I disagree it's less work. It just carte blanche rewrites tests. I've seen it rewrite and rewrite tests to the point of undermining the original test intention. So now instead of intentionally writing code and a new unit test, I need to intentionally go and review EVERY unit test it touched. Every. Time.
It also doesn't necessarily rewrite documentation as implementation changes. I've seen documentation code rot happen within the same coding session.
I've seen it do that as well. Especially Gemini 3 lately.
I've started to add an instruction to my GEMINI.md after I'm happy with the tests telling it not to edit them, but to still run them.
I solve the documentation issue the same way. By telling it when and what to update in the .md file.
