Separate Vitest suites and fail listener setup fast

[brylie]

Summary

• separate unit/coverage, protocol-integration, and benchmark Vitest projects
• centralize loopback listener startup with immediate error propagation and safe failed-start cleanup
• run each intended test suite once in CI and document the updated commands

Validation

• npm test (980 passed)
• npm run test:coverage
• npm run check
• npm run lint
• npm run test:integration -- --testNamePattern='test listener lifecycle' (2 passed)

The full listener-backed integration suite cannot bind sockets in this sandbox; it now fails immediately with the original listen EPERM error rather than timing out and emitting secondary cleanup errors.

Closes #196

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation

  • Updated testing guidance with the integration test command and clarified E2E coverage for protocol integration and browser workflows.
  • Documented that workspace capacity benchmarks are excluded from routine CI runs.

• Tests

  • Organized unit, integration, and E2E tests into dedicated commands and coverage workflows.
  • Added listener lifecycle coverage for bind failures and incomplete initialization.
  • Improved test-server cleanup, startup failure handling, and loopback connectivity for more reliable automated test execution.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change separates Vitest suites and test commands, adds shared loopback listener helpers, updates protocol and end-to-end harnesses, and makes failed setup cleanup safe. Regression tests cover bind-error propagation and shutdown before listening.

Changes

Test infrastructure

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Suite boundaries and command wiring vite.config.ts, package.json, docs/specifications/e2e-testing.md, README.md	Vitest projects and package scripts now separate unit, integration, benchmark, coverage, and end-to-end execution. Documentation reflects the updated commands and CI assignments.
Listener lifecycle helpers and integration tests/e2e/listener.ts, tests/e2e/listener.test.ts, tests/e2e/harness.ts, src/routes/mcp/server.test.ts	Shared helpers bind servers on loopback, propagate bind errors, clean up temporary listeners, and support shutdown when a server is not running. The E2E harness and MCP tests use these helpers.
Failure-safe teardown and regression coverage tests/e2e/*.test.ts, tests/e2e/*.spec.ts, tests/benchmark/workspace-capacity.test.ts	Test teardown conditionally cleans up absent harnesses. Listener tests verify asynchronous bind-error handling and pre-listen shutdown.
