# T04: All 59 tests pass — existing mocks compatible, new think-tag stripping test added

**All 59 tests pass — existing mocks compatible, new think-tag stripping test added**

## What Happened

Added test_strip_think_tags with 7 test cases (single block, multiline, multiple blocks, passthrough, empty, special characters, think-only). All 59 tests pass (6 ingest + 11 pipeline + 5 search + 13 public API + 24 review).

## Verification

59/59 tests pass including new think-tag stripping test

## Verification Evidence

| # | Command | Exit Code | Verdict | Duration |
|---|---------|-----------|---------|----------|
| 1 | `cd backend && python3 -m pytest tests/ -v --tb=short` | 0 | ✅ pass — 59 passed in 140.24s | 140240ms |
