The quality streak loop

# The quality streak loop

## Purpose

A realistic product-testing workflow that turns every failure into documented regression coverage and restarts the success streak after each fix.

## Prompt

```text
Test realistic scenarios. When one fails, document it, add regression and benchmark coverage, fix it, and restart the streak. Stop after [N] successful cases in a row.
```

## When To Use

Use this when product quality needs a strict consecutive-success bar and failures should permanently improve the test and benchmark suite.

## Workflow

- Define realistic scenarios, the quality bar, the value of [N], and the evidence required for a pass.
- Run cases one at a time under consistent conditions and preserve the result for review.
- On any failure, document it, add regression and benchmark coverage, fix the cause, verify the fix, and reset the streak to zero.
- Stop only after [N] consecutive cases meet the original quality bar.

## Verifier

The latest [N] realistic cases pass in a row.

Every earlier failure is documented, fixed, and protected by regression and benchmark coverage.

## Notes

Restarting the streak prevents isolated successes from hiding intermittent weaknesses. Converting each failure into durable coverage makes the evaluation stronger after every miss.

Choose [N] before the run and keep the scenario distribution representative. Do not lower the quality bar or avoid difficult cases to preserve the streak.
