Description
our mechanism for acceptance testing is a disgrace, creating file trees in test scripts to run nested py.test instances against it is both wastefull, and hard to debug
instead we should have the file trees that show the issues inside of our source tree for direct use and examination
this also relates to #2207

Research direction
Start by reviewing the current acceptance-testing mechanism, especially the test scripts that create file trees and launch nested py.test instances. Read the discussion in #2207 as related context. Done means acceptance tests can use file trees placed directly in the source tree for execution and examination.
