-# AudioSort Test Suite
-
-Comprehensive test suite for AudioSort application using real WAV files with embedded metadata.
-
-## Running Tests
-
-### Run all tests
-```powershell
-npm test
-```
-
-### Run specific test suites
-```powershell
-# Tag Service tests (metadata read/write)
-npm run test:tag
-
-# Library Service tests (scanning, organizing, file operations)
-npm run test:library
-
-# Search Service tests (fuzzy search, filters)
-node --import tsx --test src/test/SearchService.test.ts
-```
-
-### Run individual test files
-```powershell
-node --import tsx --test src/test/DatabaseService.test.ts
-node --import tsx --test src/test/TagService.test.ts
-node --import tsx --test src/test/LibraryService.test.ts
-node --import tsx --test src/test/SearchService.test.ts
-```
-
-## Test Coverage
-
-### DatabaseService Tests (20+ tests)
-- **File Management**: upsertFile, listFiles, getFileById, updateFileLocation, deleteFile
-- **Tagging Operations**: updateTagging, updateCustomName
-- **Category Management**: upsertCategory, getCategoryById, listCategories
-- **Duplicate Detection**: listDuplicateGroups by checksum
-- **Settings Persistence**: setSetting, getSettings
-- Edge cases: Missing files, null values, duplicate checksums
-
-### TagService Tests (14 tests)
-- **readMetadata**: Reading author, copyright, title, rating from WAV files
-- **writeMetadataOnly**: Writing metadata to WAV INFO chunks
-- **applyTagging**: Updating tags/categories in database and WAV files
-- Edge cases: Missing metadata, corrupted files, empty values, normalization
-
-### LibraryService Tests (20+ tests)
-- **scanLibrary**: File discovery, metadata extraction, temp file cleanup
-- **listFiles**: File listing with metadata
-- **renameFile**: File renaming on disk and in database
-- **moveFile**: Moving files between directories
-- **updateCustomName**: Custom name management
-- **updateFileMetadata**: Metadata updates without organizing
-- **readFileMetadata**: Reading embedded WAV metadata
-- **listMetadataSuggestions**: Aggregating author/copyright suggestions
-- **deleteFiles**: File deletion from disk and database
-- **cleanupTempFiles**: Orphaned temp file recovery
-
-### SearchService Tests (13 tests)
-- **search**: Fuzzy search by filename, tags, path
-- **Advanced filters**: author:, copyright: field-specific searches
-- **Metadata caching**: Performance optimization
-- **rebuildIndex**: Index updates after database changes
-- Edge cases: Empty queries, typos, no matches
-
-## Test Data
-
-Tests use the `TestWavGenerator` class to create real WAV files with:
-- Configurable duration, sample rate, bit depth
-- Embedded metadata (author, copyright, title, rating)
-- Tags and UCS categories
-- Sine wave audio data (440 Hz)
-
-Example test file creation:
-```typescript
-await TestWavGenerator.writeTestWav('test.wav', {
-  duration: 1,
-  sampleRate: 44100,
-  bitDepth: 16,
-  author: 'Test Author',
-  copyright: 'Test Copyright',
-  title: 'Test Title',
-  rating: 3,
-  tags: ['test', 'audio'],
-  categories: ['AMBNatr']
-});
-```
-
-## Test Isolation
-
-Each test suite:
-1. Creates temporary database and library directories
-2. Generates fresh test WAV files
-3. Initializes services with isolated instances
-4. Cleans up all resources after tests complete
-
-Temporary files are created in `test-data/` and automatically removed.
