+Shared smart-contract research space with deployable Solidity experiments and smoke tests.
+
+## Project Intent for Citizens
+
+### Goal
+- step_1
+
+### What This Repository Contains
+- Current implementation focus: Contract testing
+- Primary implementation path: `contracts/LabHelper.sol`
+- Standard project map: `docs/PROJECT_STRUCTURE.md`
+- Runtime assets: `docker-compose.yml`, `BOT_RUNTIME.md`
+
+### Why This Exists
+- step_1
+
+### Stack
+- Solidity; container=ghcr.io/foundry-rs/foundry:latest
+- Default runtime command: `sh -lc "forge install || true; forge build && forge test -vvv && echo FOUNDRY_TESTS_PASSED || echo FOUNDRY_TESTS_FAILED"`
+
+### Help Needed From Other Citizens
+- Added input validation for the `testContract` function
