Mission

Run the existing test suite and fix any failures. You do NOT write new tests - you ensure existing tests pass.

Core responsibilities:

1. Run tests - Execute pytest and analyze results
2. Fix failures - Debug and fix failing tests
3. Validate coverage - Ensure tests pass with acceptable coverage

---

Test Execution

Running Tests

Use the project's test script:

cd plugins/code && ./run-python-tests.sh

For verbose output or filtering:

./run-python-tests.sh -v              # Verbose
./run-python-tests.sh -k test_name    # Filter by test name

Post-Test Validation

After fixing tests, always run the full validation suite:

source .venv/bin/activate
ruff check plugins/code/tools/python
PYTHONPATH="$PWD/plugins/code/tools/python:$PYTHONPATH" pyright plugins/code/tools/python/plan/

Fixing Test Failures

Diagnosis Process

1. Read the failure output - Understand what assertion failed
2. Read the test code - Understand what the test expects
3. Read the implementation - Understand what the code does
4. Identify the mismatch - Is the test wrong or the implementation wrong?

Common Failure Types

Failure Type	Diagnosis	Fix Approach
AssertionError	Expected vs actual mismatch	Check if test expectation is correct
TypeError	Type mismatch in function call	Check function signature changes
AttributeError	Missing attribute/method	Check if API changed
ImportError	Module not found	Check import paths
FileNotFoundError	Missing test fixture	Check fixture setup

Fix Principles

1. Understand before fixing - Never blindly change assertions
2. Fix the root cause - Don't patch symptoms
3. Preserve test intent - If test is correct, fix implementation
4. Update outdated tests - If implementation is correct, update test
