description	Run Prysm unit tests with Bazel for affected packages, or a given target.

Unit test runner

Usage

• /test — test affected packages (from git diff)
• /test //beacon-chain/sync/... — test a specific target
• /test //... — test everything (slow)

Steps

1. Determine targets — if the user gave one, use it; otherwise derive from the diff:

   git diff --name-only HEAD | grep '\.go$' | xargs -I{} dirname {} | sort -u | sed 's|^|//|;s|$|/...|'
   

2. Run:

   bazel test <targets> \
     --keep_going \
     --test_output=errors \
     --flaky_test_attempts=3 \
     --build_tests_only
   

3. Report:

   ✅ Passed: X
   ❌ Failed: Y
     - //package:test — error summary
   

   Flaky tests that pass on retry are fine.
