Subject: [PATCH 1/7] feat: Add centralized path resolver for project root
 detection

- Added commands/utils/paths.py with ProjectPaths class
- Provides consistent project root detection from anywhere
- Updated all proj commands to use the new path resolver
- Updated dev/precommit to use the path resolver
- Ensures all commands know where the project root is
- Based on Shaypoor's path resolution pattern but simplified

+# Tests Directory Structure
+
+This directory contains all test-related files organized by functionality.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+```
+tests/
+├── commands/      # Unit tests for CLI commands (moved from commands/tests/)
+├── docker/        # Docker-related test configurations
+├── env/           # Test environment setups and fixtures
+├── integration/   # Integration tests
+├── rust/          # Rust-related tests (when applicable)
+└── e2e/           # End-to-end tests (future)
+```
+
+## Test Categories
+
+### commands/
+Unit tests for all CLI commands. These test individual command functionality in isolation.
+
+### docker/
+Contains Docker Compose files and Dockerfiles for testing the application in containerized environments.
+
+### env/
+Test environment configurations, fixtures, and temporary test data. Virtual environments for testing should be created here.
+
+### integration/
+Integration tests that test multiple components working together.
+
+### rust/ (future)
+Tests for Rust components when building mixed-language projects.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+cli dev test
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=commands
+
+# Run specific test category
+pytest tests/commands/
+pytest tests/integration/
+```
+
+## Test Conventions
+
+1. **Naming**: Test files should be named `test_*.py`
+2. **Structure**: Mirror the source code structure within each test category
+3. **Isolation**: Each test should be independent and not rely on other tests
+4. **Cleanup**: Tests should clean up any temporary files or directories they create
+5. **Documentation**: Complex tests should include docstrings explaining what they test
+
+## Temporary Files
+
+Any temporary files or directories created during testing should be placed in `tests/env/tmp/` and cleaned up after the test completes.
