+# Contributing to Never Enough Tests
+
+Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Never Enough Tests suite for pytest! This document provides guidelines for contributing high-quality stress tests.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+The Never Enough Tests suite follows chaos engineering principles:
+
+1. **Expose weaknesses through controlled experiments**
+2. **Build confidence in system resilience**
+3. **Learn from failures under stress**
+4. **Automate chaos to run continuously**
+
+## What Makes a Good Stress Test?
+
+### 1. Reproducibility
+All tests must be reproducible, even when using randomization:
+
+```python
+# GOOD: Uses configurable seed
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("iteration", range(50))
+def test_chaos_execution(iteration, chaos_config):
+    random.seed(chaos_config["seed"] + iteration)
+    # ... test logic
+
+
+# BAD: Non-reproducible randomness
+def test_chaos_bad():
+    random.seed()  # No way to reproduce
+```
+
+### 2. Clear Purpose
+Document WHY the test exists and WHAT boundary it explores:
+
+```python
+def test_extreme_parametrization():
+    """
+    Tests pytest's ability to handle 1000+ parametrized test cases.
+
+    Boundary: Validates test collection and memory management with
+    extreme parametrization, exposing potential O(n²) algorithms.
+
+    Expected: Should complete in <30s on modern hardware.
+    """
+```
+
+### 3. Graceful Degradation
+Tests should handle resource constraints gracefully:
+
+```python
+def test_memory_stress(chaos_config):
+    """Test memory allocation patterns."""
+    stress_factor = chaos_config["stress_factor"]
+
+    # Cap at reasonable maximum
+    size = min(int(1000000 * stress_factor), 100000000)
+
+    try:
+        data = bytearray(size)
+        # ... test logic
+    except MemoryError:
+        pytest.skip("Insufficient memory for stress test")
+```
+
+### 4. Isolation
+Tests must not interfere with each other:
+
+```python
+# GOOD: Cleanup in fixture teardown
+@pytest.fixture
+def temp_resources(tmp_path):
+    resources = create_resources(tmp_path)
+    yield resources
+    cleanup(resources)  # Guaranteed cleanup
+
+
+# BAD: Pollutes global state
+def test_bad():
+    global_state["key"] = "value"  # No cleanup
+```
+
+## Contribution Categories
+
+### 1. New Test Patterns
+
+Add tests that explore new pytest boundaries:
+
+- **Fixture patterns**: Circular dependencies, dynamic generation, scope mixing
+- **Parametrization**: New combinations, extreme scales, complex types
+- **Markers**: Custom markers, marker inheritance, filtering edge cases
+- **Plugins**: Plugin interaction, hook execution order, plugin conflicts
+
+### 2. Cross-Language Integration
+
+Expand C++ boundary testing or add new languages:
+
+- **Rust**: Memory safety, ownership boundaries
+- **Go**: Goroutine interactions, channel chaos
+- **JavaScript**: V8 integration, async boundary testing
+
+### 3. Chaos Scenarios
+
+New chaos modes or orchestration patterns:
+
+- **Network chaos**: Simulated failures, latency injection
+- **Filesystem chaos**: Full disk, permission errors, corruption
+- **Time chaos**: Clock skew, timezone mutations
+- **Signal chaos**: Random SIGSTOP/SIGCONT patterns
+
+### 4. Performance Optimizations
+
+Improve execution speed without losing stress coverage:
+
+- Profiling insights
+- Parallel execution improvements
+- Smarter test generation
+
+## Code Standards
+
+### Python
+
+Follow pytest-dev standards:
+
+```python
+# Type hints
+def create_fixture(name: str, scope: str = "function") -> pytest.fixture:
+    """Create a dynamic fixture."""
+    pass
+
+
+# Docstrings (Google style)
+def complex_function(param1: int, param2: str) -> dict:
+    """
+    Short description.
+
+    Longer explanation of what this function does and why it exists.
+
+    Args:
+        param1: Description of param1
+        param2: Description of param2
+
+    Returns:
+        Dictionary containing results
+
+    Raises:
+        ValueError: When param1 is negative
+    """
+    pass
+
+
+# Clear variable names
+def test_fixture_scope_interaction():
+    # GOOD
+    session_scoped_counter = 0
+
+    # BAD
+    x = 0
+```
+
+### C++
+
+Follow modern C++ practices:
+
+```cpp
+// Use smart pointers
+auto buffer = std::make_unique<char[]>(size);
+
+// RAII for resource management
+class ResourceManager {
+public:
+    ResourceManager(size_t size) : data_(new char[size]) {}
+    ~ResourceManager() { delete[] data_; }
+
+private:
+    char* data_;
+};
+
+// Const correctness
+const std::string& get_value() const { return value_; }
+
+// Type safety
+enum class TestMode { Normal, Chaos, Extreme };
+```
+
+### Shell
+
+Defensive bash scripting:
+
+```bash
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+
+# Fail fast
+set -euo pipefail
+
+# Quote variables
+echo "Value: ${var}"
+
+# Check command existence
+if ! command -v pytest &> /dev/null; then
+    echo "pytest not found"
+    exit 1
+fi
+
+# Cleanup on exit
+cleanup() {
+    rm -rf "${temp_dir}"
+}
+trap cleanup EXIT
+```
+
+## Testing Your Contribution
+
+Before submitting:
+
+### 1. Run Full Test Suite
+
+```bash
+# Normal mode
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode normal
+
+# Chaos mode with multiple seeds
+for seed in 1 42 12345; do
+    ./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed $seed
+done
+
+# Parallel mode
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode parallel --workers 4
+```
+
+### 2. Verify Reproducibility
+
+```bash
+# Run twice with same seed - should produce identical results
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed 42 > run1.log
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed 42 > run2.log
+diff run1.log run2.log  # Should be identical
+```
+
+### 3. Check Resource Usage
+
+```bash
+# Monitor memory usage
+/usr/bin/time -v pytest test_never_enough.py
+
+# Profile execution
+python -m cProfile -o profile.stats -m pytest test_never_enough.py
+python -c "import pstats; p = pstats.Stats('profile.stats'); p.sort_stats('cumulative'); p.print_stats(20)"
+```
+
+### 4. Verify C++ Components
+
+```bash
+cd cpp_components
+make clean
+make all
+make test
+```
+
+### 5. Lint and Format
+
+```bash
+# Python
+black test_never_enough.py
+flake8 test_never_enough.py
+mypy test_never_enough.py
+
+# C++
+clang-format -i *.cpp
+
+# Shell
+shellcheck scripts/*.sh
+```

