Test Doc Enhancements

[JaclynCodes]

This pull request significantly enhances the test documentation and infrastructure validation for the tests directory. The main improvements include a complete overhaul of tests/README.md to provide detailed guidance on test coverage, execution, and design principles, the addition of a comprehensive test generation summary, and the introduction of a new infrastructure validation test suite. These changes ensure that the test suite is well-documented, maintainable, and that its configuration is rigorously validated.

Documentation improvements:

• Expanded and reorganized tests/README.md to include detailed sections on test coverage, dependencies, running tests (with markers and patterns), design principles, CI integration, and future coverage plans. The README now gives clear instructions for contributors and summaries of test results. [1] [2]
• Added tests/TEST_GENERATION_SUMMARY.md, which documents the rationale, structure, and benefits of the generated validation tests, including their impact on maintainability and CI integration.

Test infrastructure validation:

• Introduced tests/test_infrastructure_validation.py, a new test suite (~35 tests) that programmatically verifies:
  • The correctness and completeness of pytest.ini (section presence, patterns, options).
  • The existence and content of tests/requirements.txt (including versioned dependencies).
  • Test discovery patterns, directory structure, and naming conventions.
  • The presence of necessary __init__.py files and absence of test files outside tests/.
  • That test files and classes follow proper naming and documentation conventions.

Test suite organization and maintainability:

• Emphasized module-scoped fixtures, parameterization, and code quality standards throughout documentation and new validation tests, ensuring that future changes are easy to verify and maintain. [1] [2] [3]

These changes collectively provide a robust foundation for the test infrastructure, making it easier to maintain high standards, prevent configuration drift, and ensure reliability in CI/CD pipelines.

P2: The transpose heuristic can corrupt valid short multi-channel signals (when `n_samples < n_channels`) and contradicts the comment about removing the heuristic. It’s safer to require callers to pass the correct `(n_samples, n_channels)` orientation rather than guessing.</violation>
