# TDD Red Phase

## CRITICAL BEHAVIORAL RULES

You MUST follow these rules exactly. Violating any of them is a failure.

1. **Write tests only - no production code.** Do NOT implement any production code during this phase.
2. **Verify tests fail.** All generated tests MUST fail when run. If any test passes, investigate and fix.
3. **Halt on error.** If test generation fails (syntax errors, import issues), STOP and present the error to the user.
