# =====================================================================
# 1. Test Strategy Summary
# =====================================================================
# Core scenarios tested:
#
# A. Happy Path:
# - Verifying metadata attributes (permissions, ownership, size,
# hard links, inode, device) map exactly to filesystem ground truth.
#
# B. Boundary Conditions:
# - Testing empty files (0 bytes) for correct apparent size and allocation.
# - Testing file permissions changes (e.g. read-only, executable) and
# making sure the parsed octal/symbolic codes match.
# - Testing multiple hard links (count > 1).
#
# C. Edge Cases & OS Portability:
# - Extended attributes (xattr) support, handling platforms where xattr
# is not present or supported on the active file system.
# - Graceful system identity fallbacks for UID/GID names when passwd/group
# databases are unavailable or running on non-Unix systems.
#
# D. Error Handling:
# - Accessing non-existent paths (CLI validation errors).
# =====================================================================
# =====================================================================
# 2. Mocking/Setup Requirements
# =====================================================================
# - Filesystem sandbox: Uses `tests/env/` to dynamically create files
# with specific mode bits, content, and links.
# - No external network/API mocking is required.
# - OS-specific conditional blocks handle platforms (e.g., Windows)
# where POSIX ownership resolution or xattr is not native.
