Get test detail including variable definitions and owner slots

## Usage

```bash
ktm tests get <id> [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
# Get test detail as JSON
ktm tests get 16480

# Get test detail as table
ktm tests get 16480 -o table
```

## Arguments

| Argument | Required |
| --- | --- |
| `id` | Yes |

## Details

Fetch a single test by ID and display its variable definitions.

The response shows what input_variables (regular text, secrets, owner references)
and direct_owners (resource slots) the test requires. Use this to understand what
values must be provided when constructing campaign JSON for "ci build" / "ci run".

Variable kinds:
  regular   — free-text value
  secret    — encrypted value (shown as ********)
  owner     — resource reference (SIM, ETHERNET, or SMARTPHONE identifier)

Owner kinds (in variables.owners):
  SIM         — national MSISDN from "resources list --type sim"
  ETHERNET    — hostname from "resources list --type web-agent"
  SMARTPHONE  — UUID from "resources list --type smartphone"

## Notes

- Fast, minimal detail (required variables and owner slots), ideal before building a campaign. For the full definition with actions and dependencies, use [`ktm tests inspect`](/cli/commands/tests/inspect).
