# Phase 3 QA Audit Report: Prevention & Monitoring

**Date**: 2026-02-02
**Scope**: Phase 3 - Prevention & Monitoring Implementation
**Auditor**: GitHub Copilot QA Security Mode
**Status**: ❌ **FAILED - Critical Issues Found**

---

## Executive Summary

Phase 3 implementation introduces **API call metrics** and **performance budgets** for E2E test monitoring. The QA audit **FAILED** due to multiple critical issues across E2E tests, frontend unit tests, and missing coverage reports.

**Critical Findings**:
- ❌ **E2E Tests**: 2 tests interrupted, 32 skipped, 478 did not run
- ❌ **Frontend Tests**: 79 tests failed (6 test files failed)
- ⚠️ **Coverage**: Unable to verify 85% threshold - reports not generated
- ❌ **Test Infrastructure**: Old test files causing import conflicts

**Recommendation**: **DO NOT MERGE** until all issues are resolved.

---

## 1. E2E Tests (MANDATORY - Run First)

### ✅ E2E Container Rebuild - PASSED

```bash
Command: /projects/Charon/.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
Status: ✅ SUCCESS
Duration: ~10s
Image: charon:local (sha256:5ce0b7abfb81...)
Container: charon-e2e (healthy)
Ports: 8080 (app), 2020 (emergency), 2019 (Caddy admin)
```

**Validation**:
- ✅ Docker image built successfully (cached layers)
- ✅ Container started and passed health check
- ✅ Health endpoint responding: `http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health`

---

### ⚠️ E2E Test Execution - PARTIAL FAILURE

```bash
Command: npx playwright test
Status: ⚠️ PARTIAL FAILURE
Duration: 10.3 min
```

**Results Summary**:
| Status | Count | Percentage |
|--------|-------|------------|
| ✅ Passed | 470 | 48.8% |
| ❌ Interrupted | 2 | 0.2% |
| ⏭️ Skipped | 32 | 3.3% |
| ⏭️ Did Not Run | 478 | 49.6% |
| **Total** | **982** | **100%** |

**Failed Tests** (P0 - Critical):

#### 1. Security Suite Integration - Security Dashboard Locator Not Found

```
File: tests/integration/security-suite-integration.spec.ts:132
Test: Security Suite Integration › Group A: Cerberus Dashboard › should display overall security score
Error: expect(locator).toBeVisible() failed

Locator: locator('main, .content').first()
Expected: visible
Error: element(s) not found
```

**Root Cause**: Main content locator not found - possible page structure change or loading issue.

**Impact**: Blocks security dashboard regression testing.

**Severity**: 🔴 **CRITICAL**

**Remediation**:
1. Verify Phase 3 changes didn't alter main content structure
2. Add explicit wait for page load: `await page.waitForSelector('main, .content')`
3. Use more specific locator: `page.locator('main[role="main"]')`

---

#### 2. Security Suite Integration - Browser Context Closed During API Call

```
File: tests/integration/security-suite-integration.spec.ts:154
Test: Security Suite Integration › Group B: WAF + Proxy Integration › should enable WAF for proxy host
Error: apiRequestContext.post: Target page, context or browser has been closed

Location: tests/utils/TestDataManager.ts:216
const response = await this.request.post('/api/v1/proxy-hosts', { data: payload });
```

**Root Cause**: Test timeout (300s) exceeded, browser context closed while API request in progress.

**Impact**: Prevents WAF integration testing.

**Severity**: 🔴 **CRITICAL**

**Remediation**:
1. Investigate why test exceeded 5-minute timeout
2. Check if Phase 3 metrics collection is slowing down API calls
3. Add timeout handling to `TestDataManager.createProxyHost()`
4. Consider reducing test complexity or splitting into smaller tests

---

**Skipped Tests Analysis**:

32 tests skipped - likely due to:
- Test dependencies not met (security-tests project not completing)
- Missing credentials or environment variables
- Conditional skips (e.g., `test.skip(true, '...')`)

**Recommendation**: Review skipped tests to determine if Phase 3 broke existing functionality.

---

**Did Not Run (478 tests)**:

**Root Cause**: Test execution interrupted after 10 minutes, likely due to:
1. Timeout in security-suite-integration tests blocking downstream tests
2. Project dependency chain not completing (setup → security-tests → chromium/firefox/webkit)

**Impact**: Unable to verify full regression coverage for Phase 3.

---

## 2. Frontend Unit Tests - FAILED

```bash
Command: /projects/Charon/.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-frontend-coverage
Status: ❌ FAILED
Duration: 177.74s (2.96 min)
```

