+
+The project includes a sophisticated regression testing system to ensure stability:

+  "scion_tests": ["test/scion_tests/basic/basic0_test.exs", ...],

+}

+
+### **Wildcard Support**
+- Supports glob patterns like `test/sc/**/*_test.exs`
+- Automatically expands to all matching test files
+- Maintains clean, maintainable test registry
+
+### **CI Integration**
+- Regression tests run before full test suite in CI
+- Prevents merging code that breaks core functionality
+- Fast feedback loop (22 tests vs 290 total tests)
+
+### **Local Development**
+```bash
+# Check current regression status
+mix test.regression
+
+# Update regression baseline after adding features
+mix test.baseline
+# Manually add newly passing tests to test/passing_tests.json
+
+# Pre-push hook automatically runs regression tests
