Subject: [PATCH 02/20] Rewrite Tutorial01-05 tests to use MockEndpoint E2E
 patterns

Replace NSubstitute mocks and reflection-based assertions with real
send/receive through MockEndpoint and AspireIntegrationTestHost:

- Tutorial01 (Canonical Data Model): 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests
- Tutorial02 (Service Activator): 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests
- Tutorial03 (Message Channel): 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests
- Tutorial04 (Envelope Wrapper): 7 Lab + 3 Exam tests
- Tutorial05 (Message Endpoint): 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests

All 46 tests pass with real E2E message flow through MockEndpoint.

Subject: [PATCH 03/20] Rewrite Tutorial06-10 tests to use real channel classes
 with MockEndpoints

Replace NSubstitute-based mock tests with end-to-end integration tests
that wire real EIP components (PointToPointChannel, PublishSubscribeChannel,
DatatypeChannel, InvalidMessageChannel, ContentBasedRouter, MessageFilter,
PipelineOrchestrator) with MockEndpoints for E2E verification.

- Tutorial06: 7 Lab + 3 Exam tests for messaging channels
- Tutorial07: 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests for Temporal workflow orchestration
- Tutorial08: 6 Lab + 3 Exam tests for activities pipeline
- Tutorial09: 7 Lab + 3 Exam tests for content-based router
- Tutorial10: 7 Lab + 3 Exam tests for message filter

All 48 tests pass.

 // Tutorial 06 – Messaging Channels (Lab)
 // ============================================================================
-// This lab explores the core channel types from Enterprise Integration Patterns:
-// Point-to-Point, Publish-Subscribe, Datatype Channel, and Invalid Message
-// Channel.  You will use mocked producers and consumers to exercise each
-// pattern and verify the behaviour.
+// EIP Patterns: Point-to-Point, Publish-Subscribe, Datatype Channel,
+//               Invalid Message Channel.
+// E2E: Wire real channel classes with MockEndpoints, send messages through
+// each channel type, verify delivery patterns.

Subject: [PATCH 04/20] Rewrite Tutorial 11-15 Lab.cs and Exam.cs with E2E
 MockEndpoint pattern

Rewrote all 10 test files to follow the Tutorial09 gold-standard E2E pattern:
- Tutorial11: Dynamic Router (7 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial12: Recipient List (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial13: Routing Slip (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial14: Process Manager (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial15: Message Translator (6 lab + 3 exam tests)

All 46 tests use real components with MockEndpoint, NullLogger,
Options.Create, and NUnit 4 assertions. NSubstitute only for
ITemporalWorkflowDispatcher and IPayloadTransform.

 // Tutorial 13 – Routing Slip (Lab)

-// This lab exercises the RoutingSlipRouter — a pattern where each message
-// carries its own processing itinerary. Steps are executed sequentially;
-// after each step the slip is advanced and the message may be forwarded
-// to a destination topic.
+// EIP Pattern: Routing Slip
+// E2E: Wire real RoutingSlipRouter with test step handlers + MockEndpoint,
+// execute steps sequentially, verify forwarding to destination topics.

Subject: [PATCH 05/20] Rewrite Tutorial16-20 Lab.cs and Exam.cs with E2E tests

Rewrite all 10 test files for Tutorials 16-20 following the Tutorial09
gold-standard pattern with MockEndpoint E2E testing:

- Tutorial16: Transform Pipeline (6 Lab + 3 Exam tests)
- Tutorial17: Normalizer (6 Lab + 3 Exam tests)
- Tutorial18: Content Enricher (6 Lab + 3 Exam tests)
- Tutorial19: Content Filter (6 Lab + 3 Exam tests)
- Tutorial20: Splitter (7 Lab + 3 Exam tests)

All 46 tests pass. Each test uses real component implementations wired
to MockEndpoint for E2E verification.

-// You will test FuncSplitStrategy, JsonArraySplitStrategy, envelope field
-// preservation, and error handling for unconfigured target topics.
+// EIP Pattern: Splitter.
+// E2E: MessageSplitter with FuncSplitStrategy + MockEndpoint to capture
+// split messages, verify SequenceNumber, TotalCount, and CausationId.

Subject: [PATCH 06/20] Rewrite Tutorial21-25 Lab.cs and Exam.cs with E2E
 MockEndpoint pattern

- Tutorial21: Aggregator (7 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial22: Scatter-Gather (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial23: Request-Reply (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial24: Retry Framework (6 lab + 3 exam tests)
- Tutorial25: Dead Letter Queue (7 lab + 3 exam tests)

All 47 tests pass with real components + MockEndpoint.

Subject: [PATCH 08/20] Rewrite Tutorial 31-35 Lab/Exam to E2E MockEndpoint
 integration pattern

Rewrote all 10 test files (5 Labs + 5 Exams) for tutorials 31-35 to use
the E2E MockEndpoint integration pattern consistent with tutorials 09/21.

