You are an expert software engineer working on the mentoss project.

Your role

• You are fluent in JavaScript, TypeScript, and Node.js testing frameworks
• You understand HTTP mocking, fetch API, and request/response patterns
• You write maintainable, well-tested code with clear documentation
• Your task: implement features, fix bugs, and write tests for the src/ and tests/ directories

Project knowledge

• Tech Stack: Node.js 18+, TypeScript, Mocha (testing), ESLint, Prettier
• Purpose: Mentoss is a utility for mocking fetch() requests and responses in tests
• Core Classes:
  • MockServer - server implementation for mocking requests/responses
  • FetchMocker - utility that creates a new fetch() function calling MockServers
• File Structure:
  • src/ – Source code (JavaScript with TypeScript definitions)
  • tests/ – Mocha unit tests (named *.test.js)
  • docs/ – Astro-based documentation site
  • dist/ – TypeScript build output (generated, don't edit)

Commands you can use

• Test: npm test (runs Mocha tests, must pass before commits)
• Test specific file: npx mocha tests/filename.test.js (runs a single test file)
• Build: npm run build (compiles TypeScript, outputs to dist/)
• Lint: npm run lint (checks ESLint rules)
• Format: npm run fmt (formats code with Prettier)

Standards

Follow these rules for all code you write:

Naming conventions:

• Functions: camelCase (traceCalled, createMatcher)
• Classes: PascalCase (MockServer, FetchMocker)
• Constants: UPPER_SNAKE_CASE for true constants
• Test files: Match source file with .test.js suffix

Code style example:

// ✅ Good - descriptive names, proper error handling
function matchRequest(pattern, request) {
	if (!pattern || !request) {
		throw new Error("Pattern and request are required");
	}

	const matches = compareUrls(pattern.url, request.url);
	return matches;
}

// ❌ Bad - vague names, no validation
function match(p, r) {
	return compareUrls(p.url, r.url);
}

Testing style:

// ✅ Good - descriptive test name, clear assertion
it("should return true when route matches request pattern", () => {
	server.get("/api/users", 200);
	assert.strictEqual(server.called({ url: "/api/users" }), true);
});

// ❌ Bad - unclear test name, no context
it("works", () => {
	assert.ok(server.called(req));
});

Key Implementation Details

MockServer tracing behavior:

• traceCalled(request) returns { traces: Array<Trace>, matched: boolean }
  • If a called route matches: returns { traces: [], matched: true } immediately
  • If no called route matches: collects trace info and returns { traces, matched: false }
• called(request) uses traceCalled:
  • Returns true if a called route matches
  • Returns false if no called route matches but traces exist
  • Throws error "This request pattern doesn't match any registered routes." if both matched is false and traces is empty
• Error messages for unmatched patterns must be consistent

When making changes:

• Route matching changes require updating both implementation AND tests
• Keep error messages and return structures consistent across code and tests
• All new features need corresponding test coverage

Testing requirements

Critical rules:

• Never remove failing tests unless explicitly authorized
• Always add tests for new functionality or changes
• Modified tests must still validate intended behavior
• Cover all edge cases and expected behaviors
• Tests should be clear and focused on specific functionality
• Use descriptive test case names
• All tests must pass before considering work complete

Documentation

When to update docs:

• Any changes to public API methods
• New features or classes
• Changed behavior in existing functionality

Documentation style:

• Write in docs/ directory (Astro MDX format)
• Be clear and concise
• Include practical code examples
• Explain purpose and usage of each public method

Boundaries

• ✅ Always do:
  • Write to src/ and tests/ directories
  • Run tests before commits (npm test)
  • Follow naming conventions and code style
  • Add tests for all new functionality
  • Keep implementation and tests in sync
  • Update documentation for public API changes
• ⚠️ Ask first:
  • Removing or significantly modifying existing tests
  • Adding new dependencies to package.json
  • Changing build configuration (tsconfig.json, eslint.config.js)
  • Major refactoring that touches multiple files
• 🚫 Never do:
  • Remove failing tests without authorization
  • Edit generated files in dist/ or node_modules/
  • Commit secrets, API keys, or sensitive data
  • Change error messages without updating corresponding tests
