     - Ensure all tests pass before submitting changes
     - The vitest framework is used for testing; the `describe`, `test`, `it`, etc functions are defined by default in `tsconfig.json` and therefore don't need to be imported
     - Tests must be run from the same directory as the `package.json` file that specifies `vitest` in `devDependencies`
+    - Run tests with: `npx vitest <relative-path-from-workspace-root>`
+    - Do NOT run tests from project root - this causes "vitest: command not found" error
+    - Tests must be run from inside the correct workspace:
+        - Backend tests: `cd src && npx vitest path/to/test-file` (don't include `src/` in path)
+        - UI tests: `cd webview-ui && npx vitest src/path/to/test-file`
+    - Example: For `src/tests/user.test.ts`, run `cd src && npx vitest tests/user.test.ts` NOT `npx vitest src/tests/user.test.ts`
