Set up backend test infrastructure

Add pytest fixtures (engine, db_session, client) with session-scoped
event loop to avoid asyncpg loop mismatch errors. Smoke tests verify
all three main API endpoints return empty results on a clean DB.
Test DB provided by docker-compose.test.yml on port 5433.

 Set up the foundational test infrastructure for the FastAPI backend so that all subsequent test tasks can build on it.
 
+## Approach
+
+- Session-scoped async engine: creates all tables once via `Base.metadata.create_all()`, drops them after all tests finish
+- Function-scoped `db_session` fixture: provides a fresh `AsyncSession`, overrides the `get_session` FastAPI dependency, and truncates all tables after each test for isolation
+- Function-scoped `client` fixture: `httpx.AsyncClient` with `ASGITransport` — hits the real app stack including middleware and routing
+- `asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "session"` and `asyncio_default_test_loop_scope = "session"` added to pyproject.toml so all fixtures and tests share the same session event loop (required to avoid asyncpg "Future attached to different loop" errors)
+- Test database URL read from `TEST_DATABASE_URL` env var (default: `postgresql+asyncpg://postgres:postgres@localhost:5433/nuzlocke_test`)
+- The test DB is provided by `docker-compose.test.yml` (postgres on port 5433, `nuzlocke_test` DB created automatically)
+
 ## Checklist
 
-- [ ] Create `backend/tests/conftest.py` with shared fixtures
-- [ ] Set up a test database strategy (use a separate test PostgreSQL database or SQLite for speed — evaluate trade-offs)
-- [ ] Create an async test client fixture using `httpx.AsyncClient` with the FastAPI `app`
-- [ ] Create a database session fixture that creates/drops tables per test session or uses transactions for isolation
-- [ ] Add factory fixtures or helpers for creating common test entities (games, pokemon, runs, etc.)
-- [ ] Verify the setup works by writing a simple smoke test (e.g. health endpoint returns 200)
-- [ ] Document how to run tests (e.g. `pytest` from backend dir, any env vars needed)

-## Notes
-
-- pytest, pytest-asyncio, and httpx are already in pyproject.toml dev dependencies
-- AsyncIO mode is set to "auto" in pyproject.toml
-- The app uses SQLAlchemy async with asyncpg — test fixtures need to handle async session management
-- Consider using `SAVEPOINT`-based transaction rollback for test isolation (faster than recreating tables)
+- [x] Add `asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "session"` and `asyncio_default_test_loop_scope = "session"` to `pyproject.toml`
+- [x] Create `backend/tests/conftest.py` with `engine`, `db_session`, and `client` fixtures
+- [x] Write a smoke test in `backend/tests/test_smoke.py` to verify the setup
+- [x] Verify all tests pass (`pytest` from backend dir)

 Add comprehensive unit and integration test coverage to both the backend (FastAPI/Python) and frontend (React/TypeScript). The project currently has zero tests — pytest is configured in pyproject.toml with pytest-asyncio and httpx, but no actual test files exist. The frontend has no test tooling at all.
