• Error handling and robustness

Documentation: MAP_ELUNA_TESTS.md

3. Creature Eluna Delegation Tests

File: CreatureElunaTests.cpp Status: ✅ 17 tests passing

Tests for creature Eluna delegation to map:

• GetEluna() method functionality
• Delegation to map's GetEluna()
• Same Eluna instance as map
• Map context availability
• Multiple creatures sharing Eluna
• Different maps having different Eluna
• Null map handling
• Instance persistence
• Type safety
• Distinction from global Eluna
• Configuration awareness
• Lifecycle management
• Spawned/summoned/temporary creatures
• Instance creatures
• World creatures

Documentation: CREATURE_ELUNA_TESTS.md

4. Core Lua Execution Tests

File: CoreLuaExecution.cpp Status: ✅ 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for core Lua functionality:

• Script loading and execution
• Variable assignment
• Function definition and calling
• Table operations
• Error handling

Note: Full tests require server context with initialized Eluna

5. Data Type Conversion Tests

File: DataTypeConversions.cpp Status: 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for Lua C++ type conversions:

• LuaValue creation
• Type conversions (int, float, string, bool, nil)
• Type coercion
• Table handling

Note: Full tests require Lua state access

6. Event System Tests

File: EventSystem.cpp Status: 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for event handling:

• Event registration
• Event callbacks
• Handler state persistence
• Error handling in handlers

Note: Full tests require server event system

7. Integration Tests

File: Integration.cpp Status: ✅ 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for integration scenarios:

• Script lifecycle
• Cross-script variable access
• Module patterns
• Standard library functions

Note: Full tests require full server initialization

8. Edge Case Tests

File: EdgeCases.cpp Status: ✅ 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for edge cases:

• Empty scripts
• Nil and false values
• Recursion and closures
• Metamethods
• Operator precedence

Note: Full tests require Lua state access

9. Method Binding Tests

File: MethodBindings.cpp Status: ✅ 2 tests passing (placeholders)

Placeholder tests for C++ method bindings:

• Binding availability