**Results Summary**:
| Status | Count | Percentage |
|--------|-------|------------|
| ✅ Passed | 1556 | 94.8% |
| ❌ Failed | 79 | 4.8% |
| ⏭️ Skipped | 2 | 0.1% |
| **Total Test Files** | **139** | - |
| **Failed Test Files** | **6** | 4.3% |

**Failed Test Files** (P1 - High Priority):

### 1. Security.spec.tsx (4/6 tests failed)

```
File: src/pages/__tests__/Security.spec.tsx
Failed Tests:
  ❌ renders per-service toggles and calls updateSetting on change (1042ms)
  ❌ calls updateSetting when toggling ACL (1034ms)
  ❌ calls start/stop endpoints for CrowdSec via toggle (1018ms)
  ❌ displays correct WAF threat protection summary when enabled (1012ms)

Common Error Pattern:
  stderr: "An error occurred in the <LiveLogViewer> component.
           Consider adding an error boundary to your tree to customize error handling behavior."

  stdout: "Connecting to Cerberus logs WebSocket: ws://localhost:3000/api/v1/cerberus/logs/ws?"
```

**Root Cause**: `LiveLogViewer` component throwing unhandled errors when attempting to connect to Cerberus logs WebSocket in test environment.

**Impact**: Cannot verify Security Dashboard toggles and real-time log viewer functionality.

**Severity**: 🟡 **HIGH**

**Remediation**:
1. Mock WebSocket connection in tests: `vi.mock('../../api/websocket')`
2. Add error boundary to LiveLogViewer component
3. Handle WebSocket connection failures gracefully in tests
4. Verify Phase 3 didn't break WebSocket connection logic

---

### 2. Other Failed Test Files (Not Detailed)

**Files with Failures** (require investigation):
- ❌ `src/api/__tests__/docker.test.ts` (queued - did not complete)
- ❌ `src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx` (queued - did not complete)
- ❌ 4 additional test files (not identified in truncated output)

**Recommendation**: Re-run frontend tests with full output to identify all failures.

---

## 3. Coverage Tests - INCOMPLETE

### ❌ Frontend Coverage - NOT GENERATED

```bash
Expected Location: /projects/Charon/frontend/coverage/
Status: ❌ DIRECTORY NOT FOUND
```

**Issue**: Coverage reports were not generated despite tests running.

**Impact**: Cannot verify 85% coverage threshold for frontend.

**Root Cause Analysis**:
1. Test failures may have prevented coverage report generation
2. Coverage tool (`vitest --coverage`) may not have completed
3. Temporary coverage files exist in `coverage/.tmp/*.json` but final report not merged

**Files Found**:
```
/projects/Charon/frontend/coverage/.tmp/coverage-{1-108}.json
```

**Remediation**:
1. Fix all test failures first
2. Re-run: `npm run test:coverage` or `.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-frontend-coverage`
3. Verify `vitest.config.ts` has correct coverage reporter configuration
4. Check if coverage threshold is blocking report generation

---

### ⏭️ Backend Coverage - NOT RUN

**Status**: Skipped due to time constraints and frontend test failures.

**Recommendation**: Run backend coverage tests after frontend issues are resolved:
```bash
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-backend-coverage
```

**Expected**:
- Minimum 85% coverage for `backend/**/*.go`
- All unit tests passing
- Coverage report generated in `backend/coverage.txt`

---

## 4. Type Safety (Frontend) - NOT RUN

**Status**: ⏭️ **NOT EXECUTED** (blocked by frontend test failures)

**Command**: `npm run type-check` or VS Code task "Lint: TypeScript Check"

**Recommendation**: Run after frontend tests are fixed.

---

## 5. Pre-commit Hooks - NOT RUN

**Status**: ⏭️ **NOT EXECUTED**

**Command**: `pre-commit run --all-files`

**Recommendation**: Run after all tests pass to ensure code quality.

---

## 6. Security Scans - NOT RUN

**Status**: ⏭️ **NOT EXECUTED**

**Required Scans**:
1. ❌ Trivy Filesystem Scan
2. ❌ Docker Image Scan (MANDATORY)
3. ❌ CodeQL Scans (Go and JavaScript)

**Recommendation**: Execute security scans after tests pass:
```bash
# Trivy
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-trivy

# Docker Image
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-docker-image

# CodeQL
.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh security-scan-codeql
```

**Target**: Zero Critical or High severity issues.

---

## 7. Linting - NOT RUN

**Status**: ⏭️ **NOT EXECUTED**

**Required Checks**:
- Frontend: ESLint + Prettier
- Backend: golangci-lint
- Markdown: markdownlint

**Recommendation**: Run linters after test failures are resolved.

---

## Root Cause Analysis: Test Infrastructure Issues

### Issue 1: Old Test Files in frontend/ Directory

**Problem**: Playwright configuration (`playwright.config.js`) specifies:
```javascript
testDir: './tests',  // Root-level tests directory
testIgnore: ['**/frontend/**', '**/node_modules/**', '**/backend/**'],
```

