+# Testing Anti-Patterns
+
+## Overview
+
+Tests must verify real behavior, not mock behavior. Mocks are a means to isolate, not the thing being tested.
+
 **Core principle:** Test what the code does, not what the mocks do.
 
+**Following strict TDD prevents these anti-patterns.**

 **Why this is wrong:**
-- Partial mocks hide structural assumptions
-- Downstream code may depend on fields you didn't include
-- Tests pass but integration fails
-- False confidence about real behavior
+- **Partial mocks hide structural assumptions** - You only mocked fields you know about
+- **Downstream code may depend on fields you didn't include** - Silent failures
+- **Tests pass but integration fails** - Mock incomplete, real API complete
+- **False confidence** - Test proves nothing about real behavior
+
+**The Iron Rule:** Mock the COMPLETE data structure as it exists in reality, not just fields your immediate test uses.
 
-**✅ CORRECT: Mock complete data structures**
+**The fix:**
 ```typescript
-// Mock the COMPLETE data structure as it exists in reality
+// ✅ GOOD: Mirror real API completeness
 const mockResponse = {
   status: 'success',
   data: { userId: '123', name: 'Alice' },
-  metadata: { requestId: 'req-456', timestamp: '2024-01-01' },
-  headers: { 'content-type': 'application/json' }
+  metadata: { requestId: 'req-789', timestamp: 1234567890 }
+  // All fields real API returns
 };
 ```
 
-## Anti-Pattern 5: Over-Mocking
+### Gate Function
 
-**❌ WRONG: Everything is mocked**
-```typescript
-test('saves user', () => {
-  const mockUser = { id: '1', name: 'John' };
-  const mockDb = { save: vi.fn().mockResolvedValue(mockUser) };
-  
-  vi.mocked(userService.save).mockResolvedValue(mockUser);
-  vi.mocked(db.save).mockResolvedValue(mockUser);
-  vi.mocked(cache.set).mockResolvedValue();
-  
-  const result = await saveUser(mockUser);
-  expect(result).toBe(mockUser);
-});
+```
+BEFORE creating mock responses:
+  Check: "What fields does the real API response contain?"
+
+  Actions:
+    1. Examine actual API response from docs/examples
+    2. Include ALL fields system might consume downstream
+    3. Verify mock matches real response schema completely
+
+  Critical:
+    If you're creating a mock, you must understand the ENTIRE structure
+    Partial mocks fail silently when code depends on omitted fields
+
+  If uncertain: Include all documented fields
+```
+
+## Anti-Pattern 5: Integration Tests as Afterthought
+
+**The violation:**
+```
+✅ Implementation complete
+❌ No tests written
+"Ready for testing"
 ```
 
 **Why this is wrong:**
-- Testing mock behavior, not real behavior
-- No integration verification
-- Easy to pass incorrect implementation
+- Testing is part of implementation, not optional follow-up
+- TDD would have caught this
+- Can't claim complete without tests
 
-**✅ CORRECT: Mock only what you must**
-```typescript
-test('saves user', async () => {
-  const mockUser = { id: '1', name: 'John' };
-  
-  // Only mock the external dependency (database)
-  vi.mocked(db.save).mockResolvedValue(mockUser);
-  
-  const result = await saveUser(mockUser);
-  expect(result).toEqual(mockUser);
-  // Real business logic tested, only DB isolated
-});
+**The fix:**
+```
+TDD cycle:
+1. Write failing test
+2. Implement to pass
+3. Refactor
+4. THEN claim complete
 ```
 
-## Prevention Guidelines
+## When Mocks Become Too Complex
+
+**Warning signs:**
+- Mock setup longer than test logic
+- Mocking everything to make test pass
+- Mocks missing methods real components have
+- Test breaks when mock changes
+
+**your human partner's question:** "Do we need to be using a mock here?"
+
+**Consider:** Integration tests with real components often simpler than complex mocks
+
+## TDD Prevents These Anti-Patterns
+
+**Why TDD helps:**
+1. **Write test first** → Forces you to think about what you're actually testing
+2. **Watch it fail** → Confirms test tests real behavior, not mocks
+3. **Minimal implementation** → No test-only methods creep in
+4. **Real dependencies** → You see what the test actually needs before mocking
 
-**When writing tests:**
-- Test behavior, not implementation
-- Mock at the right level
-- Understand dependencies before mocking
-- Use real implementations where possible
+**If you're testing mock behavior, you violated TDD** - you added mocks without watching test fail against real code first.
 
