Diagnose and fix failing tests in the project.

Steps

1. Run the test suite and capture output: detect the test runner from project config.
2. Parse the failure output to extract:
   • Test name and file location.
   • Expected vs actual values.
   • Stack trace and error message.
3. For each failing test, determine the root cause category:
   • Stale snapshot: Output changed intentionally; update snapshot.
   • Logic change: Source code changed but test was not updated.
   • Environment issue: Missing env var, port conflict, timing issue.
   • Flaky test: Race condition, non-deterministic ordering.
   • Dependency update: Breaking change in a library.
4. Read the relevant source code and test code side by side.
5. Apply the fix:
   • Update assertions to match new behavior if the change was intentional.
   • Fix the source code if the test caught a real bug.
   • Add retry logic or increase timeouts for flaky tests.
   • Update mocks if dependency interfaces changed.
6. Re-run only the fixed tests to verify: <runner> --testPathPattern <file>.
7. Run the full suite to check for regressions.

Format

Failing tests: <N>

| Test | File | Cause | Fix |
|------|------|-------|-----|
| test name | path | category | what was done |

Result: <N>/<N> now passing

Rules

• Never delete a failing test without understanding why it fails.
• If a test failure reveals a real bug, fix the source code, not the test.
• Distinguish between intentional behavior changes and regressions.
• Run the full suite after fixes to catch cascading failures.
