| description | Write idiomatic table-driven Go tests that stay offline and follow this repo's conventions. |
When adding tests in this codebase:
Stay offline. Use mockllm + memfs (or a t.TempDir() for file-backed
adapters). Never hit a live model or the network in a test.
Prefer table-driven cases for any behaviour with multiple inputs:
func TestThing(t *testing.T) {
cases := []struct {
name string
in string
want string
}{
{name: "empty", in: "", want: ""},
{name: "basic", in: "x", want: "X"},
}
for _, tc := range cases {
t.Run(tc.name, func(t *testing.T) {
if got := Thing(tc.in); got != tc.want {
t.Errorf("Thing(%q) = %q, want %q", tc.in, got, tc.want)
}
})
}
}
Assert error results, not panics. Tool-level failures come back as an
error ToolResult (res.IsError), not a Go error — check the result.
Run the suite with task test (which uses -race).
Cut a tagged release of mecatl — dispatch the Create Release PR workflow, review and merge the release PR, then verify the tag and the artifacts it publishes (ko images + Helm chart to GHCR, plus a GitHub Release with signed archives and a Homebrew formula bump). Use when asked to cut/ship/tag/publish a release or bump the version. NOT for general git tagging unrelated to a mecatl release.
Configure, write, or tune the mecatl learning: settings policy, including learning.mode, sensitivity, reflection budgets, and validated/evaluated activation. NOT for running /reflect, reviewing proposals or memories, drafting skills, model routing, credentials, evaluator implementation, or other harnesses.
Authors or updates Mecatl's public user documentation. Use when a change affects user-docs/, the Docusaurus site content, or a user-facing behavior that needs documentation. It follows the repository's lightweight authoring contract.
