feat: implement Datest MVP with Dana test framework integration

Summary

This PR implements the complete Datest MVP - a Dana-native testing framework that provides comprehensive test discovery, execution, and reporting for Dana (.na) files. This is a major milestone that transforms the project from a simple rename to a fully functional testing framework.

🎯 Major Implementation

Complete Testing Framework

  • Test Discovery: Configurable file patterns, recursive directory traversal
  • Dana Execution: Subprocess-based execution with timeout support
  • Assertion Parsing: Parses Dana assertions, logs, and errors from both text and JSON output
  • Rich Reporting: Colored console output with detailed assertion display
  • pytest Integration: Seamless .na file discovery in pytest workflows
  • Configuration System: TOML-based configuration with command-line overrides

Core Modules Implemented

  • datest/discovery.py - Test file discovery with pattern matching
  • datest/executor.py - Dana runtime execution and process management
  • datest/assertions.py - Assertion parsing and validation
  • datest/models.py - Data models for test files, assertions, and results
  • datest/reporter.py - Rich console reporting with colors and formatting
  • datest/config.py - Configuration management with TOML support
  • datest/pytest_plugin.py - Full pytest integration for .na files

Comprehensive Testing

  • Unit Tests: Complete coverage for all modules
  • Integration Tests: Full pipeline testing with mocked Dana
  • End-to-End Tests: CLI and configuration testing
  • Test Fixtures: Example Dana test files demonstrating usage

🚀 Key Features

Test Discovery & Execution

# Basic usage
datest tests/

# Discovery only
datest --discover-only tests/

# Verbose with custom pattern
datest -v --pattern "spec_*.na" tests/

# With configuration file
datest --config myconfig.toml tests/

# JSON output with timeout
datest --json --timeout 60 tests/

pytest Integration

# Automatic .na file discovery
pytest tests/

# With Dana-specific options
pytest --dana-json --dana-timeout 45 tests/

Configuration Support

[discovery]
patterns = ["test_*.na", "*_test.na"]
exclude = [".*", "__pycache__"]
recursive = true

[execution]
command = "dana"
timeout = 30.0
json_output = false

[output]
verbose = false
color = true
timings = true

📊 Implementation Details

Assertion Parsing

  • Parses Dana output for assertions, logs, and errors
  • Supports both text and JSON output formats
  • Extracts line numbers and pass/fail status
  • Handles complex assertion patterns

Error Handling

  • Graceful handling of Dana command unavailability
  • Timeout management for long-running tests
  • Detailed error reporting with context
  • Proper exit codes (0=success, 1=failures, 2=errors)

Performance & Reliability

  • Efficient file discovery with pattern matching
  • Robust subprocess execution with cleanup
  • Memory-efficient parsing of large outputs
  • Comprehensive error recovery

🔧 Technical Improvements

  • Project Structure: Organized into logical modules with clear separation of concerns
  • Dependencies: Updated pyproject.toml with proper dependency management
  • Documentation: Comprehensive implementation summary and usage examples
  • Testing: Full test suite with fixtures and integration tests
  • CLI: Enhanced command-line interface with multiple options

✅ Testing Completed

  • Test discovery with various patterns
  • Dana execution with timeout and error handling
  • Assertion parsing for text and JSON output
  • Rich reporting with colors and formatting
  • pytest integration and plugin functionality
  • Configuration file loading and validation
  • CLI options and argument parsing
  • Unit tests for all modules
  • Integration tests for full pipeline
  • End-to-end tests for CLI functionality

🎉 Impact

This implementation transforms Datest from a simple project rename into a production-ready testing framework for Dana language files. The framework provides:

  • ✅ Complete test discovery and execution pipeline
  • ✅ Rich assertion parsing and reporting
  • ✅ Full pytest integration
  • ✅ Flexible configuration system
  • ✅ Comprehensive error handling
  • ✅ Extensive test coverage

The MVP is now ready for real-world usage and provides a solid foundation for future enhancements like parallel execution, coverage analysis, and advanced Dana-specific assertions.

…les, and integration tests, while updating the .gitignore to exclude new generated files. This cleanup enhances project organization and reduces clutter.
… essential commands in CLAUDE.md, streamlined Makefile for dependency management using pip, and revised pyproject.toml to reflect minimal dependencies and Python version compatibility. Enhanced README.md to clarify usage and features, focusing on .na file testing. Removed unnecessary documentation files.
- Add natest/__init__.py and natest/cli.py to fix package installation
- Update Makefile to prefer uv with pip fallback for faster dependency management
- Modernize pyproject.toml with hatchling build system and uv-style dependencies
- Add explicit version constraints and enhanced tool configurations
- Include uv-specific configurations and workspace support
- Introduced Dana test discovery functionality to locate .na files based on specified patterns.
- Added execution capabilities for discovered test files using the existing Dana runtime.
- Implemented a command-line interface for running tests with options for verbosity and discovery-only mode.
- Created a reporting system to format and display test results, including pass/fail status and detailed output.
- Added unit tests for the discovery functionality to ensure correct behavior and pattern matching.
- Included example Dana test files for validation of the testing framework.
- Rename package directory from natest/ to datest/
- Update package name in pyproject.toml from natest to datest
- Update all CLI commands from natest to datest
- Update all documentation references (README, CONTRIBUTING, CLAUDE.md)
- Update all import statements and module references
- Update configuration files (Makefile, mkdocs.yml, .gitignore)
- Update test files and fixture comments
- Update design documents and architecture references
- Maintain all functionality while rebranding to datest

This is a comprehensive rename that preserves all existing functionality
while updating the project branding from natest to datest.
