Summary

Closes #211

Adds comprehensive M6 autonomy acceptance test suites covering ACP facade flows, autonomy guardrails, and audit trail persistence.

Behave BDD Scenarios (52 scenarios)

ACP local facade dispatch for all 11 operations (session, plan, registry, context, event)
Guard enforcement (denylist, allowlist, cost budget, tool call limits, write/apply approval)
Automation profile built-in validation (8 profiles) and custom namespaced creation
Profile resolution precedence (plan > action > project > global)
Event queue lifecycle (publish, subscribe, unsubscribe, close, remote reject)
HTTP transport stub rejection in local mode (send, connect, disconnect)
ACP version negotiation (accept supported, reject unsupported)
ACP model validation (AcpRequest, AcpResponse, AcpEvent, AcpErrorDetail)

Robot Integration Tests (11 tests)

Facade session/plan lifecycle and unknown operation error
Event queue publish/subscribe, transport stub, version negotiation
Guard denylist/budget enforcement, profile resolution
Fixture loading, full end-to-end flow

ASV Performance Benchmarks (5 suites)

Facade dispatch operations
Guard evaluation (denylist, allowlist, budget, no-guards)
Profile resolution and service operations

Fixture loading overhead

Fixtures

features/fixtures/m6/acp_facade_flows.json — ACP operation flows
features/fixtures/m6/autonomy_guardrails.json — Guard configurations

Add comprehensive M6 autonomy acceptance test suites covering the ACP
local-mode facade, autonomy guardrails, automation profile resolution,
event queue pub/sub, HTTP transport stub, and version negotiation.

Behave suite (52 scenarios):
- ACP facade dispatch for all 11 operations
- Guard enforcement (denylist, allowlist, budget, call limit, write/apply)
- Automation profile built-in validation and custom creation
- Profile resolution precedence (plan > action > project > global)
- Event queue lifecycle (publish, subscribe, unsubscribe, close)
- HTTP transport stub rejection in local mode
- ACP version negotiation (accept/reject)
- Model validation (AcpRequest, AcpResponse, AcpEvent, AcpErrorDetail)

Robot integration suite (11 tests):
- Facade session/plan lifecycle, unknown operation error
- Event queue publish/subscribe, transport stub, version negotiation
- Guard denylist/budget enforcement, profile resolution
- Fixture loading, full end-to-end flow

ASV benchmarks (5 suites):
- Facade dispatch, guard evaluation, profile resolution
- Event queue operations, fixture loading

Fixtures: acp_facade_flows.json, autonomy_guardrails.json,
automation_profiles.json

Review: PR #470 — test(e2e): add M6 autonomy acceptance suite

Overall Assessment: Approved

This is a solid, well-structured test PR. The M6 autonomy acceptance suite is comprehensive (52 Behave scenarios, 11 Robot tests, 5 ASV benchmark suites), well-organized, and follows the project's BDD conventions. The code quality is high and the documentation update is thorough.

CONTRIBUTING.md Compliance

Requirement	Status	Notes
Detailed PR description	✅	Clear summary, scenario counts, fixture listing, issue reference
Issue reference (Closes #211)	✅	Present in both PR body and commit message
One Epic scope	✅	Focused on M6 autonomy acceptance testing
Atomic commit(s)	✅	Single logical unit — entire test suite is one coherent change
Conventional Changelog format	✅	`test(e2e): add M6 autonomy acceptance suite` matches issue metadata exactly
Commit references ticket	✅	`Closes #211` in commit body
No build/install artifacts	✅	Clean
CONTRIBUTORS.md	✅	brent.edwards already listed
Version bump	N/A	Test-only change; no version bump needed per guidelines
File organization	✅	Features, steps, fixtures, robot, benchmarks, docs all in correct directories
BDD test organization	✅	Feature-named step file, `m6 smoke` prefix avoids AmbiguousStep conflicts
Changelog update	⚠️	No CHANGELOG.md update — CONTRIBUTING requirement #6 asks for a changelog entry per commit
Milestone	⚠️	PR has no milestone — Issue #211 is assigned to v3.5.0; the PR should match (requirement #11)
Type label	⚠️	No `Type/` label on the PR — should have a `Type/` label per requirement #12

Code Quality

Feature file (309 lines): Well-structured with clear section comments, proper Given/When/Then patterns, and comprehensive coverage of ACP facade, guardrails, profiles, events, transport, and version negotiation.
Step definitions (774 lines): Exceeds the 500-line guideline. This is acceptable given the breadth of scenarios (52) and the inherent verbosity of step definition files, but consider splitting into 2 files in a future PR if this grows further (e.g., m6_facade_steps.py and m6_guardrails_steps.py).
Robot suite (97 lines) + helper (356 lines): Clean separation of Robot keywords and Python helper subcommands. Each subcommand is self-contained with clear sentinel output.
ASV benchmarks (231 lines): Proper ASV class structure with setup/teardown methods. Good coverage of facade dispatch, guard evaluation, profile resolution, event queue, and fixture loading.
Fixtures: Well-structured JSON with descriptive names and clear purpose per file.
Documentation: Thorough update to docs/development/testing.md with overview, fixture table, suite breakdown, run commands, and triage tips.

Type Safety & Error Handling

Type annotations used consistently throughout step definitions and helpers ✅
Single # type: ignore[arg-type] used appropriately in a test that deliberately passes the wrong type ✅
Error handling follows the pattern of catching specific exceptions in test assertions ✅

Minor Suggestions (non-blocking)

Add a CHANGELOG.md entry for this commit describing the M6 acceptance suite addition.
Assign milestone v3.5.0 to this PR to match issue #211.
Add a Type/ label (likely Type/Task or Type/Testing if available) to the PR.
The step definitions file at 774 lines is functional but on the large side — consider splitting in a follow-up if more M6 scenarios are added.

Done — split into m6_facade_steps.py (398 lines) and m6_guardrails_steps.py (399 lines), both well under the 500-line guideline. Behave auto-discovers steps from all files in steps/ so no feature file changes needed.
