> This started breaking down after ~30 files. Sometimes it would miss a file. Sometimes it would triple-test a bundle of files and take 10 minutes instead of 3. An error in one file would convince it it needs to re-test four previous files, for no reason. It was very frustrating.

Sorry, you thought a prompt was a suitable replacement for a testing suite?

If you are invested in AI stocks, this is the way. You are basically funneling money from software companies into your brokerage account. Keep going.
