Description
Summary
Let GocciaTestRunner select test files related to explicit source files or to files changed from a version-control reference.
Why
Large suites need a deterministic one-shot way to run the tests affected by a change without executing every test file. The project already has module resolution and graph-aware work planned for 0.13.0, making this the appropriate seam for dependency-based selection.
Current behavior
The runner expands supplied files and directories and executes all discovered script files. It does not construct a test-to-module dependency map or consult version-control changes.
Expected behavior
- Select tests related to one or more explicitly supplied source modules.
- Select tests related to files changed from a supplied Git reference, with a documented default reference.
- Use GocciaScript's actual module resolution rules, including aliases, import maps, and supported virtual-module identities.
- Handle added, modified, renamed, and deleted paths predictably.
- Keep selection deterministic across interpreter/bytecode modes and local
--jobsvalues. - Report the selected test-file set in human-readable and structured output.
Scope notes
- Base selection on the static module graph; runtime tracing of dynamic dependencies is not required.
- Watch mode is a separate persistent-runner issue that can reuse this selector.
- Do not introduce Node/npm resolution, a Vite dependency graph, or a distributed test service.
- Test-name and source-line filtering remain a registration-level concern.

Research direction
Start at GocciaTestRunner and the project's existing module-resolution implementation. Define the static dependency-based selector around those seams, then verify that explicit sources and Git changes select deterministic test sets and that human-readable and structured reports cover the stated path cases.
