+## Testing Workstream Guide (for Agents)
+
+This section captures practical instructions and conventions for evolving Flock's tests. Use it to quickly onboard and to execute the release Must‑Haves.
+
+- Commands
+  - Install dev: `uv sync --dev --all-groups`
+  - Quick suite (CI‑equivalent): `uv run poe test`
+  - Full/nightly: `uv run poe test-all`
+  - Select markers: `uv run pytest -m 'p0 or (integration and not otel)'`
+  - Lint: `uv run ruff check src/flock/* tests/*`
+
+- Markers and defaults
+  - p0: fast, deterministic, CI‑blocking
+  - integration: cross‑module flows (no network); default quick run includes them
+  - otel: telemetry span tests (opt‑in)
+  - temporal, mcp, web, perf: opt‑in categories for extended coverage
+  - tests disable auto telemetry setup by default via `FLOCK_DISABLE_TELEMETRY_AUTOSETUP=1` (see tests/conftest.py)
+
+- Patterns
+  - Use `tests/_helpers/fakes.py` for deterministic components.
+  - Registry is auto‑cleared per test via `registry_clear` fixture.
+  - For discovery tests, write temp packages in `tmp_path`, push to `sys.path` inside test, and remove in `finally`.
+  - For server registry tests, a minimal stub with `.config.name` is sufficient to validate registry paths.
+  - Lazy imports: core uses lazy `__getattr__` to avoid importing heavy deps (datasets/pyarrow) during collection.
+
+- Coverage gates
+  - Quick suite targets core modules with a configurable threshold (currently 70%).
+  - Raise incrementally (80–85%) by adding targeted tests in weak areas (orchestration, decorators, serialization_utils).
+
+### Linting Routine (Before Every Commit)
+
+- Run: `uv run ruff check src/flock/* tests/*`.
+- Fix reported issues (imports/order, docstrings, unused imports, small style nits).
+- If a rule requires a larger refactor, prefer a minimal, safe change with a clear `# noqa:` comment and a follow‑up TODO.
+- Never commit with SyntaxError or import errors — keep the tree runnable.
+
+### Commit Discipline (Follow This Cadence)
+
+- Small, atomic commits: one logical change per commit (e.g., a new test file, a specific fix, or a CI tweak).
+- Always run the quick suite locally before committing: `uv run poe test`.
+- Keep commits green: tests pass and coverage gate holds.
+- Prefer multiple small commits over one large “kitchen sink” change.
+- Use clear commit messages (prefix with `test:`, `ci:`, `fix:`, `docs:` as appropriate).
+- Avoid committing noisy changes (formatting only) unless included in the same logical change.
+
+- Serialization contracts (snapshots)
+  - `FlockAgent.to_dict`: simple and router+evaluator variants should be snapshotted to catch drift.
+  - `Flock.to_dict`: minimal shape and multi‑agent shape; allow optional components catalog in minimal cases.
+
+### Release Must‑Haves (v0.5.0)
+
+Implement these to finalize the test framework for 0.5.0:
+
+1. Coverage to 80–85% (core)
+   - Add error‑path tests for orchestration (`_format_result`; exception path → error dict vs Box)
+   - Expand weak modules: `orchestration/*`, `registry/decorators.py` (invalid inputs), `serialization_utils` dynamic import fallbacks.
+
+2. CI
+   - GitHub Actions: Linux+macOS; Python 3.10/3.11/3.12.
+   - PR: `uv run poe test` with coverage gate; Nightly: `uv run poe test-all` including optional markers.
+   - Upload coverage; optional Codecov.
+
+3. Packaging sanity
+   - `uv build`; import sanity on built wheel: `python -c "import flock; import flock.core"`.
+
+4. Snapshots
+   - Golden snapshots for `FlockAgent.to_dict` (variants) and `Flock.to_dict` (2 agents + router).
+
+5. Discovery
+   - Tests for skip private modules and robust behavior on import errors (no crash; log warning).
+
+6. Docs
+   - Keep `testing_strategy.md`, `testing_guide.md`, `testing_todo.md` up to date and linked in CONTRIBUTING/README.
+
+### Strongly Recommended
+
+- Temporal test (marker `temporal`) with in‑process worker; skip when unavailable.
+- MCP test (marker `mcp`) with a stub server and tool roundtrip.
+- `FLOCK_OTEL_TEST=1` shim to emit run spans without external exporters and allow default‑suite span checks.
+- Thread‑safety smoke for `RegistryHub` across threads.
+- Fuzz/property tests for `splitter.parse_schema` and `serialization_utils.deserialize_item`.
+
+### Quick How‑To for Must‑Haves
+
+- Orchestration error‑paths
+  - Add tests under `tests/p0/` that force exceptions inside `run_async` and assert `_format_result` returns Box/dict as configured.
+
+- Snapshots
+  - Add tests under `tests/p0/` with stable assertions against `to_dict` structure. Avoid over‑specifying optional keys to prevent flakiness.
+
+- Discovery
+  - Create tmp packages with modules `_hidden.py` and assert they are skipped by registration. Insert logging assertions only if stable.
+
+- CI
+  - Add `.github/workflows/ci.yml` with jobs as described; ensure uv caching and matrix. Keep quick job fast; nightly may include optional markers.
+
+These patterns have been validated in the current suite and should keep tests deterministic, fast, and contributor‑friendly.
+

 ## 🔭 Testing and Reliability:
 Flock aims to provide an easy and reliable way to implement agentic applications. Therefore, well tested code is crucial.
 
