Now reproduce each failure deliberately. Keep the AI strictly in the **browser chat** — no
editor-integrated tools yet (those arrive in Module 4). This is the "before" picture on purpose.
1. **Seam 1 (multiple files).** Paste *only* `cli.py` into your chat and ask: *"Add a `clear`
command that removes all tasks."* Apply whatever it gives you. Now run `python cli.py clear`.
Notice what the AI didn't know: it couldn't see `tasks.py`, so if a clean implementation belonged
there, it had to guess or cram it into the file it could see. Feel how *you* had to be the one to
know which files were involved.
1. **Seam 1 (multiple files).** First mark a task done so there's something to hide — `python cli.py
done 0`, then `python cli.py list` shows it as `[x]`. Now paste *only* `cli.py` into your chat and
ask: *"Make the `list` command hide tasks that are already done."* Apply whatever it gives you and
run `python cli.py list`. The clean version of this change lives in `tasks.py` — the file you
*didn't* paste: open it and you'll see `render()` already owns the `[x]`/`[ ]` box-and-index
formatting, and a `pending()` helper already returns exactly the not-done tasks. But the chat
never saw that file, so it had to either guess at methods it couldn't see (and `python cli.py
list` errors out) or reach into the raw task list and *re-create* that box-and-index formatting
inside `cli.py` — duplicating logic that already existed one file over. Either way, *you* had to
be the one who knew the change really belonged in the other file.
2. **Seam 2 (across time).** Close the chat tab. Open a new one. Ask it to *"continue where we left
off."* Watch it have no idea what you were doing. The project's real state is sitting right there
