-## 1. Vitest Best Practices
-
-### 1.1 Debugging Failing Tests
-
-#### Running Specific Tests
-```bash
-# Run a specific test file
-vitest run path/to/test.ts
-
-# Run tests matching a pattern
-vitest run --testNamePattern="should validate"
-
-# Run only failed tests from last run
-vitest run --reporter=verbose --bail 1
-```
-
-#### Using Vitest UI
-```bash
-# Start Vitest UI for interactive debugging
-vitest --ui
-
-# UI with coverage
-vitest --ui --coverage
-```
-
-#### Debug Mode
-```bash
-# Run with Node.js debugger
-vitest --inspect-brk --no-coverage
-
-# Run single test in debug mode
-vitest run --inspect-brk path/to/test.ts
-```
-
-#### Watch Mode for Iterative Debugging
-```bash
-# Watch mode with file filtering
-vitest --watch path/to/test.ts
-
-# Watch mode that runs only changed tests
-vitest --watch --changed
-```
-
-**Best Practice:** Always use watch mode during development to get immediate feedback on test changes.
-
-### 1.2 Understanding Test Failure Patterns
-
-#### Common Failure Types
-
-1. **Assertion Failures**
-   - Expected vs actual values don't match
-   - Usually indicates logic errors or incorrect expectations
-   - Example: `expect(actual).toBe(expected)`
-
-2. **Timeout Errors**
-   - Test exceeds default timeout (5000ms)
-   - Often caused by:
-     - Infinite loops
-     - Unresolved promises
-     - Missing async/await
-     - Slow operations
-
-3. **Mock/Vi Failures**
-   - Mock not called
-   - Wrong arguments passed to mock
-   - Mock not properly restored
-
-4. **Type Errors**
-   - TypeScript compilation issues
-   - Type mismatches in tests
-   - Missing type definitions
-
-### 1.3 Common Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
-
-#### Pitfall 1: Testing Implementation Details
-**Problem:** Tests break when implementation changes without behavior change.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// ❌ Bad - Tests implementation
-expect(userService.fetchUsers).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/api/users')
-
-// ✅ Good - Tests behavior
-await expect(userService.getUsers()).resolves.toEqual(expectedUsers)
-```
-
-#### Pitfall 2: Not Cleaning Up Mocks
-**Problem:** Mocks leak between tests causing flaky behavior.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-import { vi, beforeEach, afterEach } from 'vitest'
-
-beforeEach(() => {
-  vi.clearAllMocks()
-})
-
-afterEach(() => {
-  vi.restoreAllMocks()
-})
-```
-
-#### Pitfall 3: Improper Async Handling
-**Problem:** Tests pass when they should fail or vice versa.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// ❌ Bad - Doesn't wait for promise
-test('async test', () => {
-  fetchData().then(data => {
-    expect(data).toBe('value')
-  })
-})
-
-// ✅ Good - Proper async handling
-test('async test', async () => {
-  const data = await fetchData()
-  expect(data).toBe('value')
-})
-
-// ✅ Also Good - Using promises
-test('async test', () => {
-  return expect(fetchData()).resolves.toBe('value')
-})
-```
-
-#### Pitfall 4: Brittle Assertions
-**Problem:** Tests break due to unrelated changes.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-// ❌ Bad - Too specific
-expect(result).toEqual({
-  id: 1,
-  name: 'Test',
-  createdAt: '2025-01-12T10:00:00.000Z'
-})
-
-// ✅ Good - Focused on what matters
-expect(result).toEqual({
-  id: expect.any(Number),
-  name: 'Test',
-  createdAt: expect.any(String)
-})
-```
-
-#### Pitfall 5: Missing Error Cases
-**Problem:** Only testing happy path.
