I wanted to add tests, but it looks like the current kitchen tests are not used? They point to a recipe that does not exist (anymore).

It looks like at the moment only the 'default' suit is used and works.
Should I add a test for 2025?

@damacus , do you know of anyone who can review or assist with this pr?

I’m looking any people who seem to recently worked on souls-chef cookbooks, and I noticed you seem pretty active. I’ve tried to get access to the chef community slack, but so far just radio silence.

Is anything needed for this pr to get a review?

[damacus]

Will do 👍
Unless someone else get to it tomorrow.
In the mean time I'll set copilot on it

[bryanwieg]

Many thanks :)

A couple of syntax nicities.

I'll add tests to the existing setup before I merge this if they're not there already
