Phase 1 of the internal/testing/ consolidation is complete. All existing documentation now has standardized frontmatter for better discoverability, and a comprehensive CLAUDE.md provides AI H.P.001-AGENTS with quick reference for testing H.P.006-WORKFLOWS.

Key Achievement: Transformed testing documentation from a collection of standalone files into a cohesive, well-indexed knowledge base with clear gaps identified and implementation plans documented.

Next Step: Create the 3 missing testing guides (UNIT-TEST-GUIDE.md, INTEGRATION-TEST-GUIDE.md, E2E-TEST-GUIDE.md) to achieve 100% coverage of the testing pyramid.

Estimated Total Effort to Completion: 4-6 hours (Phase 2)

Compliance: CODITECT Documentation Standards v1.0 Phase 1 Status: ✅ Complete Phase 2 Status: 📋 Planned (ready for implementation) Overall Progress: 60% complete (6/9 planned documents exist)
