-# TESTING
-
-How to run this project's tests, for people and for agents. The fenced
-`yaml test-contract` block below is the machine surface: `testmd validate`
-checks it, `testmd run` executes it and writes receipts, and the stop gate
-verifies receipts before an agent may claim DONE. Edit the YAML, keep the
-fence line exactly as-is, and never paste secret values into it (fixture
-NAMES only).
-
-```yaml test-contract
-version: "0.1"
-entry: npm test
-suites:
-  unit:
-    cmd: npm test
-    timeout_s: 600
-  lint:
-    cmd: npm run lint
-    required: false
-    timeout_s: 120
-pass:
-  exit: 0
-forbidden:
-  - skip-failing
-  - delete-tests
-  - mock-prod
-  - claim-pass-on-timeout
-flake:
-  retries: 0
-  on_flaky: fail
-receipt:
-  format: json
-  path: .testmd/receipts
-  bind: gitCommit
-```

-## Notes for contributors
-
-- `testmd run` executes every suite and writes one receipt per suite under
-  `.testmd/receipts/` (add that directory to `.gitignore`).
-- A receipt is bound to the contract text AND the git commit it ran at; edit
-  either and the receipt goes stale — re-run.
-- Optional suites (`required: false`) may fail without failing the gate.
