+# tests/test_phase_space.py — PhaseSpace component unit tests
+
+"""
+Why test this?
+--------------
+PhaseSpace is the baseline of everything: p·W·(W₀−W)². If it's wrong, every
+correction factor is multiplied onto garbage. We verify three things:
+
+ 1. **Shape correctness**: At threshold (W→1), momentum → 0 so spectrum → 0.
+    Near endpoint (W→W₀), the phase-space vanishes as (W₀−W)² — a parabola.
+ 2. **Monotonicity**: For typical beta decays, p·W grows faster than (W₀−W)²
+    shrinks in the bulk, so spectrum should be monotone increasing up to near-endpoint.
+ 3. **Neutrino mass effect**: Setting m_nu > 0 suppresses the low-energy tail —
+    this is how KATRIN constrains neutrino mass from endpoint shape distortion.
+
+Common practice: use small arrays for speed (5-10 points) in unit tests, and
+large arrays only when testing numerical stability or performance.
