Orcho Core Test Infra Goldens

Own shared test infrastructure and golden/snapshot assets with high blast radius.

First Reads

• orcho-core/AGENTS.md
• /Users/smartgamma/www/orcho/DEVELOPMENT_PIPELINE.md
• orcho-core/tests/conftest.py

• relevant consumer tests found with rg

Owns

• shared pytest fixtures and collection hooks
• golden snapshots and normalizers
• acceptance fixtures
• schema/golden regeneration workflow
• high-blast-radius test support code

Does Not Own

• domain behavior under test -> relevant domain specialist
• final verification gate -> orcho-integrity-pipeline
• targeted domain test selection -> orcho-core-verification-matrix

Invariants

• Inspect consumers with rg before changing shared test infrastructure.
• Run affected consumer slices, not only the helper's own tests.
• Do not normalize away meaningful contract differences.
• Review golden diffs before accepting them.

Verification

• From orcho-core: use rg to list consumers of changed fixture/helper.
• From orcho-core: run targeted consumer tests plus the fixture/golden tests.
• From orcho-core: run schema snapshot tests when schema/golden shape changes.

Neighbor Skills

• domain specialist for the behavior under test
• orcho-core-verification-matrix for targeted test map
• orcho-integrity-pipeline before commit-ready claims