+# Never Enough Tests: Extreme Pytest Stress Testing Suite
+
+[![Python](https://img.shields.io/badge/python-3.8+-blue.svg)](https://www.python.org/downloads/)

+
+## Overview
+
+**Never Enough Tests** is an extreme stress testing suite for pytest, inspired by the chaos engineering principles of DominionOS. This project pushes pytest to its limits through:
+
+- **Extreme fixture chains**: Deep dependency graphs and diamond patterns
+- **Parametrization explosions**: Thousands of generated test cases
+- **Cross-language boundaries**: C++ integration for validating subprocess handling
+- **Chaos mode**: Randomized execution, environment mutations, resource stress
+- **Parallel execution stress**: Testing race conditions and resource contention
+
+## Philosophy
+
+> "Testing frameworks must be robust under extreme conditions."
+
+Real-world CI/CD environments are chaotic: parallel workers, resource constraints, random ordering, flaky infrastructure. This suite simulates that chaos to expose bugs that only appear under stress, ensuring pytest remains resilient.
+
+## 🚀 Quick Contribution Setup

+pytest test_never_enough.py -n auto
+```
+
+### Using Orchestration Scripts
+
+```bash
+# Normal mode
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode normal
+
+# Chaos mode with reproducible seed
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed 12345
+
+# Extreme parallel stress testing
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode extreme --workers 8 --stress 5.0

