 ## Coverage Requirements
 
 ### Threshold: 97%
 
-The project enforces a **minimum 97% code coverage** at all times. This is a hard gate — both CI and local `nox` runs will fail if coverage drops below this threshold.
+The project enforces a **minimum 97% code coverage** at all times. This is a hard gate:
 
-The coverage check is performed by `nox -s coverage_report`, which:
+- The `nox -s coverage_report` session fails if coverage drops below 97%.
+- The Forgejo CI `coverage` job runs `nox -s coverage_report` and blocks merges on failure.
+- Branch coverage is enabled (`branch = true` in `pyproject.toml`).
 
-1. Runs all Behave tests under `coverage run`
-2. Generates HTML (`build/htmlcov/`), XML (`build/coverage.xml`), and terminal reports
-3. Emits a single-line verdict: `COVERAGE PASS: XX% (threshold 97%)` or `COVERAGE FAIL: XX% (threshold 97%)`
-4. Exits with a non-zero code if coverage is below 97%
+### How Coverage Is Measured
 
-### Configuration
+Coverage is measured by running Behave tests under `coverage.py` in serial mode:
 
-Coverage is configured in `pyproject.toml`:
+```
+coverage run --source=src -m behave -q --tags=-discovery --no-capture features/
+coverage report --show-missing --fail-under=97
+```
+
+### Coverage Output
+
+On **success**, the nox session emits:
+
+```
+COVERAGE OK: 97.2% (threshold: 97%)
+```
+
+On **failure**, the nox session emits and exits non-zero:
+
+```
+COVERAGE FAILED: 95.3% < 97% threshold
+```
+
+Both messages are single-line and CI-parseable. The CI pipeline greps for these lines to surface them in job summaries.
+
+### Coverage Reports
+
+Three report formats are generated under `build/`:
+
+| Report | Path | Description |
+|--------|------|-------------|
+| Terminal | stdout | Per-file summary with `--show-missing` |
+| HTML | `build/htmlcov/index.html` | Interactive browser report |
+| XML | `build/coverage.xml` | Cobertura-format for CI tools |
+| JSON | `build/coverage.json` | Machine-readable totals and per-file data |

 All test files go under `features/` (Behave) or `robot/` (Robot Framework). Never create a `tests/` directory.
 
-## Test Organization
+## Unit Tests (Behave)
 
-### Behave Tests (`features/`)
+Unit tests use the [Behave](https://behave.readthedocs.io/) BDD framework with Gherkin-syntax `.feature` files.
 
-- Feature files: `features/<name>.feature`
-- Step definitions: `features/steps/<name>_steps.py`
-- Mock implementations: `features/mocks/`
-- Environment setup: `features/environment.py`
+### Structure
 
-**Naming conventions:**
-- Feature-specific steps go in `<feature_name>_steps.py`
-- Shared steps go in clearly named reusable modules
-- All step files must be complete — no placeholder steps
+```
+features/
+  *.feature          # Feature files (Gherkin scenarios)
+  steps/             # Step definitions (Python)
+  mocks/             # Mock implementations (test doubles)
+  fixtures/          # Test fixture data
+  environment.py     # Behave hooks (before/after scenario, etc.)
+```
 
-### Robot Framework Tests (`robot/`)
+### Guidelines
 
-- Test suites: `robot/<name>.robot`
-- Resource files: `robot/<name>.resource`
-- Common resources: `robot/common.resource`
+- **No pytest**: All unit tests must be Behave-based. There is intentionally no `tests/` directory.
+- **Step naming**: Use unique, descriptive step names. Behave loads all step files globally; ambiguous steps cause `AmbiguousStep` errors.
+- **Feature naming**: Name feature-specific step files after their feature (e.g., `foo.feature` -> `foo_steps.py`).
+- **Mocks in features/ only**: All mock implementations live in `features/mocks/`. Production code (`src/`) must never contain test doubles.
 
