 The CMake build generates `compile_commands.json` for use with
 clangd and other LSP-based editors.
 
-### Testing
-
-The CMake build includes a test suite covering all 8 programs:
-
-- **Smoke tests** verify each binary runs cleanly with `-ver`.
-- **Golden-file tests** run each program on a sample input and compare the
-  (normalized) output to a checked-in reference. Binary MIDI outputs are
-  piped through `mftext` to produce diffable text. Volatile lines (version
-  banners, dates, temporary paths) are stripped before comparison.
-
-```sh
-# Run all tests
-ctest --preset debug
-
-# Run only golden-file tests / only smoke tests
-ctest --preset debug -L golden
-ctest --preset debug -L smoke
-```

-To regenerate the golden files after an intentional behavioural change,
-review the diff, then commit:
-
-```sh
-cmake --build build/debug --target update-golden
-git diff tests/golden/