+
+# Advanced chaos with resource limits
+./scripts/chaos_runner.sh
+
+# Performance benchmarking
+./scripts/benchmark_runner.sh
+```
+
+## Test Modes
+
+### Normal Mode
+Standard execution with controlled stress factor.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode normal
+```
+
+### Chaos Mode
+Enables randomization, environment mutations, and non-deterministic behavior.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed 42
+```
+
+Features:
+- Random test ordering
+- Environment variable mutations
+- Random execution delays
+- Resource stress patterns
+
+### Parallel Mode
+Tests concurrent execution with varying worker counts.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode parallel --workers 8
+```
+
+### Extreme Mode
+Maximum chaos: parallel + random order + chaos mode + high stress factor.
+
+```bash
+./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode extreme --stress 10.0
+```
+
+**Warning**: Failures expected under extreme stress. This mode validates pytest's resilience.
+
+## Command-Line Options
+
+### pytest Options
+
+```bash
+--chaos-mode              # Enable chaos mode
+--chaos-seed=N           # Reproducible random seed
+--max-depth=N            # Maximum fixture recursion depth (default: 10)
+--stress-factor=F        # Stress multiplier (default: 1.0, max: 10.0)
+```
+
+### Script Options
+
+```bash
+--mode <mode>            # Test mode: normal, chaos, extreme, parallel, all
+--workers <n>            # Number of parallel workers (default: auto)
+--seed <n>               # Random seed for reproducibility
+--stress <factor>        # Stress factor multiplier
+--build-cpp              # Rebuild C++ components before testing
+--no-cleanup             # Don't cleanup temporary files
+--verbose                # Enable verbose output
+```
+
+## Test Categories
+
+### 1. Extreme Fixture Chains
+Tests deep fixture dependencies (5+ levels) and diamond dependency patterns.
+
+```python
+def test_deep_fixture_chain(level_5_fixture):
+    # Tests 5-level deep fixture dependency
+    assert level_5_fixture["level"] == 5
+```
+
+### 2. Parametrization Stress
+Generates thousands of test cases through parametrize combinations.
+
+```python
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("x", range(20))
+@pytest.mark.parametrize("y", range(20))
+def test_parametrize_cartesian_400(x, y):
+    # 400 test cases from 20x20 cartesian product
+    assert x * y >= 0
+```
+
+### 3. Resource Stress Testing
+- **Memory stress**: Allocates large buffers (configurable via stress factor)
+- **Thread stress**: Spawns multiple concurrent threads
+- **File stress**: Creates hundreds of temporary files
+
+### 4. Cross-Language Boundary Testing
+Executes C++ programs via subprocess to validate:
+- Integer overflow handling
+- Null pointer detection
+- Memory allocation limits
+- Buffer boundary conditions
+- Floating-point precision
+
+```python
+def test_cpp_boundary_integer_overflow(cpp_boundary_tester):
+    result = subprocess.run([str(cpp_boundary_tester), "int_overflow"], ...)
+    assert result.returncode == 0
+```
+
+### 5. Fixture Scope Boundaries
+Tests interaction between session, module, class, and function-scoped fixtures.
+
+### 6. Chaos Mode Tests
+50 randomized test cases with:
+- Random delays
+- Environment mutations
+- Non-deterministic operations
+
+## C++ Components
+
+### boundary_tester
+Validates boundary conditions difficult to test in Python:
+
+```bash
+./build/boundary_tester int_overflow       # Integer overflow
+./build/boundary_tester null_pointer       # Null pointer handling
+./build/boundary_tester memory_stress      # Memory allocation
+./build/boundary_tester buffer_test 1024   # Buffer boundaries
+./build/boundary_tester float_precision    # Float precision
+./build/boundary_tester recursion_depth    # Stack overflow
+./build/boundary_tester exception_handling # C++ exceptions
+```
+
+### fuzzer
+Generates malformed inputs for fuzzing:
+
+```bash
+./build/fuzzer random_bytes 1000        # Random byte sequences
+./build/fuzzer malformed_utf8 500       # Malformed UTF-8
+./build/fuzzer extreme_numbers 10       # Extreme numeric values
+./build/fuzzer json_fuzzing 20          # Malformed JSON
+```
+
+## Performance Benchmarking
+
+```bash
+./scripts/benchmark_runner.sh
+```
+
+Measures:
+- Test collection time
+- Execution time per test
+- Memory usage patterns
+- Parallel scaling efficiency (1, 2, 4, 8 workers)
+
+Results saved in `scripts/benchmark_results/`.

