test(go): step 6 — integration tests covering all exit codes and output

Extract run(args, stdout, stderr) int from main() for in-process testability. Fix TLS failure classification (tlsErr now captured from TLSHandshakeDone hook). Add run_test.go with 14 table-driven in-process tests and cli_test.go with TestMain + 3 subprocess smoke tests. All servers use httptest; .invalid TLD for deterministic DNS failures.

+
+- Extracted `run(args, stdout, stderr) int` from `main()` to make the CLI testable in-process
+- Fixed TLS classification bug: `TLSHandshakeDone` fires with the error on cert rejection, so `tlsErr` is now captured and checked before the stale `tlsStart.IsZero()` guard
+- `run_test.go`: 14 in-process tests covering exit codes 0–6, multi-URL, sampling, and JSON structure assertions
+- `cli_test.go`: `TestMain` builds the real binary; 3 subprocess smoke tests exercise the actual `os.Exit` path
+- All test servers use `httptest` + stdlib; `.invalid` TLD for deterministic DNS failures; no external network dependency

+# Plan: Step 6 — Integration tests (Go)
+
+## Context
+
+The Go `latprobe` tool is feature-complete (Steps 0–5): per-phase latency,
+multiple URLs, `-n` sampling, `--json`, and classified failure handling with
+distinct exit codes. There are currently **no automated tests** — every check so
+far has been manual.
+
+We want integration tests that demonstrate the application's behaviour across a
+**successful run and every failure mode**: HTTP success (200), HTTP error status
+(404/500), DNS failure, connection refused, timeout, and TLS handshake failure —
+asserting on both the rendered output and the exit code.
+
+The user chose **both test layers**: fast in-process tests for breadth, plus a
+few subprocess smoke tests that exercise the real compiled binary.
+
+## Prerequisite refactor (makes the CLI testable)
+
+`main()` currently uses the global `flag` package, prints directly to
+`os.Stdout`/`os.Stderr`, and calls `os.Exit` — none of which is testable.
+
+Extract the logic into a pure, injectable function in `go/main.go`:
+
+```go
+func run(args []string, stdout, stderr io.Writer) int { ... }
+
+func main() { os.Exit(run(os.Args[1:], os.Stdout, os.Stderr)) }
+```
+
+- Use a local `flag.NewFlagSet("latprobe", flag.ContinueOnError)` with
+  `fs.SetOutput(stderr)`; on parse error return `exitUsage`.
+- Replace every `fmt.Print*` with `fmt.Fprint*(stdout/stderr, …)`.
+- Thread an `io.Writer` through `printURL`, `printResult`, `printAggregate`,
+  `printFailureSummary`.
+- Return the exit code instead of calling `os.Exit`.
+This is a mechanical change; no behaviour changes.
+
+## Small fix surfaced by the TLS test — `go/internal/probe/probe.go`
+
+The current `classifyErr` detects TLS failure via "tlsStart set but tlsDone
+zero". But Go's `httptrace` calls `TLSHandshakeDone` **with the error** on a
+failed handshake, so `tlsDone` is set even on a cert error — meaning a TLS
+failure is currently misclassified as `connect`.
+
+Fix (mirrors the existing `dnsErr` capture): record the handshake error in the
+`TLSHandshakeDone` hook into a local `tlsErr`, and in `classifyErr` return
+`"tls"` when `tlsErr != nil`. Classification order: dns → timeout → tls →
+connect (so a deadline during the handshake still classifies as `timeout`).
+
+## Test approach
+
+Stdlib only (`testing`, `net/http/httptest`, `os/exec`, `encoding/json`) — no
+third-party deps, consistent with the project.
