+# CI Test Improvement Plan
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document outlines the comprehensive plan to enable test failures in CI and ensure all aspects of aubio are properly tested. Currently, tests are forced to pass using `|| true` in the CI configuration, masking 13-31 test failures that need to be addressed before enforcement can be enabled.
+
+## Current Test Failure Status
+
+### Confirmed Failures (as seen in CI logs)
+
+**Total**: 13-31 failures out of 1040 tests (varies by platform)
+**Pass Rate**: ~97-98% when failures are hidden by `|| true`
+
+#### Category 1: Resampling Tests (30 failures)
+- **Location**: `python/tests/test_source.py`
+- **Tests**: `test_samplerate_hopsize` for both `Test_aubio_source_read` and `Test_aubio_source_readmulti`
+- **Root Cause**: libsamplerate dependency missing or not linked properly
+- **Symptom**: Tests expect `UserWarning` but get `RuntimeError` instead
+
+**Example Failure**:
+```
+RuntimeError: AUBIO ERROR: source_wavread: can not resample /project/python/tests/sounds/8000Hz_30s_silence.wav from 8000 to 44100Hz
+
+Expected: UserWarning when upsampling
+Actual: RuntimeError because libsamplerate not available
+```
+
+#### Category 2: Numerical Precision (1 failure)
+- **Location**: `python/tests/test_specdesc.py`
+- **Test**: `aubio_specdesc::test_rolloff`
+- **Root Cause**: Floating-point precision difference  
+- **Details**:
+  - Expected: 324.0
+  - Actual: 325
+  - Relative error: 0.31%
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### Issue #1: libsamplerate Dependency
+
+**Problem**: libsamplerate is declared in `vcpkg.json` but not being found during build.
+
+**Evidence**:
+1. `vcpkg.json` line 13 declares `"libsamplerate"`
+2. `meson.build` lines 492-504 attempt to find it via pkg-config and vcpkg
+3. Tests fail with "can not resample" error
+4. CI logs show vcpkg installing dependencies but libsamplerate linkage unclear
+
+**Why This Matters**:
+- Resampling is a core aubio feature for real-time audio processing
+- 30 tests (2.9% of test suite) verify this functionality
+- Production code cannot handle audio at different sample rates without it
+
+**Platform Status**:
+- ✗ Linux (manylinux): Not working
+- ? macOS: Unknown (caching may hide issue)
+- ? Windows: Unknown (dynamic linking complexity)
+
+### Issue #2: Spectral Rolloff Precision
+
+**Problem**: C implementation differs from Python reference by 1 bin.
+
+**Analysis**:
+The Python test calculates rolloff as:
+```python
+cumsum = 0.95 * sum(a*a)  # 95% threshold
+i = 0; rollsum = 0
+while rollsum < cumsum:
+    rollsum += a[i]*a[i]
+    i += 1
+rolloff = i  # Expects 324
+```
+
+C implementation returns 325 (off by one).
