Home Assistant takes this one step farther. There is a pre-run hook that goes out its way to make it hard to run an “integration” that doesn’t meet its quality standard. I get that they don’t want to get PRs for integrations that don’t check the checklist, but as someone writing an integration (which I’m currently doing, for better or for worse), I want to run my own incomplete integration, thank you very much.

(One very nice thing about AI-assisted programming: Claude is not offended by duplicating the same code over and over and using utterly awful APIs, and Claude feels no particular compulsion to get distracted thinking about how the APIs I’m targeting could be made to be less awful. Try asking the Home Assistant docs how an integration is supposed to handle a hot-added entity after an integration finishes setup: you will not get an answer. Ask Claude and it will cheerfully copy the ludicrous and obviously inappropriate solution used by other integrations. Sometimes semi-blindly doing something that works is the right solution when writing piles of glue code.)