+
+### How each case is triggered (deterministically)
+
+| Case | Trigger |
+|------|---------|
+| Success 200 | `httptest.NewServer` returning 200 |
+| HTTP 404 / 500 | `httptest.NewServer` returning the status |
+| DNS failure | URL with reserved `.invalid` TLD (RFC 6761 — always NXDOMAIN) |
+| Connection refused | `net.Listen` on `127.0.0.1:0`, capture addr, `Close()`, use that addr |
+| Timeout | server handler blocks on `<-r.Context().Done()`; client `--timeout 200ms` (handler returns as soon as the client disconnects, so `Close()` doesn't hang) |
+| TLS failure | `httptest.NewTLSServer` (self-signed cert) → default client rejects → cert error |
+
+### Layer 1 — in-process (`go/run_test.go`, `package main`)
+
+Table-driven tests calling `run(args, &stdoutBuf, &stderrBuf)` and asserting on
+the returned exit code and output substrings. Cases:
+
+- success 200 → exit 0; output contains `Total`, `DNS lookup`
+- 500 without `--fail` → exit 0; output contains `(500)`
+- 404 with `--fail` → exit 6; output contains `404 ✗`
+- DNS failure → exit 2; output contains `✗ dns:`
+- connection refused → exit 3; output contains `✗ connect:`
+- timeout (`--timeout 200ms`) → exit 4; output contains `✗ timeout:`
+- TLS failure → exit 5; output contains `✗ tls:`
+- multiple URLs, mixed (200 + `.invalid`) → exit = highest (2)
+- `-n 3` success → exit 0; output contains `3 samples`
+- no args → exit 1; stderr contains usage
+- `--json` success → valid JSON, `phases.total` present, `failed == 0`
+- `--json` DNS failure → valid JSON, `errors[0].phase == "dns"`, `succeeded == 0`
+
+JSON cases unmarshal `stdout` into the `[]jsonEntry` shape (or a mirror struct)
+and assert on fields — verifying phase presence without brittle text matching.
+
+### Layer 2 — subprocess smoke tests (`go/cli_test.go`, `package main`)
+
+`TestMain` builds the binary once with `go build -o <tmp>/latprobe` and stores
+the path; tests `exec.Command` it and read exit code via `*exec.ExitError`.
+A small representative set (real `os.Exit` path, real binary):
+
+- success against a local `httptest` server → exit 0, stdout has `Total`
+- DNS failure (`https://*.invalid`) → exit 2
+- `--json` DNS failure → stdout parses as JSON with an `errors` entry
+
+## Files
+
+- `go/main.go` — refactor to `run(...) int` (+ thread writer through printers)
+- `go/internal/probe/probe.go` — capture `tlsErr`, fix `classifyErr`
+- `go/run_test.go` — new, in-process integration matrix
+- `go/cli_test.go` — new, `TestMain` + subprocess smoke tests
+- `docs/usage/step-6-integration-tests.md` — how to run the tests
+- `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md` — bookkeeping
+- `docs/plans/2026-07-01-00-49-integration-tests.md` — copy of this plan
+
+## Verification
+
+```sh
+cd go
+go build ./...
+go vet ./...
+go test ./...            # all integration + subprocess tests pass
+go test -v ./...         # human-readable per-case results showing behaviour
+```
+
+Confirm the matrix covers exit codes 0–6 and that a deliberately broken
+classification (e.g. revert the TLS fix) makes the TLS case fail — proving the
+tests actually assert behaviour.
+
+## Bookkeeping at execution time
+1. Copy this plan to `docs/plans/2026-07-01-00-49-integration-tests.md`.
+2. Add `docs/usage/step-6-integration-tests.md`.
+3. Append a Step 6 entry to `CHANGELOG.md`; add a Step 6 row to `README.md`.

+# Step 6 — Integration Tests
+
+## What this step delivers
+
+A full integration-test suite covering every success and failure mode of the
+`latprobe` CLI. Tests are written using the Go standard library only (`testing`,
+`net/http/httptest`, `os/exec`, `encoding/json`) — no third-party dependencies.
