Branch: test/coverage-boost-scenario-outlines
Commit Message: test(coverage_boost): refactor coverage_boost.feature to use declarative Scenario Outlines
Milestone: v3.8.0
Parent Epic: #1678

Description

The scenarios in features/coverage_boost.feature are written in a very high-level, imperative style (e.g., "Test X", "Ensure Y"). This makes it difficult to understand what is actually being tested and what data is being used.

Recommendation:

Rewrite the scenarios to be more declarative and example-driven. Use concrete examples to illustrate the behavior being tested. This will improve the clarity and maintainability of the tests.

Example (before):

Scenario: Test convert_exit_code function
  When I test convert_exit_code with various inputs
  Then convert_exit_code should handle all types correctly

Example (after):

Scenario Outline: Convert exit code
  Given an exit code <input>
  When the exit code is converted
  Then the result should be <output>

  Examples:
    | input | output |
    | 0     | 0      |
    | 1     | 1      |
    | -1    | 255    |
    | 256   | 0      |

Subtasks

Audit features/coverage_boost.feature for all imperative/high-level scenarios lacking concrete data
Refactor affected scenarios into declarative Scenario Outline blocks with Examples tables
Update step definitions in features/steps/ to accept outline parameters where needed
Verify no duplication remains across scenarios that can be collapsed into a single outline
Run nox -e unit_tests to confirm all scenarios pass with the new outline structure
Run nox -e coverage_report to confirm coverage remains >= 97%

Definition of Done

All imperative "Test X" / "Ensure Y" style scenarios in coverage_boost.feature are replaced with declarative, example-driven Scenario Outline blocks
Examples tables provide concrete, meaningful input/output values that document the expected behaviour
Step definitions correctly handle parameterised outline values
No scenario duplication remains that could be expressed as a single outline
All nox stages pass
Coverage >= 97%
