David Snelling 94c88e128c **docs: remove outdated statistics-related documentation and add standards**
- **Removed Files**:
  - Deleted outdated statistics documentation files (`statistics.md`, `statistics-flush-solution.md`, `statistics-summary.md`) to clean up the repository and avoid confusion.

- **Added Standards**:
  - Introduced `DOCUMENTATION_STANDARDS.md` to outline naming conventions and troubleshooting practices for more consistent and maintainable project documentation.

- **Tests**:
  - Added a new test file `edge-cases.test.ts` to verify handling of edge cases, ensuring robust behavior against boundary values and invalid inputs.

**Purpose**: Cleans up deprecated documentation while introducing concrete standards for maintaining and updating documentation. Enhances test coverage for unusual or boundary inputs, improving overall system resilience.

# Pretty Test Reporter for Brainy
This document describes the visually enhanced test reporter added to the Brainy project.
## Overview
The Pretty Test Reporter provides a visually appealing summary of test results with colors, symbols, and formatted output. It enhances the standard Vitest output with a clear, easy-to-read summary at the end of test runs.
## Features
- 🎨 **Colorful Output**: Uses colors to distinguish between passed, failed, and skipped tests
- 📊 **Tabular Format**: Displays test results in a clean, tabular format
- 📝 **Detailed Summary**: Shows overall test statistics and file-by-file breakdown
-**Error Reporting**: Clearly lists any failed tests with their error messages
- ⏱️ **Timing Information**: Displays test duration in a human-readable format
## Usage
To run tests with the pretty reporter, use the following npm script:
```bash
npm run test:report:pretty
```
You can also specify specific test files:
```bash
npm run test:report:pretty -- tests/core.test.ts
```
## Example Output
```

## Implementation Details
The pretty reporter is implemented as a custom Vitest reporter in `src/testing/prettySummaryReporter.ts`. It:
1. Collects test information during the test run
2. Tracks passed, failed, and skipped tests
3. Organizes results by test file
4. Generates a formatted summary at the end of the test run
## Configuration
The reporter is configured in `vitest.config.ts` and works alongside the default Vitest reporter and JSON reporter. This provides both the standard output during test execution and the enhanced summary at the end.
## Customization
If you need to modify the reporter's appearance or behavior, you can edit the `prettySummaryReporter.ts` file. The main visual elements are in the `printSummary` method.
