# Frontend Test Stabilization Report

Date: 2026-06-09

## Objective

Close remaining frontend test failures after the Department Invitation Role UX fix without changing product behavior or invitation logic.

## Failing Tests (Before)

| # | Suite | Test |
|---|-------|------|
| 1 | `CollaboratorsSection.test.tsx` | renders empty state when there are no collaborators |
| 2 | `CollaboratorsSection.test.tsx` | renders collaborator pills and remove action |
| 3 | `DepartmentPortalPage.test.tsx` | shows loading then portal hero |
| 4 | `ProjectsPage.test.tsx` | shows empty state when there are no projects |
| 5 | `ProjectsPage.test.tsx` | opens create project modal from header button |
| 6 | `ProjectsSimplificationFlow.test.tsx` | shows core navigation without advanced tabs on overview |

## Root Cause and Fix

### 1–2. CollaboratorsSection

- **Root cause:** Stale test expectations — intentional i18n title-case updates in `tickets.json`.
- **Expected (stale):** `No collaborators yet`, `Remove collaborator`
- **Actual UI:** `No Collaborators Yet`, `Remove Collaborator`
- **Fix:** Updated assertions in `CollaboratorsSection.test.tsx` to match current locale strings.
- **Classification:** Changed i18n copy (not a product defect).

### 3. DepartmentPortalPage

- **Root cause:** Stale accessible label — department portal action title uses title case.
- **Expected (stale):** heading `Create ticket`
- **Actual UI:** heading `Create Ticket` (`departmentPortal:createTicket`)
- **Fix:** Updated heading query in `DepartmentPortalPage.test.tsx`.
- **Classification:** Changed accessible label / i18n copy.

### 4–5. ProjectsPage

- **Root cause:** Stale empty-state title — projects list empty card uses title case.
- **Expected (stale):** `No projects yet`
- **Actual UI:** `No Projects Yet` (`projects:states.empty.title`)
- **Fix:** Updated both empty-state waits in `ProjectsPage.test.tsx`.
- **Classification:** Changed i18n copy. Modal open behavior unchanged; failure was blocked on the stale empty-state wait.

### 6. ProjectsSimplificationFlow

- **Root cause:** Stale section label casing on project overview.
- **Expected (stale):** `Quick actions`
- **Actual UI:** `Quick Actions` (`projects:overview.quickActions`)
- **Fix:** Updated assertion in `ProjectsSimplificationFlow.test.tsx`.
- **Classification:** Changed i18n copy.

## Modified Files

- `resources/js/src/__tests__/unit/features/CollaboratorsSection.test.tsx`
- `resources/js/src/__tests__/unit/features/departmentPortal/DepartmentPortalPage.test.tsx`
- `resources/js/src/__tests__/unit/features/projects/ProjectsPage.test.tsx`
- `resources/js/src/__tests__/unit/features/projects/ProjectsSimplificationFlow.test.tsx`
- `docs/FRONTEND_TEST_STABILIZATION_REPORT.md` (this report)

No application components, invitation UX, or backend files were changed in this stabilization pass.

## Invitation UX Confirmation

Department Invitation Role UX behavior is unchanged:

- `DepartmentInviteRoleFields` component
- `AdminInvitesPage` / `SetupWizard` invite role fields
- `UserInviteService` authorization and head-transfer logic
- `UserInviteTest` backend coverage

This pass only aligned unit tests with existing UI copy.

## Final Validation Results

| Command | Result |
|---------|--------|
| `php artisan test` | **317/317 passed** |
| `npm run type-check` | **Pass** |
| `npm run lint -- --max-warnings 0` | **Pass** |
| `npm run test -- --run` | **217/217 passed** |

## Remaining Limitations

None for the production gate criteria listed above. All four validation commands are green.
