I've included docs and tests as part of my vibe coding endevours. It doesn't matter if either is litterally correct, but they create guardrails for future context to prevent regresssions and blind avenues, etc.
It's fairly successful but hits the time constrains and reduces the "value" of getting a local model to develop software.
It's still a bump in productivity.
