The move to SonarCloud brought a wider rule set with it, and 23 more regexes
that can be made to hang on a crafted near-match. 21 are fixed here, each proven
equivalent to the pattern it replaces by brute force rather than by reading.
Two of them are reachable across users, not just by yourself. A reservation
endpoint name is free text any trip member types, stored and then read back in
every other member's browser while the map draws its labels, and the pattern
over it takes 2.3 seconds on a 32k paste - so one member could freeze the map
for the whole trip. The mobile transport sheet reads the same field. Both now
scan instead of backtrack, and both were matched against the desktop twin the
earlier sweep had already fixed rather than given a third spelling.
The markdown link stripper needed the same treatment as the tag stripper before
it: the label class cannot be disambiguated in the pattern, because it matches
an opening bracket as well, and narrowing it changes what "[a[b](c)" produces.
It is a scan now, with all four of the regex's quirks intact.
Also here: the two encoding warnings the scanner reported. A decorative comment
line in JourneyDetailPage.test.tsx had picked up a replacement character
somewhere along the way, and calendar.service.test.ts asserts on one
deliberately - that one is now written as a U+FFFD escape, so the file no longer
carries the raw bytes while the test says exactly what it said before.
Seven findings were deliberately not changed and are flagged in SonarCloud with
the reasoning. Five are false positives - patterns with no overlapping
quantifier pair, where the only cure would change how nested brackets parse.
Two are marked accepted rather than dismissed, because they are real: the readme
check's heading pattern has a proven linear replacement that cannot land until
the registry's copy of the same script can move with it, and
`export let JWT_SECRET` is what makes an admin's key rotation take effect
in-process instead of silently waiting for a restart.
SonarQube's S2699 flagged 196 test cases as assertion-less. Almost all of
them end on a bare `await screen.findByText(...)`, which does throw when the
text never shows up — the test is real, the analyser just cannot see it.
Spelling the check out keeps the behaviour identical and makes it readable.
Writing them out turned three tests red, each for a good reason:
- FE-COMP-NOTES-008 read the heading out of the loading panel, which renders
its own copy and swaps the whole node out once the fetch settles. It now
waits for the loaded state.
- FE-COMP-PHOTOPROVIDERS-014 matched /connected/i, which also matches the
"Not connected" the badge starts as — the test passed whether or not the
button did anything. Exact text now.
- FE-FILES-002 compared an empty list against the empty list it already was.
It seeds a file first, so the 500 has something to leave alone.
JOURNEY-SVC-066 asserted nothing at all behind a "should not throw" comment;
it now says that out loud and checks no journey entry is left orphaned.
214 items came out of writing the tests. Real defects are corrected, dead code
is removed rather than covered, and the tests that pinned the old behaviour
move with them.
Also drops two agent coverage scratch files that slipped into the coverage PR
and adds the ignore rule that keeps them out.
