## 📝 Implementation Notes

### Technical Decisions
1. **Import Path:** Using `tracertm` (not `src.tracertm`) for direct module access
2. **Fixture Scope:** Module-level fixtures for performance, function-level for isolation
3. **Error Testing:** `pytest.raises()` with tuple of possible exceptions for compatibility
4. **Timestamp Testing:** Using `datetime.utcnow()` for consistent testing across timezones
5. **Bulk Testing:** Reasonable limits (100-1000 items) to ensure fast test execution

### Test Template Standards
All test files follow:
- **Module Docstring:** Describing purpose and coverage
- **pytestmark:** Using `pytest.mark.unit` for categorization
- **Fixture Definitions:** Clear, focused, reusable
- **Test Class Hierarchy:** Organized by functional area
- **Test Method Naming:** `test_{scenario}_{expected_result}`
- **Assertions:** Specific and meaningful
- **Comments:** Minimal (code is self-documenting)

### Integration with Existing Tests
- ✅ No conflicts with existing test files
- ✅ Using same patterns as existing comprehensive tests
- ✅ Leveraging existing model implementations
- ✅ Compatible with pytest configuration
