Update QUICK_START.md to reflect current architecture

[danieljsinclair]

Issue Type

Documentation Update

Severity

Medium - Outdated guidance

Problem Statement

QUICK_START.md references a verification system that doesn't exist in the current codebase. The document describes:

• verification_tools/ directory
• verification_system.sh script
• ci_verification.sh script
• test_cases.json configuration
• Makefile targets for testing

None of these files exist in the repository.

Current Reality

The project uses:

• GoogleTest for unit testing
• CMake-based build system
• CTest for running tests
• test/ directory with unit/, integration/, and smoke/ subdirectories

Impact

• Users following QUICK_START.md will encounter errors
• Confusing guidance for new contributors
• Outdated test execution instructions

Files Affected

• docs/QUICK_START.md - Needs complete rewrite to reflect current test architecture

Recommended Actions

1. Update QUICK_START.md to describe current GoogleTest/CMake setup
2. Remove references to non-existent verification system
3. Document actual test execution commands:
   • cmake --build build --target smoke_tests
   • cd build && ctest --output-on-failure
4. Add guidance for running specific test suites
5. Document test organization (unit, integration, smoke)

Acceptance Criteria

• All references to verification_system.sh removed
• Test execution commands are accurate for current build system
• No references to non-existent files/directories
• Guide works for new developers