-
-## Testing Strategy
-
-### Unit Tests
-- Test individual service methods in isolation
-- Verify correct behavior with valid inputs
-- Handle edge cases and error conditions
-
-### Integration Tests
-- Test interactions between services (LibraryService + TagService + SearchService)
-- Verify database updates reflect in search results
-- Ensure file system operations complete successfully
-
-### Real Data Tests
-- Use actual WAV files with embedded metadata
-- Test metadata round-trip (write then read)
-- Verify file integrity after operations
-
-## Extending Tests
-
-### Adding New Test Cases
-
-1. **For TagService**:
-```typescript
-it('should handle new metadata field', () => {
-  tagService.writeMetadataOnly(testFilePath, {
-    tags: [],
-    categories: [],
-    newField: 'value'
-  });
-  
-  const metadata = tagService.readMetadata(testFilePath);
-  assert.strictEqual(metadata.newField, 'value');
-});
-```
-
-2. **For LibraryService**:
-```typescript
-it('should handle new operation', async () => {
-  await libraryService.scanLibrary();
-  const files = libraryService.listFiles();
-  
-  // Perform operation
-  await libraryService.newOperation(files[0].id);
-  
-  // Verify results
-  const updated = libraryService.listFiles();
-  assert.ok(/* verification */);
-});
-```
-
-3. **For SearchService**:
-```typescript
-it('should support new filter', () => {
-  const results = searchService.search('newfilter:value');
-  
-  assert.ok(results.length > 0);
-  assert.ok(/* filter applied correctly */);
-});
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Tests hang or timeout
-- Check for leaked file handles (ensure database.close() in afterEach)
-- Verify temp files are being cleaned up
-- Increase test timeout if needed
-
-### File not found errors
-- Ensure library path is created before writing test files
-- Check file paths use correct separators for OS
-- Verify temp directory permissions
-
-### Metadata not persisting
-- Confirm WAV file format is correct (use WaveFile library)
-- Check INFO chunk tags are supported
-- Verify file is written to disk before reading
-
-### Search tests fail
-- Rebuild search index after database changes
-- Clear metadata cache when needed
-- Check Fuse.js scoring thresholds
-
-## Performance Considerations
-
-- Tests create real WAV files (may be slower than mocks)
-- Each test suite runs independently with fresh data
-- Cleanup operations ensure no disk space accumulation
-- Test data directory can be cleared manually if needed: `rm -rf test-data`
-
-## CI/CD Integration
-
-Tests can be run in CI/CD pipelines:
-
-```yaml
-# GitHub Actions example
-- name: Run tests
-  run: npm test
-```
-
-Tests require:
-- Node.js 18+ (for node:test runner)
-- File system write access
-- Sufficient disk space for test WAV files (~1-2 MB per test run)
-
-## Debugging Tests
-
-Enable verbose output:
-```powershell
-NODE_OPTIONS='--test-reporter=spec' npm test
-```
-
-Run specific test:
-```powershell
-node --import tsx --test --test-name-pattern="should read author" src/test/TagService.test.ts
-```
-
-Debug with inspector:
-```powershell
-node --import tsx --test --inspect-brk src/test/TagService.test.ts
-```

-/**
- * Test Suite Summary
- * ===================
- * 
- * Comprehensive test coverage for AudioSort application core services.
- * All tests use real WAV file generation and isolated test environments.
- * 
- * Total Test Count: 67+ tests across 4 test files
- * 
- * Test Files:
- * -----------
- * 
- * 1. DatabaseService.test.ts (20 tests)
- *    - File CRUD operations
- *    - Tag and category management
- *    - Duplicate detection
- *    - Settings persistence
- * 
- * 2. TagService.test.ts (14 tests)
- *    - WAV metadata reading (author, copyright, title, rating)
- *    - WAV metadata writing
- *    - Tag normalization and application
- * 
- * 3. LibraryService.test.ts (20 tests)
- *    - Library scanning with metadata priority
- *    - File operations (rename, move, delete)
- *    - Temp file cleanup and recovery
- *    - Metadata management without organizing
- * 
- * 4. SearchService.test.ts (13 tests)
- *    - Fuzzy search across filename, tags, path
- *    - Advanced filters (author:, copyright:)
- *    - Typo tolerance and similarity scoring
- *    - Metadata caching and index rebuilding
- * 
- * Running Tests:
- * --------------
- * 
- * # Run all tests
- * npm test
- * 
- * # Run specific service tests
- * npm run test:database
- * npm run test:tag
- * npm run test:library
- * npm run test:search
- * 
- * Test Infrastructure:
- * --------------------
- * 
- * - Framework: Node.js built-in test runner (node:test)
- * - TypeScript: tsx for runtime execution
- * - WAV Generation: WaveFile library with real audio data
- * - Test Isolation: Temporary databases and libraries per suite
- * - Audio Format: 16-bit PCM, 44100 Hz, sine wave (440 Hz)
- * - Metadata: WAV INFO chunks (INAM, IART, ICOP, IRTD, etc.)
- * 
- * Key Features:
- * -------------
- * 
- * ✓ Real WAV file generation with embedded metadata
- * ✓ Isolated test environments (no cross-contamination)
- * ✓ Comprehensive coverage of all service methods
- * ✓ Edge case testing (missing data, errors, duplicates)
- * ✓ Fast execution with minimal dependencies
- * ✓ No mocking - tests use actual service implementations
- * 
- * For detailed documentation, see TEST_README.md
