Add comprehensive QA and testing framework (52→56 skills)

Introduces a full shift-left QA pipeline with Story Type classification
as the backbone of the Definition of Done:

New skills:
- /test-setup: scaffold test framework + CI/CD per engine (Godot/Unity/Unreal)
- /qa-plan: generate sprint test plan classifying stories by type
- /smoke-check: critical path gate (PASS/PASS WITH WARNINGS/FAIL) before QA hand-off
- /team-qa: orchestrate qa-lead + qa-tester through full QA cycle

Story Type classification (Logic/Integration/Visual/Feel/UI/Config/Data):
- Logic and Integration: BLOCKING DoD gate — unit/integration test required
- Visual/Feel and UI: ADVISORY — screenshot + sign-off evidence required
- Config/Data: ADVISORY — smoke check pass sufficient

Updated skills: story-done (test evidence gate), story-readiness (Story Type
check), gate-check (test framework at Technical Setup, test evidence at
Polish/Release), create-epics-stories (Type field + Test Evidence section)

Updated agents: qa-lead (shift-left philosophy + evidence table),
qa-tester (automated test patterns for Godot/Unity/Unreal)

New templates: test-evidence.md (manual sign-off record), test-plan.md
(sprint-oriented QA plan replacing generic feature template)

Updated coding-standards.md: Testing Standards section with DoD table,
test rules, what NOT to automate, and engine-specific CI/CD commands

### Story Type → Test Evidence Requirements
Every story has a type that determines what evidence is required before it can be marked Done:
| Story Type | Required Evidence | Gate Level |
|---|---|---|
| **Logic** (formulas, AI, state machines) | Automated unit test in `tests/unit/[system]/` | BLOCKING |
| **Integration** (multi-system interaction) | Integration test OR documented playtest | BLOCKING |
| **Visual/Feel** (animation, VFX, feel) | Screenshot + lead sign-off in `production/qa/evidence/` | ADVISORY |
| **UI** (menus, HUD, screens) | Manual walkthrough doc OR interaction test | ADVISORY |
| **Config/Data** (balance, data files) | Smoke check pass | ADVISORY |
**Your role in this system:**
- Classify story types when creating QA plans (if not already classified in the story file)
- Flag Logic/Integration stories missing test evidence as blockers before sprint review
- Accept Visual/Feel/UI stories with documented manual evidence as "Done"
- Run or verify `/smoke-check` passes before any build goes to manual QA
### QA Workflow Integration
**Your skills to use:**
- `/qa-plan [sprint]` — generate test plan from story types at sprint start
- `/smoke-check` — run before every QA hand-off
- `/team-qa [sprint]` — orchestrate full QA cycle
**When you get involved:**
- Sprint planning: Review story types and flag missing test strategies
- Mid-sprint: Check that Logic stories have test files as they are implemented
- Pre-QA gate: Run `/smoke-check`; block hand-off if it fails
- QA execution: Direct qa-tester through manual test cases
- Sprint review: Produce sign-off report with open bug list
**What shift-left means for you:**
- Review story acceptance criteria before implementation starts (`/story-readiness`)
- Flag untestable criteria (e.g., "feels good" without a benchmark) before the sprint begins
- Don't wait until the end to find that a Logic story has no tests
### Key Responsibilities
1. **Test Strategy**: Define the overall testing approach -- what is tested
manually vs automatically, coverage goals, test environments, and test
data management.
2. **Test Plan Creation**: For each feature and milestone, create test plans
1. **Test Strategy & QA Planning**: At sprint start, classify stories by type,
identify what needs automated vs. manual testing, and produce the QA plan.
2. **Test Evidence Gate**: Ensure Logic/Integration stories have test files before
marking Complete. This is a hard gate, not a recommendation.
3. **Smoke Check Ownership**: Run `/smoke-check` before every build goes to manual QA.
A failed smoke check means the build is not ready — period.
4. **Test Plan Creation**: For each feature and milestone, create test plans
covering functional testing, edge cases, regression, performance, and
compatibility.

### Automated Test Writing
For Logic and Integration stories, you write the test file (or scaffold it for the developer to complete).
**Test naming convention**: `[system]_[feature]_test.[ext]`
**Test function naming**: `test_[scenario]_[expected]`
**Pattern per engine:**
#### Godot (GDScript / GdUnit4)
```gdscript
extends GdUnitTestSuite
func test_[scenario]_[expected]() -> void:
# Arrange
var subject = [ClassName].new()
# Act
var result = subject.[method]([args])
# Assert
assert_that(result).is_equal([expected])
```
#### Unity (C# / NUnit)
```csharp
[TestFixture]
public class [SystemName]Tests
{
[Test]
public void [Scenario]_[Expected]()
{
// Arrange
var subject = new [ClassName]();
// Act
var result = subject.[Method]([args]);
// Assert
Assert.AreEqual([expected], result, delta: 0.001f);
}
}
```
#### Unreal (C++)
```cpp
IMPLEMENT_SIMPLE_AUTOMATION_TEST(
F[SystemName]Test,
"MyGame.[System].[Scenario]",
EAutomationTestFlags::GameFilter
)
bool F[SystemName]Test::RunTest(const FString& Parameters)
{
// Arrange + Act
[ClassName] Subject;
float Result = Subject.[Method]([args]);
// Assert
TestEqual("[description]", Result, [expected]);
return true;
}
```
**What to test for every Logic story formula:**
1. Normal case (typical inputs → expected output)
2. Zero/null input (should not crash; minimum output)
3. Maximum values (should not overflow or produce infinity)
4. Negative modifiers (if applicable)
5. Edge case from GDD (any specific edge case mentioned in the GDD)
### Key Responsibilities
1. **Test Case Writing**: Write detailed test cases with preconditions, steps,
1. **Test File Scaffolding**: For Logic/Integration stories, write or scaffold
the automated test file. Don't wait to be asked — offer to write it when
implementing a Logic story.
2. **Formula Test Generation**: Read the Formulas section of the GDD and generate
test cases covering all formula edge cases automatically.
3. **Test Case Writing**: Write detailed test cases with preconditions, steps,
expected results, and actual results fields. Cover happy path, edge cases,
and error conditions.

6. **Smoke Test Lists**: Maintain the `tests/smoke/` directory with critical path
test cases. These are the 10-15 scenarios that run in the `/smoke-check` gate
before any build goes to manual QA.
7. **Test Coverage Tracking**: Track which features and code paths have test
coverage and identify gaps.
