## Test Suite 1: State Transition Fix (1M-552)

### Overview
**Issue**: Semantic state name matching for Linear workflows with multiple states of same type
**Files Modified**:
- `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-ticketer/src/mcp_ticketer/adapters/linear/types.py`
- `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-ticketer/src/mcp_ticketer/adapters/linear/adapter.py`

### Test Results

**New Tests Added**: 4

```
tests/adapters/test_linear_state_semantic_matching.py::TestLinearSemanticStateMatching::
  ✅ test_multi_state_workflow_semantic_matching             PASSED [ 25%]
  ✅ test_simple_workflow_backward_compatibility             PASSED [ 50%]
  ✅ test_semantic_name_priority_over_type                   PASSED [ 75%]
  ✅ test_custom_state_names_case_insensitive                PASSED [100%]
```

**Test Execution**: 4 passed in 0.02s

-------------------------------- live log call ---------------------------------
2025-12-03 00:06:45 [    INFO] Team test-team has multiple states per type:
                              {'unstarted': 3, 'started': 2}.
                              Using semantic name matching for state resolution.
PASSED                                                                   [ 25%]
```

### Regression Check

**Test Fixed**: `test_load_workflow_states`
- **Issue Found**: Test mock data missing `name` field required by new semantic matching
- **Root Cause**: Test data from before semantic matching implementation
- **Fix Applied**: Updated mock data to include `name` field and updated assertions to expect universal state names (`open`, `in_progress`, `done`) instead of Linear type names (`unstarted`, `started`, `completed`)
- **Result**: ✅ Test now passes

### Success Criteria Met

- ✅ All 4 new semantic matching tests pass
- ✅ All existing Linear adapter tests pass (no regressions)
- ✅ Test execution completes without errors
- ✅ Backward compatibility maintained

---

## Test Suite 2: Epic Listing Pagination Fix (1M-553)

### Overview
**Issue**: GraphQL validation error for epic listing due to missing `$after` parameter
**Files Modified**:
- `/Users/masa/Projects/mcp-ticketer/src/mcp_ticketer/adapters/linear/queries.py`

### Test Results

**Query Structure Verification**: ✅ PASSED

**Test Fixed**: `test_list_projects_query_structure`
- **Issue Found**: Test expected old query signature without pagination parameter
- **Expected (old)**:
  ```graphql
  query ListProjects($filter: ProjectFilter, $first: Int!)
  ```
- **Actual (new)**:
  ```graphql
  query ListProjects($filter: ProjectFilter, $first: Int!, $after: String)
  ```
- **Fix Applied**: Updated test to verify new pagination-aware query signature
- **Enhanced Assertions**: Added verification for `pageInfo`, `hasNextPage`, `endCursor`

### Evidence

```bash
✅ test_list_projects_query_structure                       PASSED [100%]
```

**Query Verification**:
```graphql
query ListProjects($filter: ProjectFilter, $first: Int!, $after: String) {
    projects(filter: $filter, first: $first, after: $after, orderBy: updatedAt) {
        nodes {
            ...ProjectFields
        }
        pageInfo {
            hasNextPage
            endCursor
        }
    }
}
```

### Success Criteria Met

- ✅ No GraphQL validation errors
- ✅ Query accepts `$after` parameter
- ✅ Query structure matches working pattern (LIST_CYCLES_QUERY)
- ✅ Pagination metadata included

---

1. **tests/adapters/test_linear_compact_pagination.py**
   - Removed unnecessary `f` prefix from print statement (line 312)
