-## Running Tests
-
-### Run All Tests
-```bash
-cd /path/to/station_alpha
-for f in game/libs/testing/__tests__/flexlove/*.lua; do lua "$f"; done
-```
-
-### Run Specific Test File
-```bash
-cd /path/to/station_alpha
-lua game/libs/testing/__tests__/flexlove/[test_file].lua
-```
-
-## Test Structure
-
-Each test file follows this general structure:
-
-```lua
-package.path = package.path .. ";/path/to/station_alpha/?.lua"
-
-local luaunit = require('game/libs/testing/luaunit')
-require('game/libs/testing/loveStub')
-local FlexLove = require('game/libs/FlexLove')
-
-TestClassName = {}
-
-function TestClassName:setUp()
-    self.GUI = FlexLove.GUI
-end
-
-function TestClassName:testFeature()
-    -- Test implementation
-end
-
-os.exit(luaunit.LuaUnit.run())
-```
-
-## Known Issues
-
-1. Layout Calculations
-   - Some justify-content calculations need verification
-   - Align-items behavior needs adjustment
-   - Flex-wrap positioning requires fixes
-
-2. Missing Methods
-   - Animation and transform methods not implemented
-   - Some utility functions not available
-   - Custom property support incomplete
-
-3. Performance
-   - Resize calculations may need optimization
-   - Deep hierarchy performance could be improved
-
-## Contributing
-
-When adding new tests:
-
-1. Follow the existing naming convention
-2. Add proper type annotations
-3. Include nil checks for optional features
-4. Document expected behavior
-5. Add the test to this README
-
-## Dependencies
-
-- Lua 5.1+ / LuaJIT
-- LÖVE2D (for graphics features)
-- luaunit (testing framework)
