-# Version Support Test Suite Documentation
-
-This document describes the comprehensive test suite created for the versioned secrets functionality in the Secret Manager.
-
-## Test Files Created
-
-### 1. `internal/secret/version_test.go`
-Core unit tests for version functionality:
-
-- **TestGenerateVersionName**: Tests version name generation with date and serial format
-- **TestGenerateVersionNameMaxSerial**: Tests the 999 versions per day limit
-- **TestNewSecretVersion**: Tests secret version object creation
-- **TestSecretVersionSave**: Tests saving a version with encryption
-- **TestSecretVersionLoadMetadata**: Tests loading and decrypting version metadata
-- **TestSecretVersionGetValue**: Tests retrieving and decrypting version values
-- **TestListVersions**: Tests listing versions in reverse chronological order
-- **TestGetCurrentVersion**: Tests retrieving the current version via symlink
-- **TestSetCurrentVersion**: Tests updating the current version symlink
-- **TestVersionMetadataTimestamps**: Tests timestamp pointer consistency
-
-### 2. `internal/vault/secrets_version_test.go`
-Integration tests for vault-level version operations:
-
-- **TestVaultAddSecretCreatesVersion**: Tests that AddSecret creates proper version structure
-- **TestVaultAddSecretMultipleVersions**: Tests creating multiple versions with force flag
-- **TestVaultGetSecretVersion**: Tests retrieving specific versions and current version
-- **TestVaultVersionTimestamps**: Tests timestamp logic (notBefore/notAfter) across versions
-- **TestVaultGetNonExistentVersion**: Tests error handling for invalid versions
-- **TestUpdateVersionMetadata**: Tests metadata update functionality
-
-### 3. `internal/cli/version_test.go`
-CLI command tests:
-
-- **TestListVersionsCommand**: Tests `secret version list` command output
-- **TestListVersionsNonExistentSecret**: Tests error handling for missing secrets
-- **TestPromoteVersionCommand**: Tests `secret version promote` command
-- **TestPromoteNonExistentVersion**: Tests error handling for invalid promotion
-- **TestGetSecretWithVersion**: Tests `secret get --version` flag functionality
-- **TestVersionCommandStructure**: Tests command structure and help text
-- **TestListVersionsEmptyOutput**: Tests edge case with no versions
-
-### 4. `internal/vault/integration_version_test.go`
-Comprehensive integration tests:
-
-- **TestVersionIntegrationWorkflow**: End-to-end workflow testing
-  - Creating initial version with proper metadata
-  - Creating multiple versions with timestamp updates
-  - Retrieving specific versions by name
-  - Promoting old versions to current
-  - Testing version serial number limits (999/day)
-  - Error cases and edge conditions
-
-- **TestVersionConcurrency**: Tests concurrent read operations
-
-- **TestVersionCompatibility**: Tests handling of legacy non-versioned secrets
-
-## Key Test Scenarios Covered
-
-### Version Creation
-- First version gets `notBefore = epoch + 1 second`
-- Subsequent versions update previous version's `notAfter` timestamp
-- New version's `notBefore` equals previous version's `notAfter`
-- Version names follow `YYYYMMDD.NNN` format
-- Maximum 999 versions per day enforced
-
-### Version Retrieval
-- Get current version via symlink
-- Get specific version by name
-- Empty version parameter returns current
-- Non-existent versions return appropriate errors
-
-### Version Management
-- List versions in reverse chronological order
-- Promote any version to current
-- Promotion doesn't modify timestamps
-- Metadata remains encrypted and intact
-
-### Data Integrity
-- Each version has independent encryption keys
-- Metadata encryption protects version history
-- Long-term key required for all operations
-- Concurrent reads handled safely
-
-### Backward Compatibility
-- Legacy secrets without versions detected
-- Appropriate error messages for incompatible operations
-
-## Test Utilities Created
-
-### Helper Functions
-- `createTestVaultWithKey()`: Sets up vault with long-term key for testing
-- `setupTestVault()`: CLI test helper for vault initialization
-- Mock implementations for isolated testing
-
-### Test Environment
-- Uses in-memory filesystem (afero.MemMapFs)
-- Consistent test mnemonic for reproducible keys
-- Proper cleanup and isolation between tests
-
-## Running the Tests
-
-Run all version-related tests:
-```bash
-go test ./internal/... -run "Test.*Version.*" -v
-```
-
-Run specific test suites:
-```bash
-# Core version tests
-go test ./internal/secret -run "Test.*Version.*" -v
-
-# Vault integration tests
-go test ./internal/vault -run "Test.*Version.*" -v
-
-# CLI tests
-go test ./internal/cli -run "Test.*Version.*" -v
-```
-
-Run the comprehensive integration test:
-```bash
-go test ./internal/vault -run TestVersionIntegrationWorkflow -v
-```
-
-## Test Coverage Areas

+// - TestNewSecretVersion: Tests secret version object creation
+// - TestSecretVersionSave: Tests saving a version with encryption
+// - TestSecretVersionLoadMetadata: Tests loading and decrypting version metadata

+// - TestGetCurrentVersion: Tests retrieving the current version via symlink
+// - TestSetCurrentVersion: Tests updating the current version symlink
+// - TestVersionMetadataTimestamps: Tests timestamp pointer consistency
+//
+// Key Test Scenarios:
+// - Version Creation: First version gets notBefore = epoch + 1 second
+// - Subsequent versions update previous version's notAfter timestamp
+// - New version's notBefore equals previous version's notAfter
+// - Version names follow YYYYMMDD.NNN format
+// - Maximum 999 versions per day enforced
+//
+// Version Retrieval:
+// - Get current version via symlink
+// - Get specific version by name
+// - Empty version parameter returns current
+// - Non-existent versions return appropriate errors
+//
+// Data Integrity:
+// - Each version has independent encryption keys
+// - Metadata encryption protects version history