-
-**Solution:**
-```typescript
-test('handles errors gracefully', async () => {
-  // Mock error response
-  vi.spyOn(api, 'fetch').mockRejectedValue(new Error('Network error'))
-
-  await expect(service.getData()).rejects.toThrow('Network error')
-})
-```
-
-### 1.4 Test Organization Best Practices
-
-#### File Structure
-```
-src/
-  components/
-    Button.tsx
-    Button.test.tsx  # Co-located test
-  utils/
-    helpers.ts
-    helpers.test.ts
-```
-
-#### Test Structure
-```typescript
-describe('UserService', () => {
-  describe('getUsers', () => {
-    beforeEach(() => {
-      // Setup common to all tests in this describe block
-    })
-
-    afterEach(() => {
-      // Cleanup
-    })
-
-    it('should return users when API call succeeds', async () => {
-      // Arrange
-      const expectedUsers = [...]
-      mockApi.getUsers.mockResolvedValue(expectedUsers)
-
-      // Act
-      const result = await userService.getUsers()
-
-      // Assert
-      expect(result).toEqual(expectedUsers)
-    })
-
-    it('should throw error when API call fails', async () => {
-      // Test error case
-    })
-  })
-})
-```

-## 2. Test Maintenance After Bug Fixes
-
-### 2.1 Determining if Test Needs Updating vs Implementation Wrong
-
-#### Decision Framework
-
-**Step 1: Review Requirements**
-- Check if the test reflects current requirements
-- Verify product specifications haven't changed
-- Consult documentation and design documents
-
-**Step 2: Analyze the Failure**
-```typescript
-// Example: Understanding failure context
-test('calculateTotal returns sum with tax', () => {
-  const result = calculateTotal(100, 0.1)
-  expect(result).toBe(110) // Fails - actual: 110.00000000000001
-})
-```
-
-**Analysis Questions:**
-1. Is this a floating-point precision issue? → Update test/approach
-2. Is the calculation logic wrong? → Fix implementation
-3. Have requirements changed? → Update both
-
-**Step 3: Check Test Intent**
-
-| Test Intent | Implementation Detail | Decision |
-|------------|----------------------|----------|
-| Behavior verification | Encapsulates business logic | **Fix implementation** |
-| Implementation detail | Tight coupling to code structure | **Update test** |
-| Edge case | Valid scenario not covered | **Fix implementation** |
-| Brittle assertion | Tests irrelevant details | **Update test** |
-
-### 2.2 Best Practices for Updating Tests
-
-#### When Behavior Changes Intentionally
-
-1. **Document the Change**
-```typescript
-/**
- * Updated: 2025-01-12
- * Reason: Bug fix #123 - Added email validation
- * Previous: Accepted any string
- * Now: Requires valid email format
- */
-test('should validate email format', () => {
-  expect(validateEmail('invalid')).toBe(false)
-  expect(validateEmail('test@example.com')).toBe(true)
-})
-```
-
-2. **Add Regression Tests**
-```typescript
-// Test that prevents regression of the bug
-test('should not allow empty email after bug fix #123', () => {
-  expect(() => validateEmail('')).toThrow('Email is required')
-})
-```
-
-3. **Update Test Suite Structure**
-```typescript
-describe('Bug Fix #123', () => {
-  describe('Previously broken cases', () => {
-    it('should handle edge case X', () => { /* ... */ })
-    it('should handle edge case Y', () => { /* ... */ })
-  })
-
-  describe('Existing functionality preserved', () => {
-    it('should still do Z', () => { /* ... */ })
-  })
-})
-```
-
-#### When Test is Wrong
-
-1. **Identify Test Flaws**
-```typescript
-// ❌ Bad: Tests implementation detail
-test('userService calls API', () => {
-  userService.getUsers()
-  expect(api.fetch).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/users')
-})
-
-// ✅ Good: Tests behavior
-test('userService returns users', async () => {
