The tests/ directory held 50 laboratory programs and no tests. They model
channels, run hundreds of repetitions and write CSV, PNG and reports;
calling that a test suite blocked introducing a real one, because any
pytest run would have collected the labs and re-executed every
experiment.
- move all 50 lab programs to experiments/ with git mv, preserving history
- rewrite the 38 cross-imports between labs from tests.labNNN to
experiments.labNNN
- leave tests/ empty for actual fast checks of protocol/
- point quick_gate and the hook at the new layout and add experiments/ to
the syntax sweep
- update the paths quoted in the Lab042 specification and the verifier
agent definition
This also defuses the import-time work finding without touching 41 files:
the labs still create directories and write files on import, but nothing
imports them now except the gate, which does so deliberately.
Gate passes: syntax clean, protocol imports, 15 lab modules import, 2
functional suites run.
