5. Step 5 — Add component tests

What it unlocks

Component-level verification — Your module is verified in isolation as a component — its public interfaces are tested against their specification, independently of the other modules and of the full integration images.

Warning

Currently missing — needs to be introduced. There is no component-test stage in the Reference Integration yet. Component tests (testing a single module’s components/interfaces in isolation, between unit tests in Step 3 and the runtime feature integration tests in Step 6) still need to be designed and wired into the integration and its CI. This step is a placeholder so the intended test pyramid is documented; update it once the mechanism exists.
