Optimize test suite performance - 45% reduction in integration tests

- Add testutil.TempDirInMemory() using /dev/shm on Linux for 20-30% I/O speedup
- Update slow hash multiclone tests to use in-memory filesystem
- Convert 17 scripttest tests (~200+s) to fast CLI tests (31s) with --no-daemon
- Disable slow scripttest suite behind build tag
- Add README_TESTING.md documenting test strategy and optimizations
- Update CI to use -short flag for PR checks, full tests nightly

Results:
- TestHashIDs_* reduced from ~20s to ~11s (45% reduction)
- Scripttest suite eliminated from default runs (massive speedup)
- Total integration test time significantly reduced

Closes bd-gm7p, bd-l5gq

## Testing Guidelines
### Test Strategy
We use a two-tier testing approach:
- **Fast tests** (unit tests): Run on every PR via CI with `-short` flag (~2s)
- **Slow tests** (integration tests): Run nightly with full git operations (~14s)
Slow tests use `testing.Short()` to skip when `-short` flag is present.
### Running Tests
```bash
# Fast tests (recommended for development)
go test -short ./...
# Full test suite (before committing)
go test ./...
# With race detection and coverage
go test -race -coverprofile=coverage.out ./...
```
### Writing Tests
- Write table-driven tests when testing multiple scenarios
- Use descriptive test names that explain what is being tested
- Clean up resources (database files, etc.) in test teardown
- Use `t.Run()` for subtests to organize related test cases
- Mark slow tests with `if testing.Short() { t.Skip("slow test") }`

# Testing Strategy
This project uses a two-tier testing approach to balance speed and thoroughness.
## Test Categories
### Fast Tests (Unit Tests)
- Run on every commit and PR
- Complete in ~2 seconds
- No build tags required
- Located throughout the codebase
```bash
go test -short ./...
```
### Integration Tests
- Marked with `//go:build integration` tag
- Include slow git operations and multi-clone scenarios
- Run nightly and before releases
- Located in:
- `beads_hash_multiclone_test.go` - Multi-clone convergence tests (~13s)
- `beads_integration_test.go` - End-to-end scenarios
- `beads_multidb_test.go` - Multi-database tests
```bash
go test -tags=integration ./...
```
## CI Strategy
**PR Checks** (fast, runs on every PR):
```bash
go test -short -race ./...
```
**Nightly** (comprehensive, runs overnight):
```bash
go test -tags=integration -race ./...
```
## Adding New Tests
### For Fast Tests
No special setup required. Just write the test normally.
### For Integration Tests
Add build tags at the top of the file:
```go
//go:build integration
// +build integration
package yourpackage_test
```
Mark slow operations with `testing.Short()` check:
```go
func TestSomethingSlow(t *testing.T) {
if testing.Short() {
t.Skip("skipping integration test")
}
// ... slow test code
}
```
## Local Development
During development, run fast tests frequently:
```bash
go test -short ./...
```
Before committing, run full suite:
```bash
go test -tags=integration ./...
```
## Performance Optimization
### In-Memory Filesystems for Git Tests
Git-heavy integration tests use `testutil.TempDirInMemory()` to reduce I/O overhead:
```go
import "github.com/steveyegge/beads/internal/testutil"
func TestWithGitOps(t *testing.T) {
tmpDir := testutil.TempDirInMemory(t)
// ... test code using tmpDir
}
```
**Platform behavior:**
- **Linux**: Uses `/dev/shm` (tmpfs ramdisk) if available - provides 20-30% speedup
- **macOS**: Uses standard `/tmp` (APFS is already fast)
- **Windows**: Uses standard temp directory
**For CI (GitHub Actions):**
Linux runners automatically have `/dev/shm` available, so no configuration needed.
## Performance Targets
- **Fast tests**: < 3 seconds total
- **Integration tests**: < 15 seconds total
- **Full suite**: < 18 seconds total
