## Test Coverage

### 1. CLI Help Command Testing ✅

All four clients have working help commands with clear documentation.

#### Claude Code (`mcp-ticketer mcp --help`)

```
✅ PASS - Help text displays correctly
✅ PASS - Shows --global and --force options
✅ PASS - Includes configuration scope documentation
```

**Output Sample**:
```
Configure Claude Code to use mcp-ticketer MCP server.

Reads configuration from .mcp-ticketer/config.json and updates Claude Code's
MCP settings accordingly.

By default, configures project-level (.mcp/config.json).
Use --global to configure Claude Desktop instead.

Options:
  --global  -g    Configure Claude Desktop instead of project-level
  --force   -f    Overwrite existing configuration
  --help          Show this message and exit.
```

#### Gemini CLI (`mcp-ticketer gemini --help`)

```
✅ PASS - Help text displays correctly
✅ PASS - Shows --scope and --force options
✅ PASS - Includes usage examples
✅ PASS - Documents project vs user scope
```

**Output Sample**:
```
Configure Gemini CLI to use mcp-ticketer MCP server.

Reads configuration from .mcp-ticketer/config.json and creates Gemini CLI
settings file with mcp-ticketer configuration.

By default, configures project-level (.gemini/settings.json).
Use --scope user to configure user-level (~/.gemini/settings.json).

Examples:
    # Configure for current project (default)
    mcp-ticketer gemini

    # Configure at user level
    mcp-ticketer gemini --scope user

    # Force overwrite existing configuration
    mcp-ticketer gemini --force

Options:
  --scope  -s  TEXT  Configuration scope: 'project' (default) or 'user'
  --force  -f        Overwrite existing configuration
  --help             Show this message and exit.
```

#### Codex CLI (`mcp-ticketer codex --help`)

```
✅ PASS - Help text displays correctly
✅ PASS - Shows --force option
✅ PASS - Clearly states global-only configuration
✅ PASS - Warns about restart requirement
```

**Output Sample**:
```
Configure Codex CLI to use mcp-ticketer MCP server.

Reads configuration from .mcp-ticketer/config.json and creates Codex CLI
config.toml with mcp-ticketer configuration.

IMPORTANT: Codex CLI ONLY supports global configuration at ~/.codex/config.toml.
There is no project-level configuration support. After configuration,
you must restart Codex CLI for changes to take effect.

Examples:
    # Configure Codex CLI globally
    mcp-ticketer codex

    # Force overwrite existing configuration
    mcp-ticketer codex --force

Options:
  --force  -f    Overwrite existing configuration
  --help         Show this message and exit.
```

#### Auggie (`mcp-ticketer auggie --help`)

```
✅ PASS - Help text displays correctly
✅ PASS - Shows --force option
✅ PASS - Clearly states global-only configuration
✅ PASS - Warns about restart requirement
```

**Output Sample**:
```
Configure Auggie CLI to use mcp-ticketer MCP server.

Reads configuration from .mcp-ticketer/config.json and creates Auggie CLI
settings.json with mcp-ticketer configuration.

IMPORTANT: Auggie CLI ONLY supports global configuration at ~/.augment/settings.json.
There is no project-level configuration support. After configuration,
you must restart Auggie CLI for changes to take effect.

Examples:
    # Configure Auggie CLI globally
    mcp-ticketer auggie

    # Force overwrite existing configuration
    mcp-ticketer auggie --force

Options:
  --force  -f    Overwrite existing configuration
  --help         Show this message and exit.
```

mcp-ticketer mcp --force  # Overwrite
```

**Result**: ✅ PASS
```
⚠ Overwriting existing configuration
✓ Successfully configured mcp-ticketer
```

#### Gemini --force

**Test**:
```bash
mcp-ticketer gemini          # Initial config
mcp-ticketer gemini --force  # Overwrite
```

**Result**: ✅ PASS
```
⚠ Overwriting existing configuration
✓ Successfully configured mcp-ticketer
Configuration saved to: /private/tmp/mcp-test/.gemini/settings.json
```

#### Codex --force

**Test**:
```bash
mcp-ticketer codex          # Initial config
mcp-ticketer codex --force  # Overwrite
```

**Result**: ✅ PASS
```
⚠ Overwriting existing configuration
✓ Successfully configured mcp-ticketer
Configuration saved to: /Users/masa/.codex/config.toml
```

#### Auggie --force

Configuration saved to: /Users/masa/.augment/settings.json
```

**Summary**:
```
✅ PASS - --force flag works for all clients
✅ PASS - Shows clear warning when overwriting
✅ PASS - Successfully overwrites existing config
✅ PASS - Preserves other settings in config file
```
