3. ✅ Add CLI `pack test` command
4. ✅ Test end-to-end workflow
5. ✅ Add API endpoints for test execution and history
6. ✅ Store test results in database

---

## 📋 Work Completed

### 1. Worker Test Executor Implementation

**File**: `crates/worker/src/test_executor.rs` (489 lines)

Created a comprehensive test executor module with:

- **TestExecutor struct**: Core executor for running pack tests
- **Configuration parsing**: Reads test config from pack.yaml
- **Multi-runtime support**: 
  - Shell scripts (`script` type)
  - Python unittest (`unittest` type)
  - Pytest (`pytest` type - ready for future)
- **Test suite execution**: Runs each runner type independently
- **Command execution**: Async command execution with timeout support
- **Result aggregation**: Combines results from multiple test suites

**Key Features**:
- Timeout handling (configurable per runner)
- Working directory management (runs tests from pack directory)
- Exit code detection
- Stdout/stderr capture
- Duration tracking

### 2. Simple Output Parser

**Implementation**: Part of `test_executor.rs`

Implemented `parse_simple_output()` method that:
- Extracts test counts from output text
- Parses patterns: "Total Tests:", "Passed:", "Failed:", "Skipped:"
- Falls back to exit code if parsing fails
- Creates structured `TestSuiteResult` with test cases
- Handles both success and failure scenarios

**Test Coverage**:
- Unit tests for number extraction
- Unit tests for output parsing
- Unit tests for failure scenarios

### 3. CLI Pack Test Command

**Files Modified**:
- `crates/cli/src/commands/pack.rs`
- `crates/cli/Cargo.toml` (added worker dependency)
- `crates/worker/src/lib.rs` (exported test executor)

**Command Syntax**:
```bash
attune pack test <pack>              # Test a pack
attune pack test <pack> --verbose    # Show verbose output
attune pack test <pack> --detailed   # Show detailed test results
attune pack test <pack> --output json  # JSON output
attune pack test <pack> --output yaml  # YAML output
```

**Features**:
- Supports both local pack directories and installed packs
- Loads and parses pack.yaml configuration
- Validates testing is enabled
- Executes test executor
- Multiple output formats (table, JSON, YAML)
- Colored output with emoji indicators
- Exit code handling (fails if tests fail)
- Verbose mode shows individual test cases
- Detailed mode shows stdout/stderr (truncated)

### 4. End-to-End Testing

**Test Execution**:
```bash
./target/debug/attune pack test packs/core
```

**Results**:
- ✅ Shell tests: 36/36 passed (12.3s)
- ✅ Python tests: 38 tests, 36 passed, 2 skipped (13.0s)
- ✅ Total: 2/2 test suites passed (100% pass rate)
- ✅ Total duration: ~26 seconds

**Output Formats Tested**:
- ✅ Table format (default, colored)
- ✅ JSON format (structured data)
- ✅ YAML format
- ✅ Verbose mode (shows test case details)
- ✅ Detailed mode (shows stdout/stderr)

## 🔧 Technical Implementation Details

### Test Executor Architecture

```rust
TestExecutor
  ├── execute_pack_tests()       // Main entry point
  │   ├── Load pack configuration
  │   ├── Validate pack directory
  │   └── For each runner:
  │       └── execute_test_suite()
  │           ├── Resolve entry point
  │           ├── Build command
  │           ├── run_command()
  │           │   ├── Spawn process
  │           │   ├── Wait with timeout
  │           │   └── Capture output
  │           └── parse_simple_output()
  │               ├── Extract counts
  │               └── Build TestSuiteResult
  └── Aggregate results
```

### Data Flow

```
pack.yaml (testing config)
    ↓
TestConfig (parsed)
    ↓
TestExecutor.execute_pack_tests()
    ↓
Multiple TestSuiteResult
    ↓
PackTestResult (aggregated)
    ↓
CLI display / JSON output
```

### Working Directory Fix

**Issue**: Initial implementation used full paths from wrong working directory
**Solution**: 
- Set working directory to pack directory
- Use relative paths for entry points
- Strip prefix from full paths

**Before**: `/bin/bash packs/core/tests/run_tests.sh` (from attune dir)
**After**: `/bin/bash tests/run_tests.sh` (from packs/core dir)

## 🎓 Key Learnings

1. **Error Handling**: The `Error::NotFound` variant is a struct, not a tuple. Must use `Error::not_found()` helper.

2. **Working Directory**: Commands must be executed from the correct working directory. Use relative paths from that directory.

3. **Async Process Execution**: Tokio's `Command` API provides clean async subprocess execution with timeout support.

4. **Test Output Parsing**: Simple line-by-line parsing is sufficient for basic test runners. More complex parsers (JUnit, TAP) can be added later.

5. **CLI Output Formats**: Supporting multiple output formats (table, JSON, YAML) makes the tool scriptable and human-friendly.

### 4. **API Endpoints Implementation**

**Files**: `crates/api/src/routes/packs.rs`, `crates/api/Cargo.toml`

Successfully added three new REST API endpoints:

1. **POST `/api/v1/packs/{ref}/test`**
   - Executes all tests for a pack
   - Loads pack.yaml configuration
   - Runs test executor
   - Stores results in database
   - Returns structured test results

2. **GET `/api/v1/packs/{ref}/tests`**
   - Retrieves paginated test history
   - Ordered by execution time (newest first)
   - Supports pagination (page, limit)

3. **GET `/api/v1/packs/{ref}/tests/latest`**
   - Returns most recent test execution
   - Useful for monitoring and dashboards

**Features**:
- Authentication required (Bearer token)
- OpenAPI/Swagger documentation
- Test results stored with `trigger_reason: "manual"`
- Full error handling
- Database integration via PackTestRepository

### 5. **Documentation**
