+# MARISOL.md — Pipeline Context for sol-release
+
+## Pipeline History
+- *2026-03-27* — Implement: Completed comprehensive unit tests for the media cleanup and tagging workflow simulation module. All 15 tests pass successfully.
+- *2026-03-27* — Implement: Created media_cleanup.py module (675 lines) implementing MediaFileMetadata, FolderState, MediaCleanupProcessor, MediaTaggingSimulator, and CombinedReleaseSimulator classes.
+- *2026-03-27* — Implement: Created test_media_cleanup.py module (619 lines, 15 tests) covering serialization, folder state management, workflow simulation, and full pipeline testing.
+- *2026-03-27* — Test Execution: All 15 tests pass using pytest framework on Ubuntu 24.04 container.

+## Notes
+- Pre-releases only, auto-cleanup maintains 5 most recent
+- RELEASE_TOKEN required for cross-repo asset downloads
+- GITHUB_TOKEN automatically provided for release creation
+- Component releases trigger dispatch events via peter-evans/repository-dispatch@v2

+## Testing
+
+The repository includes comprehensive unit tests for workflow simulation and media cleanup operations.
+
+### Test Modules
+
+- **`tests/test_media_cleanup.py`** - 15 tests covering:
+  - Media file metadata serialization and operations
+  - Folder state management and resolution tracking
+  - Media cleanup processor workflow simulation
+  - Media tagging operations
+  - Combined release package creation
+  - Full workflow end-to-end testing
+
+### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+cd tests
+python -m pytest test_media_cleanup.py -v
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+All tests use pytest framework and simulate:
+- Repository dispatch events from component repos
+- Workflow step execution and artifact downloads
+- Metadata merging and serialization
+- Combined release package creation
+- Media file analysis and tagging workflows
+
+## Media Cleanup Module
+
+The `tests/media_cleanup.py` module provides simulation tools for media file management workflows:
+
+### Key Components
+
+- **`MediaFileMetadata`** - Represents individual media files with shot types, categories, and tags
+- **`FolderState`** - Tracks folder processing status and resolution percentages
+- **`MediaCleanupProcessor`** - Orchestrates media file scanning, analysis, and resolution
+- **`MediaTaggingSimulator`** - Handles release tagging and categorization operations
+- **`CombinedReleaseSimulator`** - Creates combined release packages from processed media
+
+### Workflow Simulation
+
+The `simulate_full_workflow()` function orchestrates complete media cleanup pipelines:
+1. Directory scanning for media files
+2. Automatic analysis and categorization
+3. Release tagging with version identifiers
+4. Combined package creation
+5. Cleanup report generation
