-# Integration Tests
-
-This directory contains integration-oriented test specs.
-
-## Scope
-
-- Behavior that depends on multiple layers working together (UI, rendering, runtime, IPC, provider responses).
-- Regressions that are hard to catch with unit tests only.
-
-## Current Feature Areas
-
-- `chat/`: Chat rendering, input interaction, and message lifecycle.
