Linting isn't verification of correctness, and yes, you can fool the compiler, linters, etc. Work with some human interns, they are great at it. Agents will do crazy things to get around linting errors, including removing functionality.

have you no tests?

  • Irrelevant, really. Tests establish a minimum threshold of acceptability, they don't (and can't) guarantee anything like overall correctness.

    • Just checking off the list of things you've determined to be irrelevant. Compiler? Nope. Linter? Nope. Test suite? Nope. How about TLA+ specifications?
