Regression Checker

Runs the existing test suite to ensure no regressions after implementation changes.

Purpose & Scope

• Detect test framework (pytest/jest/vitest/go test/etc.) and test dirs.

• Execute full suite; capture results for Story quality gate.

• Return PASS/FAIL with counts/log excerpts; never modifies Linear or kanban.

When to Use

• Invoked by ln-500-story-quality-gate Pass 1 (after ln-501)

• Code quality check passed

• Before test planning pipeline (ln-510)

Workflow (concise)

• Auto-discover framework and test locations from repo config/files.

• Read docs/project/runbook.md — get exact test commands, Docker setup, environment variables. Use commands from runbook, NOT guessed commands.

• Build appropriate test command; run with timeout (~5m); capture stdout/stderr.

• Parse results: passed/failed counts; key failing tests.

• Output verdict JSON (PASS or FAIL + failures list) and add Linear comment.

Critical Rules

• No selective test runs; run full suite.

• Do not fix tests or change status; only report.

• Language preservation in comment (EN/RU).

Definition of Done

• Framework detected; command executed.

• Results parsed; verdict produced with failing tests (if any).

• Linear comment posted with summary.
