You're back to explaining that you prefer single quotes and that the CI pipeline needs --run to avoid watch mode. Some frameworks have memory plugins. They work — sort of. But they're coupled to one framework, they accumulate junk over time, and nobody's cleaning up the contradictions from three weeks ago when you changed your mind about the database.
