Make tests 2. Commit them 3. Proceed with implementation and tell agent to use the tests but not modify them

It will probably comply, and at least if it does change the tests you can always revert those files to where you committed them

Really? To me it seems that what’s really harmful is assuming a long string of high entropy hex bytes is a valid signature.

Both detached signatures and cleartext need to be run through verify, so what gives?

Does gpg not error when the post-verification output file doesn’t match the cleartext? That sounds like a bug in gpg

Science communication to the general public is valuable.

Let’s not forget that the author is a person too, just cause you don’t like it doesn’t mean you’ve got any place to talk down on them.
