+# HDF5 API test suite migration
+
+`test/` no longer depends on the `HDFGroup/vol-tests` submodule. CI instead
+builds HDF5 from source as the top-level project and pulls this connector
+in as an `HDF5_VOL_ALLOW_EXTERNAL` subproject, the same mechanism HDF5's own
+CI uses to test other external VOL connectors (see `vol_async.yml`,
+`vol_cache.yml`, and `vol_rest.yml` in `HDFGroup/hdf5`'s
+`.github/workflows/`). HDF5's own `test/API`/`testpar/API` suite then
+registers this connector's ctest entries automatically.
+
+## How it's wired
+
+CI configures HDF5 with:
+
+```
+-DHDF5_VOL_ALLOW_EXTERNAL=LOCAL_DIR
+-DHDF5_VOL_PATH01=<path to this checkout>
+-DHDF5_VOL_VOL-DAOS_NAME=daos
+-DHDF5_VOL_VOL-DAOS_TEST_PARALLEL=ON
+```
+
+HDF5's `CMakeVOL.cmake` `add_subdirectory()`s this repo directly into its
+own build, auto-stripping this project's `find_package(HDF5 ...)` calls
+(they'd conflict with targets HDF5's own in-progress build is generating)
+and pre-setting `HDF5_FOUND`/`HDF5_LIBRARIES`/etc. for this project to
+consume instead. `test/API/CMakeLists.txt` then registers one
+`HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_test_<iface>` ctest entry per API test interface,
+plus `HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_ext_test_<name>` entries for this
+connector's own native tests (`test/daos_vol`'s `h5daos_test_*` binaries,
+exposed via the `HDF5_API_EXT_SERIAL_TESTS`/`HDF5_API_EXT_PARALLEL_TESTS`
+variables `test/daos_vol/CMakeLists.txt` sets).
+
+This project does not run its own test-orchestration driver. The DAOS
+server, agent, and pool are started once per CI job via plain shell steps
+(`ci.yml`), not per test -- the same pattern HDF5's own CI uses to start
+HSDS once for `vol-rest`. `test/CMakeLists.txt` still renders
+`daos_server.yml`/`daos_agent.sh`/`daos_pool.sh` from their `.in` templates
+via `configure_file()`; CI locates and runs them directly.
+
+## Handling unsupported features
+
+Where the test suite checks `H5VL_CAP_FLAG_*` before exercising a feature,
+no exclusion is needed -- the connector's capability query already tells
+the test to skip it. Gaps with no capability flag to gate on are excluded
+at the ctest level in `ci.yml` (see "Known gaps" below); HDF5's own driver
+mechanism for finer-grained per-subtest exclusion (`-x <subtest>`) is not
+used here since this project doesn't run through it.
+
+## Known gaps
+
+`ci.yml`'s `ctest` invocation excludes the following as known, tracked
+connector gaps rather than regressions:
+
+- `HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_test_attribute` -- decreasing-order
+  (`H5_ITER_DEC`) attribute iteration is unsupported (`src/daos_vol_attr.c`).
+- `HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_test_testhdf5` -- its `tattr.c` subtest hits the
+  same by-idx/paginated attribute lookup gap while iterating hundreds of
+  attributes. Manifests non-deterministically: sometimes each lookup fails
+  fast and the binary finishes in ~20s, other times the cascading
+  diagnostic output from hundreds of failing lookups is enough to blow
+  past the ctest timeout instead.
+- `HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_test_parallel_t_bigio` -- fails with
+  `DER_NOSPACE`; the 4GB test pool (`DAOS_POOL_SIZE`) is too small for this
+  test's writes.
+- `HDF5_VOL_vol-daos-h5_api_test_parallel_testphdf5` -- its `h5oflusherror`
+  subtest expects `H5Oflush` to fail (a native-VOL-only limitation); DAOS
+  correctly succeeds, but there's no per-subtest exclusion available
+  without HDF5's own C++ test-API driver, so the whole binary is excluded.
+
+Beyond the core API test suite, `-R 'HDF5_VOL_vol-daos'` also matches
+HDF5's own tool-test suites (`tools/test/{h5dump,h5diff,h5copy,h5ls}`,
+which likewise iterate `HDF5_EXTERNAL_VOL_TARGETS`). On the `develop`
+matrix leg this currently surfaces a real connector gap, not a test
+harness bug: `h5dumpgentest` (the fixture that generates reference files
+for nearly all `H5DUMP` comparison tests) crashes because DAOS VOL
+correctly reports external-link creation, UD-link creation, and
+`H5Oset_comment`/object-optional as unsupported, and `h5dumpgentest`'s own
+generator code (written for the native VOL) doesn't check those return
+codes before using the resulting handle. Since `h5dumpgentest` is a single
+shared fixture, this one crash cascades into most of the tool-test
+failures on that leg. The real fix is adding external-link, UD-link, and
+`H5Oset_comment` support to `src/daos_vol_link.c`/`src/daos_vol_obj.c` --
+tracked as a separate connector-feature gap, not addressed by this PR.
