`yarn test:ci` works better with tools like Gemini CLI because it will run tests once and exit. `yarn test` runs Jest in watch mode, which can cause CLI agents to hang while awaiting test output. Signed-off-by: Phillip Rak <rak.phillip@gmail.com>

yarn test.Occurred changes and/or fixed issues
yarn test:cioveryarn testTechnical notes summary
yarn test:ciworks better with tools like Gemini CLI because it will run tests once and exit.yarn testruns Jest in watch mode, which can cause CLI agents to hang while awaiting test output.Areas or cases that should be tested
Try instructing Gemini CLI to write a simple sanity test. When the test runs to validate that it passes, the CLI should gather the results and finish its task.
Areas which could experience regressions
Previously, when running
yarn test, Gemini CLI could hang indefinitely while waiting for the watched tests to complete. This single run approach should improve the overall behavior.Screenshot/Video
