From 45ad322e0cbbb04273076f525fcffb3a255e3a1b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "will.anderson" Date: Thu, 11 Jun 2026 11:40:58 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] test(stewardship): add comprehensive test suite for Layer 2 stewardship MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit 35 test cases covering all five public functions: steward_align (pass-through, all five misalignment signals, empty input, json_get field extraction, redirect shape), steward_validate_imprint (standard tools, platform-only tools with/without platform_auth, auth=false string), steward_cgi_check (all four gated actions, non-gated actions, empty action, action name echoed in response), and steward_get_mission (non-empty, contains "integrity", not an error object). Also documents the known bug surface from the code review: the && operator in steward_get_mission and the non-Config fallthrough — tests are written against the actual runtime behaviour so they will catch regressions when those bugs are fixed. --- tests/test_stewardship.el | 400 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 400 insertions(+) create mode 100644 tests/test_stewardship.el diff --git a/tests/test_stewardship.el b/tests/test_stewardship.el new file mode 100644 index 0000000..5c3c6bb --- /dev/null +++ b/tests/test_stewardship.el @@ -0,0 +1,400 @@ +// tests/test_stewardship.el — Test suite for stewardship.el (Layer 2) +// +// El has no native test framework.
