Parallel analysis lane
Context: The repo recently migrated to Vitest 4 (vitest 4.1.8). The production code is considered correct; these are TEST-ONLY breakages from Vitest 4 behavior changes. Known Vitest 4 changes that cause failures here:
vi.fn()mocks whose implementation is an arrow function can no longer be invoked withnew("The vi.fn() mock did not use 'function' or 'class' in its implementation"). Fix by giving the mock afunctionorclassimplementation, e.g.vi.fn(function (...args) { return {...} })or mocking the module export with a class.vi.spyOnand module mock semantics changed similarly.test.poolOptionsmoved to top-level options (only relevant if you must touch config — generally do NOT touch vitest config).
Your assigned failing files (all paths relative to /home/akitav2/projects/4626/frontend):
- server/_lib/db/postgresRetry.test.ts — 10 failures. Symptom: "Failed to initialize Postgres pool TypeError: (..._args) => ({ query: mockPoolQuery, end: mockPoolEnd }) is not a constructor" at server/_lib/db/postgres.ts createPgDb
new Pool(...). The test mocks thepgmodule'sPoolwith an arrow-function vi.fn; it must be constructible (usevi.fn(function (...) { return { query: mockPoolQuery, end: mockPoolEnd } })or a class). - server/_lib/wallet/readTokenBalance.test.ts — 1 failure.
- server/_lib/tests/amoeReplayStore.test.ts — 1 failure.
- server/_lib/hermit/skillRouter.test.ts — 1 failure.
Instructions:
- Work in /home/akitav2/projects/4626/frontend.
- For each file: run
npx vitest run <file>to see the failure, diagnose, fix the TEST file (preserve test intent and assertion strength — do not weaken or skip tests). Only modify production source if the failure is unambiguously a test-infrastructure issue that cannot be fixed in the test, and explain why. - Do NOT touch anything under server/_lib/arena/ (another session is actively editing it).
- Do NOT run the full test suite; only run your assigned files.
- Re-run each fixed file until green.
- If a failure turns out to be flaky/timing or environment-dependent (e.g. requires DATABASE_URL), note it; make it deterministic if reasonable.
Final response: for each file, report root cause, what you changed, and final pass/fail status.

I need to fix the mock pool constructor so it's actually constructible—I'll use a vi.fn that returns an object with the query and end methods instead of trying to use a class constructor directly.

The first file is green. Now let me look at the readTokenBalance test — it appears to be a live-network test.
The postgresRetry test is now passing. The readTokenBalance test is checking a live Base USDC balance for the canonical CSW fixture on the actual network, so it's dependent on the real on-chain state rather than being a Vitest issue — I need to look at the test file and the function to understand what's happening.

This test is hitting a live RPC endpoint on Base mainnet to verify the canonical CSW has a nonzero USDC balance, but it's returning zero. The issue isn't with Vitest 4 itself — it's a flaky live-network test that depends on the wallet's actual on-chain state, which can change or be affected by RPC timing.
To make this deterministic, I'll mock viem's createPublicClient to return predictable responses for the balance and decimals checks, while preserving the test's core intent of verifying that readTokenBalance correctly reads ERC-20 balance, applies decimals, and formats the result. I'll also mock the RPC URL resolver to avoid environment dependencies.
Writing the test with mocked viem... The factory function only references readContract lazily when createPublicClient is called during the test, not during module initialization, so there's no temporal dead zone issue. I could use vi.hoisted to make this cleaner though.The test is failing because the wallet's actual USDC balance on Base is now zero, not a Vitest issue. I'll mock the RPC layer to make it deterministic while keeping the assertion logic intact.

I'm debugging a test failure in the readTokenBalance function — the assertion is failing because of address casing differences. The balanceOf call is receiving a checksum address, but I need to verify whether getAddress is properly normalizing the input or if there's a mismatch in how the arguments are being passed. Let me relax the assertion to focus on the function behavior rather than exact argument matching.

The checksum for the owner address has a casing mismatch — I need to update the expected value to [0xAb6d…67b5](https://basescan.org/address/0xAb6d5C10b03300326CD7fAb7267Ae192842967b5 "0xAb6d5C10b03300326CD7fAb7267Ae192842967b5").

The test is failing because the mock database queue ordering got disrupted — the schema bootstrap is consuming more queries than expected, which throws off when the default rows get inserted. The test expects result.rows?.[0]?.id to contain the submission ID, but it's coming back empty because the response queue is misaligned with the actual query sequence.
Tools invoked: Read
Analysis
I see the issue now — the schema bootstrap runs once on the first test that touches the database, and that's consuming the queued result from pushDefaultRows, which is why the first happy-path insertPending test fails while the others pass.
The real question is why this is happening in Vitest 4 when it didn't before. The bootstrap applies 16 statements, and with only one item in the queue, the first statement consumes it, leaving the INSERT with an empty result set. This could be a change in how Vitest 4 handles mock clearing or test isolation. The fix is to prevent the cold-start bootstrap from running during the test — either by mocking the schema bootstrap module to be a no-op or by pre-seeding its memoization so it thinks the schema is already ensured.

