This change removes the shellspec-based smoke tests.
These tests were originally added to validate high-level
platform workflows.
Over the past few years, our engineering practices have improved.
We now have more mature monitoring for upstream APIs, making
these tests redundant. The same validation is now handled by
the teams who own those API endpoints.
Additionally, our command-line interface (CLI) now provides
much richer analytics, giving us a clearer understanding of
the end-user experience for all workflows.
This makes a periodically run subset of tests unnecessary.
Finally, the shellspec framework is no longer maintained.
To reduce complexity and cognitive overhead for all contributors,
we are consolidating our testing frameworks to use Jest and Tap.
These tests will not be migrated to Jest,
as their purpose is already fulfilled by other systems.