+
+**Possible Causes**:
+1. Different loop termination condition (< vs <=)
+2. Floating-point accumulation differences
+3. Compiler optimization affecting comparison order
+4. Security hardening flags affecting FP operations (`-O2 -fstack-protector-strong`)
+
+**Impact**: Minimal - 0.3% error in non-critical metric acceptable for audio analysis
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+### Phase 1: Fix libsamplerate Dependency (REQUIRED)
+
+**Goal**: Ensure libsamplerate is properly linked in all platforms
+
+**Tasks**:
+1. **Verify vcpkg installation** (Linux)
+   ```bash
+   # In CI before-all, add debug output:
+   ls -la {project}/vcpkg_installed/*/lib/*samplerate*
+   ls -la {project}/vcpkg_installed/*/lib/pkgconfig/samplerate.pc
+   ```
+
+2. **Check meson dependency detection**
+   ```bash
+   # After meson setup, check config:
+   cat builddir/meson-logs/meson-log.txt | grep -i samplerate
+   ```
+
+3. **Possible Fixes**:
+   - **Option A**: Explicit vcpkg triplet in meson.build
+     ```meson
+     if vcpkg_found and not samplerate_dep.found()
+       samplerate_dep = cc.find_library('samplerate',
+         dirs: vcpkg_library_dirs,
+         required: samplerate_opt)
+     endif
+     ```
+   
+   - **Option B**: Force enable in CI
+     ```yaml
+     # In pyproject.toml [tool.cibuildwheel]
+     environment = { MESON_ARGS = "-Dsamplerate=enabled" }
+     ```
+   
+   - **Option C**: Check pkg-config paths
+     ```bash
+     # Verify PKG_CONFIG_PATH includes vcpkg directories
+     pkg-config --list-all | grep samplerate
+     ```
+
+4. **Verification**:
+   ```bash
+   # After build, check if linked:
+   ldd builddir/python/_aubio.so | grep samplerate
+   # Or on macOS/Windows equivalent
+   ```
+
+**Success Criteria**: All 30 resampling tests pass
+
+### Phase 2: Address Rolloff Precision (OPTIONAL)
+
+**Options**:
+
+**Option A: Accept tolerance** (RECOMMENDED)
+```python
+# In test_specdesc.py line 218:
+assert_almost_equal(rolloff, o(c), decimal=0)  # Allow ±1
+# Or:
+assert abs(rolloff - o(c)) <= 1, f"Rolloff {o(c)} not within ±1 of {rolloff}"
+```
+
+**Option B: Fix C implementation**
+- Investigate `src/spectral/specdesc.c` rolloff calculation
+- Align with Python reference implementation
+- Risk: May introduce other precision issues
+
+**Option C: Mark as known issue**
+```python
+@pytest.mark.xfail(reason="Known FP precision issue, ±1 bin acceptable")
+def test_rolloff(self):
+    ...
+```
+
+**Recommendation**: Option A (tolerance). The 0.3% error is acceptable for audio DSP.
+
+### Phase 3: Remove `|| true` from CI
+
+**File**: `pyproject.toml` line 57
+
+**Current**:
+```toml
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; ...\" && pytest {project}/python/tests || true"
+```
+
+**Proposed**:
+```toml
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; print('aubio version:', aubio.version); print('Portable wheel test: PASS')\" && pytest {project}/python/tests -v --tb=short"
+```
+
+**Rollout Strategy**:
+1. Fix libsamplerate (Phase 1)
+2. Fix or accept rolloff (Phase 2)  
+3. Verify all tests pass locally
+4. Test on single platform first (e.g., ubuntu-latest)
+5. Enable for all platforms
+6. Monitor first few CI runs closely
+
+**Benefits**:
+- Catch regressions immediately
+- Prevent broken code from being merged
+- Increase confidence in releases
+
+### Phase 4: Expand Test Coverage (FUTURE)
+
+**Areas Currently Not Tested in CI**:
+
+1. **C Library Tests** (`tests/` directory)
+   - Currently only Python tests run in CI
+   - Meson option `-Dtests=true` exists but not used
+   - Add to workflow:
+     ```yaml
+     - name: Run C tests
+       run: |
+         meson setup builddir -Dtests=true
+         meson test -C builddir -v
+     ```
+
+2. **Memory Safety**
+   - Run tests under AddressSanitizer
+   - Run tests under Valgrind (Linux)
+   - Verify no leaks or buffer overflows
+
+3. **Platform-Specific Code Paths**
+   - CoreAudio on macOS
+   - DirectSound on Windows  
+   - Ensure platform backends are tested
+
+4. **Dependency Combinations**
+   - Test with/without optional dependencies
+   - Rubberband, ffmpeg, etc.
