# Release notice tool tests

Run `python3 tests/release_notices/run.py` from the repository root. Uses Python's
standard library and isolated temporary fixtures only; no managed package,
SDK, toolchain, PlatformIO, network, or device is required. Linux/POSIX path and
descriptor semantics match the notice tool.

Covers exact full-text/excerpt preservation and manifests; deterministic bytes
across moved roots/changed mtimes; missing, empty, changed and oversized inputs;
source body drift outside excerpts; bounds/schema; traversal and symlinks in
input/output ancestry; FIFOs/directories; existing user-data preservation;
explicit output requirement; unlisted secret/config/build exclusion; incomplete
write behavior; and success/failure CLI exits.

Real installed-input assembly and recipient delivery are separate checks; see
`docs/release_packaging.md`. Passing these tests is not license clearance or
proof of corresponding-source compliance.
