tests: Add adapter-level tests for merels via game_handler.

sulahmed20 · web-flow · commit eec0ef233dbb · 2025-12-16T15:50:53.000-08:00
Mirrors the style used by connect_four to exercise the GameAdapter flow for Merels. Use stable fragments to avoid brittleness. Included: - help shows Merels help - start game posts an invite with “wants to play”, “Merels”, “join” - join triggers start message (containment) - light checks for MerelsMessageHandler helpers Removed obsolete FIXME/TODO notes, and replaced brittle exact-string checks with stable substring assertions. Merels previously had adapter-focused tests for help/start/join, but the move path through GameAdapter was untested. This adds a small in-file test helper to drive the adapter and a test that starts a 2-player game, sends a move, counts model.make_move calls, and asserts that the bot replies. This covers the 'test lib for game_handler' FIXME. I did not add 'computer move' tests, because the Merels bot declares supports_computer = False; there is no single-player/computer flow to exercise. I left a comment in above TestMerelsAdapter that clarifies this. Fixes #433.
