-**Why these 6 tests:** They cover all major tools (chat, planner, consensus, codereview + analyze, debug, thinkdeep), extensively test conversation memory functionality, use flash/flashlite models, and provide comprehensive app functionality coverage in minimal time.
+**Why these 6 tests:** They cover the core functionality including conversation memory (`utils/conversation_memory.py`), chat tool functionality, file processing and deduplication, model selection (flash/flashlite/o3), and cross-tool conversation workflows. These tests validate the most critical parts of the system in minimal time.
+
+**Note:** Some workflow tools (analyze, codereview, planner, consensus, etc.) require specific workflow parameters and may need individual testing rather than quick mode testing.
