Description

## Description / Steps to reproduce / Feature proposal
- Work through the steps to build todoList on top of todos

## Current Behavior

- If the todoList tutorial is pulled from the repo / using `lb4 example` it will include tests.
- Tests are not automatically created if starting with the todo example and building todoList using `lb4 controller` etc

## Expected Behavior

- Update docs: Remind users they may need to add tests
- ~~Make it easy to add existing tests (or use this opportunity for a tutorial-within-tutorial on building tests) - see #885~~

Research direction

Start with the todoList tutorial and the `lb4 example` and `lb4 controller` flows described in the issue. Update the relevant tutorial guidance to remind users that tests may need to be added when building todoList manually, and confirm the documentation distinguishes this from the generated example that already includes tests.