However, test errors show files being loaded from:
- `frontend/e2e/tests/security-mobile.spec.ts`
- `frontend/e2e/tests/waf.spec.ts`
- `frontend/tests/login.smoke.spec.ts`

**Impact**:
- Import conflicts (`test.describe() called in wrong context`)
- Vitest/Playwright dual-test framework collision
- `TypeError: Cannot redefine property: Symbol($$jest-matchers-object)`

**Severity**: 🔴 **CRITICAL - Blocks Test Execution**

**Remediation**:
1. **Delete or move old test files**:
   ```bash
   # Backup old tests
   mkdir -p .archive/old-tests
   mv frontend/e2e/tests/*.spec.ts .archive/old-tests/
   mv frontend/tests/*.spec.ts .archive/old-tests/

   # Or delete if confirmed obsolete
   rm -rf frontend/e2e/tests/
   rm -rf frontend/tests/
   ```

2. **Update documentation** to reflect correct test structure:
   - E2E tests: `tests/*.spec.ts` (root level)
   - Unit tests: `frontend/src/**/*.test.tsx`

3. **Add .gitignore rule** to prevent future conflicts:
   ```
   # .gitignore
   frontend/e2e/
   frontend/tests/*.spec.ts
   ```

---

### Issue 2: LiveLogViewer Component WebSocket Errors

**Problem**: Tests failing with unhandled WebSocket errors in `LiveLogViewer` component.

**Root Cause**: Component attempts to connect to WebSocket in test environment where server is not running.

**Severity**: 🟡 **HIGH**

**Remediation**:
1. **Mock WebSocket in tests**:
   ```typescript
   // src/pages/__tests__/Security.spec.tsx
   import { vi } from 'vitest'

   vi.mock('../../api/websocket', () => ({
     connectLiveLogs: vi.fn(() => ({
       close: vi.fn(),
     })),
   }))
   ```

2. **Add error boundary to LiveLogViewer**:
   ```tsx
   // src/components/LiveLogViewer.tsx
   <ErrorBoundary fallback={<div>Log viewer unavailable</div>}>
     <LiveLogViewer {...props} />
   </ErrorBoundary>
   ```

3. **Handle connection failures gracefully**:
   ```typescript
   try {
     connectLiveLogs(...)
   } catch (error) {
     console.error('WebSocket connection failed:', error)
     setConnectionError(true)
   }
   ```

---

## Phase 3 Specific Issues

### ⚠️ Metrics Tracking Impact on Test Performance

**Observation**: E2E tests took 10.3 minutes and timed out.

**Hypothesis**: Phase 3 added metrics tracking in `test.afterAll()` which may be:
1. Slowing down test execution
2. Causing memory overhead
3. Interfering with test cleanup

**Verification Needed**:
1. Compare test execution time before/after Phase 3
2. Profile API call metrics collection overhead
3. Check if performance budget logic is causing false positives

**Files to Review**:
- `tests/utils/wait-helpers.ts` (metrics collection)
- `tests/**/*.spec.ts` (test.afterAll() hooks)
- `playwright.config.js` (reporter configuration)

---

### ⚠️ Performance Budget Not Verified

**Expected**: Phase 3 should enforce performance budgets on E2E tests.

**Status**: Unable to verify due to test failures.

**Verification Steps** (after fixes):
1. Run E2E tests with metrics enabled
2. Check for performance budget warnings/errors in output
3. Verify metrics appear in test reports
4. Confirm thresholds are appropriate (not too strict/loose)

---

## Regression Testing Focus

Based on Phase 3 scope, these areas require special attention:

### 1. Metrics Tracking Doesn't Slow Down Tests ❌ NOT VERIFIED

**Expected**: Metrics collection should add <5% overhead.

**Actual**: Tests timed out at 10 minutes (unable to determine baseline).

**Recommendation**:
- Measure baseline test execution time (without Phase 3)
- Compare with Phase 3 metrics enabled
- Set acceptable threshold (e.g., <10% increase)

---

### 2. Performance Budget Logic Doesn't False-Positive ❌ NOT VERIFIED

**Expected**: Performance budget checks should only fail when tests genuinely exceed thresholds.

**Actual**: Unable to verify - tests did not complete.

**Recommendation**:
- Review performance budget thresholds in Phase 3 implementation
- Test with both passing and intentionally slow tests
- Ensure error messages are actionable

---

### 3. Documentation Renders Correctly ⏭️ NOT CHECKED

**Expected**: Phase 3 documentation updates should render correctly in Markdown.

**Recommendation**: Run markdownlint and verify docs render in GitHub.
