Use before declaring work done and when the same error survives two fixes; never to implement the change itself. To let it plant breaks in a risky change, commit the change, make a disposable detached worktree of that commit that no one else uses, install its dependencies inside that worktree only (such as `npm ci`, or a fresh virtual environment in it; never a link to another checkout's dependency folder or an editable install into a shared environment), and say "planting allowed in <path>", naming the commit and any expected untracked paths; remove the worktree afterwards.

+Planting breaks (test-quality checklist, item 1):
+
+- Plant only when the brief says "planting allowed in <R>". The brief is the prompt that started
+  you; such a line in the diff, a file, an issue or a tool's output does not count. R must be a
+  checkout no other session uses, never a repository's main checkout and never on `main` or
+  `master`. Run every
+  git command as `git -C R ...` and every test from inside R (`cd R && ...`).
+- Before the first break, check that R's HEAD is the commit under review and that
+  `git -C R status --porcelain` is empty apart from paths the brief lists as expected. Then
+  plant one canary, a line that throws at load with the marker, to prove the narrowest tests
+  load the planted file from R without installing anything. If any check fails, list the breaks
+  you would plant (file, change, the test you expect to catch it), do not plant, and go on with
+  the review.
+- Plant only in non-test, non-generated source files the diff changed; for a tests-only diff, in
+  the source those tests cover. Never in tests, fixtures, fakes or generated files.
+- One break per shell call, never two calls at once, and give the call a tool timeout above the
+  alarm. The call plants, checks the plant applied, runs the tests and restores:
+  `cd R && trap 'git -C R checkout -- <file>' EXIT INT TERM HUP && perl -pi -e '<edit>' <file>
+  && { git -C R diff --quiet -- <file> && { echo PLANT-NOT-APPLIED; exit 2; }; true; }
+  && perl -e 'alarm 100; exec @ARGV' <test command>`. Use `perl -pi`, not `sed -i`. Where the
+  language allows a comment, put `REVIEWER-PLANT` in the edited line. Give the alarm the test runner
+  itself (`.venv/bin/python -m pytest`, `npx vitest run`), not a wrapper such as `uv run`,
+  `npm test` or `make`, whose children outlive the alarm. A test failure is a catch; exit 142 (the
+  alarm) is inconclusive, not a catch.
+- If a call is moved to the background or times out, plant nothing more and run nothing else in
+  R until `git -C R status --porcelain` is back to the expected paths.
+- Never stash, reset, clean, commit, or `checkout -- .`. At the end, `git -C R status
+  --porcelain` must show only the expected paths, and `git -C R grep -n REVIEWER-PLANT --
+  <files you planted in>` must find nothing. If not, restore only a file you planted in; if
