+</html>
+```
+
+**See:** `test-reporter.js` — converts JSON to HTML report
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+### Create a New Test Category
+
+Open `app/tests/test-agent-v3.html` and add to the `defineTests()` method:
+
+```javascript
+// In the defineTests() method of TestAgent class:
+
+this.addCategory('My New Category', [
+  {
+    name: 'My first test',
+    fn: () => this.clickInApp('#my-button')
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'My second test',
+    fn: () => this.checkElementExists('#my-panel')
+  },
+  {
+    name: 'My keyboard test',
+    fn: () => this.testKeyboard('shift+s')
+  }
+]);
+```
+
+### Available Test Methods
+
+| Method | What It Does | Example |
+|--------|--------------|---------|
+| `clickInApp(selector)` | Click an element in the app | `this.clickInApp('#extrude-btn')` |
+| `checkElementExists(selector)` | Verify element exists | `this.checkElementExists('#tree-panel')` |
+| `testKeyboard(key)` | Send keyboard event | `this.testKeyboard('escape')` |
+| `checkOperationExists(name)` | Check function in window | `this.checkOperationExists('extrude')` |
+| `checkAgentAPI()` | Verify Agent API loaded | `this.checkAgentAPI()` |
+| `toggleWireframe()` | Toggle wireframe display | `this.toggleWireframe()` |
+| `toggleGrid()` | Toggle grid display | `this.toggleGrid()` |
+
+All methods return Promises. Use async/await or `.then()` for chaining.
+
+### Test Naming Conventions
+
+**DO:**
+- Use action verbs: "Click", "Toggle", "Open", "Select", "Verify"
+- Be specific: "Extrude button visible" not "Button works"
+- Include context: "Sketch line tool" not "Line tool"
+
+**DON'T:**
+- Use vague names: "Test works"
+- Combine multiple assertions: "Button clicks and panel opens"
+- Use technical jargon: "QuerySelector executes"
+
+### Test Isolation
+
+Each test should be independent:
+- Don't rely on previous test state
+- Reset UI state at end of test if needed
+- Use timeout delays to let UI settle between actions
+
+```javascript
+{
+  name: 'Pattern operation creates array',
+  fn: async () => {
+    // Set up
+    await this.clickInApp('#extrude-btn');
+
+    // Test action
+    await this.clickInApp('#pattern-btn');
+
+    // Verify
+    await this.checkElementExists('#pattern-panel');
+
+    // Cleanup (close panel)
+    await this.testKeyboard('escape');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Test Coverage Tracking
+
+### Coverage by Component
+
+| Component | Coverage | Gap |
+|-----------|----------|-----|
+| Workspace tabs | 8/8 (100%) | None |
+| View toolbar | 10/10 (100%) | None |
+| Sketch tools | 8/8 (100%) | None |
+| 3D operations | 15/18 (83%) | Thread, spring, loft |
+| Panels | 10/12 (83%) | Animation timeline, custom workspaces |
+| Keyboard shortcuts | 15/18 (83%) | View key combos, custom shortcuts |
+| Agent API | 8/10 (80%) | Assembly constraints, advanced features |
+| Error handling | 10/12 (83%) | WebGL extensions, Shader errors |
+
+**Target:** 95%+ coverage on core features, 80%+ on advanced features
+
+### Adding Coverage for Gaps
+
+If a feature is missing tests, add them:
+
+```javascript
+this.addCategory('Thread Generator (NEW)', [
+  { name: 'Thread tool accessible', fn: () => this.checkElementExists('#thread-btn') },
+  { name: 'Thread dialog opens', fn: () => this.clickInApp('#thread-btn') },
+  { name: 'Thread parameters apply', fn: () => this.testThreadCreation() },
+  { name: 'Thread generates geometry', fn: () => this.checkThreadMesh() }
+]);
+```
+
+Then verify coverage report shows 100% for that component.
