- **Zero-Assertion Ban:** You MUST NOT write tests that contain only `pass` or lack meaningful assertions. A test is only valid if it contains assertions that explicitly test the behavioral change and verify the failure condition.

- **Delegate Test Creation:** Do NOT write test code directly. Spawn a Tier 3 Worker (`python scripts/mma_exec.py --role tier3-worker "[PROMPT]"`) with a **surgical prompt** specifying WHERE (file:line range), WHAT (test to create), HOW (which assertions/fixtures to use), and SAFETY (thread constraints if applicable). Example: `"Write tests in tests/test_cost_tracker.py for cost_tracker.py:estimate_cost(). Test all model patterns in MODEL_PRICING dict. Assert unknown model returns 0. Use 1-space indentation."` (If repeating due to failures, pass `--failure-count X` to switch to a more capable model). - **Delegate Test Creation:** Do NOT write test code directly.
