freeze-tests — Skillopedia

Freeze Tests Mode When activated, blocks all modifications to test files. Use during refactoring to ensure behavior (as captured by tests) is preserved. What It Does Blocks Write and Edit operations on any file matching test patterns: - - - - Activation Deactivate with . Hook Configuration Enforcement Logic When to Use 1. Refactoring : Changing code structure without changing behavior 2. Performance optimization : Making code faster without changing logic 3. Dependency updates : Upgrading libraries while preserving behavior Gotchas - Frozen tests can't be fixed if they break during refactorin…
