Root cause: I ran the full unit suite at the end of every autodev
batch despite implement/SKILL.md already saying that is forbidden
(lines 33, 136, 145, 372). The skill's existing rules were buried
mid-document; coderule.mdc's general "run full suite when done"
overrode them in practice because each batch felt like a "done"
point.
Two targeted clarifications:
- .cursor/rules/coderule.mdc: add an Iterative-Skill Exception
bullet stating that when an iterative loop skill (autodev /
implement batch loop, refactor batch loop) is active, the
skill governs full-suite cadence and "done with changes"
means done with the implementation phase, not done with one
batch.
- .cursor/skills/implement/SKILL.md: hoist the per-batch / per-
task / Step-16 cadence rule into a top-of-file "READ FIRST,
EVERY BATCH" banner with an explicit anti-pattern check ("if
you catch yourself about to run pytest tests/ at end of batch,
STOP").
