Comment on: Show HN: Finalrun – Spec-driven testing using English and vision for mobile apps

This solves a massive headache. The drift between externally generated tests and an active codebase is a brutal problem to maintain.Using vision-based execution instead of brittle XPaths is a great baseline, but moving the test definitions to live directly alongside the repo context is definitely the real win here.Did you find that generating the YAML from the codebase context entirely eliminated the "stale test" issue, or do developers still need to manually tweak the generated YAML when mobile UI layouts change drastically? Great project!
