Include: exact command, expected output if claim is true, expected output if a failure mode is real, and why this test can't accidentally pass under the failure. Think especially about: null hypothesis (feature isn't active at all), silent failures (error swallowed, fallback triggered silently), and tests that pass in test env but would fail in prod.
+- **falsification_test**: Concrete check that distinguishes your hypothesis from failure modes. Can be a command, a procedure, a log snippet to look for, or an experiment observation.

Think especially about: null hypothesis (feature isn't active at all), silent failures (error swallowed, fallback triggered silently), and env mismatch (passes in test, broken in prod).
