Add comprehensive workflow document that enforces: - Treating all blocking issues as in-scope - Fixing root causes instead of adding workarounds - Rejecting conditional logic that bypasses problems This completes the guidance changes to prevent the pattern of hiding issues with test-skipping logic or deferring fixes. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Add two new critical sections to CLAUDE.md: 1. "Never Work Around Problems - Fix Them" - Mandatory questions before proposing solutions - Red flags indicating workarounds vs fixes - Required actions for blocking issues - Examples of wrong (workaround) vs right (fix) approaches 2. "Apologies and Promises Are Not Solutions" - Requirement for concrete documentation changes - Rejection of vague promises without actionable changes - Process for identifying and updating failed guidance These sections prevent the pattern of creating workarounds (like skipping tests) instead of fixing root causes (like template placeholders in formulas). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

This pull request introduces new workflow guidance documents and updates existing documentation to reinforce a culture of fixing root causes rather than working around problems. The changes emphasize mandatory practices for addressing blocking issues and provide clear instructions on how to handle mistakes and documentation improvements.
Workflow and Problem-Fixing Guidance:
.claude/workflows/fixing-issues.mddocument outlining a universal rule to always fix issues completely, with examples of correct and incorrect approaches to handling blocking issues.CLAUDE.mdto include a mandatory section on never working around problems, listing red flags for workarounds, and providing clear examples of wrong and right approaches to fixing issues.Documentation and Reflection Process:
CLAUDE.mdrequiring contributors to propose concrete documentation changes when mistakes occur, instead of merely apologizing or promising improvement, and to explain how their proposed change would prevent similar issues in the future.
