description	Use after changing code, before claiming work is done — picks the correctly scoped pytest command instead of running the whole suite. Helps avoid the timeout-and-context-waste of full-suite runs on a one-service change.

Scoped test runner

The article's rule: running the full suite on a one-service change wastes context and time. Pick the narrowest command that still covers the change.

What you changed	Run
services/auth/**	uv run pytest services/auth tests/test_auth.py
services/billing/**	uv run pytest services/billing tests/test_billing.py
services/api/**	uv run pytest services/api tests/test_api.py
services/notifications/**	uv run pytest services/notifications
services/search/**	uv run pytest services/search
packages/core/** or packages/db/**	uv run pytest -q (FULL — these are imported everywhere)

Rule: a change in packages/core or packages/db always runs the full suite. A change in a single service runs only that service plus its test file.
