Cistern Test Runner

Test execution protocol for Cistern cataractae. Detects repo stack and runs the correct test/build commands. Use whenever a cataractae needs to verify code correctness before signaling.

Cistern Test Runner

Detect the Stack

Check for these files in the repo root:

  • go.mod → Go
  • package.json → Node/TypeScript
  • pytest.ini, setup.py, pyproject.toml with pytest → Python
  • Makefile with test target → Make

Build Commands

Stack Build
Go go build ./...
Node/TS npm run build or tsc --noEmit
Python (no compile step)
Make make build

Test Commands

Stack Test
Go go test ./...
Node/TS npm test
Python pytest
Make make test

Lint Commands

Stack Lint
Go go vet ./...
Node/TS npm run lint
Python ruff check .
Make make lint

Rules

  1. Always run build before tests
  2. Run the full test suite (no -run filtering) unless diagnosing a specific failure
  3. Signal pass only after all tests pass — zero failures, zero exceptions
  4. Failing tests = automatic recirculate (for review/QA cataractae) or must-fix (for implementer). This is unconditional — "pre-existing" failures are still failures. A red test suite means the codebase is broken. Fix it or recirculate; never pass with failing tests.
