  "summary": "Static review of Python test-suite quality (pytest, hypothesis): fixture scope and isolation, mock misuse and wrong-target patching, control of time/randomness/environment, flakiness sources, assertion quality, coverage theater, async-test correctness, and property-based-testing signal. Reads test and source code only; never runs the suite.",

  "security_notes": "Static review only — reads test code, fixtures, and the code under test to assess whether the suite reduces risk; never runs pytest, executes a test, or measures coverage. A claim about a test's actual pass/fail, coverage number, or flakiness rate is flagged as needing execution by the user. Never requests secrets, credentials, or customer data.",