-  const users = await userService.getUsers()
-  expect(users).toEqual(expectedUsers)
-})
-```
-
-2. **Refactor Test**
-```typescript
-// Before: Brittle test
-test('returns user object', () => {
-  expect(getUser(1)).toEqual({
-    id: 1,
-    name: 'John',
-    email: 'john@example.com',
-    passwordHash: 'abc123...',
-    createdAt: '2025-01-12'
-  })
-})
-
-// After: Focused test
-test('returns user with required fields', () => {
-  const user = getUser(1)
-  expect(user).toMatchObject({
-    id: expect.any(Number),
-    name: expect.any(String),
-    email: expect.stringContaining('@')
-  })
-  expect(user).not.toHaveProperty('passwordHash')
-})
-```
-
-### 2.3 Documenting Test Changes
-
-#### Commit Message Format
-```
-test: update email validation tests after bug fix #123
-
-- Add test for empty email validation
-- Update assertion to check format validation
-- Add regression test for edge case case with special chars
-
-Related: #123
-```
-
-#### Test Documentation Template

- */
-```

-## 3. Common Test Failure Patterns
-
-### 3.1 Understanding Failure Types
-
-#### 1. Assertion Failures
-
-**Pattern:** Expected vs Actual Mismatch
-```typescript
-// Error: Expected: 10, Received: 5
-expect(add(5, 5)).toBe(10)
-```
-
-**Common Causes:**
-- Incorrect implementation logic
-- Wrong test expectations
-- Data type mismatches
-- Async timing issues
-
-**Debug Strategy:**
-```typescript
-// Add logging
-test('debug assertion', () => {
-  const result = calculate(5, 5)
-  console.log('Result:', result)
-  console.log('Type:', typeof result)
-  expect(result).toBe(10)
-})
-```
-
-#### 2. Timeout Errors
-
-**Pattern:** Test exceeds time limit
-```
-Error: Timeout - Async callback was not invoked within the 5000ms timeout
-```
-
-**Common Causes:**
-```typescript
-// 1. Missing await
-test('timeout example', async () => {
-  const result = fetchData() // ❌ Missing await
-  expect(result).toBe('data')
-})
-
-// 2. Unresolved promise
-test('timeout example', () => {
-  fetchData().then(data => {
-    expect(data).toBe('data') // ❌ Promise not returned
-  })
-})
-
-// 3. Infinite loop
-test('timeout example', () => {
-  while (true) { // ❌ Never ends
-    process.nextTick()
-  }
-})
-```
-
-**Solutions:**
-```typescript
-// ✅ Correct async handling
-test('async test', async () => {
-  const result = await fetchData()
-  expect(result).toBe('data')
-})
-
-// ✅ Return promise
-test('async test', () => {
-  return fetchData().then(data => {
-    expect(data).toBe('data')
-  })
-})
-
-// ✅ Increase timeout if needed
-test('slow operation', async () => {
-  const result = await slowOperation()
-  expect(result).toBe('done')
-}, { timeout: 10000 })
-```
-
-#### 3. Mock Failures
-
-**Pattern:** Mock not called or called incorrectly
-```typescript
-// Error: expect(jest.fn()).toHaveBeenCalledWith(...expected)
-// Expected: "/api/users"
-// Received: "/api/user"
-```
-
-**Common Issues:**
-```typescript
-// 1. Mock not set up
-test('mock example', () => {
-  const spy = vi.spyOn(api, 'fetch')
-  // ❌ Forgot to mock implementation
-  service.getData()
-  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled()
-})
-
-// ✅ Correct: Set up mock
-test('mock example', () => {
-  const spy = vi.spyOn(api, 'fetch').mockResolvedValue(data)
-  service.getData()
-  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled()
-})
-
-// 2. Wrong arguments
-test('mock example', () => {
-  const spy = vi.spyOn(api, 'fetch')
-  api.fetch('/users') // ❌ Test expects '/api/users'
-  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalledWith('/api/users')
-})
-
-// 3. Mock not restored
-test('mock example', () => {
-  vi.spyOn(api, 'fetch')
-  // ❌ No cleanup - affects other tests