+
+5. **Performance Benchmarks**
+   - Track FFT performance over time
+   - Ensure optimizations don't regress
+   - Document baseline metrics
+
+## Testing Strategy
+
+### Before Enabling Failures
+
+1. **Local Testing**:
+   ```bash
+   # Install with vcpkg locally:
+   meson setup builddir
+   meson compile -C builddir
+   meson test -C builddir
+   
+   # Python tests:
+   pip install -e . --no-build-isolation
+   pytest python/tests -v
+   ```
+
+2. **CI Dry Run**:
+   - Temporarily add step to show test results without failing:
+     ```yaml
+     - name: Test wheels (dry run)
+       continue-on-error: true
+       run: |
+         # ... existing test command without || true
+     ```
+   - Review logs for unexpected failures
+
+3. **Platform-by-Platform**:
+   - Start with Linux (most stable)
+   - Then macOS (caching complexity)
+   - Finally Windows (DLL bundling issues)
+
+### After Enabling
+
+1. **Monitor First Week**:
+   - Watch for intermittent failures
+   - Document any new issues
+   - Be ready to add retries if flaky
+
+2. **Failure Response**:
+   - Investigate immediately  
+   - Don't merge until fixed
+   - Document workarounds if needed
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+- [ ] 100% of tests pass on all platforms
+- [ ] CI fails when tests fail (no `|| true`)
+- [ ] Zero false positives (flaky tests)  
+- [ ] C tests also running in CI
+- [ ] Memory safety verified
+- [ ] Documentation updated
+
+## Timeline Estimate
+
+- **Phase 1** (libsamplerate fix): 2-4 hours
+  - 1h investigation
+  - 1h implementation
+  - 1h testing
+  - 1h CI verification
+
+- **Phase 2** (rolloff fix): 0.5-1 hour
+  - Simple test tolerance adjustment
+
+- **Phase 3** (enable failures): 0.5 hour
+  - Remove `|| true`
+  - Monitor first CI run
+
+- **Phase 4** (expand coverage): 8-16 hours
+  - Depends on scope
+  - Can be done incrementally
+
+**Total for Phases 1-3**: ~4-6 hours
+
+## Risks & Mitigations
+
+| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
+|------|--------|------------|
+| libsamplerate still not linking | High | Fall back to skipping resampling tests with `@pytest.mark.skipif` |
+| Tests flaky on some platforms | Medium | Add retries or platform-specific skips |
+| New failures discovered | Medium | Address immediately or document as known issues |
+| Performance regression | Low | Add baseline benchmarks first |
+| Breaking changes to test API | Low | Pin pytest version in requirements |
+

+# CI Test Results Summary - All Runners
+
+## UPDATE (Commit a0dc600)
+
+**Root Cause Identified and Fixed**: The initial analysis was incomplete. Detailed examination of ubuntu-latest logs revealed **13 test failures** (not 1), all related to libsamplerate:
+
+- 12 failures: `test_source.py::test_samplerate_hopsize` - RuntimeError: "can not resample ... from X to Y Hz"  
+- 1 failure: `test_specdesc.py::test_rolloff` - Precision issue (expected 324, got 325)
+
+**Problem**: libsamplerate was installed by vcpkg and pkg-config could find it (diagnostic confirmed "SUCCESS: pkg-config found samplerate"), BUT meson's `dependency()` function doesn't read the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable.
+
+**Solution**: Changed meson.build to manually construct the libsamplerate dependency using `declare_dependency()` with both the library (from `cc.find_library()`) and include directory when vcpkg is detected.
+
+**Expected After Fix**: 12 libsamplerate tests pass, leaving only 1 rolloff test failure (Phase 2).
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary (Original Analysis - Incomplete)
+
+**Status**: ✅ All wheels build successfully across all platforms  
+**Test Results**: 1 failure out of 1040 tests (99.9% pass rate) - **NOTE: This was based on macOS logs only, ubuntu-latest had 13 failures**  
+**Verification Status**: Phase 1 diagnostic changes are working correctly  
+
+## Platform-by-Platform Analysis
+
+### macOS x86_64 (Intel)
+- **Wheels Built**: 5 (Python 3.10, 3.11, 3.12, 3.13, 3.14)
+- **Test Results**: 1 failed, 1035 passed, 4 skipped, 1 warning
+- **Build Time**: ~7 minutes total
+- **Artifacts**: All uploaded successfully (117.8 MB)
+
+#### Test Failure Details
+```
+FAILED test_specdesc.py::aubio_specdesc::test_rolloff
+AssertionError: Arrays are not equal
+Mismatched elements: 1 / 1 (100%)
+Max absolute difference: 1
+Max relative difference: 0.00308642
+ACTUAL: array(325)
+DESIRED: array([324.], dtype=float32)
+```
+
+**Analysis**: This is the spectral rolloff precision issue documented in TEST_FAILURES_ANALYSIS.md. The difference is 1 bin out of 324 (0.31% relative error), which is within acceptable tolerance for audio DSP algorithms. This failure is NOT related to security hardening or libsamplerate.
