Console tests lacked direct coverage for token formatting, rendering options, and reflection edge cases. This test-only change expands coverage and improves failure isolation without changing production behavior.

  • Formatter coverage
    • Add table-driven FormatTokens boundaries and negatives.
    • Convert FormatNumber cases to named subtests and cover negative inputs.
  • Rendering coverage
    • Exercise MaxWidth and Stderr options with struct slices and maps.
    • Cover nil, scalar, channel, function, and unexported-field inputs.
  • Test structure
    • Consolidate embedded-struct cases into tables, retaining existing assertions.
    • Use require for preconditions before indexing table results.

What this change does: This expands console tests for unsupported inputs, rendering options, formatter boundaries, and embedded structs. It also consolidates several embedded-struct cases into table-driven subtests. The added coverage is generally focused; one redundant case remains.

Should fix:

  1. Duplicate nil case (pkg/console/render_test.go:L137)

    • What this is: The nil table value and any(nil) both become the same nil interface.
    • Problem: Both subtests call RenderStruct(nil) and assert the same empty output, so one test adds no coverage.
    • Fix: Remove the nil interface row.
    • If we skip it: The suite carries a redundant subtest for no extra behavior.

Verdict: fix 1 first.
Lean: -1 lines possible.

  1. Duplicate nil case — nil in an any field and any(nil) produce the same nil interface, so both subtests call RenderStruct(nil) and assert the same result. Delete this row; it adds one redundant test without coverage.

🟡 Changes recommended

The shared Base.Engine refactor weakens test coverage by no longer verifying that an empty required embedded field remains present, leaving a regression untested.

What changed in this PR

This test-only pull request expands console formatter and reflective-rendering coverage without changing production behavior.

Changes:

  • Adds boundary and negative cases for FormatTokens and FormatNumber.
  • Covers rendering width, output destinations, slices, maps, unsupported inputs, and unexported fields.
  • Consolidates embedded-struct cases into table-driven tests and improves failure isolation.
  • Retains coverage for non-omitempty embedded fields and validates header preconditions before indexing.

The embedded-field coverage regression and missing header precondition should be addressed before approval. This pull request requires changes.

File Summary
pkg/​console/​render_test.go Expands formatter and reflection coverage, validates rendering options and width boundaries, and consolidates embedded-struct test cases.

🏗️ Design Decision Gate — ADR Required

This PR makes significant changes to core business logic (>100 new lines) but does not have a linked Architecture Decision Record (ADR).

Why the gate ran: the PR adds 245 lines under pkg/ (pkg/console/render_test.go), which is above the default threshold of 100. There is no implementation label and no .design-gate.yml. The change only touches tests, but the gate counts every line added under pkg/.

📄 Draft ADR committed: docs/adr/74562-table-driven-characterization-tests-for-console-rendering.md. Review and complete it before merging.

The draft records the decision this PR makes implicitly: the new tests pin current FormatNumber/FormatTokens and renderer behavior as the contract. That includes these edge cases:

  • Negative inputs are returned unabridged: -1000 → "-1000".
  • 999_999 → "1000.0K".
  • 1_000_000_000 → "1000.0M".
  • FormatTokens(0) → "-".

If any of these outputs is not intended, it is better to decide that now, before the tests lock it in.

🔒 This PR cannot merge until an ADR is linked in the PR body.

📋 What to do next
  1. Review the draft ADR committed to your branch. It was generated from the PR diff.

  2. Complete the missing sections. Resolve the [TODO: verify] markers, especially whether the pinned negative-number and unit-boundary outputs are intended. Refine the decision rationale and list the alternatives you actually considered.

  3. Commit the finalized ADR to docs/adr/ on your branch.

  4. Reference the ADR in this PR body by adding a line such as:

    ADR: ADR-74562: Table-Driven Characterization Tests for Console Rendering and Number Formatting (link unavailable: invalid HTTPS URL)

Once an ADR is linked in the PR body, this gate will re-run and verify the implementation matches the decision.

❓ Why ADRs Matter

"AI made me procrastinate on key design decisions. Because refactoring was cheap, I could always say 'I'll deal with this later.' Deferring decisions corroded my ability to think clearly."

ADRs create a searchable, permanent record of why the codebase looks the way it does. Future contributors (and your future self) will thank you.

📋 Michael Nygard ADR Format Reference

An ADR must contain these four sections to be considered complete:

  • Context: What is the problem? What forces are at play?
  • Decision: What did you decide? Why?
  • Alternatives Considered: What else could have been done?
  • Consequences: What are the trade-offs (positive and negative)?

All ADRs are stored in docs/adr/ as Markdown files numbered by PR number (e.g., 0042-use-postgresql.md for PR #42).

Reviewed the test-only changes. One coverage regression should be addressed: the shared embedded fixture now uses omitempty, so the suite no longer verifies zero-valued non-omitempty fields. No production-code correctness issues were identified in the changed lines.

Highlights
  • Preserve separate fixtures for ordinary embedded fields and omitempty behavior.
  • The added formatter and width cases otherwise provide useful boundary coverage.

This changes the shared Base.Engine fixture to omitempty, so the value-embedded case no longer verifies that a zero-valued non-omitempty embedded field is rendered.

