Implementation Plan: Test Suite Curation and Organization

This plan outlines the process for categorizing, organizing, and curating the existing test suite using a central manifest and exhaustive review.

Phase 1: Research and Inventory

• Task: Initialize MMA Environment activate_skill mma-orchestrator
• Task: Inventory all existing tests in tests/ and mapping them to categories
• Task: Identify failing and redundant tests through a full execution sweep
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Research and Inventory' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: Manifest and Tooling

• Task: Design and create tests.toml manifest file
• Task: Implement a test runner wrapper or pytest configuration to respect the manifest and categories
• Task: Verify that Conductor/MMA tests can be explicitly excluded from default runs
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Manifest and Tooling' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 3: Curation and Consolidation

• Task: Fix all identified non-redundant failing tests
• Task: Consolidate redundant tests into single, comprehensive test files
• Task: Remove obsolete or deprecated test files
• Task: Standardize test naming conventions across the suite
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: Curation and Consolidation' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 4: Final Verification

• Task: Execute full test suite by category using the new manifest
• Task: Verify 100% pass rate for all non-blacklisted tests
• Task: Generate a final test coverage report
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Final Verification' (Protocol in workflow.md)