-})
-```
-
-**Best Practices:**
-```typescript
-beforeEach(() => {
-  vi.clearAllMocks()
-})
-
-afterEach(() => {
-  vi.restoreAllMocks()
-})
-
-// Or use vi.mocked with proper typing
-const mockFetch = vi.mocked(api.fetch)
-```
-
-#### 4. TypeScript Type Errors
-
-**Pattern:** Type mismatches in tests
-```typescript
-// Error: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to parameter of type 'number'
-test('type error', () => {
-  expect(add('5', '5')).toBe(10) // ❌ Type error
-})
-```
-
-**Common Issues:**
-```typescript
-// 1. Missing type casting
-test('type casting', () => {
-  const value = getValue() as string // ❌ Unsafe cast
-  expect(value.toUpperCase()).toBe('TEST')
-})
-
-// ✅ Better: Use type guards
-test('type guard', () => {
-  const value = getValue()
-  if (typeof value === 'string') {
-    expect(value.toUpperCase()).toBe('TEST')
-  }
-})
-
-// 2. Mock return type mismatch
-const mockFn = vi.fn()
-mockFn.mockReturnValue('string') // ❌ Should return number
-const result: number = mockFn()
-```
-
-### 3.2 Reading Vitest Error Output
-
-#### Error Message Structure
-```
-FAIL src/utils/math.test.ts > MathUtils > divide
-  Error: 2 / 0 should throw error
-
-  ❯ src/utils/math.test.ts:15:23
-     13|
-     14|   it('should throw on divide by zero', () => {
-  ❯  15|     expect(() => divide(2, 0)).toThrow()
-       |           ^
-     16|   })
-     17|
-```
-
-**Key Parts:**
-1. **Test Path:** `src/utils/math.test.ts > MathUtils > divide`
-2. **Error Message:** Human-readable description
-3. **File Location:** Line and column number
-4. **Code Context:** Surrounding lines with pointer to failure
-5. **Diff:** Expected vs Actual (for assertion failures)
-
-#### Diff Interpretation
-```
-Error: expect(received).toEqual(expected)
-
-  Expected:  { id: 1, name: "John", active: true }
-  Received:  { id: 1, name: "John", active: false }
-
-  - Expected
-  + Received
-
-    {
-      id: 1,
-      name: "John",
-  -   active: true
-  +   active: false
-    }
-```
-
-**Interpretation:**
-- `-` lines show expected values
-- `+` lines show actual values
-- Focus on the differences (in this case: `active` property)
-
-### 3.3 Common TypeScript Test Issues
-
-#### Issue 1: Property Access on Mocks
-```typescript
-// ❌ Error: Property 'mock' does not exist on type
-const mockFn = vi.fn()
-expect(mockFn.mock.calls.length).toBe(1)
-
-// ✅ Use Vitest's mocked utility
-import { vi, expect } from 'vitest'
-const mockFn = vi.fn()
-expect(mockFn).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1)
-```
-
-#### Issue 2: Module Mocking Type Errors
-```typescript
-// ❌ Type error with vi.mock
-vi.mock('./api', () => ({
-  fetchUsers: vi.fn()
-}))
-
-// ✅ Proper typing
-import { vi } from 'vitest'
-import { fetchUsers } from './api'
-
-vi.mock('./api', () => ({
-  fetchUsers: vi.fn()
-}))
-
-const mockFetchUsers = vi.mocked(fetchUsers)
-mockFetchUsers.mockResolvedValue([])
-```
-
-#### Issue 3. Async Function Return Types
-```typescript
-// ❌ Missing Promise type
-const result = getData() // Type: any
-expect(result).toBe(data)
-
-// ✅ Proper async typing
-const result = await getData() // Type: Data
-expect(result).toBe(data)
-```
-
----
-
-## 4. Test Debugging Strategies
-
-### 4.1 Using Vitest's Debugging Features
-
-#### Console Logging
-```typescript
-test('debug with console', () => {
-  const input = { name: 'test' }
-  console.log('Input:', input)
-
-  const result = process(input)
-  console.log('Result:', result)
-  console.log('Result type:', typeof result)
-
-  expect(result.name).toBe('TEST')
-})
-```
-
-#### Using debug() Method
-```typescript
-import { expect } from 'vitest'
-
-test('debug with expect.debug', () => {
-  const result = complexOperation()
