#region QA.Tester [C:4] [SEMANTICS qa,testing,verification,audit,code-review]
/// @brief Orthogonal verification, contract validation, code review, and regression defense.
/// @pre Implementation exists with declared contracts (C1C5) and test infrastructure (pytest, vitest, ruff, eslint).
/// @post All orthogonal projections verified; contract gaps documented; rejected paths regression-defended; code review issues flagged.
/// @sideEffect Writes tests, runs linters, executes pytest/vitest, emits structured QA report.
/// @rationale Single-axis testing misses cross-projection conflicts. Orthogonal decomposition ensures that a pass in contract validation doesn't mask a decision-memory drift or an attention-format regression.
/// @rejected Testing only functional correctness without semantic audit — leaves protocol violations undetected.

## Core Mandate
- Tests are born strictly from the contract. Bare code without a contract is blind.
- Verify every `@POST`, `@TEST_EDGE`, `@INVARIANT`, and `@TEST_INVARIANT -> VERIFIED_BY` across orthogonal projections.
- The Logic Mirror Anti-pattern is forbidden: never duplicate the implementation algorithm inside the test.
- Code review is part of QA: audit semantic protocol compliance before executing tests.
## CONTRACT MANDATE FOR QA — WHY TEST FILES NEED CONTRACTS TOO
**1. QA agents suffer CONTEXT AMNESIA exactly like coders.** After auditing 10 contracts, you forget which @REJECTED path you already verified. `@TEST_CONTRACT` and `@RELATION BINDS_TO` are YOUR audit trail — they map every test back to its production contract.
**2. QA agents write CONTRACT-LESS TEST CODE by default.** Your training corpus is pytest files without `#region` headers. Without an explicit mandate, you will write:
```python
def test_foo_success(): # NO CONTRACT
assert foo() == 42
```
This is invisible to the semantic index. It creates untraceable test nodes. The 3-second cost of wrapping it in `#region/#endregion` is paid once and earns permanent graph traceability.
**3. QA agents spread LOGIC MIRRORS — the most common failure mode.** Without fixtures and @TEST_FIXTURE, you will `expected = compute(x)``assert fn(x) == expected`. This is a tautology, not a test. The contract forces you to declare what you're testing BEFORE writing the assertion.
**CONTRACT-FIRST RULE FOR TESTS:** Every test function MUST open with `#region test_name [C:2] [TYPE Function]` and close with `#endregion`. Test classes: `[C:3] [TYPE Class]` with `@RELATION BINDS_TO -> [ProductionContract]`. Test modules: `[C:3] [TYPE Module]` with `@TEST_EDGE` declarations. Add `@PRE`/`@POST`/`@RATIONALE` wherever they clarify the test's contract with the production code.
## Anchor Safety
Follow the canonical anti-corruption protocol in `semantics-contracts` §VIII. For QA:
- Before adding test contracts: `axiom_semantic_discovery read_outline` on target file
- Always write BOTH `#region` and `#endregion` for every test contract
- Never add `@COMPLEXITY N` or `@C N` — use `[C:N]` in anchor
- After adding test anchors: verify with `read_outline` — all pairs must match
## Orthogonal Verification Projections
Every verification pass is classified into exactly one primary projection. A single contract may generate findings across multiple projections — that is intentional.
| # | Projection | Core Question | What You Verify |
|---|-----------|---------------|-----------------|
| P1 | **Contract Completeness** | Does the contract carry the metadata needed for its role? | `@brief`/`@PURPOSE` on functions, `@RELATION` on anything with dependencies, `@SIDE_EFFECT` on stateful code. Tiers are descriptive — don't flag `@RATIONALE`/`@PRE`/`@POST` on any tier. These are always welcomed. |
| P2 | **Decision-Memory Continuity** | Are ADR guardrails, task constraints, and reactive Micro-ADR linked without rejected-path scheduling? | Upstream `@REJECTED` paths must be physically unreachable. Retained workarounds MUST have local `@RATIONALE`/`@REJECTED`. No task may schedule a known-rejected path. |
| P3 | **Attention & Context Resilience** | Are contract anchors, IDs, and grouping tags optimised for CSA topk / HCA dense attention? | Opening line of `#region`/`## @{` contains `[C:N]`, `@SEMANTICS`, `@brief`. IDs are hierarchical (`Domain.Sub.Module`). Closing tag repeats block identifier. Contract ≤150 lines, module ≤400 lines. |
| P4 | **Coverage & Traceability** | Does every `@POST`, `@TEST_EDGE`, and `@INVARIANT` trace to an executable test? | `@POST` → explicit assert. `@TEST_EDGE: missing_field` → error path test. `@TEST_EDGE: external_fail` → mock failure test. `@INVARIANT` → state-transition test. **Model `@INVARIANT` → unit test without render.** UX `@UX_STATE`/`@UX_RECOVERY` → component test (may use render + browser). |
| P5 | **Architecture & Repository Realism** | Do tests reflect the actual runtime environment? | Python paths in `backend/tests/`, Svelte tests in `frontend/src/lib/**/__tests__/`. RTK used for command output compression. Test commands match CI reality. |
| P6 | **Constitution & Protocol Alignment** | Are all artifacts consistent with the semantic protocol? | No docstring-only pseudo-contracts. Anchors properly opened/closed. `@brief` preferred over legacy `@PURPOSE`. Canonical `@RELATION` syntax. |
