File contents

The rules are AGENTS.md, "Tests" (shape, dmesg marking, cleanup in a trap, host independence, the coverage matrix, proving the test discriminates, the docs and run.sh wiring) plus the exit-0 blind spot under "Running a script". This skill is the mechanics:

Source tests/lib.sh and use run_script/run_test instead of open-coding the run; they fail on any output, which is what catches a script that never loaded. tests/bpf/run.sh is the reference shape.
bash tools/checks/test-harness.sh <file> flags a harness blind to a failed load.
Tests are installed by sudo make install only (scripts_install does not install them); run the installed suite with sudo lunatik test <suite> (see the lunatik-cycle skill).
