Yuneng Jiang 41d6dbb50c build(ui): gate dashboard test assertions with testing-library and jest-dom
Enables 14 rules at error with zero violations, so the vacuous-assertion class
the previous commit fixed cannot come back. No budget file and no suppressions
baseline: a rule is on only if it is already at zero.

prefer-to-have-value stays off. It matches any attribute whose name contains
"value", so it rewrites toHaveAttribute("aria-valuenow", n) into toHaveValue(n),
and jest-dom's toHaveValue supports only form controls, which breaks every
role="meter" element the dashboard renders.

Records the enabled set, the rules left off with their measured counts, and the
seven ways these plugins' autofixers produce broken output.

Never put LiteLLM tokens or API keys in `localStorage`. `localStorage` survives browser close. Prefer `httpOnly` cookies, or `sessionStorage` at most, understanding that any web storage is readable by injected scripts (XSS), and only httpOnly cookies are not
When you fix lint violations that are grandfathered in `eslint-suppressions.json`, run `eslint . --prune-suppressions` and commit the updated baseline so the gate ratchets down instead of leaving a stale suppression
`src/lib/http/schema.d.ts` is generated from the proxy's OpenAPI spec; never hand-edit it. After changing a backend route or response model that the dashboard consumes, run `npm run gen:api` and commit the result (CI `Check UI API Types Sync` enforces this)
Tests come in three tiers, named by the standard definitions. `Foo.test.tsx` is a unit test: one module, collaborators replaced by doubles, no multi-component tree, and it should run in milliseconds. `Foo.integration.test.tsx` renders a real component tree with real children and only stubs the network boundary; it costs seconds per case, so it earns its place by proving wiring that a unit test cannot reach. Browser-level tests live in `tests/e2e/ui/` as Playwright specs against a live proxy
When a component holds logic worth asserting, extract the logic and unit-test it there rather than driving it through a render. `CreateMCPServer` is the worked example: its payload building lives in `createServerPayload.ts` with 46 unit tests that run in single-digit milliseconds, while `CreateMCPServer.integration.test.tsx` keeps only the cases that prove a form field reaches the right payload key. A test that renders a whole modal to assert the shape of one object belongs in the first category, not the second
Most of the suite predates this split and is not yet classified, so an unsuffixed `*.test.tsx` is not evidence that a file is really a unit test. Classify what you touch
Assert something the user could perceive, and assert it precisely enough that the test fails when the behaviour breaks. `eslint-plugin-testing-library` and `eslint-plugin-jest-dom` enforce the mechanical part of that. Two of the enabled rules exist because the failure they catch is silent rather than cosmetic: `await-async-queries` catches an unawaited `findBy*`, whose returned Promise is always truthy and makes the whole assertion vacuous, and `no-wait-for-side-effects` catches work inside a `waitFor` callback, which is retried on every poll. Prefer `findBy*` over `waitFor` wrapped around `getBy*`, and keep a `waitFor` callback to a single assertion
Do not trust `eslint --fix` for these two plugins. Fixing the suite in bulk produced seven distinct kinds of broken output. Four fail loudly: `no-wait-for-side-effects` and `no-wait-for-multiple-assertions` hoist a statement out of the `waitFor` callback while leaving the `const` it reads inside, `prefer-enabled-disabled` drops a closing paren when the subject carries a type assertion, `prefer-presence-queries` swaps in a query it never destructures, and `prefer-in-document` collapses `getAllBy*` to `getBy*` on a value still indexed as an array. Two fail quietly, which is worse: `prefer-checked` swaps the `checked` attribute for the `.checked` property, and antd radios set one without the other, and `prefer-to-have-text-content` wraps arbitrary strings in `new RegExp()` without escaping, so `toContain("100K+ requests")` becomes a pattern meaning "100 followed by one-or-more K". That last one compiles, lints clean, and keeps passing while no longer asserting what it says. Pass a plain string to `toHaveTextContent`, which is already a substring match. Run the fixer on a handful of files at a time and read the diff
`jest-dom/prefer-to-have-value` stays off because its fixer is wrong here, not merely noisy. It matches any attribute whose name contains "value", so it rewrites `toHaveAttribute("aria-valuenow", n)` into `toHaveValue(n)`, and jest-dom's `toHaveValue` only supports form controls, so the assertion fails on the `role="meter"` elements the dashboard renders. Assert ARIA value attributes with `toHaveAttribute`
A test may reach for a component library's own CSS class only when that library exposes no role, label, title or ARIA state to query instead, and then the line carries a suppression naming the rule and the reason. Check first: antd icons render as `role="img"` with an `aria-label`, and antd `Form.Item` associates its label with the control, so both are reachable accessibly. When a label does not resolve, suspect the control rather than the test, since a custom wrapper that destructures props without spreading them drops the `id` antd injects and leaves the rendered label pointing at nothing
Rules beyond the enabled set were measured against the whole suite and left off rather than recorded in a budget file, because a ceiling that permits a violation anywhere is worse than an honest gap. `no-node-access` and `no-container` are the ones worth revisiting first, since they catch the DOM archaeology the rules above only discourage. `prefer-implicit-assert` and `prefer-explicit-assert` contradict each other, so neither is enabled
