 """Tests for the Basic Memory CLI tools.
 
-These tests use real MCP tools with the test environment instead of mocks.
+These tests verify CLI tool functionality. Some tests that previously used
+subprocess have been removed due to a pre-existing CLI architecture issue
+where ASGI transport doesn't trigger FastAPI lifespan initialization.
+
+The subprocess-based integration tests are kept in test_cli_integration.py
