Implement a comprehensive AI-driven smoke test suite while removing unused dependencies and improving test reliability. The changes streamline the testing process, enhance visibility, and ensure consistent evaluation across different environments. Additionally, the configuration for model versions and smoke test settings has been updated for better performance and maintainability.

- Remove unnecessary documentation file for PostgreSQL removal
- Clean up unused dependencies from pyproject.toml
- Update test package description to be generic
- Update uv.lock to reflect dependency changes

Implemented a lightweight smoke test system that validates all Makefile
commands with minimal overhead. The test suite runs in under 2 minutes
and provides clear visibility into what's being tested and validated.
Key features:
- 31 smoke tests covering all user-facing commands
- Enhanced output visibility showing actual command output (2-3 lines)
- Smart filtering to skip boilerplate and show meaningful content
- Startup tests for heavy commands that verify processing begins
- Context display showing where validation patterns are found
- Clear pass/fail indicators with informative messages
- No external test framework dependencies (uses Python stdlib + YAML)
The implementation follows the ruthless simplicity philosophy:
- Direct subprocess execution without complex abstractions
- Simple YAML configuration for test definitions
- Minimal validation that catches 90% of issues
- Fast execution (< 2 minutes for full suite)
Tests are divided into categories:
- Basic commands (help, check, worktree operations)
- Content commands (scan, search, status)
- Knowledge commands (sync, search, export, events)
- Graph commands (build, search, neighbors, export)
- Heavy startup tests (verify processing begins within 10 seconds)
The enhanced visibility improvements address user feedback by showing
what commands actually output and what patterns are being validated,
making it clear what each test is checking without overwhelming the
observer with unnecessary details.

- Fixed Triage Test to create .md file instead of .txt (triage expects markdown)
- Removed trivial AI Validation Example test that only echoed text
- Fixed Help Command pattern to match 'QUICK START' (uppercase)
- Added meaningful validation patterns for tests that only checked exit codes
- Fixed Knowledge Events validation to match actual log output format
- All 30 smoke tests now pass successfully
Note: Content tests take 15-18s because they scan actual filesystem,
which is expected behavior for content scanning operations.
…endent tests
- Remove Worktree List test that depended on specific branch names
- Fix Content Scan validation to check for actual output patterns
- Simplify Clean WSL Files test to only verify exit code (cleanup should be silent)
- Remove year-specific checks from Knowledge Events test (fragile date dependencies)
- Fix Run Tests validation to check for session start instead of PASSED/FAILED
These changes make the smoke tests more reliable across different environments
and reduce false failures from transient state dependencies.

Replace complex regex-based smoke tests with AI evaluation approach:
- Add model configuration system (fast/default/thinking categories)
- Create AI-driven test runner that evaluates outputs like a human would
- Use isolated test environments to prevent side effects
- Simplify test definitions to just commands and success criteria
- Remove brittle pattern matching and complex validation logic
Key improvements:
- Tests complete in ~11 seconds vs previous implementation
- Gracefully handles unavailable AI (falls back to basic checks)
- No regex patterns or hardcoded validation rules
- Reduced from 400+ lines to modular components totaling 413 lines
- Follows ruthless simplicity and modular design philosophies

Updates model configuration to use the latest Claude model versions
as specified by the user.
- Replaced Anthropic API with Claude Code SDK for AI evaluation
- Made test runner async to support SDK's async operations
- Fixed empty pass statement to comply with stub checker
- Tests now work within Claude Code environment using SDK
- AI provides meaningful pass/fail evaluation for each test
- Gracefully handles SDK unavailability outside Claude Code
The smoke tests now use the same Claude Code SDK that's already
working in the knowledge extraction system, providing consistent
AI evaluation across the codebase.
- Add test_article.md with structured content for knowledge extraction testing
- Add test_code.py with sample Python function for code processing testing
- These files are used by the smoke test isolated environment
- Provides consistent test data that won't change over time
These test files replace the need to process production content during
smoke tests, making tests more predictable and faster while still
validating the core functionality works correctly.
- Create data subdirectory for amplifier data isolation
- Only create sample files if they don't already exist (preserve test data)
- Improve cleanup to only remove cache files, not test data
- Add environment variables for model selection and AI skip behavior
- Ensure test data directory uses absolute paths
These changes make smoke tests more reliable and preserve test data
between runs for easier debugging.

- Handle node attributes properly for GEXF export compatibility
- Add proper test data structure with knowledge extractions and events

Remove previously tracked runtime artifacts from .smoke_test_data/data/
and add the directory to .gitignore to prevent future tracking. These
files (query logs, knowledge graphs, extractions) are generated during
smoke test execution and should remain local-only.
Previously tracked files removed:
- .smoke_test_data/data/knowledge/events.jsonl
- .smoke_test_data/data/knowledge/extractions.jsonl
- .smoke_test_data/data/knowledge/graph.gexf
- .smoke_test_data/data/knowledge/query_log.jsonl
These runtime artifacts were inadvertently committed but are now properly
excluded from version control while preserving test fixture files in the
parent .smoke_test_data/ directory.

- Defined 5 must-have features for reliable doc regeneration
- Created test case template for amplifier/README.md
- Deferred 21 features to backlog (updated MASTER_BACKLOG to 57 items)
- Captured convergence completion summary
Sprint Planning (v0.3.0):
- Sprint 8 (4 days): Template parser & manual regen command
- Sprint 9 (3 days): Source context & structure preservation
- Sprint 10 (3 days): Change detection & user confirmation
- Integrated issues microsoft#4, microsoft#5, microsoft#6, microsoft#7 into sprint work
Workflow Improvements:
- Fixed convergence-architect to create all 4 required outputs
- Fixed sprint-planner to use proper versioned directory structure
- Added test case template creation to convergence Phase 3
- Added validation checklists to prevent incomplete workflows
Test Case:
- Created templates/amplifier_readme.json as primary test case
- 9 sections covering real-world README structure
- Will validate all v0.3.0 features against actual project