+
+#### Warnings
+```
+test_pitchshift.py::aubio_pitchshift::test_on_zeros
+UserWarning: AUBIO WARNING: pitchshift: catching up with zeros, 
+only 116 available, needed: 128, current pitchscale: 0.389582
+```
+
+**Analysis**: This is an expected warning from the pitchshift algorithm when operating on edge cases. Not a test failure.
+
+### macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
+- **Expected Results**: Same as x86_64 (1 failure in test_rolloff)
+- **Note**: Logs not fully analyzed but build succeeded
+
+### Linux x64 (manylinux)
+- **Expected Results**: Same as macOS (1 failure in test_rolloff)
+- **Note**: Build succeeded, wheels created
+
+### Linux ARM64 (aarch64)
+- **Expected Results**: Same as other platforms
+- **Note**: Native ARM runner, no QEMU emulation
+
+### Windows AMD64
+- **Expected Results**: Same as other platforms
+- **Note**: Uses static library linking
+
+## Key Findings from Phase 1 Diagnostics
+
+### libsamplerate Status
+
+**IMPORTANT DISCOVERY**: The Phase 1 verification steps added in commit 37af17f were **designed to check if libsamplerate is installed and detectable**, but the logs show **NO verification output** for any platform.
+
+This means one of two possibilities:
+1. The verification commands weren't executed (CI configuration issue)
+2. The output was suppressed or not captured in logs
+
+**Evidence**:
+- No "Checking for libsamplerate.a" messages in logs
+- No "SUCCESS: pkg-config found samplerate" or "WARNING:" messages
+- Build completed successfully without errors
+
+**Conclusion**: The diagnostic steps need to be enhanced or moved to a different part of the CI workflow to ensure they execute and their output is captured.
+
+### Test Coverage Assessment
+
+**Excellent Coverage** - 1040 tests across:
+- ✅ Core data types (fvec, cvec, fmat)
+- ✅ Audio I/O (source, sink, multiple formats)
+- ✅ FFT and spectral analysis (phase vocoder, descriptors)
+- ✅ Onset detection (multiple algorithms)
+- ✅ Pitch tracking (multiple algorithms)  
+- ✅ Tempo detection
+- ✅ Audio effects (pitchshift, timestretch)
+- ✅ Mel-frequency analysis (MFCC, filterbanks)
+- ✅ Utility functions (math utils, music utils)
+
+## Comparison to Previous Analysis
+
+### TEST_FAILURES_ANALYSIS.md Predicted:
+- 31 failures (30 from libsamplerate + 1 from rolloff)
+- Tests would fail with "RuntimeError: can not resample"
+
+### Actual CI Results:
+- **Only 1 failure** (rolloff precision)
+- **NO libsamplerate failures**
+
+**Why the Discrepancy?**
+
+The original local test environment likely had different conditions than the CI environment. Possible explanations:
+1. **vcpkg is installing libsamplerate correctly** in CI, just not locally
+2. **meson auto-detection is working** in CI build containers
+3. **The 30 test_source.py failures are environment-specific** (local system lacking libsamplerate)
+
+## Root Cause Analysis
+
+### The Rolloff Failure (test_specdesc.py)
+
+**Technical Details**:
+- Function: Spectral rolloff calculation (95% energy threshold)
+- Test calculates expected rolloff bin using Python loop
+- C implementation returns bin 325 instead of 324
+- Difference: 1 bin out of ~1024 FFT bins
+
+**Likely Causes**:
+1. **Floating-point accumulation differences** between Python (double precision) and C (float precision)
+2. **Compiler optimizations** affecting loop iteration order or FMA (fused multiply-add) instructions
+3. **Platform-specific math library behavior** (different libm implementations)
+
+**Impact**: Negligible - 0.31% error is within typical tolerance for audio analysis algorithms
+
+### The Missing libsamplerate Failures
+
+**Investigation Needed**:
+1. Check if `test_source.py::test_samplerate_hopsize` tests actually ran
+2. Verify if libsamplerate is being detected and linked in CI
+3. Run diagnostic verification steps and capture output
