# update or delete tests that assert intentionally removed behavior

## Trigger

- (no explicit trigger metadata; cluster derived from category/tags)

## Required Procedure

- update or delete tests that assert intentionally removed behavior
- verify no test asserts behavior the changeset deliberately removes

## Forbidden Shortcuts

- (none recorded)

## Delegation Template

When delegating a task affected by this skill, include:

```
SKILLS: file:.opencode/skills/generated/update-or-delete-tests-that-assert-intentionally-removed-behavio/SKILL.md
```

## Reviewer Checks

- grep test files for removed code patterns (e.g. Date.now() timestamps, deprecated API calls)
- run full test suite after changes and classify every failure as regression vs stale-test

## Test Engineer Checks

- Add or update tests covering the trigger condition and the forbidden shortcut.

## Source Knowledge IDs

- ca60f911-c1d4-4fb1-8245-44bf6cf95045 — When intentionally removing a code path, update or delete all tests asserting the old behavior in the same changeset — stale assertions that validate removed behavior count as test failures, not expected regressions.
