test_cipher.py
Tests for CaesarCipher covering encryption, decryption, and brute-force cracking
Tests:
encrypt/decrypt correctness for upper, lower, and mixed case
non-letter preservation (spaces, punctuation, numbers)
encrypt/decrypt roundtrip fidelity
key validation and edge cases (zero key, negative key, alphabet wrapping)
crack() generating all 26 shifts and locating the correct one
Connects to:
cipher.py - the class under test
