+;;; test-show-kill-ring--insert-item.el --- Tests for show-kill-insert-item -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; Tests for `show-kill-insert-item' in show-kill-ring.el — inserts a
+;; kill-ring entry into the current buffer, truncating to
+;; `show-kill-max-item-size' with an ellipsis when too long.  The ellipsis
+;; sits inline for short items and on its own line for items wider than the
+;; frame.  Frame width is read at runtime so the test is environment-stable.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(require 'ert)
+(require 'show-kill-ring)
