 ### Python Testing
 
+- Keep every behavioral `assert` inside the test function body — never factor assertions into helper functions or fixtures. pytest's assertion rewriting (the rich failure diff) only applies to asserts located in the test module (or conftest/registered plugins), so an `assert` hidden in an ordinary helper reports an opaque failure with no useful diff.
 - When using `mocker.spy` on a class-level method (including inherited ones), the spy records the unbound call, so assertions need `ANY` as the first argument to match self: `spy.assert_called_once_with(ANY, expected_arg)`
 - Before writing new mock/spy helpers, check the `tests/unit/` folder for pre-built helpers in files like `fixtures.py` or `*mocks.py`
 - When a test needs a fixture only for its side effects (not its return value), use `@pytest.mark.usefixtures(fixture_name.__name__)` instead of adding an unused parameter with a noqa comment

 **Always show file paths to the user as absolute paths.** This applies to every file path that appears in a user-facing message — reply files this skill drafts, source files a comment is attached to (e.g. when announcing "Comment 2 of 4 — <path> line 33"), or any other file reference. VS Code only Ctrl+click-opens a path when it is fully qualified (e.g. `/workspaces/my-app/src/foo.py`), not when it is relative (`src/foo.py`). The `path` field returned by `fetch-pr-comments.py` is relative to the repo root — prepend the repo root before showing it.

Prevents re-detecting the PR from the branch when the PR number is
already known from Step 1, avoiding wrong commit links when a branch
maps to multiple PRs or --pr was used.

Prevents the skill from proceeding through Phase 1 when origin either
doesn't exist or isn't a GitHub remote, surfacing the failure at Step 1
