Phase 3 Plan 0: Wave 0 Test Stubs Summary

4 vitest stub files created for BudgetSetup, CategoriesPage, DashboardPage, and BillsTracker — each with a passing smoke test and pending it.skip stubs covering IXTN-01/05 and STATE-01/02/03 behaviors

Performance

• Duration: ~5 min
• Started: 2026-03-11T21:30:00Z
• Completed: 2026-03-11T21:32:14Z
• Tasks: 1
• Files modified: 4

Accomplishments

• Created Wave 0 test stubs satisfying Nyquist compliance for Plans 01-03
• All 4 stub files load without errors; full test suite green (43 passing + 11 skipped)
• Each stub file has at least one non-skipped passing smoke test plus multiple it.skip stubs documenting target behaviors
• Discovered DashboardPage already has an empty state implementation (heading "No budgets yet" + CTA button)

Task Commits

1. Task 1: Create 4 test stub files with pending test cases - c95c7f2 (test)

Files Created/Modified

• frontend/src/components/BudgetSetup.test.tsx - Smoke test + 2 it.skip for IXTN-01 (spinner, disable on save)
• frontend/src/pages/CategoriesPage.test.tsx - Smoke test + 4 it.skip for IXTN-05 (confirm dialog, delete, error) and STATE-02 (empty state)
• frontend/src/pages/DashboardPage.test.tsx - Smoke test + 2 it.skip for STATE-01 (empty state CTA) and STATE-03 (loading skeleton)
• frontend/src/components/BillsTracker.test.tsx - Smoke test + 3 it.skip for STATE-03 (tinted skeleton) and IXTN-03 (row flash green/red)

Decisions Made

• Mocked @/hooks/useBudgets in DashboardPage test to set loading: false directly, avoiding timing issues with async API calls
• BillsTracker renders a full <Card> (not a table cell), so tests render it standalone rather than inside a <tr>
• Used i18n key passthrough (t: (key) => key) enabling predictable text assertions with translation keys

Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written, with minor adjustments to smoke test assertions based on actual rendered output (DashboardPage empty state already existed — asserting budget.create button instead of combobox).

Issues Encountered

• DashboardPage smoke test initially queried for role="combobox" which is absent when list=[] (the Select renders no trigger without items). Fixed by asserting the budget.create button instead, which is always present.
• BillsTracker initially wrapped in <tr> (semantic mismatch since the component renders a Card div). Fixed by rendering standalone.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• All 4 test files exist and are vitest-runnable — Plans 01-03 can reference them in verify commands
• Smoke tests confirm component renders without crashing with minimal props
• it.skip stubs document exact behaviors to implement with their requirement IDs