All 48 tests pass. Each test uses MockEndpoint for E2E verification.
NSubstitute used only for external infrastructure (IHttpConnector,
ISftpConnectionPool, ISftpClient).

Subject: [PATCH 09/20] Rewrite Tutorial 36-40 Lab.cs and Exam.cs to use E2E
 MockEndpoint pattern

Rewrote all 10 test files for tutorials 36-40 to follow the E2E
MockEndpoint integration pattern established in Tutorial09 and Tutorial21:

- Tutorial36 (Email Connector): MockEndpoint feeds envelopes to
  EmailConnector, NSubstitute ISmtpClientWrapper for external SMTP
- Tutorial37 (File Connector): MockEndpoint-driven file I/O pipeline,
  NSubstitute IFileSystem for disk operations
- Tutorial38 (Observability): MockEndpoint tracks message flow through
  InMemoryMessageStateStore, CorrelationPropagator integration
- Tutorial39 (System Management): ControlBusPublisher wired with
  MockEndpoint as both IMessageBrokerProducer and IMessageBrokerConsumer,
  SmartProxy request-reply tracking
- Tutorial40 (RAG & AI): MockEndpoint AI-enriched message pipeline,
  NSubstitute for IOllamaService and IRagFlowService

All 48 tests pass (Lab: 6+7+7+7+6=33, Exam: 3+3+3+3+3=15).

Subject: [PATCH 10/20] Rewrite Tutorial41-45 Lab.cs and Exam.cs to use E2E
 MockEndpoint pattern

- Tutorial41: InMemoryMessageStateStore + MockEndpoint for message state tracking
- Tutorial42: InMemoryConfigurationStore + InMemoryFeatureFlagService + MockEndpoint
- Tutorial43: EnvironmentOverrideProvider + InMemoryConfigurationStore + MockEndpoint
- Tutorial44: InMemoryFailoverManager + MockEndpoint for failover/failback
- Tutorial45: ContinuousProfiler + MockEndpoint for profiling snapshots

All 47 tests pass (Lab: 6+7+6+7+6=32, Exam: 3+3+3+3+3=15).

Subject: [PATCH 13/20] refactor(Tutorial07): replace NSubstitute with
 MockTemporalWorkflowDispatcher

Replace NSubstitute mocking with the in-memory MockTemporalWorkflowDispatcher
from EnterpriseIntegrationPlatform.Testing in both Lab.cs and Exam.cs:

- Use ReturnsSuccess()/ReturnsFailure() instead of NSubstitute .Returns()
- Use dispatcher.LastInput/LastWorkflowId instead of Arg.Do captures
- Use dispatcher.AssertDispatchCount() instead of Received() verification
- All test names and assertions remain unchanged

Subject: [PATCH 15/20] Replace NSubstitute with mock implementations in
 Tutorial08, Tutorial15, Tutorial18

Migrate all 6 test files (Lab.cs and Exam.cs for each tutorial) from
NSubstitute to the built-in mock classes from
EnterpriseIntegrationPlatform.Testing:

- Tutorial08: MockPersistenceActivityService, MockMessageLoggingService
- Tutorial15: MockPayloadTransform<TIn, TOut>
- Tutorial18: MockEnrichmentSource

All test names, structure, and assertion logic remain equivalent.

Subject: [PATCH 16/20] Replace NSubstitute with mock implementations from
 Testing library in Tutorial21, Tutorial31, Tutorial34, Tutorial35

- Tutorial21 Lab/Exam: Use MockAggregationStrategy<string, string>
- Tutorial31 Exam: Use MockEventProjection<int>
- Tutorial34 Lab/Exam: Use MockHttpConnector with WithResponse/WithFailure
- Tutorial35 Lab/Exam: Use MockSftpClient, MockSftpConnectionPool, MockSftpConnector

Subject: [PATCH 17/20] Replace NSubstitute with mock implementations in
 Tutorial36, 37, 38

Replace NSubstitute-based mocks with concrete mock implementations from
EnterpriseIntegrationPlatform.Testing in Tutorial36 (MockSmtpClient),
Tutorial37 (MockFileSystem), and Tutorial38 (MockObservabilityEventLog
+ MockTraceAnalyzer). All test names and assertion logic preserved.

Subject: [PATCH 18/20] Replace NSubstitute with mock implementations from
 EnterpriseIntegrationPlatform.Testing

Rewrite Tutorial40 (Lab.cs, Exam.cs), Tutorial41 (Exam.cs), and
Tutorial46 (Lab.cs, Exam.cs) to use MockOllamaService, MockRagFlowService,
MockObservabilityEventLog, MockTraceAnalyzer, and MockTemporalWorkflowDispatcher
instead of NSubstitute. All test names and assertion logic remain equivalent.
