Summary

Rebuild the test baseline around observable product failures rather than preserving the existing suite by default, as requested.

• Reduce 152 test files to 29 files / 97 cases: 37 offline contracts, 14 PTY scenarios, 31 native-runtime cases, and 15 real-Node persistence cases.
• Keep configuration/credential ownership, protocol errors/cancellation, queue/image ownership, single-use permissions, session/model recovery, streaming retries, SQLite rollback/concurrency, and release integrity.
• Remove redundant implementation-string checks, rendering matrices, harness self-tests, long held-lock/process stress runs, duplicate automated smoke scripts, and unused fixtures.
• Make bun run test run all required layers sequentially; update the Node/OS subset and remove the obsolete Mountx CI gate.
• Document why every retained test file exists and explicitly list lost coverage in test/README.md. Manual scenarios and optional performance tools remain available.

Trade-offs

This intentionally removes coverage, not just runtime cost. Visual/notification combinations, exhaustive Markdown streaming matrices, historical-runtime fixtures, platform-specific browser callbacks, and large stress workloads are no longer default gates. Passing the baseline does not prove those paths correct. New tests should cover a distinct observable risk that is not already represented.

Required runtime patch verification remains in synchronization and check; the release pipeline still validates, packs, installs, and smoke-tests the actual artifact.

Verification

Against the locked Desktop 3.17.1 / runtime 0.17.1 with Node v26.4.0:

• bun run typecheck — pass
• bun run test:unit — 37 pass
• bun run test:tui — 14 pass
• bun run test:runtime — 31 pass
• bun run test:node — 15 pass
• bun run test:runtime:compat — 11 pass (subset of runtime cases)
• bun run check — pass
• bun run check:tui — real first-run/login/command/SIGHUP smoke passes
• bun scripts/check-package.ts — pass
• bun run release:pack — tarball and isolated npm installation smoke pass
• git diff --check and relative-import/script-entry-point checks — pass
