| 315 | +- **Clear documentation** - TEST_README.md for onboarding |
| 316 | +- **Easy setup** - Just set 2-3 environment variables |
| 317 | + |
| 318 | +--- |
| 319 | + |
| 320 | +## 🎓 TDD Principles Applied |
| 321 | + |
| 322 | +✅ **Tests First** - Written before/alongside implementation |
| 323 | +✅ **Red-Green-Refactor** - Fail → Pass → Improve cycle |
| 324 | +✅ **Isolation** - Unit tests don't depend on external services |
| 325 | +✅ **Integration** - API tests use real Beeper Desktop |
| 326 | +✅ **Coverage** - >80% coverage target for core modules |
| 327 | +✅ **Assertions** - testify/assert for clean, readable tests |
| 328 | + |
| 329 | +--- |
| 330 | + |

| 338 | + |
| 339 | +### Output Formatter |
| 340 | +- Simplified error handling (return string, not string+error) |
| 341 | +- Added empty list detection |
| 342 | +- Format fallback (defaults to JSON) |
| 343 | +- Fixed timestamp rendering |
| 344 | + |
