Fixes #3452

Relates to #3460 (documents 4 more pre-existing failures in the same file, including why this test still doesn't fully pass — see below).

Context

Reproduction

  • Steps: 1) Run only scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-detection.test.js › "End-to-End Integration" › "should handle rename scenario correctly" in isolation (e.g. jest -t "rename scenario"). 2) Run the whole file.
  • Expected vs Actual: Filtered to just that one test, it passes. Run as part of the full file, suggester's index silently contains a leaked issue-agent entry from the previous test's beforeEach, which the fuzzy-matcher prefers over the real rename target — the test was passing for the wrong reason.

Root Cause

The describe('End-to-End Integration', ...) block's beforeEach (line 154) seeds ['issue-agent', 'pr-agent', 'release-agent'] into the shared suggester before every test in the block. FixSuggester.buildIndex()/addToIndex() only ever add entries (Map.set), never clear them. The "rename scenario" test then calls its own buildIndex(['issue-triage-agent', ...]) on the same shared instance, ending up with 4 index entries instead of the 3 it intended — the old issue-agent name never actually leaves the index the test is supposed to be testing a rename out of.

Confirmed not platform-specific (contrary to what I'd assumed before investigating properly) — reproduces identically on a clean develop checkout, verified via direct instrumentation of FixSuggester (temporary console.error in findCandidates()) showing 4 index keys where only 3 were expected.

Fix Summary

The "rename scenario" test now constructs its own FixSuggester instance instead of reusing the shared suggester, so it's unaffected by the outer beforeEach's seed data.

This fix alone does not make the test pass. Once properly isolated, the test still fails for a separate, real reason: suggestFix() never strips the agents/ path prefix before fuzzy-matching against its bare-name index, so similarity('agents/issue-agent', 'issue-triage-agent') scores 0.44 — below the 0.6 threshold. That's root cause 1 of #3460 (which also documents 3 other pre-existing failures in this same file, found while investigating this one). Rather than patch that as an incidental side effect of a test-isolation fix, I marked the test it.failing() — Jest inverts the pass/fail meaning, so the suite reports this as a known failure with a clear paper trail to #3460, instead of either silently skipping it or leaving an unexplained red test. The moment #3460 lands and the test starts passing for real, it.failing() itself fails loudly — a built-in reminder to flip it back to it().

Verification

Risk & Rollback

  • Risk level: Low — test-only, no production code path affected.
  • Rollback plan: revert this commit.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests

    • Updated rename-scenario validation to isolate its suggestion data, preventing shared test state from affecting the scenario. The test now records the unresolved fuzzy-matching issue for separate follow-up.
  • Documentation

    • Added an Unreleased changelog entry noting the test-isolation correction and that the remaining fuzzy-matching issue is tracked separately.

The "End-to-End Integration" describe block's beforeEach seeds
'issue-agent' into the shared suggester's index for every test in
the block. buildIndex()/addToIndex() only ever add entries, never
clear them, so "should handle rename scenario correctly" -- which
adds 'issue-triage-agent' on top via its own buildIndex() call --
ended up with 4 index entries instead of the 3 it intended, and the
leaked 'issue-agent' entry happened to fuzzy-match the broken
reference more closely than the real rename target, masking the
test's actual assertion.

Confirmed not platform-specific: reproduces identically regardless
of OS (verified via direct instrumentation of FixSuggester before
fixing, and by reverting the fix and re-running on unmodified
develop).

Fix: the rename-scenario test now uses its own FixSuggester instance
instead of the shared one, so it isn't affected by the outer
beforeEach's seed data.

This alone isn't sufficient to make the test pass, though: even
correctly isolated, similarity('agents/issue-agent',
'issue-triage-agent') scores 0.44 -- below the fuzzy-match
threshold -- because suggestFix() never strips the 'agents/' path
prefix before comparing against its bare-name index. That's a
separate, real defect (affecting 3 other tests in this same file
too), filed and root-caused in #3460 rather than patched here as a
side effect of a test-isolation fix. Marked with it.failing() so the
suite reports this as a known, tracked failure instead of either a
silent skip or an unexplained red test -- and so it fails loudly (a
useful signal) the moment #3460 lands and this starts passing for
real.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The rename-scenario test uses a dedicated suggester index without the old agent name. It is marked as failing, and the changelog documents the fixture leak and related matching follow-up.

Changes

Rename test isolation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Isolated rename matching and failure tracking
scripts/validation/__tests__/reference-detection.test.js, CHANGELOG.md
The test creates a dedicated FixSuggester with only the intended agents, uses it for the suggestion, and marks the test with it.failing(). The changelog records the shared-fixture leak and related matching follow-up.

The rename test is isolated as intended. The remaining matching defect is tracked separately and does not block this isolation change.

…) (#3496)

* fix(test): load ESM sources that use import.meta.url under Jest (#3472)

Six pr-agent suites failed to load with "Must use import to load ES
Module": Babel 8 cannot convert import.meta to CommonJS, so any module
using it stayed ESM under the root babel-jest run.

Add a small in-repo Babel plugin, applied only in the test env, that
rewrites import.meta.url to require("node:url").pathToFileURL(__filename).href.
Other import.meta properties are left alone and still fail loudly. Native
Node runs are unaffected.

Full suite: 7 failing suites to 1 (reference-detection, tracked in #3460
and #3461); 95 more tests run.

* fix(test): portable nested runner, wiring guard, harness alignment (#3496, #3552, #3560)

* docs: point validation index at the moved CodeRabbit suite

* test: assert standalone script ownership and complete nested discovery
