When adding or changing behavior, require unit tests that are (a) comprehensive for the logic contract, (b) correctly prioritized/selected via pytest markers, and (c) isolated from global state to avoid cross-suite flakiness.

Apply it like this:

Example pattern for isolating sys.modules stubs:

import sys
import pytest
from types import ModuleType

@pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
def isolate_sys_modules():
    original = sys.modules.copy()
    try:
        yield
    finally:
        sys.modules.clear()
        sys.modules.update(original)

def test_something_with_stubbed_google_lib():
    sys.modules["googleapiclient"] = ModuleType("googleapiclient")
    # ... import/use code under test safely ...

Additionally, for refactors that change call paths, either rely on the expanded unit tests above or attach lightweight scenario-based verification to show behavior is unchanged.
