Mandatory workflow

Before writing any test, complete these steps in order:

1. Read the controller (.py) — identify hooks, validations, computed fields, whitelisted methods
2. Read the schema (.json) — identify fields, child tables, link fields, is_submittable, mandatory fields
3. Write the test (test_{doctype}.py) in the same doctype folder
4. Run with bench run-tests --module "app_name.module.doctype.my_doctype.test_my_doctype"
