+# Muxio Ext Test
+
+This crate is intended for testing of crates that would otherwise have circular dependencies (and therefore not publishable).
+
+## Test discovery
+
+Any Rust files placed under the `tests/` directory (recursively) will be auto-included
+when running `cargo test`. A build script (`build.rs`) generates `tests/auto_tests.rs`
+which declares modules for each discovered `*.rs` file. Do not edit `tests/auto_tests.rs`
+manually; it is regenerated on test builds.
+
+If you need to add tests, create `.rs` files under `tests/` (for example `tests/foo/bar.rs`).
+The test runner will generate module names automatically.
