It's a large codebase (~1,050 C# files) providing a comprehensive framework for building interactive console applications with support for keyboard and mouse input, customizable views, and a robust event system.
 
 **Key characteristics:**
 - **Language**: C# (net8.0)
-- **Size**: ~496 source files in core library, ~1,050 total C# files
 - **Platform**: Cross-platform (Windows, macOS, Linux)

 ### Common Build Issues
 
 #### Issue: Build Warnings
-- **Expected**: ~326 warnings (nullable refs, unused vars, xUnit suggestions)
+- **Expected**: None warnings (~100 currently).
 - **Action**: Don't add new warnings; fix warnings in code you modify
 
-#### Issue: Test Timeouts
-- **Expected**: Tests can take 5-10 minutes
-- **Action**: Use appropriate timeout values (60-120 seconds for test commands)
-
-#### Issue: Restore Failures
-- **Solution**: Ensure `dotnet restore` completes before building
-- **Note**: Takes 15-20 seconds on first run
-
 #### Issue: NativeAot/SelfContained Build
 - **Solution**: Restore these projects explicitly:

 - **Do NOT add formatting tools** - Use existing `.editorconfig` and `Terminal.sln.DotSettings`
 - Format code with:

 - **Steps**:

-  - Build Debug: `dotnet build --configuration Debug --no-restore -property:NoWarn=0618%3B0612`

 ### 2) Build & Run Unit Tests (`.github/workflows/unit-tests.yml`)
 
 - **Triggers**: push and pull_request to `v2_release`, `v2_develop` (ignores `**.md`)
-- **Process**: Calls build workflow, then runs:
-  - Non-parallel UnitTests on Ubuntu/Windows/macOS matrix with coverage and blame/diag flags; `xunit.stopOnFail=false`
-  - Parallel UnitTestsParallelizable similarly with coverage; `xunit.stopOnFail=false`
-  - Uploads logs per-OS
+- **Matrix**: Ubuntu/Windows/macOS
+- **Timeout**: 15 minutes per job
+- **Process**:
+1. Calls build workflow to build solution once
+2. Downloads build artifacts
+3. Runs `dotnet restore` (required for `--no-build` to work)
+4. **Performance optimizations**:
+   - Disables Windows Defender on Windows runners (significant speedup)
+   - Collects code coverage **only on Linux** (ubuntu-latest) for performance
+   - Windows and macOS skip coverage collection to reduce test time
+   - Increased blame-hang-timeout to 120s for Windows/macOS (60s for Linux)
+5. Runs two test jobs:
+   - **Non-parallel UnitTests**: `Tests/UnitTests` with blame/diag flags; `xunit.stopOnFail=false`
+   - **Parallel UnitTestsParallelizable**: `Tests/UnitTestsParallelizable` with blame/diag flags; `xunit.stopOnFail=false`
+6. Uploads test logs and diagnostic data from all runners
+7. **Uploads code coverage to Codecov only from Linux runner**
+
+**Test results**: All tests output to unified `TestResults/` directory at repository root
 
 ### 3) Build & Run Integration Tests (`.github/workflows/integration-tests.yml`)
