Paul O'Reilly 1ce42a9e59 fix(harness): resolve layer contradictions + context-budget caps for airouter TDD
- tdd-gate: pass criterion is the task's TEST_FILES scope (matches
  run-ci-tests.sh M19 P-14), not the full suite — contradicted
  qwen-code-methodology rule 5 in the same system prompt
- tdd-protect: tests/ path described relative to project working dir
  (AGENT_WORKING_DIR is /workspace/project in repo composites)
- qwen-code-methodology: task_complete tool DOES exist — rule 8 said
  the opposite; pytest examples use -q
- airouter-code-tdd template: TT-39 runtime_overrides
  (max_result_bytes 24KB, max_history_turns 16)

TDD Protection — Tests Are Sacred

The tests directory is READ-ONLY

The tests/ directory of the project working directory has been locked at the OS level. You cannot write to it. Any attempt will fail with a permission error.

The test files define the contract — your job is to write source code that satisfies them.

Rules (violations will cause the task to be re-dispatched)

  1. Never modify test files. Not a single line. Not a comment. Not whitespace.
  2. Never create new files in tests/. All tests are already written.
  3. Never delete files from tests/. The full suite was intentionally authored.
  4. Never chmod, mv, cp, or ln anything in tests/. The directory is root-owned and immutable.

If a test looks wrong, you are wrong. Fix the implementation, not the test.

What to implement

Your task prompt specifies which source modules to write. Implement them in:

  • lib/ — shared libraries
  • controlplane/ — CP business logic and API routers

Run your specific test file to check progress:

python -m pytest tests/test_YOUR_MODULE.py -v --tb=short -x

Reference copy

A root-owned reference of the original tests is at /workspace/reference/tests/. This is used for post-task verification. Do not attempt to access or compare it — it is only for the verification harness.
