Test Guard

Evaluates test coverage for recent changes, identifies missing tests, and flags regression risks.

When to Activate

• After ANY code modification that changes application logic, adds features, or modifies public interfaces.
• Skip for documentation-only, style-only, or config-only changes that do not affect runtime behavior.

Evaluation Methodology

Follow these steps in order:

• Identify all changed files and the nature of each change (new feature, bug fix, refactor, API change).
• For each changed module, check if corresponding test files exist in packages/core/test/. (evidence: packages/core/test/)
• Evaluate whether existing tests cover the changed code paths.
• Flag missing test coverage: new public functions without tests, changed branches without assertions.
• Assess regression risk: changes to safe.ts, render pipeline, or scanner are high-risk.
• Test command: pnpm -r test (vitest). (evidence: package.json)
• Test naming: <module>.test.ts matching source module. (evidence: packages/core/test/dtree.test.ts)
• Snapshot tests for render output — flag if render changes may break snapshots. (evidence: packages/core/test/__snapshots__/)
• Classify findings as: missing (no test exists), incomplete (test exists but doesn't cover change), regression-risk (existing test may break).
• Report ONLY when gaps are found — produce no output if coverage is adequate.

Stack-Specific Test Rules

• Check for vitest test files matching changed modules. (evidence: packages/core/test/)
• Exported function signature changes require corresponding test updates.
• Render changes should check snapshot impacts. (evidence: packages/core/test/__snapshots__/)
• safe.ts changes are high-risk security boundary. (evidence: packages/core/test/fs.safe.test.ts)

Test Command

pnpm -r test

Boundaries

• Do NOT write tests — only identify gaps and recommend what should be tested.
• Do NOT flag missing tests for trivial getters, configuration, or generated code.
• Do NOT require 100% coverage — focus on behavioral contracts and high-risk paths.
• Focus on the changed code, not pre-existing coverage gaps.

Output Format

When test gaps are found, report using this structure:

## Test Guard — [scope summary]

### Missing Tests (no test exists)
- [file:function] — what should be tested and why

### Incomplete Coverage (test exists but gaps found)
- [file:function] — what code path is not covered

### Regression Risk (existing tests may break)
- [file:function] — why this change is high-risk and what to verify

If test coverage is adequate, produce no output.
