WHAT HAPPENED

Microsoft has open sourced code-testing-generator, a polyglot unit-test agent shipping in the MIT-licensed dotnet/skills repository. It reads a repository before writing anything — detecting the language, test framework, existing conventions, and the real build and test commands — then plans, writes, runs and validates the tests it produces.
