Fix mandatory Python tests duplicated into Old Script Format suite

[rquidute]

Summary

Fixes project-chip/certification-tool#1087

TC-IDM-10.2, TC-IDM-10.3, TC-IDM-10.4, TC-IDM-10.5, and TC-IDM-12.1 were listed under both Mandatory SDK Python Tests and SDK Python Tests → Old Script Format, causing them to run twice via the TH CLI.

Root cause

Regression introduced by #346 ("Allow mandatory tests to be sideloaded"). That PR replaced the mandatory: bool flag in __parse_python_tests() with a 3-valued CollectionType enum (NON_MANDATORY / MANDATORY / ALL), but in rewriting the classification if/elif chain, the LEGACY-suite fallback branch lost its python_test_type != MANDATORY guard:

elif collection_type != CollectionType.MANDATORY:
    suites[SuiteType.LEGACY].add_test_case(test_case)

This only checks the target collection, never the test's own type. So when building the NON_MANDATORY ("SDK Python Tests") collection, a test case whose python_test_type is MANDATORY falls through the COMMISSIONING/NO_COMMISSIONING branches and lands in SuiteType.LEGACY ("Old script format") anyway — while it's also correctly placed in SuiteType.MANDATORY when the MANDATORY collection is built separately.

Fix

Restore the type guard on the LEGACY fallback:

elif (
    python_test_type != PythonTestType.MANDATORY
    and collection_type != CollectionType.MANDATORY
):
    suites[SuiteType.LEGACY].add_test_case(test_case)

This preserves #346's intent — mandatory tests sideloaded via custom test collections (CollectionType.ALL) still land in SuiteType.MANDATORY via the first branch — while stopping mandatory tests from also leaking into "Old script format" when building the NON_MANDATORY collection.

Testing

Added regression tests in test_sdk_python_collection.py:

• test_mandatory_test_not_duplicated_in_old_script_format_suite — asserts a mandatory test case (TC_IDM_10_2) is absent from every suite of the non-mandatory "SDK Python Tests" collection, and that the collection has no "Old script format" suite at all when its only legacy-shaped test is mandatory.
• test_mandatory_test_present_in_mandatory_collection — asserts the same test case is still correctly present in the "Mandatory SDK Python Tests" collection.

Added a mandatory-shaped (TC_IDM_10_2-style, single "Run entire test" step) fixture test case to test_python_script/python_tests_info.json to exercise this path.

Verified the branch logic in isolation for all (python_test_type, collection_type) combinations to confirm no other regressions:

• Mandatory tests: excluded from NON_MANDATORY, included in MANDATORY and ALL.
• Non-mandatory legacy tests: included in NON_MANDATORY and ALL, excluded from MANDATORY.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds TC_DeviceConformance metadata for TC_IDM_10_2. Legacy suite classification now excludes mandatory Python tests. Tests create the mandatory Python collection and verify that TC_IDM_10_2 is absent from the non-mandatory “Old script format” suite and present in the “Python Testing Suite - Mandatories” suite.

Apply Black formatting to the mandatory suite lookup.

Black reports this multiline lookup as a formatting failure. Use the single-line form so the repository's formatting check passes.

Proposed fix

-    mandatory_suite = mandatory_python_test_collection.test_suites[
-        mandatory_suite_name
-    ]
+    mandatory_suite = mandatory_python_test_collection.test_suites[mandatory_suite_name]

📝 Committable suggestion

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change

	mandatory_suite = mandatory_python_test_collection.test_suites[
	mandatory_suite_name

	mandatory_suite = mandatory_python_test_collection.test_suites[mandatory_suite_name]