+
+Two test layers:
+
+| Layer | File | How it runs |
+|-------|------|-------------|
+| In-process | `go/run_test.go` | Calls `run(args, stdout, stderr)` directly; fast, covers the full matrix |
+| Subprocess | `go/cli_test.go` | Builds the real binary once, `exec.Command`s it; exercises the true `os.Exit` path |
+
+## Running the tests
+
+```sh
+cd go
+
+# Run all tests (quiet)
+go test ./...
+
+# Run with per-case output
+go test -v ./...
+
+# Run only in-process tests
+go test -v -run TestRunMatrix .
+go test -v -run TestJSON .
+
+# Run only subprocess smoke tests
+go test -v -run TestCLI .
+```
+
+## Test matrix
+
+### In-process (`run_test.go`)
+
+| Test case | Exit code | Assertion |
+|-----------|-----------|-----------|
+| Success 200 | 0 | stdout contains `(200)`, `TCP connect`, `Total` |
+| HTTP 500, no `--fail` | 0 | stdout contains `(500)`, `Total` |
+| HTTP 404, `--fail` | 6 | stdout contains `404 ✗` |
+| DNS failure (`.invalid` TLD) | 2 | stdout contains `✗ dns:` |
+| Connection refused (listen-then-close) | 3 | stdout contains `✗ connect:` |
+| Timeout (`--timeout 200ms`, blocking handler) | 4 | stdout contains `✗ timeout:` |
+| TLS failure (self-signed cert) | 5 | stdout contains `✗ tls:` |
+| Multiple URLs (200 + `.invalid`) | 2 (highest) | stdout contains both `(200)` and `✗ dns:` |
+| Sampling `-n 3`, all success | 0 | stdout contains `3 samples`, `min`, `avg`, `max` |
+| No args | 1 | stderr contains `Usage:` |
+| `-h` | 0 | stderr contains `Usage:` |
+| `--json` success | 0 | valid JSON, `phases.total` present, `failed == 0` |
+| `--json` DNS failure | 2 | valid JSON, `errors[0].phase == "dns"`, `succeeded == 0` |
+| `--json` `-n 3` success | 0 | `succeeded == 3`, `total.min_ms > 0`, `max_ms >= min_ms` |
+
+### Subprocess smoke tests (`cli_test.go`)
+
+`TestMain` builds the binary with `go build -o <tmp>/latprobe .` once before
+any test runs. The binary is deleted on test completion.
+
+| Test | Checks |
+|------|--------|
+| `TestCLISuccess` | Local server, exit 0, stdout has `(200)` and `Total` |
+| `TestCLIDNSFailure` | `.invalid` host, real binary exits 2 |
+| `TestCLIJSONDNSFailure` | `.invalid` host, JSON output, `errors[0].phase == "dns"` |
+
+## Notes
+
+- The `http: TLS handshake error` log line printed during the TLS test is the
+  **server-side** log of the client correctly rejecting the self-signed cert.
+  It is expected and harmless.
+- `httptest.NewServer` binds to `127.0.0.1`; Go resolves loopback addresses
+  without a DNS query, so the DNS row does not appear in localhost test output.
+  Tests use `TCP connect` as the success-path phase assertion instead.
+- The test suite requires no network access for any case except DNS failure,
+  which uses the reserved `.invalid` TLD (RFC 6761 — always NXDOMAIN).
+
+## Code changes included in this step
+
+Beyond the tests, two code changes were made:
+
+1. **`main.go` refactor** — extracted `run(args []string, stdout, stderr io.Writer) int`
+   so the CLI is testable in-process. `main()` is now a one-liner:
+   `os.Exit(run(os.Args[1:], os.Stdout, os.Stderr))`. No behaviour change.
+
+2. **`probe.go` TLS classification fix** — Go's `httptrace` calls
+   `TLSHandshakeDone` with the error on a failed handshake, so `tlsDone` was
+   set even on cert rejection. The previous classifier ("tlsStart set, tlsDone
+   zero") never matched. Fixed by capturing `tlsErr` from the hook and checking
+   it in `classifyErr`.
