    config_dir = tmp_path / "devforgeai" / "config"
    config_dir.mkdir(parents=True)
    return config_dir

@pytest.fixture
def temp_logs_dir(tmp_path):
    """Temporary logs directory"""
    logs_dir = tmp_path / "devforgeai" / "logs"
    logs_dir.mkdir(parents=True)
    return logs_dir

@pytest.fixture
def config_manager_instance(temp_config_dir, temp_logs_dir):
    """ConfigurationManager test instance"""
    reset_config_manager()
    manager = ConfigurationManager(
        config_file_path=temp_config_dir / "feedback.yaml",
        logs_dir=temp_logs_dir,
        enable_hot_reload=False

## FAQ

### Q: How many tests should I write per day?
**A:** Aim for 30-40 tests/day for experienced developers (4-5 hours). Start with Phase 1 data model tests for quick wins.

### Q: Can I run tests incrementally?
**A:** Yes! Start with `test_config_models.py` (lowest complexity, fastest feedback). Run after each test class to verify progress.

### Q: What if a test is too complex?
**A:** Break it into smaller test methods. Each test should focus on one behavior. Look for parametrization opportunities.

### Q: How do I handle timing issues in hot-reload tests?
**A:** Use polling loops with small waits (0.1s intervals) and reasonable timeouts (5s max). See examples in TEST_SPECIFICATIONS.md.

### Q: Should I implement conftest.py first?
**A:** Yes. Create shared fixtures early (temp directories, mock callbacks). This makes test implementation much faster.

---

## Support & Troubleshooting

### Test Isolation Issues
**Problem:** Tests affect each other
**Solution:** Ensure proper fixture cleanup (use `yield`, cleanup after)

### Timing Issues
**Problem:** Tests flaky due to timing
**Solution:** Use `pytest-timeout` plugin, polling loops instead of fixed sleep

### Import Errors
**Problem:** Cannot import modules under test
**Solution:** Ensure devforgeai_cli is in Python path, use PYTHONPATH environment variable

### Coverage Not Increasing
**Problem:** Tests not hitting expected lines
**Solution:** Review test assertions, add print statements during development, use pytest -s flag
