Add pre-flight validation, flexible response handling, and improved error detection - Add pre-flight check to validate agent with first golden prompt before mutations - Improve response extraction to handle various agent response formats automatically - Add support for non-JSON responses (plain text, HTML) - Enhance error detection for HTTP 200 responses with error fields - Add comprehensive auto-detection for common response field names - Improve JSON parsing error handling with graceful fallbacks - Add example YAML config for GenerateSearchQueries agent - Update documentation with build and installation fixes

# Fix: `pip install .` vs `pip install -e .` Issue
## Problem
When running `python -m pip install .`, you get:
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flakestorm.reports'
```
But `pip install -e .` works fine.
## Root Cause
This is a known issue with how `pip` builds wheels vs editable installs:
- **`pip install -e .`** (editable): Links directly to source, all files available
- **`pip install .`** (regular): Builds a wheel, which may not include all subpackages if hatchling doesn't discover them correctly
## Solutions
### Solution 1: Use Editable Mode (Recommended for Development)
```bash
pip install -e .
```
This is the recommended approach for development as it:
- Links directly to your source code
- Reflects changes immediately without reinstalling
- Includes all files and subpackages
### Solution 2: Clean Build and Reinstall
If you need to test the wheel build:
```bash
# Clean everything
rm -rf build/ dist/ *.egg-info src/*.egg-info
# Build wheel explicitly
python -m pip install build
python -m build --wheel
# Check wheel contents
unzip -l dist/*.whl | grep reports
# Install from wheel
pip install dist/*.whl
```
### Solution 3: Verify pyproject.toml Configuration
Ensure `pyproject.toml` has:
```toml
[tool.hatch.build.targets.wheel]
packages = ["src/flakestorm"]
```
Hatchling should auto-discover all subpackages, but if it doesn't, the editable install is the workaround.
## For Publishing to PyPI
When publishing to PyPI, the wheel build should work correctly because:
1. The build process is more controlled
2. All subpackages are included in the source distribution
3. The wheel is built from the source distribution
If you encounter issues when publishing, verify the wheel contents:
```bash
python -m build
unzip -l dist/*.whl | grep -E "flakestorm/.*__init__\.py"
```
All subpackages should be listed.
## Recommendation
**For development:** Always use `pip install -e .`
**For testing wheel builds:** Use `python -m build` and install from the wheel
**For publishing:** The standard `python -m build` process should work correctly

# Fix: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flakestorm.reports'
## Problem
After running `python -m pip install .`, you get:
```
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flakestorm.reports'
```
## Solution
### Step 1: Clean Previous Builds
```bash
# Remove old build artifacts
rm -rf build/ dist/ *.egg-info src/*.egg-info
# If installed, uninstall first
pip uninstall flakestorm -y
```
### Step 2: Make Sure You're in Your Virtual Environment
```bash
# Activate your venv
source venv/bin/activate # macOS/Linux
# OR
venv\Scripts\activate # Windows
# Verify you're in the venv
which python # Should show venv path
```
### Step 3: Reinstall in Editable Mode
```bash
# Install in editable mode (recommended for development)
pip install -e .
# OR install normally
pip install .
```
### Step 4: Verify Installation
```bash
# Check if package is installed
pip show flakestorm
# Test the import
python -c "from flakestorm.reports.models import TestResults; print('OK')"
# Test the CLI
flakestorm --version
```
## If Still Not Working
### Check Package Contents
```bash
# List installed package files
python -c "import flakestorm; import os; print(os.path.dirname(flakestorm.__file__))"
ls -la <path_from_above>/reports/
```
### Rebuild from Scratch
```bash
# Clean everything
rm -rf build/ dist/ *.egg-info src/*.egg-info .eggs/
# Rebuild
python -m build
# Check what's in the wheel
unzip -l dist/*.whl | grep reports
# Reinstall
pip install dist/*.whl
```
## Root Cause
The `reports` module exists in the source code, but might not be included in the installed package if:
1. The package wasn't built correctly
2. You're not in the correct virtual environment
3. There's a cached/stale installation
The fix above should resolve it.

```bash
# Check pyproject.toml is valid
python -m pip install .
# NOTE: Use editable mode for development, regular install for testing wheel builds
pip install -e . # Editable mode (recommended for development)
# OR test the wheel build process:
python -m pip install build
python -m build --wheel
python -m pip install dist/*.whl
# Verify the package works
flakestorm --version
```
**Important:** If you get `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flakestorm.reports'` when using `pip install .` (non-editable), it means the wheel build didn't include all subpackages. Use `pip install -e .` for development, or ensure `pyproject.toml` has the correct `packages` configuration.
### Step 2: Build the Package
```bash
# Install build tools (if not already installed)
pip install build
# Clean previous builds
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info
rm -rf dist/ build/ *.egg-info src/*.egg-info
# Build source distribution and wheel

# flakestorm-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl (wheel)
# Verify all subpackages are included (especially reports)
unzip -l dist/*.whl | grep "flakestorm/reports"
```
### Step 3: Check the Build
```bash
# Install twine for checking (if not already installed)
pip install twine
# Verify the package contents
twine check dist/*
# List files in the wheel
unzip -l dist/*.whl
# Ensure it contains:
# Ensure it contains all subpackages:

# - flakestorm/core/*.py
# - flakestorm/mutations/*.py
# - flakestorm/reports/*.py (important: check this exists!)
# - flakestorm/assertions/*.py
# - etc.
# Quick check for reports module:
unzip -l dist/*.whl | grep "flakestorm/reports"

### Step 4: Test on Test PyPI (Recommended)
