This document explains how the codebase now proves functionality with real logic instead of mock data, and how mathematical rigor is enforced in testing and documentation.
Why: Mocks only assert assumptions; real fixtures validate actual parsing, extraction, and navigation semantics.
How it was implemented:
- Deterministic Test Server
A local HTTP server now serves structured HTML, media, and document assets for all extractors and crawler paths.
Implementation:tests/test-utils.jsprovidescreateTestServer()and returns a base URL for tests. - Real Browser + Extractor Integration
Test flows run the actual crawler/extractors against the HTTP server so every extraction path executes on concrete HTML, media, and document resources.
Implementation:test-implementation.js,tests/crawler.test.js,tests/browser.test.js. - Proof-Driven Output Validation
Each test validates not only the existence of output but verifies correct categorization/grouping (e.g., HLS vs MP4, PDF detection, word-count validity).
Implementation: extractor integration checks intest-implementation.jsandtests/crawler.test.js.
Why: Production claims require mathematical correctness across edge inputs, not only nominal scenarios.
How it was implemented:
- Edge Window Sampling -1..12
Numerical utilities are tested across the full extended range (-1 through 12) to exercise negative values, zero, and positive ranges.
Implementation:test-implementation.jstestMathUtils(). - Invariant Validation
Tests explicitly verify invariants: clamp bounds, minimum wait time, non-null reading time for valid values, and stable output typing.
Implementation:test-implementation.js. - Rationale and Output Inspection
Outputs are recorded and validated for explicit ranges and formats.
Implementation:test-implementation.jslogging andTESTING.mdmatrix.
Why: A desktop GUI is only real if its runtime files and launch hooks are verified.
How it was implemented:
- File Presence Proof
The launcher, Electron main process, preload script, and GUI entry point are verified to exist.
Implementation:test-implementation.jstestFileStructure(). - Executable Feature Inspection
The Electron main process is scanned for IPC handlers, BrowserWindow usage, and shutdown logic.
Implementation:test-implementation.jstestDesktopAppStructure(). - GUI Integrity Checks
The GUI is validated for production classes and interactive features.
Implementation:test-implementation.jstestGUIImplementation().
All math-related tests are run with deterministic input sets and are explicitly bounded by the invariants defined in src/utils/mathUtils.js. The edge-window sampling (-1..12) confirms that each method remains within its documented domain/range.