-- Test your changes thoroughly! Ensure that existing tests pass and add **new tests** for any new functionality.
-- Follow Flock's testing conventions and use the provided testing framework.
-- Run the tests before submitting your pull request to confirm that nothing is broken.
-- Tests can be run locally with `pytest -q`
-- Place new tests in `tests/` mirroring the package path.
+Start here:
+- Strategy: see `testing_strategy.md` for priorities and coverage goals.
+- How-to: see `testing_guide.md` for setup, patterns, and examples.
+
+Run tests with uv (recommended):
+- Quick suite (CI-equivalent): `uv run poe test`
+- Full/nightly: `uv run poe test-all`
+- Select markers: `uv run pytest -m 'p0 or integration'`
+
+Guidelines:
+- Ensure existing tests pass and add **new tests** for new or changed functionality.
+- Prefer deterministic, isolated tests using fixtures in `tests/conftest.py` and helpers in `tests/_helpers`.
+- Place tests under `tests/` by concern (see strategy structure).
 - Use [`pytest`](https://docs.pytest.org/en/stable/) fixtures instead of duplicating setup code.
-- For Temporal code, rely on the *Temporal Test Server* fixture.

+# Testing Framework Overhaul for v0.5.0-beta
+
+This PR rebuilds Flock’s testing stack to be fast, deterministic, and contributor‑friendly, while raising core coverage and adding CI.
+
+## Summary
+- Replace legacy tests with a new, structured suite:
+  - P0 (must‑have) and Integration tests, optional markers: `otel`, `temporal`, `mcp`, `web`, `perf`.
+  - Deterministic fakes (`FakeEvaluator`, `FakeRouter`, `HookRecorder`) in `tests/_helpers`.
+  - Registry isolation via autouse fixture.
+- Core coverage ≥ 80% in the quick suite, focused on runtime modules:
+  - `flock.core.flock`, `flock.core.flock_agent`, `flock.core.registry/*`, `flock.core.context/*`, `flock.core.orchestration.flock_execution`.
+  - New tests cover orchestration error paths, run variants, serialization (agents + callables + tools), context introspection, registry (types/config/server/decorators/callables), YAML smoke, and discovery (nested, no private modules).
+- Telemetry: safe by default
+  - Tests disable auto setup via `FLOCK_DISABLE_TELEMETRY_AUTOSETUP=1`.
+  - Added an `otel` marker for optional span tests.
+  - Avoid user/provider override; respect existing tracer provider.
+- Import side‑effect hardening
+  - Guard HuggingFace `datasets` import to avoid pyarrow extension conflicts during tests.
+  - Remove orchestration package side‑effect imports (lazy submodule imports).
+- CI (GitHub Actions)
+  - Quick job: Linux + macOS, Python 3.10/3.11/3.12, runs P0 + integration with an 80% core coverage gate.
+  - Lint job: ruff check for src and tests.
+  - Package job: build wheel/sdist; import sanity on source + installed wheel.
+  - Nightly job (manual/scheduled): runs with optional markers (otel/perf); best‑effort.
+- Contributor docs
+  - `testing_strategy.md`, `testing_guide.md`, `testing_todo.md` updated.
+  - `AGENT.md` adds a “Testing Workstream Guide” and release Must‑Haves.
+
+## Notable Tests Added
+- Orchestration errors → error dict/Box; run variants (default start, unknown agent, agents param, instance, Box)
+- Agent serialization with callables/tools (to_dict names + from_dict resolution)
+- Context: last agent, state vars, history, most recent value
+- Registry: dynamic import by path and exact‑name, decorators happy path + error path, config mapping, server registry
+- Snapshots: single‑agent and two‑agent (router + evaluator), Flock.to_yaml smoke
+- Discovery: nested module registration
+
+## Why this approach
+- Fast, deterministic local/CI runs enable confident iteration.
+- Scoped coverage gate ensures the most critical runtime surfaces are enforced without penalizing less relevant modules (UI/integrations) in the quick loop.
+- Optional markers keep extended and integration‑heavy coverage available without slowing PRs.
+
+## Follow‑ups (Release Must‑Haves → v0.5.0)
+- Keep coverage ≥ 80% on core; consider nudging to 85% with a few more orchestration/registry tests.
+- CI nightly: enable temporal/mcp tests when infra/credentials are available.
+- Optional: `FLOCK_OTEL_TEST=1` shim to allow span assertions in default runs without external exporters.
+
+## Developer Experience
+- Run quick suite: `uv run poe test`
+- Full/nightly: `uv run poe test-all`
+- Select markers: `uv run pytest -m 'p0 or (integration and not otel)'`
+
+This PR establishes a robust testing foundation for the v0.5.0 line, with CI and docs to keep it maintainable.
