go-cli-testing

Design, implement, stabilize, and review Go CLI tests across fresh command trees, pure logic, table-driven cases, streams, typed configuration, files, environment, function-backed HTTP fakes, repositories, subprocesses, capability profiles, race checks, and artifact behavior. Use when adding command tests, diagnosing flaky Go tests, choosing test boundaries, or verifying human-, agent-, and CI-facing CLI contracts.

# Go CLI Testing

Test observable behavior at the narrowest boundary that proves it. Isolate every
mutable resource and reserve executable tests for process-level semantics.

## Core Workflow

1. Inventory success, invalid, boundary, dependency-failure, and cancellation behavior.
2. Map each case to a pure, command, adapter, integration, or binary test.
3. Inject arguments, streams, configuration, clocks, and effectful dependencies.
4. Isolate files, environment, servers, repositories, ports, and subprocesses.
5. Assert stdout, stderr, exit behavior, and errors according to the public contract.
6. Gate live or platform-specific tests and make their changes reversible.
7. Run standard, race, tagged, and relevant platform checks.
