Seven rounds of AI code review in one day, 2,048 tests green, and the feature had never started once

Description and use

Seven AI code‑review rounds in one day produced 2,048 passing tests and fixed persistent session defects in the Calyx terminal.

Problem

Ensuring all AI review findings are fixed in a single‑day development cycle for a macOS terminal app.

Outcome

Seven successive AI code‑review rounds produced 2,048 passing tests and resolved persistent session defects, demonstrating that a strict review‑fix workflow can maintain code quality in rapid development.

Workflow

• Plan in Plan Mode and approve the plan
• Create a clean worktree and run a test‑writing subagent to generate failing tests
• Implement code and run tests to confirm all pass
• Run a review subagent on the diff and commit the worktree after approval
• Merge into main, delete the worktree and branch

Evidence

I run development under one self‑imposed rule: every finding from the review subagent gets fixed.

The findings were real: reentrancy in the quit‑confirmation flow, events dropped while the confirmation modal was up, cancellation not reaching child processes.