-**When adding test utilities:**
-- Keep test-only code in test utilities
-- Don't pollute production classes
-- Separate test concerns from production logic
+## Quick Reference
 
-**When mocking:**
-- Understand what the mock does in reality
-- Preserve necessary side effects
-- Mock complete data structures
-- Mock at the lowest level possible
+| Anti-Pattern | Fix |
+|--------------|-----|
+| Assert on mock elements | Test real component or unmock it |
+| Test-only methods in production | Move to test utilities |
+| Mock without understanding | Understand dependencies first, mock minimally |
+| Incomplete mocks | Mirror real API completely |
+| Tests as afterthought | TDD - tests first |
+| Over-complex mocks | Consider integration tests |
 
-## Usage Examples
+## Red Flags
 
-**Before writing test:**
-`/testing-anti-patterns "writing integration test for user service"`
+- Assertion checks for `*-mock` test IDs
+- Methods only called in test files
+- Mock setup is >50% of test
+- Test fails when you remove mock
+- Can't explain why mock is needed
+- Mocking "just to be safe"
 
-**Before adding mock:**
-`/testing-anti-patterns "mocking external API call"`
+## The Bottom Line
 
-**Before adding test utility:**
-`/testing-anti-patterns "creating test cleanup helper"`
+**Mocks are tools to isolate, not things to test.**
 
-**When refactoring tests:**
-`/testing-anti-patterns "refactoring mock-heavy test suite"`
+If TDD reveals you're testing mock behavior, you've gone wrong.
 
-Remember: Following strict TDD prevents these anti-patterns naturally.
+Fix: Test real behavior or question why you're mocking at all.

-## Common Claims & Verification
-
-| Claim | Requires Verification | Not Sufficient |
-|-------|----------------------|----------------|
-| Tests pass | `npm test` output: 0 failures | "Previously passed" |
-| Linter clean | ESLint output: 0 errors | "Should be clean" |

-## Key Verification Patterns
-
-### Test Verification
-```bash
-# ✅ CORRECT
-npm test
-# See: "34/34 tests passing"
-"All tests pass"
-
-# ❌ WRONG  
-"Should pass now"
-"Looks correct"
-```
+## Common Failures
 
-### Build Verification
-```bash
-# ✅ CORRECT  
-npm run build
-# See: exit code 0
-"Build succeeds"
-
-# ❌ WRONG
-"Looks good"  
-"Linter was clean"
-```
-
-### Bug Fix Verification
-```bash
-# ✅ CORRECT
-# Re-create original bug scenario
-# See: bug no longer occurs
-"Bug fixed: original error no longer reproduces"
-
-# ❌ WRONG
-"Made the changes"
-"Code looks right"
-```
-
-### Regression Test (TDD Red-Green)
-```bash
-# ✅ CORRECT
-# Step 1: Write failing test
-# Step 2: Run test (must fail)
-# Step 3: Write minimal fix
-# Step 4: Run test (must pass) 
-# Step 5: Revert fix → Run (must fail)
-# Step 6: Restore fix → Run (must pass)
-"Red-green cycle verified"
-```
-
-### Requirements Verification
-```bash
-# ✅ CORRECT
-# Re-read requirements
-# Create verification checklist
-# Check each requirement against implementation
-# Report completion or gaps
-
-"Requirements verification complete:"
-"✅ Feature A implemented"
-"✅ Feature B implemented"  
-"❌ Feature C incomplete"

+| Claim | Requires | Not Sufficient |

+| Tests pass | Test command output: 0 failures | Previous run, "should pass" |
+| Linter clean | Linter output: 0 errors | Partial check, extrapolation |
+| Build succeeds | Build command: exit 0 | Linter passing, logs look good |
+| Bug fixed | Test original symptom: passes | Code changed, assumed fixed |
+| Regression test works | Red-green cycle verified | Test passes once |
+| Agent completed | VCS diff shows changes | Agent reports "success" |
