Enhance test documentation and pre-commit hook for clarity

[jfrench9]

Summary

This PR improves the developer experience by enhancing test documentation and strengthening the pre-commit hook workflow. The changes focus on making testing guidance clearer and ensuring code quality checks run more efficiently before commits are pushed.

Key Accomplishments

• Improved test documentation: Significantly expanded the test command documentation (.claude/commands/test.md) with clearer instructions, better structure, and more comprehensive guidance — growing from a leaner document to a more thorough reference (+37 lines net)
• Enhanced pre-commit hook: Added new checks and logic to the pre-commit hook to improve the development feedback loop, catching potential issues earlier in the workflow

Changes Breakdown

Test Documentation (.claude/commands/test.md)

• Expanded documentation for improved clarity and developer onboarding
• Added more detailed instructions and context for running tests
• Refined existing content for better readability and efficiency

Pre-commit Hook (.githooks/pre-commit)

• Added new validation steps to the pre-commit hook
• Improved the automated checks that run before each commit to catch issues earlier in the development cycle

Breaking Changes

None. These changes are additive improvements to developer tooling and documentation.

Testing Notes

• Verify the pre-commit hook executes correctly by staging changes and committing — confirm that all new checks run as expected
• Review the updated test documentation for accuracy and completeness
• Ensure the pre-commit hook does not introduce unnecessary friction or false positives in the commit workflow

Infrastructure Considerations

• Teams should ensure their local git configuration is set up to use the project's custom hooks directory so the enhanced pre-commit hook is picked up automatically
• These changes affect the local development workflow only and have no impact on CI/CD pipelines or production infrastructure
• New team members will benefit from the improved documentation when onboarding to the testing workflow
