Umbrella for experimentation-SDK test harnesses: the shared offline-datafile / hermetic-init pattern (commit a point-in-time flag/experiment config fixture, initialize the SDK with no network, pin arms per test, assert assignment integrity), with per-vendor references for Statsig (localMode + overrideGate), Optimizely (datafile + forced decisions), Split.io / Harness FME (localhost mode + features map or YAML fixture), Amplitude Experiment (local evaluation + bootstrap), and VWO (settings file + deterministic bucketing). Use when writing tests for application code instrumented with any of these five experimentation SDKs; for experiment DESIGN gates use ab-test-validity-checklist, and to read results use experiment-results-interpreter.

Deeper test recipes for optimizely.md. Its spine
covers install, datafile init, user context + decide, and forced
decisions; this file holds the assignment-integrity and event-tracking
tests plus the run/CI wiring.
Same user id must resolve to the same variation, and decide_all must
return a stable key set across calls.
