# Shard Isolation Fix Report

**Date:** February 6, 2026

## Problem
Our testing suite had a mix-up. A specific test file (`tests/integration/multi-feature-workflows.spec.ts`) contained tests that relied on security settings (Group B). However, these tests were running in an environment where those security settings were disabled. This caused the tests to fail incorrectly, creating "false alarms" in our quality checks.

## Solution
We moved the "Group B: Security Configuration Workflow" tests into their own dedicated file: `tests/security/workflow-security.spec.ts`. This ensures they are completely separate from the general integration tests.

## Result
- **Security Tests**: Now properly isolated in the security folder. They will only run in the "Security" test environment where they belong.
- **Integration Tests**: The general workflow tests now run cleanly without failing on missing security features.
- **Stability**: This eliminates the false failures, making our automated testing reliable again.

## Verification
We ran the Playwright testing tool against the cleaned-up integration file.
- **Confirmed**: "Group B" is no longer present in the integration workflow.
- **Passed**: All remaining tests in the integration file passed successfully.
