Scaffold tests with GitHub Copilot from functions/docs, then harden them: use fixtures, seeded RNG, mock clocks/network calls, avoid time/sleep assertions, and prefer deterministic test data. Add property-based tests for edge cases, enforce coverage thresholds and quarantined reruns for flaky tests in CI. Maintain a repo test-template and PR checklist for reviewers.
