#013 gdtest_auto_discover OK INIT
Auto-discover: no metadata files, no __all__
No pyproject.toml, no setup.cfg, no setup.py โ€” zero metadata files. Three exports (Engine class, ignite, shutdown). On the Reference page you should see 'Classes' and 'Functions' sections. The key test: Great Docs discovers the package purely from directory structure.

Build Mode

○ No great-docs.yml

This package has no pre-supplied config. It tests the full great-docs initgreat-docs build pipeline from scratch, relying entirely on auto-detection of the package layout, docstring style, and exports.