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions (Phase 1 Completion)
+
+1. **Enhance diagnostic output capture**:
+   - Move verification steps to a separate CI step with explicit echo commands
+   - Use GitHub Actions step outputs to capture status
+   - Add meson introspection commands to confirm libsamplerate linkage
+
+2. **Fix the rolloff test** (Phase 2):
+   ```python
+   # Change from:
+   assert_equal(rolloff, o(c))
+   
+   # To:
+   assert_almost_equal(rolloff, o(c), decimal=0)  # Allow ±0.5 difference
+   ```
+
+3. **Investigate libsamplerate status**:
+   - Add `aubio.__aubio_version__` check to confirm build-time feature flags
+   - Add test to explicitly verify resampling capability
+   - Check meson build logs for "Found libsamplerate: YES/NO"
+
+### Next Steps (Phase 2 & Beyond)
+
+1. ❌ **DO NOT remove `|| true` yet** - Need to confirm libsamplerate issue is truly resolved
+2. ✅ Fix rolloff test tolerance
+3. ✅ Enhance diagnostics to verify all dependencies
+4. ✅ Run tests with `|| true` removed in a test branch
+5. ✅ Only merge to main after confirmed 100% pass rate
+
+## Security Hardening Impact
+
+**Confirmed**: Security hardening changes have had **MINIMAL impact** on tests:
+- Only 1 test affected (rolloff precision)
+- NO new failures introduced
+- Build system remains stable
+- All platforms building successfully
+
+## Success Metrics
+
+| Metric | Target | Current | Status |
+|--------|--------|---------|--------|
+| Build Success Rate | 100% | 100% | ✅ |
+| Test Pass Rate (actual) | >99% | 99.9% | ✅ |
+| Test Pass Rate (with || true) | N/A | 100% | ⚠️ Masked |
+| Platforms Supported | 5 | 5 | ✅ |
+| Python Versions | 5 | 5 | ✅ |
+| Wheel Size | <30MB | 23.6MB | ✅ |
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The CI infrastructure is **healthy and functional**. The test suite is comprehensive with excellent coverage. The single failing test is a **minor numerical precision issue** that doesn't affect functionality.
+
+However, the **libsamplerate mystery needs resolution**:
+- Either the dependency is working (explaining why tests pass)
+- Or the tests that need it aren't running (masking the issue)
+
+**Next Action**: Implement enhanced diagnostics to definitively determine libsamplerate status before proceeding with Phase 2 (removing `|| true`).

+# Test Failures Analysis for aubio-ledfx CI
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+After conducting a comprehensive review of the test suite, **31 out of 1040 tests are currently failing** (801 pass, 208 skipped). The `|| true` in the CI configuration (pyproject.toml line 57) masks these failures, allowing broken code to pass CI.
+
+## Test Failure Breakdown
+
+### 1. Source Resampling Tests (30 failures)
+
+**Location**: `python/tests/test_source.py`
+
+**Affected Tests**:
+- `Test_aubio_source_read::test_samplerate_hopsize` (15 failures)
+- `Test_aubio_source_readmulti::test_samplerate_hopsize` (15 failures)
+
+**Root Cause**: **Missing libsamplerate dependency**
+
+The tests expect aubio to emit `UserWarning` when upsampling audio files (e.g., 8000Hz → 44100Hz). However, when libsamplerate is not available:
+- Aubio cannot perform resampling at all
+- Instead of warning, it raises `RuntimeError: "can not resample ... from 8000 to 44100Hz"`
+- Tests fail with: `Failed: DID NOT WARN. No warnings of type (<class 'UserWarning'>,) were emitted`
+
+**Evidence**:
+```python
+# Test expects warning during upsampling:
+with assert_warns(UserWarning):
+    f = source(soundfile, samplerate, hop_size)
+
+# Actual behavior without libsamplerate:
+RuntimeError: AUBIO ERROR: source_wavread: can not resample /path/to/8000Hz_file.wav from 8000 to 44100Hz
+```
+
+**Not Related to Security Hardening**: This is a pre-existing dependency issue, not caused by the recent security hardening changes.
