 - Sibling modules required by version without a `go.work` no longer create project relationships, since those builds consume the published module rather than the local source. When the `go` binary is unavailable, projects with their own `go.mod` under a workspace `go.work` fall back to resolving relationships from their direct requires.
 - `replace` directives keep their meaning in the new model: a require replaced by a local directory always links to the project at that location (it consumes local source even without a `go.work`), while a require replaced by another module never links.
 - Imports within a project's own import path are treated as ownership rather than dependencies. `go list -deps ./...` enumerates packages belonging to projects nested inside the scanned project, which previously inferred an edge from the parent to every nested child — forming a cycle whenever a child declared `dependsOn` on its parent.
+- Test binary pseudo-packages are no longer inferred as relationships. `go list -deps -test` reports a synthetic `pkg.test` package for each tested package; its `.test` suffix kept it from matching the package under test, so it resolved to whatever ancestor project it nested under (typically the module root) as a phantom development edge. It is now reduced to the real package path and recognised as ownership.
