Georges-Antoine AssiandClaude Opus 5 e122209253 docs(agents): never run the full backend suite locally
A bare `uv run pytest` over backend/ takes 20+ minutes and floods the
context of an agent that only changed a handful of modules, so AGENTS.md
now tells agents to select the tests affected by the diff and leave
full-suite coverage to CI.

The three places that documented the pytest command all offered "or all
with -vv" as an equally valid option, which undercut the new rule, so
they now point at affected files only. The `[path/file]` placeholder
became `<path/file>` in the same pass: square brackets read as an
optional argument, which invited the bare invocation.

Never run the full backend test suite locally

A bare uv run pytest (or pytest -vv) over backend/ takes 20+ minutes and burns a huge number of tokens on output. Don't do it, even to "double check" at the end.

Instead, select the tests affected by the change and run only those:

cd backend
uv run pytest tests/path/to/test_file.py                # one file
uv run pytest tests/path/to/test_file.py::test_name     # one test
uv run pytest tests/handler/ tests/endpoints/           # affected areas
uv run pytest -k "scan or queue"                        # by name pattern

Pick the targets from the diff: the test file mirroring each changed module (backend/<area>/x.py → backend/tests/<area>/test_x.py), plus the tests of the callers of anything whose signature or behavior you changed (grep for the symbol).

CI runs the whole suite on the PR (pytest.yml, MariaDB + PostgreSQL). That is the place for full-suite coverage; local runs stay scoped.
