description	DDE subordinate extension. Python pytest-based test design/execution workflow with strict DDE write gating.

DDE Extension: Python Testing

Skill Version: v0.1

Authority Chain

• Commander: dde-bootstrap
• Write gate: dde-code-guard
• This skill is execution-capable but write-constrained.

When to Use

• Add/fix pytest coverage for Python modules
• Reproduce and lock regressions with tests
• Validate Python behavior after refactor

Execution Scope

Allowed:

• Analyze test topology and coverage gaps
• Design pytest cases/fixtures/markers
• Run pytest and summarize failures

Write-sensitive actions:

• Modifying *.py, tests/*.py, pytest configs
• Must be handed off to dde-code-guard

Mandatory Flow

1. Define behavior to protect.
2. Inspect existing tests and gaps.
3. Run targeted tests, then broader checks.
4. If file edits needed, emit handoff:

DDE_EXTENSION_HANDOFF_REQUIRED

Fields:

• Reason
• Target files
• New/updated test intent
• Risk and rollback note

5. Wait for [APPROVED] in guard flow before write.

Output Contract

• Coverage gap summary
• Failure clusters
• Minimal test patch proposal
• Handoff block when write is needed
