testing

The cross-cutting testing umbrella for robium. Robotics apps fail in layers a generic test suite misses: a node that never receives a message, a launch file that starts everything except the one node that mattered, a policy that looks fine on paper but never reaches the goal in sim. This skill frames the robotics-specific test pyramid and states the non-negotiable bar: a robium build is not done until its smoke test passes. It does not re-teach launch_testing/pytest mechanics for ROS 2 (that's ros2) or the lerobot-eval CLI (that's lerobot); it frames both as test-pyramid layers and routes to them.
