There are some Github Actions in place.  It should be running the "make
check" process.

Depending on the bug, sometimes unit tests can't be written (e.g. if it's
a UI issue).  But in general, for the engine, yes, we try to add a
test-case along with the bugfix.  But there is no hard-and-fast rule.
