test: prune low-value tests suite-wide (wave 1) — 46,820 → 28,106 test functions
Systematic prune per AGENTS.md test policy, one pass over every major
test tree (gateway, hermes_cli, tools, agent, run_agent, plugins, cli,
cron, tui_gateway, honcho/openviking, root-level):

- DELETE: source-reading tests (read_text/getsource on prod files),
  change-detector tests (exact catalog counts, model-name snapshots,
  config version literals), mock-echo tests (assert a mock returns what
  it was told), assertion-free/trivial tests, near-duplicate
  parametrizations (boundaries + one representative kept), async/sync
  twin duplicates, cosmetic within-file variations.
- KEEP (mandatory): security/redaction/approval guards, message-role
  alternation invariants, prompt-caching/deterministic-call-id
  invariants, issue-number regression tests (deduped), E2E tests.
- 6 test files deleted outright (script-style/no-assert or fully
  redundant); conftest.py, fakes/, fixtures/ untouched.
- tests/acp/conftest.py added: autouse fixture stubs the live
  models.dev/GitHub/Copilot/Anthropic inventory fetches that ACP server
  tests performed on every session create — test_server.py 147s → 3.4s,
  and the tests are now genuinely hermetic.
- Sleep-based slowness shrunk where safe (codex_ttfb_watchdog,
  compression_concurrent_fork, etc.); no wall-clock assertion tightened.

Verification: full hermetic suite via scripts/run_tests.sh —
2439 files, 31,130 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 flaky retries, 315s wall
(baseline: 583s wall, 13,564s subprocess CPU).

"""Regression tests for the list-shape AttributeError guards in
``agent.background_review.summarize_background_review_actions`` (#59437).
The outer ``_run_review_in_thread`` used to crash with
``'list' object has no attribute 'get'`` every time a tool response
returned a list (or any non-dict) where the summarizer expected a
dict — most commonly the ``_change`` field in skill_manage responses
or one of the entries in a memory operations list. The crash took
down the entire background review, discarding every other successful
action that the fork had completed.
What this module guards:
A. ``summarize_background_review_actions`` no longer raises when
``data["_change"]`` is a list. It returns the rest of the
actions normally.
B. ``summarize_background_review_actions`` no longer raises when
``operations`` is a non-list (string, int, None). It treats the
field as empty.
C. ``summarize_background_review_actions`` no longer raises when
``operations[i]`` is a non-dict (string, None). It skips that
entry but processes the rest.
D. ``summarize_background_review_actions`` no longer raises when
``call_details.get(tcid)`` returns a non-dict (e.g. None or a
stray scalar). It coerces to ``{}``.
E. The caller in ``_run_review_in_thread`` no longer aborts the
whole review on an unrelated summarize exception; partial valid
actions are surfaced.
The tests run without pytest (handoff from a prior pattern): they use
plain ``assert`` and a small standalone runner. Importing the module
exercises the new code paths without booting the LLM stack — there
are no I/O or model dependencies in the unit-of-work being tested.