-  expect(result).debug() // Prints value to console
-  expect(result).toHaveProperty('id')
-})
-```
-
-#### Test-Only Focus
-```typescript
-// Run only this test
-test.only('debugging this specific test', () => {
-  // This test runs, others are skipped
-})
-
-// Or use CLI
-vitest run -t "test name pattern"
-```
-
-#### Skipping Tests
-```typescript
-// Skip failing test temporarily
-test.skip('broken test', () => {
-  // This is skipped
-})
-
-// Or skip conditionally
-test.skipIf(isWindows)('unix-only test', () => {
-  // Skipped on Windows
-})
-```
-
-### 4.2 Isolating Failing Tests
-
-#### Strategy 1: Run Single Test File
-```bash
-vitest run path/to/failing.test.ts
-```
-
-#### Strategy 2: Run Specific Test
-```typescript
-// Use test.only
-test.only('failing test', () => {
-  // Only this runs
-})
-
-// Or use pattern matching
-vitest run -t "failing test"
-```
-
-#### Strategy 3: Bisect Tests
-```bash
-# Use binary search to find problematic test
-vitest run --bail 1
-```
-
-#### Strategy 4: Disable Other Tests
-```typescript
-// Comment out or skip other tests temporarily
-describe('Feature', () => {
-  test.skip('test 1', () => { /* ... */ })
-  test.skip('test 2', () => { /* ... */ })
-  test('failing test', () => {
-    // Only this runs
-  })
-})
-```
-
-### 4.3 Understanding Stack Traces
-
-#### Reading Stack Traces
-```
-Error: Cannot read property 'map' of undefined
-
-  ❯ src/utils/users.ts:25:18
-     23|   const users = await fetchUsers()
-     24|   const activeUsers = users.filter(u => u.active)
-  ❯  25|   const names = activeUsers.map(u => u.name)
-       |                    ^
-     26|   return names
-     27| }
-
-  ❯ src/utils/users.test.ts:15:20
-     13|
-     14|   it('should get active user names', async () => {
-  ❯  15|     const names = await getActiveUserNames()
-        |                   ^
-     16|     expect(names).toEqual(['John'])
-     17|   })
-```
-
-**Analysis:**
-1. **Error Location:** Line 25 in `users.ts`
-2. **Error Type:** `Cannot read property 'map' of undefined`
-3. **Root Cause:** `activeUsers` is undefined
-4. **Why:** `users.filter()` returned undefined (users was likely undefined)
-5. **Test Location:** Line 15 in test file
-
-#### Debug Flow
-```typescript
-// 1. Check what's undefined
-test('debug undefined', async () => {
-  const users = await fetchUsers()
-  console.log('Users:', users) // Check if users is undefined
-
-  const activeUsers = users?.filter(u => u.active)
-  console.log('Active users:', activeUsers) // Check result
-})
-```
-
-#### Common Stack Trace Patterns
-
-| Pattern | Meaning | Fix |
-|---------|---------|-----|
-| `Cannot read property 'X' of undefined` | Object is undefined | Add null check or fix data source |
-| `X is not a function` | Wrong type or not imported | Check import and type |
-| `Expected X to be Y` | Assertion failure | Check logic or update expectation |
-| `Timeout exceeded` | Test too long | Fix async code or increase timeout |
-
-### 4.4 Advanced Debugging Techniques
-
-#### Using Node.js Debugger
-```bash
-# Start with inspect flag
-vitest --inspect-brk --no-coverage
-
-# Then in Chrome: chrome://inspect
-# Or in VS Code: Add launch configuration
-```
-
-#### VS Code Launch Configuration
-```json
-{
-  "version": "0.2.0",
-  "configurations": [
-    {
-      "type": "node",
-      "request": "launch",
-      "name": "Debug Vitest",
-      "runtimeExecutable": "npm",
-      "runtimeArgs": ["test", "--", "--inspect-brk", "--no-coverage"],
-      "console": "integratedTerminal",
-      "internalConsoleOptions": "neverOpen"
-    }
-  ]
-}
-```
-
-#### Conditional Breakpoints in Tests
-```typescript
-test('debug specific condition', () => {
-  let value = process(input)