The ensureAmoeSchema function runs migrations through ensureMigrationApplied from schemaBootstrap, which likely caches results per process using the migration name and database as a key. During the failing test, it executed 16 statements, and since the insertPending happy path is the first test to actually invoke db.sql with queued rows, those 16 statements consumed the single queued row at statement #1—unless something else is happening with how the queue is being managed.
The ensureMigrationApplied function probably checks an applied-migration registry first with a SELECT query, finds nothing, applies all 16 statements, then inserts into the registry, consuming the queued row somewhere in that process. This likely passed on Vitest 3 because the schemaBootstrap module-level memoization persisted across test files in the same worker, but now it doesn't. The fix is to mock ../db/schemaBootstrap.js so ensureAmoeSchema becomes a no-op, which aligns with the design intent that bootstrap contributes zero statements to unit tests—I should mock both ensureMigrationApplied and ensureAmoeSchema as async no-ops since the module imports both. Only this one test failed because schemaBootstrap memoizes after the first cold-start apply, so subsequent tests don't re-run the migrations.I found that the schema bootstrap is running real statements against the mock DB and consuming queued results, which conflicts with the test's design intent. I'll mock it to a noop so it contributes zero statements.

amoeReplayStore is green. Now the skillRouter failure.
Looking at the test failure, the assertion expects add-api-wallet=ok[dry] but the actual response is add-api-wallet=ok, and the audit log shows the operation was skipped with dryRun: true and skipped: true. The production code appears to be working correctly—it's just formatting the response without the [dry] suffix when the step gets skipped, possibly because the wallet was already added or some other condition prevented it from running.

Analysis
Looking at the audit log, the add_api_wallet step was skipped in production (marked with skipped:true), which gets formatted as ok without the [dry] tag, but the test expects add-api-wallet=ok[dry]. This suggests either the production code behavior changed since the test was written, or there's a mismatch in how skipped steps are being reported versus what the test anticipated.
I need to trace through the register flow to see where add_api_wallet gets skipped and understand if this is expected behavior or a regression.

The production code intentionally changed runArenaAddApiWallet to be a successful no-op since dgclaw v2 removed API wallets, so it returns ok: true without a run field. This means the reply formats as add-api-wallet=ok without the [dry] suffix. The failing test expecting add-api-wallet=ok[dry] is outdated relative to this intentional behavior change—it's not a Vitest 4 regression but rather a mismatch between the test and the current arena session implementation.
Now I need to find where the add-api-wallet= string is actually being formatted. It's likely in the hermit skill router or arena code where the steps are joined together, so I'm searching through the codebase to locate that formatting logic.

Analysis
The production code returns add-api-wallet=ok without the [dry] suffix, so I need to update the test assertion in skillRouter.test.ts to expect the new behavior instead of the old format with the dry-run indicator.The production code changed runArenaAddApiWallet to a successful no-op since API wallets were removed in dgclaw v2, so the test assertion is now stale. I'll update it to match the current behavior.

All four assigned files are now green (verified individually and together: 4 files, 151 tests passing). No production code, vitest config, or anything under server/_lib/arena/ was modified.
Per-file report
1. server/_lib/db/postgresRetry.test.ts — PASS (10/10)
- Root cause: Classic Vitest 4 breakage. The
pgmodule'sPoolwas mocked with an arrow-functionvi.fn(), which Vitest 4 refuses to invoke withnew—createPgDb'snew Pool(...)threw "is not a constructor", cascading into all 10 tests. - Change: Replaced the arrow implementation with
vi.fn(function (..._args) { return { query, end } })so the mock is constructible (constructor returning an object preserves the original behavior exactly).
2. server/_lib/wallet/readTokenBalance.test.ts — PASS (1/1)
- Root cause: Not a Vitest 4 issue — this was a live-network test. It hit real Base RPC and asserted the canonical CSW holds a nonzero USDC balance; the wallet's actual on-chain USDC balance is currently 0, so
BigInt(result.raw) > 0nfailed. Environment/live-state dependent by design. - Change: Made it deterministic per your instructions: mocked
viem'screatePublicClient(spreading the real module, with afunction-style mock per Vitest 4 rules) to return cannedbalanceOf(123456789) anddecimals(6) reads, and mockedresolveServerBaseRpcUrlsto a fixed URL. Strengthened assertions: exactraw/formattedvalues plus verification thatbalanceOfis called with the checksummed owner address — so the test still proves the read/format/checksum pipeline works, without depending on a live balance.
3. server/_lib/__tests__/amoeReplayStore.test.ts — PASS (44/44)
- Root cause: The first DB-touching test (
insertPendinghappy path) triggeredschemaBootstrap's cold-start migration apply (20260527000000_amoe_lottery_tables.sql, 16 DDL statements) against the queue-driven mock DB. The bootstrap statements consumed the single queued{ rows: [{ id }] }result, so the actualINSERT ... RETURNING idgot an empty result and threwamoe_replay_insert_failed. The test harness explicitly assumes bootstrap contributes zero statements (SCHEMA_BOOTSTRAP_STMT_COUNT = 0); under Vitest 4's worker/isolation behavior the schemaBootstrap module-level memo was no longer pre-warmed when this test ran. - Change: Added
vi.mock('../db/schemaBootstrap.js')makingensureAmoeSchema/ensureMigrationAppliedasync noops — this matches the file's documented mocking design ("unit tests mock only the store-facing SQL calls") and makes the queue offsets deterministic regardless of worker reuse or test order.
4. server/_lib/hermit/skillRouter.test.ts — PASS (96/96)
- Root cause: Not a Vitest 4 issue — a stale assertion against intentionally changed production behavior.
runArenaAddApiWalletinarenaClient.tsis now a successful no-op ("dgclaw v2 removed API wallets entirely... Treat this step as a successful no-op"), returningok: truewith norun, so the register reply rendersadd-api-wallet=okwith no[dry]suffix. The test still expectedadd-api-wallet=ok[dry]. - Change: Updated the assertion to the full current steps line
steps: join=ok[dry] activate=ok[dry] add-api-wallet=ok(asserting the whole line is actually stronger than the three separate substring checks) with a comment explaining the dgclaw v2 no-op. The arena production code itself was untouched.
