ref(test)!: revamp test infra (#73)

* feat(linter): add zsh syntax checker

* fix(ci): add luarocks bin to PATH

* fix: revert ci change

* feat(linter): add cpplint C++ linter

* feat(linter): add cpplint C++ linter

* ci: rewrite workflow with parallel jobs and modern actions

replaces monolithic test job with parallel jobs grouped by package manager.
each job installs only what it needs and runs its specific tests.

- uses nvim-neorocks/nvim-busted-action for neovim + vusted setup
- updates all actions to latest versions (checkout@v4, setup-python@v5, etc)
- adds coverage job to warn when tools are missing tests
- removes setup.sh and env.sh (no longer needed)

* test: update expectations for guard.nvim diagnostic format changes

- Strip _extmark_id in linter helper (internal nvim field)
- Update tests to use separate code field instead of message suffix
- Update end_col values to match guard.nvim behavior
- Update rustfmt expected output for new import formatting style
- Update buf formatter expected output (compact style)
- Add missing W292 diagnostic to flake8 test
- Remove buf linter test (requires buf.yaml config)

* refactor(test): reorganize tests by package manager

Move tests from test/{formatter,linter}/ to test/{pip,npm,go,rust,lua,binary,clang,haskell}/
to allow CI to use glob patterns (busted test/pip/*_spec.lua) instead of
listing each test file explicitly.

This means adding new tools no longer requires workflow changes.

* fix(test): update checkmake expected output for new phonydeclared rule

* fix(ci): run clang tests separately to avoid state pollution

Run each clang test file in its own busted process to prevent
test state from leaking between clang-format and clang-tidy tests.

* fix(test): revert checkmake linter, fix test order

Revert checkmake linter to original fn-based approach.
Update test to match actual diagnostic output order.

* fix(test): restore swiftformat test with proper naming

Original test was named swiftformat.lua (missing _spec suffix)
so busted never ran it. Restored with correct naming and
added swiftformat installation to CI.

* fix(ci): rename swiftformat binary after extraction

* fix(test): restore buf linter test and fix formatter expectation

* fix(buf): use fn approach for linter, fname for formatter

* Revert "fix(buf): use fn approach for linter, fname for formatter"

This reverts commit 51d94b1.

* fix(buf): simpler test input, formatter uses fname not stdin

* Revert "fix(buf): simpler test input, formatter uses fname not stdin"

This reverts commit 3b5c3af.

* fix(ci): remove buf tests (fix in separate PR)

* fix: move cpplint to pip, zsh to binary

* refactor(test)!: replace async test infra with synchronous execution

Old test helpers used guard.nvim's async pipeline with a hardcoded
vim.wait(3000), causing flaky CI failures. New approach runs tools
directly via vim.system():wait() — zero timing issues, tests real
tool output, no dependency on guard.nvim's format/filetype modules.

This commit strips all existing tests and CI jobs down to a single
MVP (black formatter + flake8 linter) to validate the approach.
Remaining tools will be re-added in a follow-up PR.

BREAKING CHANGE: test helpers renamed from fmt_helper/lint_helper
to a unified test/helper.lua with run_fmt(), run_lint(), get_linter()

 - Add your config to `formatter.lua` or `linter/<tool-name>.lua`, if it's a linter don't forget to export it in `linter/init.lua`
-- Write a test. If it's a formatter, show that the config works by giving an example input and verify that the file did got formatted as intended. For example:
+- Write a test in the appropriate `test/<category>/` directory. Tests run tools synchronously via `vim.system():wait()`, bypassing guard.nvim's async pipeline.
+
+Formatter example:
 
 ```lua
 describe('black', function()
   it('can format', function()
-    -- pre-test setup
-    local ft = require('guard.filetype')
-    ft('python'):fmt('black')
-    -- Giving example input to the helper
-    -- the helper creates a new buffer with it, formats, and returns the formatted output
-    local formatted = require('test.formatter.helper').test_with('python', {
-      -- The input code should somewhat reflect the filetype
+    local formatted = require('test.helper').run_fmt('black', 'python', {
       [[def foo(n):]],
       [[    if n in         (1,2,3):]],
       [[        return n+1]],
-      [[a, b = 1,    2]],
-      [[b, a =     a, b]],
-      [[print(  f"The factorial of {a} is: {foo(a)}")]],
     })
-    -- Show that the input is indeed formatted as intended
     assert.are.same({
       [[def foo(n):]],
       [[    if n in (1, 2, 3):]],
       [[        return n + 1]],
-      [[]],
-      [[]],
-      [[a, b = 1, 2]],
-      [[b, a = a, b]],
-      [[print(f"The factorial of {a} is: {foo(a)}")]],
     }, formatted)
   end)
 end)
 ```
 
-- Or if it's a linter, show that the linter's output is converted correctly into neovim diagnostics

-describe('selene', function()
+describe('flake8', function()
   it('can lint', function()
-    -- pre-test setup
-    local helper = require('test.linter.helper')
-    local ns = helper.namespace
-    local ft = require('guard.filetype')
-    ft('lua'):lint('selene')
-    require('guard').setup()
-    -- Giving example input to the helper
-    -- the helper creates a new buffer with it, requires lint, and returns the diagnostics
-    local buf, diagnostics = require('test.linter.helper').test_with('lua', {
-      -- Make sure the input actually has some problems that the linter detects
-      [[local M = {}]],
-      [[function M.foo()]],
-      [[  print("foo")]],
-      [[end]],
-      [[U.bar()]],
-      [[return M]],
+    local helper = require('test.helper')
+    local buf, diagnostics = helper.run_lint('flake8', 'python', {
+      [[import os]],
     })
-    -- Show that the diagnostics is indeed valid
-    assert.are.same({
-      {
-        bufnr = buf,
-        col = 0,
-        end_col = 0,
-        end_lnum = 4,
-        lnum = 4,
-        message = '`U` is not defined [undefined_variable]',
-        -- sometimes the namespace is not fixed
-        namespace = ns,
-        severity = 1,
-        source = 'selene',
-      },
-    }, diagnostics)
+    assert.is_true(#diagnostics > 0)
+    for _, d in ipairs(diagnostics) do
+      assert.equal(buf, d.bufnr)
+      assert.equal('flake8', d.source)

-- Run the test and make sure it passes

+- Add your tool to CI in `.github/workflows/ci.yaml` under the appropriate job

-
-  vusted ./test/formatter/<tool-name>_spec.lua
-  # or
-  vusted ./test/linter/<tool-name>\_spec.lua
-
-  ok 1 - <tool-name> can format
-  ok 1 - <tool-name> can lint
+  # requires: neovim, lua 5.1, luarocks, busted, nlua
+  # also requires guard.nvim cloned: git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/nvimdev/guard.nvim && mv guard.nvim/lua/guard lua/
+  make test-pip  # or whichever category
   ```
-
-- Modify `test/setup.sh` so that CI installs your tool
-
-- Optionally, format the code with stylua
+- Format with stylua before submitting:
   ```shell
   stylua .
