`cargo xtask test -- shell`. Tests run beside each other on a busy machine, so a test must not
depend on wall-clock timing.
**CI shards the tests.** One job builds them into a cargo-nextest archive and four jobs run a
quarter each, so every test runs in its own process: don't rely on state left by another test.
Pull requests skip a few heavy tests (one to four minutes each), which run on every push to
`main` and nightly; check the `main` run after merging. They are listed in
`.config/nextest.toml` and the [testing page](docs/book/src/dev/testing.md):

**The reference tests** are 76 parts in [`tests/oracle/`](tests/oracle/), each a `recipe.json`