-
-  // Add conditional check
-  if (value !== expected) {
-    console.log('Debug info:', { input, value, expected })
-    debugger // Breaks here in debugger
-  }
-
-  expect(value).toBe(expected)
-})
-```

-### 5.2 Checklist
-
-#### Before Changing Test
-- [ ] Reviewed requirements documentation
-- [ ] Checked if product spec changed
-- [ ] Verified test wasn't testing implementation detail
-- [ ] Confirmed test was correct before bug fix
-- [ ] Consulted with product owner if needed
-
-#### Before Changing Implementation
-- [ ] Verified implementation is wrong
-- [ ] Checked related code for similar issues
-- [ ] Reviewed test assertions are correct
-- [ ] Added regression test for bug fix
-- [ ] Documented the bug and fix
-
-### 5.3 Decision Matrix
-
-| Scenario | Test Behavior | Implementation | Action |
-|----------|--------------|----------------|--------|
-| Bug found in code | Correct | Wrong | Fix implementation, add regression test |
-| Requirements changed | Outdated | Correct | Update test |
-| Test too brittle | Implementation detail | Correct | Refactor test to test behavior |
-| Edge case discovered | Missing | Correct | Add test case |
-| Feature deprecated | Correct | Deprecated | Remove test and implementation |
-| API contract changed | Outdated | Updated | Update test to match new contract |
-
-### 5.4 Examples
-
-#### Example 1: Bug in Implementation
-```typescript
-// Test is correct
-test('should calculate tax correctly', () => {
-  expect(calculateTax(100, 0.1)).toBe(10)
-})
-
-// Implementation has bug
-function calculateTax(amount: number, rate: number): number {
-  return amount * rate // ❌ Missing rounding
-}
-
-// Action: Fix implementation
-function calculateTax(amount: number, rate: number): number {
-  return Math.round(amount * rate * 100) / 100
-}
-```
-
-#### Example 2: Test Needs Update
-```typescript
-// Old behavior
-test('should return active users', () => {
-  const users = getActiveUsers(allUsers)
-  expect(users).toHaveLength(3) // ❌ Old expectation
-})
-
-// New requirement: Include users with 'pending' status
-function getActiveUsers(users: User[]): User[] {
-  return users.filter(u => u.status === 'active' || u.status === 'pending')
-}
-
-// Action: Update test
-test('should return active and pending users', () => {
-  const users = getActiveUsers(allUsers)
-  expect(users).toHaveLength(5) // ✅ Updated
-})
-```
-
-#### Example 3: Test Implementation Detail
-```typescript
-// ❌ Bad: Tests implementation
-test('sortUsers calls Array.sort', () => {
-  const spy = vi.spyOn(Array.prototype, 'sort')
-  sortUsers(users)
-  expect(spy).toHaveBeenCalled()
-})
-
-// ✅ Good: Tests behavior
-test('sortUsers returns users sorted by name', () => {
-  const sorted = sortUsers(users)
-  expect(sorted).toEqual(sortedByName)
-})
-```

-export const createMockUser = (overrides = {}) => ({
-  id: 1,
-  name: 'Test User',
-  email: 'test@example.com',
-  ...overrides
-})
-
-export const waitForCondition = async (
-  condition: () => boolean,
-  timeout = 5000
-) => {
-  const start = Date.now()
-  while (!condition() && Date.now() - start < timeout) {
-    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 100))
-  }
-  return condition()
-}
-```
-
-#### Custom Matchers
-```typescript
-// custom-matchers.ts
-import { expect } from 'vitest'
-
-interface CustomMatchers {
-  toBeValidEmail(): any
-}
-
-expect.extend({
-  toBeValidEmail(received: string) {
-    const pass = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/.test(received)
-    return {
-      pass,
-      message: () =>
-        pass
-          ? `Expected ${received} not to be valid email`
-          : `Expected ${received} to be valid email`,
-    }
-  },
-})
-```
