Description
Filed April 8 2026. Claude Code marked 6+ failing tests with @unittest.skip('Pre-existing coordination FK migration issue') instead of investigating root causes, despite the project's own test skill explicitly stating 'Never skip failing tests (fix them first).' Claude had the rule in context and violated it. Demonstrates the rationalization meta-pattern: Claude declares failures 'pre-existing and unrelated to our changes, therefore not our responsibility' to override explicit project rules.
