What is the default execution timeout limit enforced per test case across our pytest configuration?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |

| Specifies a default timeout limit of 60 seconds per test | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
CI enforces at least 85% line coverage for every package classified Beta or Production/Stable.
Alpha packages are report-only, and the DevUI and experimental Lab packages are excluded from
aggregate coverage enforcement. Tests should be fast, reliable, and maintainable.
When adding new code, check that the relevant sections of the codebase are covered by tests, and add new tests as needed. When modifying existing code, update or add tests to cover the changes.
We run tests in two stages, for a PR each commit is tested with unit tests only (using -m "not integration"), and the full suite including integration tests is run when merging.
When an API is marked as deprecated, migrate ordinary tests to its replacement in the same change. Retain only focused tests that validate the deprecated behavior and warning; integration tests, samples, and unrelated unit tests should use the supported API.
# Run tests for all packages in parallel
uv run poe test
# Run tests for a specific workspace package
uv run poe test -P core
# Run all selected tests in a single pytest invocation
uv run poe test -A
# With coverage
uv run poe test -A -C
uv run poe test -P core -C
# Run only unit tests (exclude integration tests)
uv run poe test -A -m "not integration"
# Run only integration tests
uv run poe test -A -m integration
Direct package execution still works when you need it:
uv run --directory packages/core poe test
test cases passed, vs 8 / 22 without
