Mirrors the qe-reasoning-bank split: the original 622-line file ran
~43 tests in a single fork, most of which spun up a full
AQELearningEngine (transformer + HNSW + WASM coherence) via
beforeEach. Distributing across three sequential forks (pool=forks,
maxForks=1, fileParallelism=false) caps per-fork heap.
- _aqe-engine-test-helpers.ts (NEW, not a test file)
Shared createMockMemoryBackend() and createMockEventBus() factories
pulled out of the original so the splits don't duplicate. Underscore
prefix keeps it out of vitest's test-file include glob.
- aqe-learning-engine-factory.test.ts (NEW, 4 tests, no init)
Factory Functions + DEFAULT_ENGINE_CONFIG. Tests only call the
constructor — no engine.initialize() — so transformer / HNSW /
WASM aren't loaded. Safe to include in test:unit:fast.
- aqe-learning-engine-patterns.test.ts (NEW, 15 tests, full engine)
The three heaviest sub-describes: Pattern Learning, Task Tracking,
Experience Capture Integration. Each test runs a full engine init.
Excluded from test:unit:fast until step 3's dispose hooks are
proven in CI.
- aqe-learning-engine.test.ts (SLIMMED, ~21 tests, full engine)
Init / Status / Task Routing / Model Routing / Codebase Analysis /
Guidance / Dispose. Header comment updated to reference the two
companion files. Inline mock factories replaced with imports from
the shared helper.
Coverage preserved: ~43 tests still run under test:ci, across three
forks instead of one.
Issue: #448