+## Continuous Integration
+
+Example GitHub Actions workflow:
+
+```yaml
+name: Never Enough Tests
+
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        python-version: [3.8, 3.9, '3.10', 3.11]
+        mode: [normal, chaos, parallel]
+
+    steps:
+    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
+
+    - name: Set up Python
+      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
+      with:
+        python-version: ${{ matrix.python-version }}
+
+    - name: Install dependencies
+      run: |
+        pip install pytest pytest-xdist pytest-random-order
+
+    - name: Build C++ components
+      run: |
+        cd cpp_components
+        make all
+
+    - name: Run tests
+      run: |
+        ./scripts/never_enough_tests.sh --mode ${{ matrix.mode }} --seed 42
+```
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **C++ compilation required**: Some tests skip if C++ compiler unavailable
+2. **Resource limits**: Extreme mode may fail on resource-constrained systems
+3. **Parallel execution**: Requires pytest-xdist plugin
+4. **Random ordering**: Requires pytest-random-order plugin
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests timeout in extreme mode
+Reduce stress factor: `--stress-factor=0.5`
+
+### Out of memory errors
+Lower worker count or stress factor: `--workers 2 --stress 1.0`
+
+### C++ compilation fails
+Ensure GCC 7+ or Clang 5+ installed with C++17 support
+
+### Random order not working
+Install plugin: `pip install pytest-random-order`

+
+## 🐛 Bug Discovered & Fixed: C++ Buffer Boundary Issue
+
+### Cross-Language Integration Tests
+**Executed**: `test_cpp_boundary_buffer_sizes` with sizes [0, 1, 1024, 1048576]
+
+| Test Case | Size (bytes) | Initial Result | Final Result |
+|-----------|--------------|----------------|--------------|
+| buffer_sizes[0] | 0 | ✅ PASSED | ✅ PASSED |
+| buffer_sizes[1] | 1 | ❌ **FAILED** | ✅ **FIXED** |
+| buffer_sizes[1024] | 1,024 | ✅ PASSED | ✅ PASSED |
+| buffer_sizes[1048576] | 1,048,576 | ✅ PASSED | ✅ PASSED |
+
+### Bug Details & Fix
+**Initial Failure**:
+```
+FAILED testing/never_enough_tests/test_never_enough.py::test_cpp_boundary_buffer_sizes[1]
+AssertionError: assert 1 == 0
+Stderr: FAIL: Buffer boundary read/write mismatch
+```
+
+**Root Cause**: Off-by-one error in `boundary_tester.cpp` at line 168
+- For buffer size=1, both `buffer[0]` and `buffer[buffer_size - 1]` point to the same location
+- Writing 'A' then 'Z' overwrote the first value, causing read verification to fail
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+```cpp
+// Before: Always wrote to both first and last byte
+buffer[0] = 'A';
+buffer[buffer_size - 1] = 'Z';
+
+// After: Skip last byte write when size == 1
+buffer[0] = 'A';
+if (buffer_size > 1) {
+    buffer[buffer_size - 1] = 'Z';
+}
+bool first_ok = (buffer[0] == 'A');
+bool last_ok = (buffer_size == 1) ? true : (buffer[buffer_size - 1] == 'Z');
+```
+
+**Verification**: All 4 buffer tests now pass (0.00s - 0.01s each)
+- **Impact**: Critical boundary case bug fixed through chaos testing methodology
+- **Proof of Concept**: Successfully demonstrated value of extreme edge case testing
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Additional Tests Passed
+
+### Deep Fixture Chain (5 Levels)
+```
+fixture_level_5 → fixture_level_4 → fixture_level_3 → fixture_level_2 → fixture_level_1
+```
+- **Result**: ✅ PASSED (0.15s)
+- **Validated**: Complex fixture dependency resolution working correctly
+
+### C++ Boundary Tests (Other Cases)
+- ✅ `test_cpp_boundary_integer_overflow` - PASSED
+- ✅ `test_cpp_boundary_null_pointer` - PASSED
+- ✅ `test_cpp_boundary_memory_allocation` - PASSED (0.65s, allocated 10MB)
+
+---
+