-### Benchmarks
+### Running Specific Features
 
-- ASV benchmarks: `asv/benchmarks/<name>.py`
-- Legacy benchmarks: `benchmarks/<name>.py`
+```bash
+# Run a single feature file
+nox -s unit_tests -- features/plan_model.feature
 
-## CI Integration
+# Run scenarios with a specific tag
+nox -s unit_tests -- --tags=@smoke
+```
 
-The `coverage` CI job runs `nox -s coverage_report` and:
+## Integration Tests (Robot Framework)
 
-- Fails the pipeline if coverage is below 97%
-- Uploads `build/coverage.xml` and `build/htmlcov/` as artifacts (retained 30 days)
-- Surfaces the coverage verdict in the job summary
+Integration tests use [Robot Framework](https://robotframework.org/) for end-to-end and system-level testing.

+- **Timeouts**: Always add `timeout=` to `Run Process` calls that invoke long-running commands.
+- **Slow tests**: Tag tests that require external services (API keys, running servers) with `slow`. These are excluded in CI via `--exclude slow`.

+7. **coverage** — `nox -s coverage_report` (fail-under 97%)
+8. **build** — `nox -s build` (wheel)
+
+All jobs use Python 3.13 and route commands through `nox`. See `docs/development/ci-cd.md` for full CI/CD documentation.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
 ### Coverage report shows 0% or very low coverage
 
-This usually means behave tests are running in a subprocess that coverage cannot instrument. Ensure:
+Ensure you're running in serial mode (not parallel). The `coverage_report` nox session handles this correctly. Do not run `behave` directly outside of `coverage run`.
 
-- `nox -s coverage_report` is used (not direct `behave` invocation)
+Also ensure:
 - `parallel = false` is set in `[tool.coverage.run]`
-- `COVERAGE_FILE` and `COVERAGE_RCFILE` env vars are set correctly
+- `COVERAGE_FILE` and `COVERAGE_RCFILE` env vars are set correctly by the nox session
 
-### Robot tests fail with "resource not found"
+### AmbiguousStep errors in Behave
 
-Use `${CURDIR}/` prefix for all `Resource` imports in robot files:
+Two step files define the same `@given`/`@when`/`@then` pattern. Behave loads all step files globally. Make step names unique or use more specific patterns.
 
-```robot
-Resource    ${CURDIR}/common.resource
-```
+### Robot `Resource file does not exist`
+
+Use `Resource ${CURDIR}/filename.resource` instead of bare `Resource filename.resource`. Robot resolves bare paths relative to CWD, not the test file directory.
+
+### Robot `No module named cleveragents`
+
+Ensure Robot tests use `${PYTHON}` (injected by nox from the venv) instead of bare `python` in `Run Process` calls.

   - **Fix**: Add a minimal placeholder resource file to silence the warning.
 - **Cleanup**: Remove the temporary CI debug dump in `integration_tests` now that the failure mode has been addressed.
 
+**2026-02-13**: Task Q0-min-coverage In Progress - Coverage Threshold Enforcement [Brent]
+
+- Enhanced `coverage_report` nox session (`noxfile.py:457-523`):
+  - Added `COVERAGE_THRESHOLD = 97` module-level constant (single source of truth)
+  - Session now generates HTML/XML reports **before** checking threshold (reports always available, even on failure)
+  - Added `coverage json -o build/coverage.json` for machine-readable total percentage
+  - Emits CI-parseable single-line summary: `COVERAGE OK: <pct>% (threshold: 97%)` or `COVERAGE FAILED: <pct>% < 97% threshold`
+  - Uses `session.error()` (non-zero exit) on failure for clear CI signaling
+  - Added `os.makedirs("build", exist_ok=True)` for fresh CI checkouts
+- Updated CI workflow (`.forgejo/workflows/ci.yml:169-194`):
+  - Coverage job now tees nox output and greps for summary line
+  - Added "Surface coverage summary" step that reads `build/coverage.json` and emits/fails with single-line message
+  - `build/coverage.json` added to uploaded artifacts
+- Created `docs/development/testing.md` (180+ lines):
+  - Full testing guide covering unit (Behave), integration (Robot), benchmarks (ASV), and coverage
+  - Documents 97% threshold, CI pipeline stages, troubleshooting section
+  - Sample success/failure output for CI parsing
+- Created `features/coverage_threshold_enforcement.feature` (11 scenarios):
+  - Validates COVERAGE_THRESHOLD constant is 97 in noxfile.py
+  - Validates fail-under argument references the constant
+  - Validates branch coverage enabled, source includes src, paths under build/
+  - Validates CI job references nox session and depends on lint+typecheck
+  - Validates CI-parseable COVERAGE OK/FAILED summary lines in session source
+- Created `features/steps/coverage_threshold_enforcement_steps.py` with step definitions
+- Created `robot/coverage_threshold.robot` (6 test cases) validating config presence
+- Created `benchmarks/coverage_report_bench.py` (4 benchmarks) for config parsing

