Did you try to put all this (complex and external) context to the context (claude.md or whatever), with intructions how to do proper TDD, before asking for the tests? I know that may be more work than actual coding it as you know all it by heart and external world is always bigger than internal one. But in long term and with teams/codebases with no good TDD practises that might end up with useful test iterations.
Of course developer commiting the code is anyway responsible for it, so what I would ban is putting “AI did it” to the commits - it may mentally work as “get out of jail card” attempt for some.
we tried a few different variations but tbh had universally bad results. for example, we use `ward` test runner in our python codebase, and claude sonnet (both 3.7 and 4) keep trying to force-switch it to pytest lol. every. single. time.
maybe we could either try this with opus 4 and hope that cheaper models catch up, or just drink the kool-aid and switch to pytest...
