+Comprehensive test suite for STORY-011: Configuration Management
+
+This test suite validates the YAML-based feedback system configuration including:
+- YAML parsing and validation
+- Master enable/disable controls
+- Trigger mode determination
+- Conversation settings enforcement
+- Skip tracking statistics
+- Template preferences
+- Error handling and defaults
+- Hot-reload functionality
+- Edge case handling
+
+Test Framework: pytest
+Pattern: AAA (Arrange, Act, Assert)
+Coverage Target: >95% of business logic
+
+Tests are written to FAIL initially (TDD Red phase).
+Implementation should make these tests PASS (TDD Green phase).
