Learning: In the holidays framework, when no categories parameter is specified in a country class instantiation (e.g., `Georgia(years=2025)`), the PUBLIC category is used by default. There's no need to explicitly specify `categories=PUBLIC` or import the PUBLIC constant for such test cases.

Learning: For holiday tests in the vacanza/holidays project, structure tests by individual holidays rather than by years. Each test method should focus on a specific holiday and test it across multiple years (from start_year through 2050) using helper methods like `assertHolidayName`. For fixed holidays, use generators like `(f"{year}-01-01" for year in range(1991, 2051))`. For movable holidays, specify individual dates for specific years followed by a range check.

Learning: In the Guinea holidays implementation, observed Eid al-Fitr cases are properly covered by the test_eid_al_fitr_day() method, which tests both the regular holiday dates and the observed dates when the holiday falls on a non-working day (for years >= 2023).

Learning: In the holidays project, test files follow a dual testing approach: individual methods test specific holidays across multiple years, while comprehensive year-specific tests (e.g., `test_2025`) verify all holidays for a specific year in a single assertion. Both approaches serve different testing purposes and complement each other.

Learning: In the vacanza/holidays project tests, when testing holidays that span multiple consecutive days across many years (like Mongolia's National Festival spanning July 11-13), prefer explicit for loops over complex nested generator expressions with unpacking. The explicit loops are more readable, easier to maintain, and better communicate the testing intent even though the Big O complexity is equivalent.

Learning: In the holidays project, the standard import pattern for country test files is `from holidays.countries.<country> import Country, CODE1, CODE2` (direct module import), used by ~75% of country test files. Only a minority (~25%) use the aggregated public API import `from holidays.countries import Country, CODE1, CODE2`. The direct module import pattern should be used for new country test files to follow the established convention.

This is the established pattern across United States, Thailand, and other l10n-enabled countries, contrary to any suggestion that translation is handled internally by _add_* methods.
