Dual-loop BDD is the new Red-green TDD

This one goes out to all the testing neophytes who only recently realized (https://simonwillison.net/guides/agentic-engineering-patterns/red-green-tdd/) that it's useful to have an automated means of verifying their code does what it claims to do. For the last month, I've been working on prove_it (https://github.com/searls/prove_it), a framework for building quality harnesses for Claude Code (https://claude.com/product/claude-code)—primarily via its hooks system (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/hooks). In a recent release, I added TDD enforcement to its default configuration. First, it injects a test-first development approach into every plan Claude generates. Then, a PreToolUse hook follows up with permissionDecisionReason reminders whenever the agent deviates from the one true path (e.g., repeatedly edits source files without touching any tests, never runs a test to see it fail, etc.).
