+## Test Modes
+
+The lifecycle tests can run in two complementary modes:
+
+### 1. API Integration Mode (Default)
+
+Tests call lifecycle APIs but don't require a running daemon. This validates:
+
+- API signatures and integration patterns
+- Correct API usage in application code
+- Language bindings (Rust and C++) work correctly
+
+**When to use**: CI/CD pipelines, quick feedback, API contract validation
+
+### 2. Daemon Integration Mode
+
+Tests run with an actual Launch Manager daemon instance. This validates:
+
+- End-to-end supervision and monitoring behavior
+- Process recovery and health checks
+- Runtime configuration management
+
+**When to use**: Integration validation, E2E testing, behavior verification

-## Coverage Analysis
-
-### Test Implementation Characteristics
-
-The test suite implements several design patterns worth noting:
-
-1. Dual language implementation (Rust and C++) ensures API parity across both ecosystems
-2. Uses actual lifecycle and health monitoring APIs from `@score_lifecycle_health` rather than mocks
-3. Three-layer architecture separates Python orchestration from Rust/C++ implementation
-4. Tests function without requiring a running Launch Manager daemon (graceful degradation)
-5. Structured logging differs by language: JSON via `tracing` for Rust, plain text for C++
-
-### Technical Observations
-
-**API Integration Approach:**
-
-The tests validate API signatures and integration patterns rather than end-to-end daemon behavior. When no daemon is present, lifecycle client calls return empty results (C++) or `false` (Rust) without panicking. This allows tests to verify that application code correctly uses the lifecycle APIs.
-
-**OCI Compliance Coverage:**
-
-Requirement `feat_req__lifecycle__oci_compliant` (OCI Specification v1.2.0) is tested through `test_configuration_management.py` via the `runtime_config_compat` test. This test validates runtime configuration compliance with OCI standards. Additional documentation could clarify the specific OCI v1.2.0 features validated.
-
-### Potential Enhancements
-
-1. **Requirement Traceability**: Adding requirement IDs as pytest markers would enable automated coverage reporting:
-
-   ```python
-   @pytest.mark.requirement("feat_req__lifecycle__launch_support")
-   def test_process_launching_rust(self, rust_scenario):
-       ...
-   ```
-
-2. **Coverage Automation**: Generate machine-readable coverage reports linking tests to requirements for CI/CD integration
-
-3. **Daemon Integration**: The current approach focuses on API integration. Future work could add tests against a running Launch Manager daemon to validate supervision, recovery, and state management behavior
-
-4. **OCI Compliance Documentation**: Explicitly document which OCI v1.2.0 specification sections are validated by `runtime_config_compat`

-## Summary
-
-This test suite covers 85 of 92 lifecycle requirements (92% coverage) and validates API integration patterns for both Rust and C++ implementations. The tests verify that applications can correctly call lifecycle management APIs and integrate with the S-CORE lifecycle framework. The test architecture enables running without a daemon, making tests suitable for CI environments where full daemon infrastructure may not be available.

+**Summary**: This test suite covers 85 of 92 lifecycle requirements (92% coverage) and validates API integration patterns for both Rust and C++ implementations. Tests run with Bazel for both API integration mode (fast CI feedback) and daemon integration mode (comprehensive end-to-end validation). The dual-language implementation ensures both ecosystems have equal support and validates that lifecycle APIs work correctly across languages.
