+              MSTest (MSTest.TestFramework and MSTest.TestAdapter) is the unit-testing framework used
+              by the project. It discovers and runs all test methods and writes TRX result files that
+              feed into coverage reporting and requirements traceability. Passing tests confirm the

+              DemaConsulting.ReqStream processes requirements.yaml and the TRX test-result files to
+              produce a requirements report, justifications document, and traceability matrix. When
+              run with --enforce, it exits with a non-zero code if any requirement lacks test evidence,
+              making unproven requirements a build-breaking condition. A successful pipeline run with