💡 Preserve the original coverage

The previous value case used console:"header:Engine", while only the pointer/omitted-empty case used omitempty; consolidating them removes coverage for the non-omitempty behavior. Keep the original fixture for the value case and introduce a separate embedded type (or tag) for the omitempty case.

Skills-Based Review 🧠

Applied /tdd (triage classified this as a tests-only change). The new coverage is mostly solid, with a few tests that don't verify what their names claim.

📋 Key Themes & Highlights

Key Themes

  • Stderr option is not verified: flipping the options.Stderr branch in RenderStructWithOptions keeps every test green, so the stderr subtests cannot catch a destination regression.
  • Redundant nil case: "nil" and "nil interface" are the same input when the field type is any.
  • Snapshot-style test name: TestRenderStruct_UnexportedFields asserts exact whole-output equality, and its name suggests the opposite of what it checks.
  • Rounding artifacts pinned as spec: 999_999 → "1000.0K" and 1_000_000_000 → "1000.0M" lock in current output that reads oddly.

Positive Highlights

  • ✅ Verified locally: the FormatTokens threshold mutation is caught by TestFormatTokens.
  • ✅ Table-driven conversions keep the existing assertions and add require preconditions before indexing, which improves failure isolation.
  • ✅ Embedded-struct and nil-pointer row cases are well chosen, and no production code changed.
  • ✅ The new tests pass on the branch (go test ./pkg/console/).

[/tdd] The Stderr dimension is not actually verified. Swapping the if options.Stderr branch in RenderStructWithOptions still passes every test, because in a non-TTY test run both destinations render identically. The subtest names and the PR description overstate what is covered.

💡 Suggested fix

Either add a seam so the test can observe which destination was selected, or drop the stderr dimension and keep only the stdout path. Verified locally: flipping the branch leaves TestRenderStructWithOptions green.

[/tdd] {"nil", nil} and {"nil interface", any(nil)} are the same input, because the field type is any. One of these rows is redundant.

💡 Suggested fix

Drop the "nil interface" row. A typed nil pointer is already covered by "nil struct pointer".

[/tdd] The name suggests unexported fields are skipped, but the exact-string assertion shows they are rendered (name, count, enabled, and so on). The whole-output equality also makes the test fail on any alignment change.

💡 Suggested change

Rename it to describe the behaviour, for example TestRenderStruct_RendersUnexportedFields, and assert each row with assert.Contains so the test reads as a specification rather than a snapshot.

[/tdd] 999_999 expecting "1000.0K" (and 1_000_000_000 expecting "1000.0M") pins a rounding artifact. A value that should read as 1.0M is shown as 1000.0K, and the table makes that look like intended behaviour.

💡 Suggested change

Add a short comment on these rows stating that they document current output. A future rounding fix then becomes a deliberate test update rather than a silent spec change. Alternatively, leave them out of this PR and track the rounding issue separately.

@copilot please address this.

The pull request was not created — a fallback review issue was created instead due to protected file changes: #74606

PR finisher: submitted for publication (not confirmed pushed): merge of main plus a commit to pkg/console/render_test.go:

  • Removed duplicate any(nil) case and the misleading 999_999/1_000_000_000 rounding rows.
  • Renamed unexported-fields test to ..._UnexportedFieldsAreRendered.
  • Restored non-omitempty Base for the value-embedded case (plus empty-Engine case); added separate OmitBase.
  • Documented that Stderr/stdout render identically without a TTY.

Validation: go test ./pkg/console passed; impacted tests in make agent-report-progress passed, but its lint step failed because golangci-lint is not installed here.

Review replies/resolutions deferred until the fix is published. CI needs a maintainer re-trigger.

PR finisher: Merged main locally and edited pkg/console/render_test.go to address the review feedback. Both are staged for publication; a push is not confirmed.

  • Removed the duplicate nil case, and the 999_999 and 1_000_000_000 token rows that pinned rounding artifacts.
  • Renamed the unexported-fields test to TestRenderStruct_RendersUnexportedFields and made it check for the expected fields instead of exact whole-output equality.
  • Restored a non-omitempty Base, added an empty-Engine case, and moved the omitempty case to a separate OptionalBase.
  • Added a comment that stdout and stderr render identically without a TTY, so the Stderr rows check wrapper and option parity, not styling.

Validation: go test ./pkg/console passes, and so did the impacted tests in make agent-report-progress. That target failed only at the Go lint step because golangci-lint is not installed in this environment.

Next: CI is stale after the push and needs a maintainer re-trigger. Review thread replies and resolutions are deferred to a later pass, once the fix is published.

PR Finisher

Submitted for publication (not yet confirmed pushed): pkg/console/render_test.go now removes the duplicate nil case, keeps a non-omitempty Base plus a separate OptionalBase and an empty-Engine case, makes the unexported-field test non-brittle and renamed, and replaces the 1000.0K/1000.0M rounding-artifact rows.

Validation: go test ./pkg/console passes; make agent-report-progress failed only because golangci-lint is not installed here.

Remaining:

  • The Stderr thread is not addressed. Stdout and stderr render identically without a TTY, so it needs a maintainer decision (rename the subtests or drop the claim).
  • make merge-main could not run: network fetch is unavailable (SSL), so the branch was not updated from main.
  • Review replies and resolutions are deferred until the push is published.
  • CI needs a maintainer re-trigger after publication.
