Add Testing Infrastructure for NEST

Description

Implement comprehensive testing infrastructure with unit, integration, and E2E tests. Given NEST's distributed multi-agent nature with protocol communication, registry integration, and cloud deployments, a layered testing approach is needed.

Recommend Testing Strategy

1. Unit Tests

  • Protocol adapters (A2A, SLIM message formatting)
  • Protocol router logic
  • AgentFacts parsing
  • @mention extraction and routing
  • Framework/LLM provider adapters

2. Integration Tests

  • Protocol communication flows (mock external agents)
  • Registry client interactions (mock NANDA Index)
  • Payment flow (mock blockchain facilitator)
  • Framework-to-protocol bridge

3. E2E Tests

  • Multi-agent scenarios with real protocol communication
  • Agent discovery via local registry
  • Cross-framework agent collaboration

4. Contract Tests

  • A2A spec compliance (AgentCard format, JSON-RPC 2.0)
  • SLIM protocol compliance
  • x402 payment headers

Acceptance Criteria

  • pytest configured with coverage reporting
  • Unit tests for all protocol adapters (>80% coverage)
  • Integration tests with mocked external dependencies
  • E2E test suite using Docker Compose with 2-3 test agents
  • Test fixtures for common scenarios (agent configs, mock responses)
  • Mock NANDA Index for integration tests
  • E2E tests cover: agent discovery, @mention routing
  • Documentation for running tests locally and adding new tests
