Running Platform Tests

```bash python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate ``` ```bash pip install -e src/praisonai-platform[test] ``` This installs every dependency needed for pytest collection and execution — including `email-validator` for Pydantic `EmailStr` fields. No manual follow-up installs. ```bash pytest src/praisonai-platform/tests -q ```
