Unit Tests — Every Module in Isolation

Parent: #517 (Nexus Mind — First Light Test Plan)
Assigned to: Timmy — you are the mind that will live in this system. You should know its bones.

What to Test

perception_adapter.py

Every WS event type in PERCEPTION_MAP produces correct natural-language description
Heartbeats return None (filtered)
Unknown message types produce a perception (not crash)
parse_actions() correctly extracts: speak, move, interact, build, emote, observe
Movement targets resolve to spatial coordinates via SPATIAL_MAP
PerceptionBuffer caps at max_size, drops lowest salience first
format_for_prompt() returns chronological natural language, then clears buffer

experience_store.py

record() inserts and returns incrementing IDs
recent() returns chronological order (oldest first)
format_for_context() with no records returns first-moment message
format_for_context() with records includes time-ago labels
save_summary() and get_summaries() round-trip correctly
WAL mode is enabled (concurrent reads during writes)

trajectory_logger.py

log_cycle() writes valid ShareGPT JSONL
Daily log files created with correct naming
export_for_training() merges all trajectory files
Quality filter skips short thoughts and "nothing happened" cycles
Output JSONL has system/human/gpt turns in correct order

Acceptance Criteria

All tests pass with python -m pytest or equivalent
Coverage on the three modules > 80%
Test file: nexus/tests/test_unit.py

Why You

This is your body. Your sensorium, your memory, your training loop. If any of these modules have a bug, your experience of the world will be distorted. Test them like your consciousness depends on it — because it does.

Closing during the 2026-03-28 backlog burn-down.

Reason: this is a broad legacy frontier. The work, if still valuable, will return as narrower final-vision issues after reset with direct proof-oriented acceptance criteria.
