Plan for adding single file and glob pattern execution support to tstest

!! FIRST: Reread /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md to ensure following all guidelines !!

Goal - ✅ COMPLETED

• ✅ Make tstest test/test.abc.ts run the specified file directly
• ✅ Support glob patterns like tstest test/*.spec.ts or tstest test/**/*.test.ts
• ✅ Maintain backward compatibility with directory argument

Current behavior - UPDATED

• ✅ tstest now supports three modes: directory, single file, and glob patterns
• ✅ Directory mode now searches recursively using **/test*.ts pattern
• ✅ Single file mode runs a specific test file
• ✅ Glob mode runs files matching the pattern

Completed changes

1. ✅ Update cli argument handling in index.ts

• ✅ Detect argument type: file path, glob pattern, or directory
• ✅ Check if argument contains glob characters (*, **, ?, [], etc.)
• ✅ Pass appropriate mode to TsTest constructor
• ✅ Added TestExecutionMode enum

2. ✅ Modify TsTest constructor and class

• ✅ Add support for three modes: directory, file, glob
• ✅ Update constructor to accept pattern/path and mode
• ✅ Added executionMode property to track the mode

3. ✅ Update TestDirectory class

• ✅ Used listFileTree for glob pattern support
• ✅ Used SmartFile.fromFilePath for single file loading
• ✅ Refactored to support all three modes in _init method
• ✅ Return appropriate file array based on mode
• ✅ Changed default directory behavior to recursive search
  • ✅ When directory argument: use **/test*.ts pattern for recursive search
  • ✅ This ensures subdirectories are included in test discovery

4. ✅ Test the implementation

• ✅ Created test file test/test.single.ts for single file functionality
• ✅ Created test file test/test.glob.ts for glob pattern functionality
• ✅ Created test in subdirectory test/subdir/test.sub.ts for recursive search
• ✅ Tested with existing test files for backward compatibility
• ✅ Tested glob patterns: test/test.*.ts works correctly
• ✅ Verified that default behavior now includes subdirectories

Implementation completed

1. ✅ CLI argument type detection implemented
2. ✅ TsTest class supports all three modes
3. ✅ TestDirectory handles files, globs, and directories
4. ✅ Default pattern changed from test*.ts to **/test*.ts for recursive search
5. ✅ Comprehensive tests added and all modes verified
