+#   1. jest-integration  – Jest tests against the server's data methods (needs MongoDB)
+#   2. mocha-unit        – Existing Mocha/Chai tests in tests/ and tests/utils/
+#
+# Prerequisites (Gitea repository secrets):
+#   DB_HOSTS        – MongoDB host(s), e.g. "127.0.0.1:27017"
+#   DB_NAME         – Must contain "test", e.g. "agmission_test"
+#   DB_USR          – MongoDB username
+#   DB_PWD          – MongoDB password
+#   DB_AUTH_SRC     – MongoDB auth source (default: "admin")
+#   TOKEN_SECRET    – JWT secret used by the server's auth helpers
