+Comprehensive test suite for Skip Pattern Tracking (STORY-009)
+
+Tests cover:
+- AC1: Skip Counter Tracks Operations (per operation type, persistent across sessions)
+- AC2: Pattern Detection at 3+ Consecutive Skips (triggers once per session)
+- AC3: Preference Storage and Enforcement (disabled feedback types stored in YAML)
+- AC4: Skip Counter Reset on Preference Change (reset to 0 when re-enabled)
+- AC5: Token Waste Calculation (1500 tokens per prompt × skip count)
+- AC6: Multi-Operation-Type Tracking (independent counters per type)
+
+Edge cases:
+- User skips on first attempt (counter=1, no pattern)
+- Non-consecutive skips reset counter (breaks sequence)
+- Missing config file (auto-created)
+- Manual config edit inconsistency (disabled_feedback enforced)
+- Corrupted config file (backup + fresh)
+- Cross-session persistence (Session 1: 2 skips, Session 2: 1 skip = 3 total)
+
+Test structure:
+- 25+ Unit Tests: counter logic, pattern detection, config parsing, validation
+- 10+ Integration Tests: skip → pattern → preference → enforcement chain
+- 8+ E2E Tests: full workflows from first skip to re-enable
