Tooling tests

Standard-library unittest tests for the host-side tools in Tools/. They never start Blender, Unreal, or the game; anything that needs those processes is verified by the tool itself and recorded in Docs/release-checks.md instead.

Run from the repository root:

python3 -m pip install -r requirements-tools.txt
python3 -m unittest discover -s Tools/tests -t Tools -p 'test_*.py'

The -t Tools top-level directory is required: the tests import the tool modules by their plain names (import input_emulation), which is why Tools/tests/ carries an __init__.py.

Individual test:

python3 -m unittest Tools.tests.test_input_emulation -v

What belongs here

Test the pure parts — argument parsing, key/coordinate encoding, geometry maths, licence gating, report formatting, decision classification. Network, Blender and Unreal calls stay out: a test that needs a paid API, a display, or an engine process is a manual check, not a unit test.

When a tool's logic is buried in main(), extract it into a function so it can be tested directly. That is a tooling improvement, not test scaffolding.

Geo (Geo/tools/) and Blender (Art/blender/*/) builders are tested the same way once their pure parts are extracted; note the module path in the test.
