dotnet test --no-restore silently no-ops in a fresh worktree where the test bin/ doesn't exist yet (reports 'Build succeeded in 0.5s' then exit 0). Discovered shipping PR openclaw#332. Add a brief gotcha so future agents (and humans) running first-run validation in a new worktree don't get a false-green pass. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
Discovered in PR #332 that dotnet test --no-restore silently no-ops in a fresh worktree where the test bin/ doesn't exist yet, reporting 'Build succeeded in 0.5s' then exiting with 0 and no tests run.
This addition documents the gotcha so future agents (and humans) running first-run validation in a new worktree avoid a false-green pass. The fix is to either omit --no-restore or run dotnet build on the test project first.
