Frank 5976ad0550 refact(docs): compose-era sweeps retire with the last compose file
rank 7 tail. dankserver/compose.yaml (a parallel inventory whose mounts
had diverged from the quadlets) and its .env.example live in
dankserver/.AGENTTRASH/20261013-compose-retire/; the retired ik chat
template joined scripts/.AGENTTRASH/. No target has a compose file now:
- service-map drops the compose selection rule, compose file claim, and
  check_compose (the check list is schema/units/ownership/config/drift);
- deploy-remote's compose fallback is a loud failure, not a WARN-and-
  nothing for dankserver;
- compose_validity.bats goes to tests/.AGENTTRASH (it was sweeping only
  the trash file); env_consistency sheds its two compose sweeps;
- docs_completeness's compose sweep skips .AGENTTRASH so retired
  services cannot resurrect, and a revived compose stays covered;
- Testing Policy drops the Compose validity row.

Testing Policy

This repository tests its configuration at defined seams. The tests run with bats; run them with ./tests/run.sh before every push.

Seams Under Test

Seam File What it asserts
Env consistency tests/env_consistency.bats every ${VAR} is defined in .env.example; no real secrets; the live gitea password never appears
Caddyfile validity tests/caddyfile.bats per-host Caddyfile, .local convention, balanced braces, basic auth present
Docs completeness tests/docs_completeness.bats every service has a docs page; index links every page; no unresolved vault links
Script syntax tests/scripts_syntax.bats bash -n clean, executable bits, shellcheck when available
Deployment flow tests/deployment_flow.bats, tests/deployment_scoping.bats scoped dispatcher exists, targets are known, service plans isolate inference, Caddy ownership is guarded, and SSH reachability is checked (skips offline)
Quadlet units tests/*quadlet*.bats every unit is boot-persistent, self-healing, repo-provenanced, secret-free
E2E (browser) tests/e2e/ + tests/e2e_scaffold.bats Playwright drives the live guard chain; the bats seam asserts structure and credential hygiene. See E2E Suite

Focused pre-commit testing

For normal commits, use the focused wrapper:

./scripts/test-changed.sh

It reads staged paths with git diff --cached and runs only the mapped Bats files. The tracked .githooks/pre-commit hook invokes this wrapper. Enable the repository hook path once per checkout:

git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Use --list to inspect the selection without running tests, or --paths FILE ... to preview a mapping. Shared test infrastructure and unmapped paths fail closed rather than silently skipping coverage. Run the full suite with ./tests/run.sh when changing shared test helpers, the test runner, or when focused coverage is not sufficient.

Red-Green

Tests are written first. A failing test means the seam is not satisfied; the config change that makes it pass is the only acceptable fix. No --no-verify, no deleting tests without approval.
