Was I wrong?

I like to cut in the panel and all breakers on roughs quite a bit - charge more for the rough and less to do on the finish - but it does depend on if you have to get out of there to get to the next job and not have time. All depends on if they need temp lighting or power and what time of day it is. if there is an hour or so left in the day, I'll kill the day cutting in the panel.

I've even gone so far as to splice through receptacles and test/turn on circuits to confirm they work properly and there are no shorts before it gets boarded up.

Agreed, especially if you have limited attic or crawl space to snake a "fix" later on. And, with AFCI circuits ther is no room for error.

I would probably have done the same thing. One thing that is too bad is that there are a lot of JM out there that are just looking for an excuse to bitch. The good ones will discuss some thing like this with you, maybe even express concerns, but only a turd is goingto give you a ration of s**t about it.