+/**
+ * Boundary Tester: C++ Component for Cross-Language Testing
+ *
+ * Purpose:
+ * This C++ program validates boundary conditions that are difficult or
+ * impossible to test purely in Python. It exposes edge cases in:
+ * - Integer overflow/underflow
+ * - Null pointer handling
+ * - Memory allocation limits
+ * - Buffer boundary conditions
+ * - Numeric precision limits
+ *
+ * Integration:
+ * Called from pytest via subprocess to validate cross-language behavior
+ * and ensure pytest can handle external process failures gracefully.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   g++ -std=c++17 -O2 boundary_tester.cpp -o boundary_tester
+ *   ./boundary_tester <test_mode> [args...]
+ *
+ * Test Modes:
+ *   int_overflow       - Test integer overflow detection
+ *   null_pointer       - Test null pointer handling
+ *   memory_stress      - Stress test memory allocation
+ *   buffer_test <size> - Test buffer boundary conditions
+ *   float_precision    - Test floating point precision limits
+ *   recursion_depth    - Test stack overflow conditions
+ *   exception_handling - Test C++ exception propagation

+/**
+ * Fuzzer: Advanced Input Fuzzing Component
+ *
+ * Purpose:
+ * Generate randomized, malformed, and edge-case inputs to stress-test
+ * systems under chaotic conditions. This component produces:
+ * - Random byte sequences
+ * - Malformed UTF-8 strings
+ * - Extreme numeric values
+ * - Pathological data structures
+ *
+ * Integration:
+ * Can be called from pytest to generate fuzzing payloads for testing
+ * parser robustness, input validation, and error handling.
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   g++ -std=c++17 -O2 fuzzer.cpp -o fuzzer
+ *   ./fuzzer <mode> <count> [seed]
+ *
+ * Modes:
+ *   random_bytes    - Generate random byte sequences
+ *   malformed_utf8  - Generate malformed UTF-8 strings
+ *   extreme_numbers - Generate extreme numeric values
+ *   json_fuzzing    - Generate malformed JSON structures

+# never_enough_tests.sh
+# Main orchestration script for chaos testing suite
+#
+# Purpose:
+# Execute the "Never Enough Tests" suite with various chaos modes, parallel
+# execution patterns, and environment mutations. This script stress-tests
+# pytest's infrastructure by:
+# - Running tests in random order
+# - Parallel execution with varying worker counts
+# - Environment variable mutations
+# - Resource limit adjustments
+# - Selective test filtering and explosion
+#
+# Philosophy:
+# Real-world CI/CD systems are chaotic: parallel workers, flaky networks,
+# resource contention, random ordering. This script simulates that chaos
+# to find bugs that only appear under stress.
+#
+# Usage:
+#   ./never_enough_tests.sh [OPTIONS]
+#
+# Options:
+#   --mode <mode>       Test mode: normal, chaos, extreme, parallel
+#   --workers <n>       Number of parallel workers (default: auto)
+#   --seed <n>          Random seed for reproducibility
+#   --stress <factor>   Stress factor multiplier (default: 1.0)
+#   --build-cpp         Rebuild C++ components before testing
+#   --no-cleanup        Don't cleanup temporary files
+#   --verbose           Enable verbose output
+#   --help              Show this help message
+#
+# Examples:
+#   ./never_enough_tests.sh --mode chaos --seed 12345
+#   ./never_enough_tests.sh --mode extreme --workers 8 --stress 5.0
+#   ./never_enough_tests.sh --mode parallel --build-cpp

+Never Enough Tests: Extreme pytest stress testing module.
+
+This module pushes pytest to its limits through:
+- Recursive and deeply nested fixture chains
+- Extreme parametrization (thousands of test cases)
+- Fixture scope boundary testing
+- Memory and resource stress patterns
+- Cross-language boundary validation
+- Chaotic fixture dependency graphs
+
+Philosophy:
+Testing frameworks must be robust under extreme conditions. This module
+simulates real-world chaos: fixtures that depend on fixtures that depend on
+fixtures, parametrization explosions, dynamic test generation, and boundary
+conditions that expose race conditions and resource leaks.
+
+Usage:
+    pytest test_never_enough.py -v
+    pytest test_never_enough.py -n auto  # parallel execution
+    pytest test_never_enough.py --chaos-mode  # enables randomization
