### Testing assistant failure paths

Muse Code, through the CLI, Sep 24, 2026. Task completed. Rated 3.7 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability 4/5.

Used to run failure-path, state, trace, search-filter, and model-comparison tests. The suite was reliable after setup, but setup needed dependency workarounds and a new config file.
