docs(testing): describe the test strategy without publishing it - #65
Merged
Conversation
The page documented the conformance harness in enough detail to be a build guide: the capture mechanism and the tool behind it, exact fixture paths, the internal test-macro name, a pipeline diagram, and the file naming for known differences. None of that helps a reader decide whether to trust the engine, and all of it is reusable by anyone wanting to build the same thing. The corpus is the hard part and the durable advantage; the page should carry the confidence without handing over the recipe. Kept, because they are the reasons to trust it: reference values come from Google Sheets itself rather than from a specification or from our own output; an engine checked against itself only ever agrees with itself; enforced vs tracked categories; known differences stay in the total rather than being removed; values are never hand-edited and reference data never travels with an engine change. Closes #64 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Closes #64.
The page documented the conformance harness in enough detail to be a build guide — the capture mechanism and the tool behind it, exact fixture paths, the internal test-macro name, a pipeline diagram, and the file naming for known differences.
None of that helps a reader decide whether to trust the engine, and all of it is reusable by anyone wanting to build the same thing. The corpus is the hard part and the durable advantage; the page should carry the confidence without handing over the recipe.
Kept — these are the actual reasons to trust it, and they're arguments, not instructions:
Removed — the capture tooling and pipeline wiring, exact fixture paths, internal test-macro names, the diagram, and the internal naming for the known-differences set.
Net effect: shorter, and it now reads as why this is trustworthy rather than how to rebuild it.
The same edit has been applied to the corresponding section of the marketing site (truecalc/website#2), so the two stay consistent.
