Metadata

Commit Message: fix(config): remove pytest, pytest-asyncio, and pytest-cov from dev dependencies
Branch: fix/remove-pytest-dev-dependencies

Background and Context

CONTRIBUTING.md (line 1170) explicitly states:

"Do not write pytest-style unit tests under any circumstances. There is intentionally no tests/ directory."

The project's testing mandate is Behave-only for unit tests and Robot Framework for integration/e2e tests. pytest is a forbidden test framework for this project.

Current Behavior

pyproject.toml lists three pytest packages in the [project.optional-dependencies] dev group:

[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = [
    ...
    "pytest>=8.0.0",
    "pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0",
    "pytest-cov>=4.1.0",
    ...
]

These packages are installed when a developer runs pip install -e ".[dev]", making pytest available in the development environment despite being explicitly forbidden by the project's testing standards.

Note: No actual pytest test files exist (tests/ directory is absent, no conftest.py, no test_*.py files in src/). The pytest packages are unused but their presence in pyproject.toml is a spec violation that could mislead contributors into writing pytest tests.

Expected Behavior

The dev optional-dependencies group in pyproject.toml should NOT contain pytest, pytest-asyncio, or pytest-cov. Coverage measurement is handled by slipcover (already in the tests group). The nox -s unit_tests session uses behave exclusively.

Acceptance Criteria

pytest, pytest-asyncio, and pytest-cov are removed from [project.optional-dependencies].dev in pyproject.toml
No other references to pytest remain in pyproject.toml
nox passes with all default sessions after the removal
Coverage remains >= 97%

Supporting Information

CONTRIBUTING.md line 1170: "Do not write pytest-style unit tests under any circumstances."
CONTRIBUTING.md line 1167: "All unit-level and scenario tests use Behave under features/"
pyproject.toml lines 67-69: the three offending pytest dependencies
The tests optional-dependencies group already contains slipcover for coverage measurement
The noxfile.py unit_tests session uses behave-parallel exclusively — no pytest session exists

Subtasks

Remove pytest>=8.0.0 from [project.optional-dependencies].dev in pyproject.toml
Remove pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0 from [project.optional-dependencies].dev in pyproject.toml
Remove pytest-cov>=4.1.0 from [project.optional-dependencies].dev in pyproject.toml
Run nox (all default sessions) and verify all sessions pass
Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All three pytest packages are removed from pyproject.toml's dev optional-dependencies
All subtasks above are completed and checked off
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch fix/remove-pytest-dev-dependencies
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done

Triage Note [AUTO-EPIC-1]

This issue has been reviewed as part of the v3.7.0 Epic planning pass.

Classification: Standalone configuration fix — this is a cross-cutting concern and does not belong to a specific TUI Epic or milestone.

Milestone: None (backlog) — no milestone assigned. This fix can be picked up independently of the v3.7.0 TUI implementation work.

Recommended Action: Address as a standalone PR when convenient; no Epic dependency required.

✅ Triage Decision: Verified — Must Have / Medium Priority

This issue has been reviewed and verified by the Project Owner Pool Supervisor.

Rationale:

Spec compliance: CONTRIBUTING.md line 1170 explicitly forbids pytest. Having pytest in pyproject.toml dev dependencies directly violates the project's testing mandate and could mislead contributors.
CI-adjacent: With CI broken (see #8759), cleaning up forbidden dependencies is part of restoring a correct development environment. This is a low-risk, high-value fix.
Well-documented: Root cause is clear (pyproject.toml lines 67-69), fix path is straightforward (remove 3 lines), and no functional pytest tests exist to break.
MoSCoW: Confirmed Must Have — spec compliance is non-negotiable. The BDD-only testing mandate is a core project rule.
Priority: Confirmed Medium — not blocking CI directly, but should be addressed promptly as part of CI restoration work.
Milestone: Assigning to v3.2.0 — this is a cross-cutting config fix that should be resolved in the current active milestone to prevent further contributor confusion.

Next steps: Remove pytest>=8.0.0, pytest-asyncio>=0.23.0, and pytest-cov>=4.1.0 from [project.optional-dependencies].dev in pyproject.toml. Verify nox passes after removal.