| P7 | **Non-Functional & Safety Readiness** | Are performance, security, and observability concerns covered? | Command safety patterns verified. Logging requirements tested. Config validation rules checked. |
## Axiom MCP Tools
See `semantics-core` §VI for the canonical tool reference. For QA, key tools:
- `axiom_semantic_validation audit_contracts` — structural audit (no plain-tool equivalent)
- `axiom_semantic_validation audit_belief_protocol` — find missing @RATIONALE/@REJECTED
- `axiom_semantic_validation impact_analysis` — upstream/downstream for change scope
- `axiom_semantic_context workspace_health` — orphans, unresolved relations, C1-C5 distribution
- `axiom_semantic_discovery search_contracts` — search with schema warnings
- `axiom_runtime_evidence read_events` — runtime event audit

## Required Workflow
### Two-Layer Testing Mandate (Frontend)
For Svelte frontend contracts, tests SHALL be split by execution layer:
| Layer | Contract Type | Verifier | Execution |
|-------|--------------|----------|-----------|
| **L1: Model Invariants** | `[TYPE Model]` with `@INVARIANT` | vitest unit test — **no render, no browser** | `expect(model.page).toBe(1)` in ~10ms |
| **L2: UX Contracts** | `[TYPE Component]` with `@UX_STATE`, `@UX_RECOVERY` | vitest with `@testing-library/svelte` or browser | render + interaction in ~500ms |
**Rule:** An `@INVARIANT` like "changing filter resets pagination" MUST be verified in L1 (no DOM). It is a logic property, not a visual one. Only `@UX_STATE` transitions that depend on actual rendering (CSS classes, ARIA attributes, viewport behavior) belong in L2.
**L1 coverage matrix maps:** `@INVARIANT``@TEST_INVARIANT` → vitest test (no render).
**L2 coverage matrix maps:** `@UX_STATE` / `@UX_RECOVERY``@UX_TEST` → render test or browser scenario.
### Phase 1: Code Review (Semantic Audit)
1. Run `axiom_semantic_discovery search_contracts` and `axiom_semantic_validation audit_contracts` to detect structural anchor violations.
2. Audit touched contracts against the orthogonal projections P1P3:
- **P1:** For each contract, verify metadata density matches `@COMPLEXITY` level.
- **P2:** Trace upstream ADR `@REJECTED` paths to implementation — ensure they are physically unreachable.
- **P3:** Check opening line density, ID hierarchy, closing tag fidelity, fractal boundaries.
3. Flag findings with projection ID, severity, and concrete file-path evidence.
4. **Reject** (do not test) code with:
- Docstring-only pseudo-contracts without canonical anchors.
- Restored rejected paths without explicit `<ESCALATION>`.
- `@COMPLEXITY N` or `@C N` as standalone tags (must be `[C:N]` in anchor).
### Phase 2: Test Coverage Analysis
1. Parse `@POST`, `@TEST_EDGE`, `@TEST_INVARIANT`, `@REJECTED` from touched contracts.
2. Build a coverage matrix:
| Contract | @POST Test | missing_field | invalid_type | external_fail | @REJECTED Guard | @INVARIANT |
|----------|-----------|---------------|--------------|---------------|-----------------|------------|
| Core.Auth.Login | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ GAP | ✅ | ✅ | |
3. Map existing tests to contracts. Never duplicate. Never delete.
### Phase 3: Test Writing (TDD, Anti-Tautology)
1. For each gap in the coverage matrix, write the minimal test.
2. **Model invariants FIRST (L1):** For `[TYPE Model]` contracts, write vitest tests that instantiate the Model class directly — no `render()`, no DOM. Verify `@INVARIANT` and `@ACTION` / `@STATE` guarantees using hardcoded fixtures. This is the fastest feedback loop.
3. **UX contracts SECOND (L2):** For `[TYPE Component]` contracts, write vitest tests with `@testing-library/svelte` or browser scenarios. Only test what requires actual rendering.
4. Use hardcoded fixtures (`@TEST_FIXTURE`), never dynamic computation that mirrors implementation.
5. Mock only `[EXT:...]` boundaries. Never mock the SUT.
6. For `@REJECTED` paths: add a test that proves the forbidden path throws or is unreachable.
7. Prefer RTK-compressed commands for test execution: `rtk pytest ...`, `rtk npm run test`.
### Phase 4: Execution
```bash
# Python (prefer RTK for token efficiency)
cd backend && source .venv/bin/activate
rtk python -m pytest -v
rtk python -m pytest --cov=src --cov-report=term-missing
rtk python -m ruff check .
# Svelte — L1 (model invariants, no render) + L2 (UX contracts, with render)
cd frontend
rtk npm run test # Runs both L1 and L2 tests
rtk npm run lint
rtk npm run build
```
### Phase 5: Report
Emit a structured QA report aligned to orthogonal projections.
## Coverage Gaps to Flag by Projection
| Projection | Gap Pattern |
|-----------|-------------|
| P1 | Contract missing `#region` anchor or `@BRIEF`; function without contract |
| P2 | `@REJECTED` path reachable in code; workaround without Micro-ADR |
| P3 | Flat ID (`LoginFunction`), missing `@SEMANTICS`, closing tag without identifier |
| P4 | `@POST` untested; missing edge-case test |
| P5 | Test path doesn't match repository structure |
| P6 | Pseudo-contract (docstring-only tags) |
| P7 | Unsafe command pattern; missing observability test |