+
+## Debugging Failed Tests
+
+### Common Failures
+
+| Failure | Cause | Fix |
+|---------|-------|-----|
+| "Element not found: #my-btn" | Button ID is wrong or missing | Check app HTML for correct ID |
+| Test hangs (timeout after 5s) | App didn't load or froze | Reload app, check console for JS errors |
+| Flash overlay doesn't appear | Element outside viewport | Scroll panel first, then test |
+| Keyboard test doesn't work | Event not reaching app | Check event bubbles: true |
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+Open test agent in Chrome DevTools:
+
+1. Open `app/tests/test-agent-v3.html`
+2. Open DevTools (F12)
+3. In DevTools, switch to **iframe** console (dropdown top-left of console)
+4. Run manual tests:
+   ```javascript
+   // In iframe console:
+   window.cycleCAD.execute({ method: 'shape.cylinder', params: { radius: 50 } })
+   document.querySelector('#extrude-btn').click()
+   ```
+
+### Visual Debugging
+
+- **Green flash** indicates element was found and clicked
+- **No flash** = element not found or not visible
+- **Test stalls** = UI didn't respond or is loading
+
+To debug a stuck test:
+1. Pause the test runner (refresh page)
+2. Manually reproduce the test steps in the app
+3. Check app console for errors: `Cmd+Option+J` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+J` (Windows/Linux)
+
+## Test Maintenance
+
+### Updating Tests After UI Changes
+
+If you change button IDs, panel names, or keyboard shortcuts:
+
+1. Update `app/tests/test-agent-v3.html` with new selectors
+2. Run full test suite to find broken tests
+3. Fix selector strings to match new UI
+4. Commit updated test file with UI changes
+
+Example: If you rename `#extrude-btn` to `#op-extrude`:
+```javascript
+// OLD:
+{ name: 'Extrude button visible', fn: () => this.checkElementExists('#extrude-btn') }
+
+// NEW:
+{ name: 'Extrude button visible', fn: () => this.checkElementExists('#op-extrude') }
+```
+
+### Removing Obsolete Tests
+
+If a feature is deleted, remove its tests:
+
+```javascript
+// Remove this entire block if "Legacy Tool" is removed:
+this.addCategory('Legacy Tool', [
+  { name: 'Legacy tool visible', fn: () => ... },
+  { name: 'Legacy tool works', fn: () => ... }
+]);
+```
+
+### Performance Benchmarking
+
+Test agent tracks timing for each test:
+
+```javascript
+// In export results:
+"results": [
+  { "test": "Click button", "status": "pass", "info": "42ms" },
+  { "test": "Open panel", "status": "pass", "info": "156ms" },
+  { "test": "Execute operation", "status": "pass", "info": "789ms" }
+]
+```
+
+**Performance targets:**
+- UI clicks: <200ms
+- Panel opens: <500ms
+- Operations: <2000ms
+
+If a test takes >2x longer than expected, investigate:
+- Is the app loading geometry?
+- Is there a console error?
+- Did a dependency change?
+
+## Test Categories Reference
+

+
+## Continuous Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Workflow
+
+Create `.github/workflows/test.yml`:
+
+```yaml
+name: Test Suite
+on:
+  push:
+    branches: [ main, develop ]
+  pull_request:
+    branches: [ main ]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        node-version: [16.x, 18.x]
+
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
+      uses: actions/setup-node@v3
+      with:
+        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
+
+    - name: Install dependencies
+      run: npm ci
+
+    - name: Run test agent
+      run: node test-runner.js app/tests/test-agent-v3.html --output test-results.json
+
+    - name: Generate report
+      run: node test-reporter.js test-results.json --output test-report.html
+
+    - name: Upload results
+      if: always()
+      uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
+      with:
+        name: test-results-${{ matrix.node-version }}
+        path: test-report.html
+
+    - name: Fail if tests failed
+      if: failure()
+      run: exit 1
+```
+
+### Test Result Dashboard
+
+Optional: Generate a dashboard showing test trends over time:
+
+```javascript
+// test-dashboard.js — reads test-results.json, plots pass rate over time
+const fs = require('fs');
+const results = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync('test-results.json'));
+const passRate = (results.summary.passed / results.summary.total * 100).toFixed(1);
+console.log(`Pass Rate: ${passRate}%`);
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Test Agent Won't Start
+
+**Symptom:** App loads but tests don't run
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check console (F12) for JS errors
+2. Verify app loaded in iframe (left side should show app)
+3. Click "Run All Tests" button (if grayed out, try refresh)
+4. Check browser console for errors in test-agent-v3.html itself
+
+### Tests Hang/Timeout
+
+**Symptom:** Test stops and never completes
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Open app console (F12, switch to iframe)
+2. Look for errors: `Cmd+Option+J` (Mac) or `Ctrl+Shift+J` (Windows)
+3. Reload test agent: `Cmd+R` or `Ctrl+R`
+4. Check if app is fully loaded (all buttons visible)
+5. If still hangs, check if 3D scene crashed (black canvas)
+
+### Elements Not Found
+
+**Symptom:** Multiple "Element not found" failures
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Open app console and check for JS errors
+2. Verify button IDs match selectors in test-agent HTML
+3. Check if elements are hidden/display:none
+4. Scroll right panel to ensure buttons are visible
+
+### False Positives (Passing Broken Tests)
+
+**Symptom:** Test passes but feature doesn't work
+
+**Solution:**
+- Add assertions that actually verify behavior, not just element existence
+- Example: Don't just click button, verify panel appears and has content
+- Add timing delays to let UI settle before checking results
+
+```javascript
+// WEAK: Just checks element exists
+{ name: 'Extrude works', fn: () => this.checkElementExists('#extrude-btn') }
+
+// STRONG: Verifies action took effect
+{
+  name: 'Extrude creates feature',
+  fn: async () => {
+    await this.clickInApp('#extrude-btn');
+    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 300)); // Let dialog open
+    const dialog = this.appFrame.contentDocument?.querySelector('#extrude-dialog');
+    if (!dialog) throw new Error('Dialog did not open');
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Summary
+
+The cycleCAD test agent v3 provides:
+- **200+ automated tests** covering all major UI features and workflows
+- **Visual feedback** with live highlighting and progress tracking
+- **Quick test runs** in 60-90 seconds
+- **Export results** as JSON for CI/CD integration
+- **Easy to extend** by adding new test categories and methods
+- **Maintenance-friendly** with clear naming and structure
+
+Use the test agent to catch regressions early, verify new features work correctly, and maintain confidence in the codebase as it evolves.
