Captain Obvious

Deletes tests that assert what is already guaranteed — by the compiler, by the mock framework, or by the laws of logic. These tests burn CI time, inflate coverage confidence, and can never catch a regression. They are the signature of AI-generated test suites (empirical studies find test smells in 38–100% of LLM-generated tests).

The heavy lifting is done by two deterministic scripts in scripts/. Your job is orchestration: run them, interpret the report, clean up the residue, and verify nothing broke. Do not hand-scan test files or spawn subagents per file — one script invocation scans the whole project.
