name: "ContextScout: Bad Request Handling - Vague or Invalid Queries"
description: |
  Tests that ContextScout handles bad requests gracefully:
  - Vague queries with no clear intent
  - Requests for non-existent topics
  - Ambiguous requests that need clarification
  
  This validates:
  - ContextScout doesn't fabricate context that doesn't exist
  - ContextScout reports when no relevant files found
  - ContextScout suggests alternatives or clarifications
  - ContextScout still uses tools to verify (not assumptions)
  
  Expected Behavior:
  - MUST use tools to search (even if nothing found)
  - MUST report honestly when no relevant files exist
  - SHOULD suggest related topics or clarifications
  - MUST NOT fabricate file paths
  - SHOULD explain what was searched and why nothing matched
  
  This test SHOULD FAIL if:
  - ContextScout fabricates files that don't exist
  - ContextScout doesn't search (assumes nothing exists)
  - ContextScout returns generic answer without verification
  - ContextScout provides unhelpful response

# - Uses glob to search for related terms
# - Finds no relevant files (topic doesn't exist in repo)
# - Reports honestly: "No context files found for this topic"
# - Suggests: "Did you mean: [related topics]?" or "Available topics: [list]"
# - Does NOT fabricate paths
# - Does NOT return generic answer without searching
