LamNI's tomo_scan() wrote a separate scilog entry ("Starting subtomo:
N...") every time the sub-tomogram number changed -- 8 extra entries
per tomo_type-1 scan, and one per sub-tomogram traversed for types 2/3
-- leftover behavior carried over from omny.py during the flomni->lamni
port. Flomni itself never does this: it only writes at scan start (PDF
report) and scan end (timing summary). Removed the three
_write_subtomo_to_scilog() call sites and the now-unused method so
LamNI's scilog behavior matches Flomni's.
Also fixed a stale test (test_tomo_queue_reacquire_rejects_when_another_job_is_incomplete)
that encoded the old, buggy tomo_queue_reacquire() invariant (rejecting
on ANY other job being incomplete/running) rather than the fixed one
from the prior commit (only an EARLIER job is a real conflict) --
split it into two tests covering both directions.

Getting Started with Testing using pytest
BEC is using the pytest framework. It can be installed via
pip install pytest
in your python environment.
We note that pytest is part of the optional-dependencies [dev] of the plugin package.
Introduction
Tests in this package should be stored in the tests directory.
We suggest to sort tests of different submodules, i.e. scans or devices in the respective folder structure, and to folow a naming convention of <test_module_name.py>.
It is mandatory for test files to begin with test_ for pytest to discover them.
To run all tests, navigate to the directory of the plugin from the command line, and run the command
pytest -v --random-order ./tests
Note, the python environment needs to be active.
The additional arg -v allows pytest to run in verbose mode which provides more detailed information about the tests being run.
The argument --random-order instructs pytest to run the tests in random order, which is the default in the CI pipelines.
Test examples
Writing tests can be quite specific for the given function. We recommend writing tests as isolated as possible, i.e. try to test single functions instead of full classes. A very useful class to enable isolated testing is MagicMock. In addition, we also recommend to take a look at the How-to guides from pytest.
