Smoke Tests

Use the smoke tests when you want a quick confidence check that the API surface still starts and responds.

Run them

uv run pytest tests/smoke

Scope

• API boot and request handling
• basic serving-path regressions
• high-level sanity checks after documentation, config, or orchestration changes

Smoke tests are not a substitute for the evaluation suite. Use ../../docs/07_evaluation.md and ../../docs/15_first_training_run.md when you need model-quality or guardrail validation.