+**2026-02-13**: Task Q0-adv-security In Progress - Align Security Scans with Nox [Brent]
+
+- Updated `noxfile.py:547-619` (`security_scan` session):
+  - Added Semgrep as Step 3 (between Bandit and Vulture): runs `semgrep --config=.semgrep.yml --error --quiet src/` with `success_codes=[0, 1]`
+  - Added comprehensive docstring documenting all 4 steps and severity gates (Bandit HIGH=hard fail, MEDIUM=report-only; Semgrep ERROR=hard fail, WARNING=report-only; Vulture >=80%=hard fail)
+  - Checks for `.semgrep.yml` existence before running semgrep (graceful skip with `session.warn()`)
+- Updated `pyproject.toml:66`: Added `"semgrep>=1.60.0"` to dev dependencies
+- Updated `.pre-commit-config.yaml:90`: Changed semgrep hook from `scripts/run-semgrep.sh` wrapper to direct `semgrep --config=.semgrep.yml --error --quiet src/` invocation (semgrep is now a project dependency, no wrapper needed)
+- Updated `docs/development/quality-automation.md`:
+  - Quick Start: security_scan description now says "Bandit + Semgrep + Vulture"
+  - Security section: semgrep note changed from "optional" to "project dependency"
+  - Quality gate script: coverage-min 85->97
+  - Gates checked: Coverage >= 85% -> 97%
+  - Troubleshooting: "Coverage below 85%" -> "Coverage below 97%" with threshold note
+- Created `features/security_scan_hooks.feature` (13 scenarios):
+  - Validates Bandit and Semgrep hooks in `.pre-commit-config.yaml` (id, files pattern, args)
+  - Validates semgrep and bandit in dev dependencies
+  - Validates security_scan nox session exists and runs bandit/semgrep/vulture
+  - Validates `.semgrep.yml` has at least 3 rules
+- Created `features/steps/security_scan_hooks_steps.py`: Step definitions using yaml, ast, tomllib for config validation
+- Created `robot/security_scan.robot` (6 test cases): Config presence validation for bandit, semgrep, pre-commit hooks, nox session
+- Created `robot/helper_security_scan.py`: Helper script for Robot tests (AST-based nox session verification)
+- Created `benchmarks/security_scan_bench.py` (4 benchmarks): YAML parsing, hook extraction, semgrep rule parsing, AST session extraction
+- **Verification**: lint 0 findings, typecheck 0 errors, 2248 unit scenarios passed (13 new), 217 integration tests passed (6 new), 97.5% coverage, benchmarks ok

