Add comprehensive test suite for core modules

New test files:
- test_tool.py: 35 tests for Tool, ToolArgument, steps, persistence
- test_runner.py: 31 tests for variable substitution, step execution
- test_providers.py: 35 tests for provider management, mocked calls
- test_cli.py: 20 tests for CLI commands
- tests/README.md: Test suite documentation

Removed placeholder test.py (triangle calculator).

Total: 158 unit tests passing, 12 integration tests (require server)

+# SmartTools Test Suite
+
+## Overview
+
+The test suite covers the core SmartTools modules with **158 unit tests** organized into four main test files:
+
+| Test File | Module Tested | Test Count | Description |
+|-----------|---------------|------------|-------------|
+| `test_tool.py` | `tool.py` | 35 | Tool definitions, YAML loading/saving |
+| `test_runner.py` | `runner.py` | 31 | Variable substitution, step execution |
+| `test_providers.py` | `providers.py` | 35 | Provider management, AI calls |
+| `test_cli.py` | `cli/` | 20 | CLI commands and arguments |
+| `test_registry_integration.py` | Registry | 37 | Registry client, resolution (12 require server) |
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all unit tests (excluding integration tests)
+pytest tests/ -m "not integration"
+
+# Run all tests with verbose output
+pytest tests/ -v
+
+# Run a specific test file
+pytest tests/test_tool.py -v
+
+# Run a specific test class
+pytest tests/test_runner.py::TestSubstituteVariables -v
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest tests/ --cov=smarttools --cov-report=html
+```
+
+## Test Categories
+
+### Unit Tests (run without external dependencies)
+
+**test_tool.py** - Tool data structures and persistence
+- `TestToolArgument` - Custom argument definition and serialization
+- `TestPromptStep` - AI prompt step configuration
+- `TestCodeStep` - Python code step configuration
+- `TestTool` - Full tool configuration and roundtrip serialization
+- `TestValidateToolName` - Tool name validation rules
+- `TestToolPersistence` - Save/load/delete operations
+- `TestLegacyFormat` - Backward compatibility with old format
+
+**test_runner.py** - Tool execution engine
+- `TestSubstituteVariables` - Variable placeholder substitution
+  - Simple substitution: `{name}` → value
+  - Escaped braces: `{{literal}}` → `{literal}`
+  - Multiple variables, multiline templates
+- `TestExecutePromptStep` - AI provider calls with mocking
+- `TestExecuteCodeStep` - Python code execution via `exec()`
+- `TestRunTool` - Full tool execution with steps
+- `TestCreateArgumentParser` - CLI argument parsing
+
+**test_providers.py** - AI provider abstraction
+- `TestProvider` - Provider dataclass and serialization
+- `TestProviderResult` - Success/error result handling
+- `TestMockProvider` - Built-in mock for testing
+- `TestProviderPersistence` - YAML save/load operations
+- `TestCallProvider` - Subprocess execution with mocking
+- `TestProviderCommandParsing` - Shell command parsing with shlex
+
+**test_cli.py** - Command-line interface
+- `TestCLIBasics` - Help, version flags
+- `TestListCommand` - List available tools
+- `TestCreateCommand` - Create new tools
+- `TestDeleteCommand` - Delete tools
+- `TestRunCommand` - Execute tools
+- `TestTestCommand` - Test tools with mock provider
+- `TestProvidersCommand` - Manage AI providers
+- `TestRefreshCommand` - Regenerate wrapper scripts
+- `TestDocsCommand` - View/edit documentation
+
+### Integration Tests (require running server)
+
+**test_registry_integration.py** - Registry API tests (marked with `@pytest.mark.integration`)
+- `TestRegistryIntegration` - List, search, categories, index
+- `TestAuthIntegration` - Registration, login, tokens
+- `TestPublishIntegration` - Tool publishing workflow
+
+Run with a local registry server:
+```bash
+# Start registry server
+python -m smarttools.registry.app
+
+# Run integration tests
+pytest tests/test_registry_integration.py -v -m integration
+```
+
+## Test Fixtures
+
+Common fixtures used across tests:
+
+```python
+@pytest.fixture
+def temp_tools_dir(tmp_path):
+    """Redirect TOOLS_DIR and BIN_DIR to temp directory."""
+    with patch('smarttools.tool.TOOLS_DIR', tmp_path / ".smarttools"):
+        with patch('smarttools.tool.BIN_DIR', tmp_path / ".local" / "bin"):
+            yield tmp_path
+
+@pytest.fixture
+def temp_providers_file(tmp_path):
+    """Redirect providers.yaml to temp directory."""
+    providers_file = tmp_path / ".smarttools" / "providers.yaml"
+    with patch('smarttools.providers.PROVIDERS_FILE', providers_file):
+        yield providers_file
+```
+
+## Mocking Strategy
+
+- **File system**: Use `tmp_path` fixture and patch module-level paths
+- **Subprocess calls**: Mock `subprocess.run` and `shutil.which`
+- **Stdin**: Use `patch('sys.stdin', StringIO("input"))`
+- **Provider calls**: Mock `call_provider` to return `ProviderResult`
+
+## Known Limitations
+
+1. **Tool name validation** - CLI doesn't validate names before creation (test skipped)
+2. **Nested braces** - `{{{x}}}` breaks due to overlapping escape sequences (documented behavior)
+3. **Integration tests** - Require local registry server at `localhost:5000`
+
+## Adding New Tests
+
+1. Create test functions in the appropriate test file
+2. Use descriptive names: `test_<what>_<scenario>`
+3. Add docstrings explaining the test purpose
+4. Use fixtures for common setup
+5. Mock external dependencies (subprocess, network, file system)
+
+Example:
+```python
+def test_tool_with_multiple_code_steps(self):
+    """Multiple code steps should pass variables between them."""
+    tool = Tool(
+        name="multi-code",
+        steps=[
+            CodeStep(code="x = 1", output_var="x"),
+            CodeStep(code="y = int(x) + 1", output_var="y")
+        ],
+        output="{y}"
+    )
+    output, code = run_tool(tool, "", {})
+    assert code == 0
+    assert output == "2"
+```
