chore: scaffold gloss package

Five layered files per the design at docs/design/gloss.org. gloss-core for the data layer, gloss-fetch for the network layer, gloss-display for the UI, gloss-drill for the spaced-repetition export, and gloss.el as the entry point. All five are skeletons. Implementation comes next.

The Makefile delegates to ert with the usual unit, integration, and per-file targets. It also runs paren and lint passes. The package is licensed GPL-3.0-or-later. README is a placeholder pointing at the design doc.

+# Elisp Testing Rules
+
+Applies to: `**/tests/*.el`
+
+Implements the core principles from `testing.md`. All rules there apply here —
+this file covers Elisp-specific patterns.
+
+## Framework: ERT
+
+Use `ert-deftest` for all tests. One test = one scenario.
+
+## File Layout
+
+- `tests/test-<module>.el` — tests for `<module>.el`
+- `tests/test-<module>--<helper>.el` — tests for a specific private helper (matches `<module>--<helper>` function naming)
+- `tests/testutil-<module>.el` — fixtures and mocks scoped to one module
+- `tests/testutil-*.el` — cross-module helpers (shared fixtures, generic mocks, filesystem helpers); name them for what they help with
+
+Tests must `(require 'module-name)` before the testutil file that stubs its internals, unless documented otherwise. Order matters — a testutil that defines a stub can be shadowed by a later `require` of the real module.
+
+## Test Naming
+
+```elisp
+(ert-deftest test-<module>-<function>-<scenario> ()
+  "Normal/Boundary/Error: brief description."
+  ...)
+```
+
+Put the category (Normal, Boundary, Error) in the docstring so the category is grep-able.
+
+## Required Coverage
+
+Every non-trivial function needs at least:
+- One **Normal** case (happy path)
+- One **Boundary** case (empty, nil, min, max, unicode, long string)
+- One **Error** case (invalid input, missing resource, failure mode)
+
+Missing a category is a test gap. If three cases look near-identical, parametrize with a loop or `dolist` rather than copy-pasting.
+
+## TDD Workflow
+
+Write the failing test first. A failing test proves you understand the change. Assume the bug is in production code until the test proves otherwise — never fix the test before proving the test is wrong.
+
+For untested code, write a **characterization test** that captures current behavior before you change anything. It becomes the safety net for the refactor.
+
+## Interactive vs Internal — Split for Testability
+
+When a function mixes business logic with user interaction, split it:
+
+- **Internal** (`cj/--foo`) — pure logic. All parameters explicit. No prompts,
+  no UI. Deterministic and trivially testable.
+- **Interactive wrapper** (`cj/foo`) — thin layer that reads user input and
+  delegates to the internal.
+
+```elisp
+(defun cj/--move-buffer-and-file (dir &optional ok-if-exists)
+  "Move the current buffer's file into DIR. Overwrite if OK-IF-EXISTS."
+  ...)
+
+(defun cj/move-buffer-and-file ()
+  "Interactive wrapper: prompt for DIR, delegate."
+  (interactive)
+  (let ((dir (read-directory-name "Move to: ")))
+    (cj/--move-buffer-and-file dir)))
+```
+
+Test the internal directly with parameter values — no `cl-letf` on
+`read-directory-name`, `yes-or-no-p`, etc. The wrapper gets a smoke test or
+nothing — Emacs already tests its own prompts. The internal also becomes
+reusable by other Elisp code without triggering UI.
+
+## Mocking
+
+Mock at boundaries:
+- Shell: `cl-letf` on `shell-command`, `shell-command-to-string`, `call-process`
+- File I/O when tests shouldn't touch disk
+- Network: URL retrievers, HTTP clients
+- Time: `cl-letf` on `current-time`, `format-time-string`
+
+Never mock:
+- The code under test
+- Core Emacs primitives (buffer ops, string ops, lists)
+- Your own domain logic — restructure it to be testable instead
+
+## Idioms
+
+- `cl-letf` for scoped overrides (self-cleaning)
+- `with-temp-buffer` for buffer manipulation tests
+- `make-temp-file` with `.el` suffix for on-disk fixtures
+- Tests must run in any order; no shared mutable state
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+make test                               # All
+make test-file FILE=tests/test-foo.el   # One file
+make test-name TEST=pattern             # Match by test name pattern
+```
+
+A PostToolUse hook runs matching tests automatically after edits to a module, when the match count is small enough to be fast.
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+- Hardcoded timestamps — generate relative to `current-time` or mock
+- Testing implementation details (private storage structure) instead of behavior
+- Mocking the thing you're testing
+- Skipping a failing test without an issue to track it
