+# Quick Task 260403-qhw: Add conda environment.yml and CI test Summary
+
+Conda install path enabled via environment.yml at repo root and validated end-to-end in CI using conda-incubator/setup-miniconda with module import checks and unit test run.
+
+## Tasks Completed
+
+| Task | Name | Commit | Files |
+|------|------|--------|-------|
+| 1 | Create environment.yml and add conda-test CI job | 5e286fe | environment.yml, .github/workflows/ci.yml |
+
+## What Was Built
+
+**environment.yml** — Conda environment specification at repo root:
+- Environment name: `matlab-mcp`
+- Channels: conda-forge, defaults
+- Python 3.12 managed by conda
+- pip subsection installs local package with `.[dev,monitoring]` extras (editable install)
+
+**conda-test CI job** — New job in `.github/workflows/ci.yml`:
+- `needs: lint` (consistent with all other test jobs)
+- `runs-on: ubuntu-latest`
+- Uses `conda-incubator/setup-miniconda@v3` with `environment-file: environment.yml`
+- Verifies server, auth, and hitl module imports
+- Runs full unit test suite excluding MATLAB engine tests and integration tests
+- All run steps use `shell: bash -el {0}` for conda environment activation
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+None - plan executed exactly as written.
+
+## Known Stubs
+
+None.
+
+## Self-Check: PASSED
+
+- environment.yml: EXISTS at repo root
+- conda-test job in CI: CONFIRMED (grep verified)
+- commit 5e286fe: EXISTS (git log confirmed)
+- Both YAML files parse without errors: CONFIRMED
