Pre-release, non-deterministic tests (marker l2, skipped without .env + VPN). They
close the gaps L1 leaves open: real value grounding on the live schema, real memory
save-one upsert to pgvector, and the full GLM 5.2 -> gate conversation on the
'ablazione' question (which exercises D14 value grounding + formula on a multi-
column case + the gate glue L1 cannot reach).
workspaces/chirone-test.yaml points at the remote endpoints (DWH read-only +
pgvector dual-key, TLS self-signed); secrets via ${THOTH_*}.
- test_session_ablazione: precondition checks (workspace loads, env present, pi on
PATH) + the documented manual run protocol (human-in-the-loop; scripted-answers
variant is a follow-up). Default run skips cleanly.
- test_value_grounding_real: 'ablazione' grounds to multiple columns on the real
schema (D14a non-collapsing), needs a built LSH index.
- test_memory_save_one_real: save_one_memory upserts one row via the writer key
(D11) and search_similar retrieves it via the reader key.
Operator runs before release (pytest -m l2). Default run: 109 passed, 5 skipped.
conftest loads harness/.env once (session, autouse) via python-dotenv, and exposes
an l2_env fixture that SKIPS (not fails) when any L2 prerequisite var is missing/
empty: THOTH_DWH_API_KEY, THOTH_VEC_API_KEY, THOTH_VEC_WRITE_API_KEY, THOTH_SSL_CA.
So the default run (pytest = L0+L1, addopts '-m not l2') stays green without .env;
only pytest -m l2 (pre-release, with .env + VPN) exercises them. l0/l2 markers were
registered in A9. tests/l2/ package created for the L2 tests (D4, D5).
