Video falls back to the billed xAI API. USE WHEN a user wants to generate an image via a locally logged-in Grok Build CLI session, e.g. 'generate an image with grok', 'use grok build', or 'use my logged-in grok session'.
Shared reference for the Selemene cluster: the two report surfaces (deterministic Rust reports vs. narrative witness-pipeline readings), the @selemene/bridge CLI contract, the output manifest format, and non-prescriptive witnessing tone. USE WHEN deciding which Selemene surface to invoke or when routing between birth/compatibility/transit reports and solo/dyadic readings.
Route Selemene Engine tasks to the right surface: deterministic reports (birth/compatibility/transit) via selemene-core and the @selemene/bridge CLI, or narrative witness readings via selemene-report. USE WHEN the user wants anything under the Selemene/Noesis umbrella but has not named the exact surface.

Testing Best Practices
DO
Use factories : Instead of manual object creation
One assertion per test : Keep tests focused
Descriptive test names : test_user_cannot_delete_others_post
Test edge cases : Empty inputs, None values, boundary conditions
Mock external services : Don't depend on external APIs
Use fixtures : Eliminate duplication
Test permissions : Ensure authorization works
Keep tests fast : Use --reuse-db and --nomigrations
DON'T
Don't test Django internals : Trust Django to work
Don't test third-party code : Trust libraries to work
Don't ignore failing tests : All tests must pass
Don't make tests dependent : Tests should run in any order
Don't over-mock : Mock only external dependencies
Don't test private methods : Test public interface
Don't use production database : Always use test database

Remember: Tests are documentation. Good tests explain how your code should work. Keep them simple, readable, and maintainable.
