Question 230

A detailed refactor plan was already approved and the affected modules are identified. What should the agent do next?

  1. Switch to direct implementation against the accepted plan with focused verification, not plan the same work again.
  2. Reopen the entire design discussion after each file edit.
  3. Discard the approved plan and improvise a different architecture.
  4. Skip tests to make implementation faster.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

Repeating completed planning adds overhead without resolving a new issue.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Unnecessary churn can introduce contradictory decisions.

C:

Verified requirements should be preserved unless evidence changes.

D:

The defined acceptance criteria still require checks.

Question 231

A seemingly small configuration change alters identity permissions for hundreds of tenants. Which mode is justified despite the short diff?

  1. Assume the model's confidence proves the change is safe.
  2. Disable permission checks temporarily to test the desired behavior.
  3. Edit immediately because the diff has only two lines.
  4. Use planning and impact review before execution because the affected security boundary is high risk.

Explanation

Correct Answer

D:

Impact and uncertainty matter more than line count.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Confidence does not replace entitlement review.

B:

Bypassing controls is an unsafe verification strategy.

C:

A tiny change can still broaden authorization catastrophically.

Question 232

An internal README needs a corrected command name, with no functional change or uncertain dependencies. What should Claude Code do?

  1. Directly edit the relevant line and verify the documentation reference.
  2. Start a full architecture-planning cycle for the documentation typo.
  3. Change executable code so it matches the mistaken old command.
  4. Regenerate every README in the repository.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

The work is local and deterministic.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Such planning is disproportionate.

C:

Documentation should describe the actual supported command.

D:

Broad rewriting risks losing useful instructions.

Question 233

A two-line patch to a database model changes a stored column type used by older deployments. What approach is appropriate?

  1. Apply the change directly to production and inspect errors afterward.
  2. Drop the column entirely to simplify the type conversion.
  3. Plan a compatible schema migration, rollback path and consumer updates before changing the column.
  4. Ignore database compatibility because tests for the helper pass.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

A small code diff can represent a major data-contract change.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Unplanned schema mutation risks irreversible data loss.

B:

Deletion is not a safe migration strategy.

D:

Local tests may miss deployed data and old clients.

Question 234

A production incident has a previously tested, approved rollback command and clear incident authority. What should an assistant do?

  1. Announce the rollback succeeded before executing it.
  2. Delete unrelated services to make recovery quicker.
  3. Follow the authorized bounded rollback procedure and verify its observed outcome.
  4. Pause the approved rollback to design a new failure-response procedure despite the matching tested runbook and incident authorization.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

When the safe plan is already established, execution need not restart broad design analysis.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Completion requires actual tool results.

B:

Destruction is not part of the approved procedure.

D:

An unneeded redesign delays an authorized emergency response. Follow the established rollback and check the recorded outcome.

Question 235

Generated integration tests miss the API's authentication failure path. How should the next coding iteration be guided?

  1. Ask for 'better tests' with no examples or criteria.
  2. Provide existing tests, the uncovered unauthorized-request example and explicit expected status behavior.
  3. Delete earlier passing tests to make the new suite shorter.
  4. Increase explanation length in the tests instead of exercising failure behavior.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Concrete feedback targets a demonstrable coverage gap.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Vague requests often preserve the same omissions.

C:

Discarding coverage does not fix missing negative cases.

D:

More prose cannot substitute for executable assertions.

Question 236

A code reviewer gives inconsistent issue formats even when the same policy is provided in prose. Select TWO improvements to stabilize finding format and reduce false positives.

  1. Repeat 'be consistent' in a longer system prompt without examples.
  2. Allow any output format and parse it by guessing.
  3. Show representative valid input/output examples including concrete finding format and severity labels.
  4. Remove the issue taxonomy entirely to reduce typing.
  5. Include a labeled benign counterexample that matches the expected format but is explicitly not a defect.

Explanation

Correct Answers

C:

Few-shot examples clarify structure and distinctions better than abstract adjectives alone.

E:

Positive examples teach syntax; a negative near miss calibrates when the reviewer should not manufacture a severity finding.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Repetition leaves the formatting ambiguity unresolved.

B:

Unconstrained responses are brittle for downstream tools.

D:

The review consumer still needs stable fields.

Question 237

After a refactor, a specific test fails with a stack trace and expected value. What should the next model iteration receive?

  1. Provide only the last test’s pass count to the coding agent, omitting the failing assertion and stack trace.
  2. A request to rewrite every module regardless of the trace.
  3. The precise failure, affected code, expected behavior and prior changed diff for targeted correction.
  4. Only the statement 'the code is wrong'.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Actionable feedback localizes the defect without restarting validated work.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Overall pass counts do not identify the regression. The repair needs the precise error, expected output and relevant change context.

B:

Broad changes can introduce additional regressions.

D:

It provides no information about the failure cause.

Question 238

A test-generation agent produces duplicate cases because it sees no current test inventory. What input should improve the next iteration?

  1. Delete existing tests so every new output is technically unique.
  2. Increase the requested test count without including existing test names or covered behavior.
  3. Provide the relevant existing tests and a map of uncovered behavior before requesting new cases.
  4. Tell the model to ignore duplicate identifiers if assertions differ.

Explanation

Correct Answer

C:

Visible coverage lets the agent target genuine gaps.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Removing useful tests is not progress.

B:

More generated cases can repeat the same scenarios. The author needs the existing inventory and explicit uncovered decisions.

D:

Identifier collisions can still break a suite.

Question 239

A teammate asks an assistant to 'speed up our pipeline' without specifying throughput, cost, or latency. What should the coding assistant do first?

  1. Disable authentication checks to remove a common overhead.
  2. Obtain the relevant acceptance metric and scope, using targeted questions or safe investigation before choosing changes.
  3. Assume the slowest-looking log line identifies the bottleneck.
  4. Increase all worker counts blindly.

Explanation

Correct Answer

B:

Optimization requires an explicit objective and constraints.

Incorrect Answers

A:

Security must not be sacrificed without authority.

C:

Appearance is not performance evidence.

D:

More concurrency can worsen cost or contention.

Question 240

A generated patch repeatedly modifies unrelated files despite feedback to fix one parser. How should the next iteration be constrained?

  1. Provide explicit allowed paths, minimal diff expectations and the observed parser failure.
  2. Tell the model to rewrite more files until the test happens to pass.
  3. Judge the patch by its word count rather than behavior.
  4. Squash all iterative edits into an unreviewable change set before identifying which revision caused the test failure.

Explanation

Correct Answer

A:

A bounded change request prevents scope drift and supports review.

Incorrect Answers

B:

Broad mutation hides the causal fix.

C:

Verbosity does not demonstrate correctness.

D:

Losing intermediate diffs weakens causal diagnosis. A narrow change history helps localize the regression and avoid unrelated modifications.