+**2026-02-17**: Bugfix - Unit Test and Benchmark Failures After Master Merge [Brent]
+
+- **Context**: After merging master into `feature/q0-min-coverage` (commit `7ddd99b`), full `nox` run showed 2 failing sessions: `unit_tests-3.13` (1 scenario failure) and `benchmark` (multiple benchmark failures). All other sessions (lint, format, typecheck, security_scan, dead_code, integration_tests, coverage_report) passed.
+- **Unit test failure** — `features/project_repository.feature:38` "List projects respects limit":
+  - **Root cause**: Session mismatch in `features/steps/project_repository_steps.py`. The `NamespacedProjectRepository` creates a new SQLAlchemy session via `self._session_factory()` on each method call (session-factory pattern). The test setup passed a `sessionmaker` as the factory, so each repo method got a different session. When `context.pr_session.commit()` was called, it committed a separate session that did NOT contain the flushed data from the repo's sessions. With SQLite in-memory, only 1 of 3 projects was visible when querying with `limit=2`.
+  - **Fix** (`features/steps/project_repository_steps.py:75-91`): Changed the session factory passed to the repos from `sf` (the raw `sessionmaker`) to `lambda: session` (always returns the same session instance as `context.pr_session`). This ensures `context.pr_session.commit()` commits the data flushed by the repos. The raw `sessionmaker` is still available as `context.pr_session_factory` for tests that need independent sessions (e.g., `step_pr_create_dup`).
+- **Benchmark failures** — 5 distinct issues across 7 files:
+  1. **`cli_format_bench.py`**: `ActionListFormatSuite.setup()` and `PlanStatusFormatSuite.setup()` missing `fmt` parameter. ASV passes the parameterized value to `setup()`/`teardown()` for classes with `params`. Fix: added `fmt: str` parameter to both `setup()` and `teardown()` methods. Added `# noqa: RUF012` for ASV convention `params`/`param_names` class attributes.
+  2. **`plan_model_bench.py`**: `PhaseTransitionSuite.time_can_transition_invalid` referenced `PlanPhase.APPLIED` which no longer exists (renamed to `PlanPhase.APPLY` during spec rebaseline). Fix: changed to `PlanPhase.APPLY`.
+  3. **`plan_lifecycle_persistence_bench.py`**: `TimePhaseTransitionPersisted.time_execute_transition` failed on second ASV iteration with "Invalid phase transition from execute to execute" because `setup()` transitioned the plan to execute-ready state once, but the timing method was called repeatedly. Fix: moved plan creation + strategize transitions into the timing method itself so each iteration gets a fresh plan.
+  4. **UNIQUE constraint failures** in `plan_phase_migration_bench.py`, `project_migration_bench.py`, `resource_registry_migration_bench.py`: Benchmark methods inserted rows with fixed IDs (e.g., `_make_ulid(i)` for i=0..99). ASV calls timing methods multiple times per `setup()`, so the second call hit UNIQUE constraint violations. Fix: added batch counters (`self._batch_ctr`, `self._single_ctr`) to generate unique IDs across iterations (e.g., `_make_ulid(offset + i)` where `offset = self._batch_ctr * 100`). For `ProjectLinkInsert`, expanded the resource pool from 50 to 5000 to accommodate repeated iterations.
+  5. **`uow_lifecycle_bench.py`**: `TimeUowActionPlanRoundTrip.time_create_action_and_plan_via_uow` failed with FK constraint on plan insert, even after creating and committing the action in a separate session. Root cause: SQLite in-memory `StaticPool` + `autoflush=False` caused the plan's FK check to not see the committed action across session boundaries. Fix: simplified the benchmark to reuse the pre-seeded action (`local/bench-uow-action`) created in `setup()` rather than creating a new action per iteration.
+- **Files changed** (8 files, +87/-45 lines):
+  - `features/steps/project_repository_steps.py` — session factory fix
+  - `benchmarks/cli_format_bench.py` — parameterized setup/teardown signatures + noqa
+  - `benchmarks/plan_model_bench.py` — `APPLIED` → `APPLY`
+  - `benchmarks/plan_lifecycle_persistence_bench.py` — per-iteration plan creation
+  - `benchmarks/plan_phase_migration_bench.py` — batch counters for unique IDs
+  - `benchmarks/project_migration_bench.py` — batch counters for unique IDs
+  - `benchmarks/resource_registry_migration_bench.py` — batch counters for unique IDs
+  - `benchmarks/uow_lifecycle_bench.py` — reuse pre-seeded action
+- **Verification**: All 9 nox sessions pass:
+  - lint: success
+  - format: success
+  - typecheck: success (7s)
+  - security_scan: success (6s)
+  - dead_code: success
+  - unit_tests-3.13: success (3161 scenarios, 13765 steps, 0 failures)
+  - integration_tests-3.13: success (283 tests, 0 failures)
+  - coverage_report: success (97.3%, threshold 97%)
+  - benchmark: success (all benchmarks pass)
+- **Commit**: `122af46` on `feature/q0-min-coverage` — `fix(tests): resolve unit test and benchmark failures`
