+"""
+Why test this?
+--------------
+The atomic exchange correction X(Z,W) can be very large for heavy nuclei at low energy
+— exceeding 20% (i.e., factor of 1.2+) near threshold. This is because the emitted
+electron's wave function overlaps with bound atomic electrons, modifying the phase space.
+
+Unlike other corrections that are small perturbations (~1%), exchange is a genuine
+O(α) effect that grows dramatically as p → 0 (because η = αZW/p diverges).
+
+We test:
+
+ 1. **Large correction at low energy for heavy nuclei**: At Z=80, W→1, X >> 1.
+     This is the hallmark of exchange — if it's small here, the fit coefficients
+    are wrong or the formula is broken.
+ 2. **Approaches unity at high energy**: Exchange vanishes as W increases because
+     the emitted electron becomes distinguishable from bound electrons (higher momentum).
+ 3. **No NaN/inf values**: The empirical fit involves sin() and division by Wⁱ —
+     we must ensure numerical stability across the full grid.
+ 4. **Coefficients loaded correctly**: Verify that Z=2..100 are all in the CSV.
+
+Common practice: For components with dramatic energy dependence, test both extremes
+(low-energy blowup and high-energy suppression) to verify the shape is correct.

+Why test this?
+--------------
+The Fermi function F₀(Z,W) is the most critical correction for heavy nuclei.
+At low Z it's ~1, but at high Z (e.g., Z=92 uranium) it can reach 10⁴+ near
+threshold because the Coulomb attraction pulls electrons toward the nucleus.
+
+We test:
+
+ 1. **Z=1 sanity**: For hydrogen, F₀ ≈ 1 (no Coulomb distortion). This is a
+    well-known boundary condition — if Z=1 doesn't give ~1, something fundamental
+    is broken in the loggamma computation.
+ 2. **Monotonicity with energy**: For β⁻ decay (Z_daughter > 0), F₀ decreases
+     with increasing W because p grows and η = αZW/p shrinks. This is a physical
+    expectation: Coulomb effects are strongest at low momentum.
+ 3. **Z-scaling**: Higher Z → larger correction. F₀(Z=50) should >> F₀(Z=1).
+ 4. **Numerical stability**: The loggamma-based implementation avoids overflow
+     that would occur with naive exp() of large arguments. We test this at high Z.
+
+Common practice: When testing a function with special mathematical functions
+(loggamma, spence, etc.), always include a "sanity check" against a known case

+Why test this?
+--------------
+Finite nuclear size corrections are small (typically 10⁻³–10⁻²) but systematic.
+They depend on the nuclear radius R ∝ A^(1/3), so they must scale correctly
+with atomic mass number A.
+
+We verify:
+
+ 1. **L₀ starts near unity**: For low-Z nuclei, L₀ ≈ 1 + small correction.
+     The correction is O(αZ·WR) which is tiny for light elements.
+ 2. **Charge distribution U term > 0**: This is a second-order positive term
+     proportional to (αZW R)² — always enhances the spectrum.
+ 3. **A-scaling**: Larger A → larger radius → larger correction.
+ 4. **Combined effect ≈ unity for light nuclei**: For Z=6, A=12, the total
+     finite-size correction should be very close to 1 (well within 5%).
+
+Common practice: For small-correction components like this, test that they are
+"close enough to 1" for boundary cases where the physics says the effect is negligible.
+This catches sign errors and magnitude bugs early.

+ 2. **Monotonicity**: For typical beta decays, p·W grows faster than (W₀−W)²

+"""
+Why test this?
+--------------
+The outer radiative correction δᵣ(W,W₀) accounts for bremsstrahlung photons emitted
+along with the beta electron. It's typically a small positive correction (~0.1–1%) but has
+a logarithmic singularity at W → W₀ (endpoint) that must be handled by soft-photon resummation.
+
+Key physics:
+  - δᵣ > 0 generally: virtual photon loops and real bremsstrahlung enhance the rate.
+  - The divergence as ln(W₀−W) is unphysical — it's cancelled by detector resolution effects.
+    Our implementation uses Eq.(53) resummation to tame this.
+
+We test:
+
+ 1. **No NaN/inf at endpoint**: With resummation, R(W→W₀) must be finite. Without it,
+     the logarithm diverges — we verify both modes work correctly.
+ 2. **Small correction magnitude**: δᵣ is O(α/π) ≈ 0.001–0.01, so R = 1+δᵣ should be
+    close to unity (within a factor of ~2).
+ 3. **Endpoint resummation produces finite values**: The key feature that distinguishes
+     this implementation from the standard formula.
+
+Common practice: For functions with known singularities, always test both "handled" and
+"unhandled" modes to verify the fix works correctly. This is exactly what `use_endpoint_resummation` does here.

+# tests/test_spectrum.py — Integration tests for the full BetaSpectrum pipeline
+
+"""
+Why test this?
+--------------
+Unit tests verify each component in isolation. But integration tests catch bugs that
+only appear when components interact: wrong energy grid, type mismatches between
+components, or numerical errors accumulating across multiplicative factors.
+
+The `from_config()` factory method is the user-facing API — it's what people call
+in real code. If this doesn't work for a realistic configuration, nothing else matters.
+
+We test:
+
+ 1. **End-to-end pipeline**: from_config → energy grid → spectrum evaluation → all components valid.
+     This is the "smoke test" that catches the most common user errors.
+ 2. **Selective component toggling**: Disabling a component shouldn't break anything.
+     Users need to be able to turn off corrections for debugging or comparison studies.
+ 3. **Positive final spectrum**: The product of all factors must remain positive —
+     if any component goes negative, the entire spectrum is wrong.
+ 4. **Component extraction works**: calculate_components() should return per-component values
+     that match calling each component individually.
+
+Common practice: Integration tests are fewer but more expensive (they test more code paths).
+They serve as a safety net — if they pass, you can be confident the system works "as designed".
