Description
Executes Story Finalizer test tasks (label "tests") from Todo -> To Review. Enforces risk-based limits and priority.

Test Task Executor

Runs a single Story final test task (label "tests") through implementation/execution to To Review.

Purpose & Scope

  • Handle only tasks labeled "tests"; other tasks go to ln-401.
  • Follow the 11-section test task plan (E2E/Integration/Unit, infra/docs/cleanup).
  • Enforce risk-based constraints: Priority ≤15; E2E 2-5, Integration 0-8, Unit 0-15, total 10-28; no framework/DB/library/performance tests.
  • Update Linear/kanban for this task only: Todo -> In Progress -> To Review.

Task Storage Mode

| Aspect | Linear Mode | File Mode | |--------|-------------|-----------| | Load task | get_issue(task_id) | Read("docs/tasks/epics/.../tasks/T{NNN}-*.md") | | Load Story | get_issue(parent_id) | Read("docs/tasks/epics/.../story.md") | | Update status | update_issue(id, state) | Edit the **Status:** line in file | | Test results | Linear comment | Append to task file |

File Mode transitions: Todo → In Progress → To Review

Workflow (concise)

  1. Receive task: Get task ID from orchestrator (ln-400); fetch full test task description (Linear: get_issue; File: Read task file); read linked guides/manuals/ADRs; review parent Story and manual test results if provided.
  2. Read runbook: Read docs/project/runbook.md — understand test environment setup, Docker commands, test execution prerequisites. Use exact commands from runbook.
  3. Validate plan: Check Priority ≤15 and test count limits; ensure focus on business flows (no infra-only tests).
  4. Start work: Set task In Progress (Linear: update_issue; File: Edit status line); move in kanban.
  5. Implement & run: Author/update tests per plan; reuse existing fixtures/helpers; run tests; fix failing existing tests; update infra/doc sections as required.
  6. Complete: Ensure counts/priority still within limits; set task To Review; move in kanban; add comment summarizing coverage, commands run, and any deviations.

Critical Rules

  • Single-task only; no bulk updates.
  • Do not mark Done; ln-402 approves. Task must end in To Review.
  • Keep language (EN/RU) consistent with task.
  • No framework/library/DB/performance/load tests; focus on business logic correctness (not infrastructure throughput).
  • Respect limits and priority; if violated, stop and return with findings.

Definition of Done

  • Task identified as test task and set to In Progress; kanban updated.
  • Plan validated (priority/limits) and guides read.
  • Tests implemented/updated and executed; existing failures fixed.
  • Docs/infra updates applied per task plan.
  • Task set to To Review; kanban moved; summary comment added with commands and coverage.

Test Failure Analysis Protocol

CRITICAL: When a newly written test fails, STOP and analyze BEFORE changing anything.

Step 1: Verify Test Correctness

  • Does test match AC requirements exactly? (Given/When/Then from Story)
  • Is expected value correct per business logic?
  • If uncertain: Query ref_search_documentation(query="[domain] expected behavior")

Step 2: Decision | Test matches AC? | Action | |------------------|--------| | YES | BUG IN CODE → Fix implementation, not test | | NO | Test is wrong → Fix test assertion | | UNCERTAIN | MANDATORY: Query MCP Ref + ask user before changing |

Step 3: Document in Linear comment "Test [name] failed. Analysis: [test correct / test wrong]. Action: [fixed code / fixed test]. Reason: [justification]"

RED FLAGS (require user confirmation):

  • ⚠️ Changing assertion to match actual output ("make test green")
  • ⚠️ Removing test case that "doesn't work"
  • ⚠️ Weakening expectations (e.g., toContain instead of toEqual)

GREEN LIGHTS (safe to proceed):

  • ✅ Fixing typo in test setup/mock data
  • ✅ Fixing code to match AC requirements
  • ✅ Adding missing test setup step