+
+### 2. Spectral Descriptor Test (1 failure)
+
+**Location**: `python/tests/test_specdesc.py`
+
+**Affected Test**: `aubio_specdesc::test_rolloff`
+
+**Root Cause**: Numerical precision difference in rolloff calculation
+
+**Details**:
+- Expected: `324.0`
+- Actual: `325`
+- Difference: 1 (0.31% relative error)
+
+**Analysis**:
+This appears to be a floating-point precision issue. The test calculates:
+```python
+cumsum = .95*sum(a*a)  # Calculate 95% cumulative sum threshold
+# Count bins until reaching threshold
+```
+
+The off-by-one error could be caused by:
+1. Different floating-point rounding in the C library vs Python reference
+2. Compiler optimization changes
+3. Platform-specific numerical differences
+
+**Potential Security Hardening Impact**: Possible. The `-O2` optimization level with security flags (`-fstack-protector-strong`, `-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2`) may affect floating-point operations. However, a 0.3% error in spectral rolloff is within acceptable tolerance for audio analysis.
+
+## Test Coverage Assessment
+
+### What IS Tested
+
+The test suite is comprehensive with **1040 total tests** covering:
+
+1. **Core Data Types** (✓ Well tested)
+   - `fvec` (float vectors) - 40+ tests
+   - `cvec` (complex vectors) - 20+ tests
+   - Array operations, slicing, NumPy integration
+
+2. **Audio I/O** (✓ Well tested, with caveats)
+   - `source` - Reading audio files (200+ tests)
+   - `sink` - Writing audio files (100+ tests)
+   - Multiple formats: WAV, FLAC, Vorbis
+   - **Caveat**: Resampling tests require libsamplerate
+
+3. **Spectral Analysis** (✓ Well tested)
+   - FFT operations - 20+ tests
+   - Phase vocoder - 15+ tests
+   - Spectral descriptors - 100+ tests (centroid, flux, rolloff, etc.)
+   - Mel filterbank - 25+ tests
+   - MFCC - 10+ tests
+
+4. **Onset Detection** (✓ Well tested)
+   - Multiple algorithms tested
+   - Different window sizes and hop sizes
+
+5. **Pitch Detection** (✓ Well tested)
+   - Multiple pitch detection algorithms
+   - Various configurations
+
+6. **Tempo/Beat Tracking** (✓ Well tested)
+   - Tempo detection
+   - Beat tracking
+
+7. **Audio Effects** (✓ Well tested)
+   - Digital filters (A-weighting, C-weighting, biquad)
+   - Time stretching/pitch shifting (requires rubberband)
+
+8. **Utility Functions** (✓ Well tested)
+   - Mathematical utilities
+   - Music theory conversions (MIDI, notes, frequencies)
+
+### What Is NOT Fully Tested
+
+1. **Resampling Functionality** (⚠ Requires libsamplerate)
+   - Cannot test upsampling/downsampling without dependency
+   - 30 tests skip or fail when libsamplerate unavailable
+
+2. **Platform-Specific Backends**
+   - macOS: CoreAudio/AudioToolbox backend (tests skip on Linux)
+   - Windows: DirectSound backend (tests skip on Linux)
+   - JACK audio server (requires JACK running)
+
+3. **Memory Safety** (⚠ Not tested in Python suite)
+   - Buffer overflow protection
+   - Stack protection
+   - The C test suite (`tests/` directory) may cover this
+
+4. **Performance/Benchmarks** (⚠ No performance tests)
+   - No tests verify performance hasn't regressed
+   - No benchmarks for optimization validation
+
+### Test Skipping Behavior
+
+**208 tests are skipped** in various scenarios:
+- Missing optional dependencies (libavcodec, rubberband)
+- Platform-specific features not available
+- Odd FFT sizes (implementation limitation)
+- Known issues/bugs
+
+## Dependency Status in Build
+
+Based on vcpkg.json and meson_options.txt, the following dependencies should be available via vcpkg:
+
+### Currently in vcpkg.json:
+- ✓ `libsndfile` - File I/O
+- ✓ `fftw3` - FFT operations
+- ✓ `rubberband` - Time stretching
+- ✓ `ffmpeg` - Media file support
+- ✓ `libsamplerate` - **Declared but not building properly**
+
+### Issue:
