Implementation Complete ✅

All requirements from the problem statement have been successfully implemented and review comments addressed:

✅ Bug Fixes

Fixed malformed shebang line in BackSEOAgencies.py (#!/usr/bin python3.12 → #!/usr/bin/env python3)
All code passes security scan (0 vulnerabilities found)

✅ Python Version Update

Updated .python-version from 3.12 to 3.13 (latest stable)
pyproject.toml supports Python >=3.12 (includes 3.13)

✅ README Improvements

✅ Testing Infrastructure

Created comprehensive test suite with pytest
Added 3 test modules: test_backseo_settings.py, test_backseo_datahandler.py, test_integration.py
Created pytest.ini configuration
Added test dependencies to requirements.txt and pyproject.toml
Updated .gitignore for test artifacts
Tests skip gracefully when optional dependencies unavailable
All runnable tests pass: 5 passed, 5 skipped

✅ Review Comments Addressed

Fixed test_integration.py to use absolute paths from PROJECT_ROOT instead of relative paths
Patched user_settings_dir() in test_backseo_settings.py to avoid polluting developer/CI machine
Removed unused imports (Mock, patch, MagicMock) from test_backseo_datahandler.py (already done)

Test Results

5 passed, 5 skipped in 0.04s

Security Summary

✅ No security vulnerabilities detected by CodeQL scanner.

tests/test_integration.py

+# Add project root to path to ensure imports work
+sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))))
+
+
+class TestProjectStructure:
+    """Test that the project structure is correct."""
+
+    def test_main_modules_exist(self):
+        """Test that main modules exist."""
+        modules = [
+            "BackSEOAgencies.py",
+            "BackSEOSettings.py",
+            "BackSEODataHandler.py",
+            "BackSEOApplicationManager.py",
+            "PluginController.py",
+            "FlaskApp.py",
+            "core.py",
+            "__main__.py",
+        ]
+
+        for module in modules:
+            assert os.path.exists(module), f"Module {module} should exist"
+


These structure checks use os.path.exists() with relative paths, but the test never chdirs to the repo root. If pytest is invoked from a different working directory (common in some CI/tooling), these will fail even though the files exist. Use the computed project root (from __file__) to build absolute paths (e.g., root / module) for existence checks.

Agreed. Needs to go back and fix

Fixed in commit efbf2de. Tests now compute PROJECT_ROOT from __file__ and use absolute paths (e.g., PROJECT_ROOT / module) for all existence checks.

tests/test_backseo_settings.py

+    @pytest.fixture(autouse=True)
+    def setup_and_teardown(self):
+        """Set up test fixtures and clean up after tests."""
+        # Clear singleton instance before each test
+        BackSEOSettings._instances.clear()
+
+        # Create temporary directory for test outputs
+        self.test_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp()
+        self.original_cwd = os.getcwd()
+        os.chdir(self.test_dir)
+


The fixture changes CWD to a temp dir, but BackSEOSettings() still creates settingsOutpath under the real user home directory via user_settings_dir() and writes settings.bseo there. This pollutes a developer/CI machine and can make tests flaky across runs. Patch user_settings_dir() (and any other home-based paths) to point into the temp directory before instantiating BackSEOSettings, or refactor BackSEOSettings to allow injecting the settings directory for tests.

Fixed in commit efbf2de. The fixture now patches BackSEOSettings.user_settings_dir to return a temporary directory, preventing pollution of the developer/CI machine.
