The spec → implement → test workflow caught real bugs during development (grep flag parsing, `local` keyword misuse, binary detection false positives). Writing tests that exercise dryrun against spec expectations is an effective pattern for this project.
## Use `cat -A` to diagnose invisible character issues
When a file looks correct but tooling rejects it, `cat -A` reveals non-printing characters (e.g., `M-bM-^@M-^T` for em dashes that appear identical to regular dashes). Essential for debugging YAML frontmatter, config files, and any context where encoding matters.
## Use `git diff --numstat` for binary detection instead of `file`
The `file` command is unreliable for distinguishing binary from text files (marks shell scripts as "executable"). `git diff --numstat` shows `-` for binary files and is more reliable since git already has its own binary detection heuristics.