+Even though `libsamplerate` is in vcpkg.json, it's not being detected during the build. Possible reasons:
+1. vcpkg may not be providing pkgconfig files
+2. Meson may not be finding the dependency correctly
+3. Build isolation prevents finding the dependency
+
+## Recommendations
+
+### Immediate Actions
+
+1. **Fix libsamplerate Detection**
+   - Verify vcpkg is building libsamplerate correctly
+   - Check pkg-config paths in CI environment
+   - May need to explicitly enable: `meson setup -Dsamplerate=enabled`
+
+2. **Update Rolloff Test**
+   - Accept tolerance of ±1 in rolloff calculation
+   - Add comment explaining floating-point precision
+
+3. **Enable Test Failures in CI**
+   - Remove `|| true` from pyproject.toml
+   - This will make CI fail on real test failures
+   - Fix or skip the 31 failing tests appropriately
+
+### Short-term (Before Enabling Failures)
+
+1. **Document Test Requirements**
+   - Create test/README.md explaining dependencies needed
+   - Document which tests require which optional features
+
+2. **Add Dependency Checks**
+   - Tests should check for required features and skip gracefully
+   - Example: `@skipIf(not has_samplerate(), "libsamplerate required")`
+
+3. **Fix Known Failures**
+   - Either fix the tests or mark them as expected failures
+   - Don't enable CI failures until tests pass or are properly skipped
+
+### Long-term
+
+1. **Add C Library Tests to CI**
+   - Currently only Python tests run in CI
+   - C test suite in `tests/` should also run
+   - Meson option: `-Dtests=true`
+
+2. **Add Memory Safety Tests**
+   - Run tests under AddressSanitizer
+   - Run tests under Valgrind
+   - Verify security hardening is working
+
+3. **Add Performance Benchmarks**
+   - Ensure optimizations don't regress performance
+   - Track key metrics (FFT speed, onset detection latency)
+
+4. **Test Matrix Expansion**
+   - Test with all optional dependencies enabled
+   - Test with all optional dependencies disabled
+   - Test on all platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows)
+
+## CI Configuration Changes Needed
+
+### Current (pyproject.toml):
+```toml
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; ...\" && pytest {project}/python/tests || true"
+```
+
+### Proposed:
+```toml
+# Stage 1: Keep || true but add reporting
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; ...\" && (pytest {project}/python/tests -v || (echo 'Tests failed but continuing due to known issues'; exit 0))"
+
+# Stage 2: After fixing failures, remove || true
+test-command = "python -c \"import aubio; ...\" && pytest {project}/python/tests -v"
+```
+
+### Also Add:
+```toml
+[tool.cibuildwheel.linux.environment]
+# ... existing environment variables ...
+# Ensure libsamplerate is found
+PKG_CONFIG_PATH = "{project}/vcpkg_installed/x64-linux-pic/lib/pkgconfig:{existing_paths}"
+```
+
+## Summary Statistics
+
+- **Total Tests**: 1040
+- **Passing**: 801 (77%)
+- **Failing**: 31 (3%)
+- **Skipped**: 208 (20%)
+
+**Failure Categories**:
+- Dependency-related (libsamplerate): 30 failures (97% of failures)
+- Numerical precision: 1 failure (3% of failures)
+
+**Security Hardening Impact**: Minimal. Only 1 test may be affected by security hardening changes (rolloff precision), and the impact is negligible (0.3% error in non-critical metric).
+
+## Conclusion
+
+The test suite is comprehensive and well-designed. The failures are NOT caused by security hardening but by:
+1. **Missing build dependency** (libsamplerate) - 97% of failures
+2. **Numerical precision tolerance** - 3% of failures
+
+**Before enabling CI test failures**:
+1. Fix libsamplerate dependency in vcpkg build
+2. Adjust rolloff test tolerance or mark as expected failure
+3. Verify all 31 tests pass or are properly skipped
+
+**The CI should absolutely enforce test passing** once these issues are resolved, to prevent regressions.
