# Session Notes - October 15, 2025 (Evening)
**Date**: October 15, 2025
**Time**: ~5:20 PM - ~6:30 PM (70 minutes)
**Focus**: Complete telemetry implementation - Fix tests, create PR, resolve SonarCloud hotspots
**Outcome**: ✅ **COMPLETE** - PR #1359 created, all tests passing, hotspots resolved
---
## Session Summary
Successfully completed the telemetry implementation for Issue #1358 by fixing ESM test mocking issues, creating a comprehensive PR, and resolving SonarCloud security hotspots. The feature is now production-ready with full test coverage.
---
## Accomplishments
### 1. Fixed Telemetry Unit Tests (40 tests) ✅
**Problem Identified**:
- Unit tests were failing with: `TypeError: fsMock.mkdir.mockResolvedValue is not a function`
- Root cause: Mocking mismatch between test and implementation
**Investigation**:
- Read working ESM test example: `ConfigHandler.test.ts`
- Compared with broken test: `OperationalTelemetry.test.ts`
- Discovered the issue: Source code imports from `'fs'` with `promises` property, but tests were mocking `'fs/promises'` directly
**Solution Applied**:
```typescript
// BEFORE (broken):
jest.unstable_mockModule('fs/promises', () => ({ ... }));
const fs = await import('fs/promises');
// AFTER (working):
jest.unstable_mockModule('fs', () => ({
promises: {
readFile: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(''),
writeFile: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined),
appendFile: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined),
mkdir: jest.fn().mockResolvedValue(undefined)
}
}));
const fs = await import('fs');
const fsMock = fs.promises as jest.Mocked<typeof fs.promises>;
```
**Test Results**:
- ✅ All 40 unit tests passing
- ✅ Full test suite: 138 suites, 2461 tests passing
- ✅ TypeScript compilation: No errors
- ✅ Build: Successful
**Files Modified**:
- `test/__tests__/unit/telemetry/OperationalTelemetry.test.ts` (lines 17-50)
**Time**: ~30 minutes (including investigation)

**PR Description**: Comprehensive (~200 lines) covering:
- Summary and implementation details
- Privacy compliance section
- Design principles
- Testing instructions (manual + automated)
- Issue resolution checklist
**Time**: ~20 minutes
---
### 3. Resolved SonarCloud Security Hotspots ✅
**Hotspots Identified**:
- 2 security hotspots flagged for file permissions in integration tests
- Both at lines 449 and 459 in `telemetry.integration.test.ts`
**Activation**:
- Activated `sonar-guardian` persona
- Activated `sonarcloud-hotspot-marker` skill
- Loaded knowledge from portfolio memories
**Resolution Process**:
1. Located hotspots using SonarCloud API:
```bash
curl -s "https://sonarcloud.io/api/hotspots/search?projectKey=DollhouseMCP_mcp-server&pullRequest=1359&status=TO_REVIEW"
```
2. Found 2 hotspots:
- **Line 449**: `chmod(0o444)` - Key: `AZnpx3y4pzJzmE-pdFhz`
- **Line 459**: `chmod(0o755)` - Key: `AZnpx3y4pzJzmE-pdFh1`
3. Marked both as SAFE with detailed justification:
```bash
curl -X POST "https://sonarcloud.io/api/hotspots/change_status" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer ${SONARQUBE_TOKEN}" \
-d "hotspot=<KEY>" \
-d "status=REVIEWED" \
-d "resolution=SAFE" \
-d "comment=SAFE: Test-only code for error recovery validation..."
```
**Justification**:
- **Line 449** (0o444): Intentionally sets restrictive permissions on temporary test directory to verify telemetry handles permission errors gracefully
- **Line 459** (0o755): Restores normal permissions for cleanup after error recovery test
- Both operate on `/tmp/dollhouse-telemetry-test-*` directories
- Proper cleanup in `afterEach()`
- No production code impact
**Verification**:
- ✅ TO_REVIEW hotspots: 0 (was 2)
- ✅ REVIEWED/SAFE hotspots: 2
- ✅ SonarCloud check should now pass
**Time**: ~20 minutes (including persona activation and API work)

## Key Technical Insights
### ESM Mocking Pattern for Jest
When source code imports from `'fs'` with destructuring:
```typescript
import { promises as fs } from 'fs';
```
The test must mock `'fs'` with a `promises` property, not `'fs/promises'` directly:
```typescript
jest.unstable_mockModule('fs', () => ({
promises: { /* mock functions */ }
}));
```
This pattern applies to all ESM modules using destructured imports.
### SonarCloud API Pattern
Successfully used direct curl API calls with `SONARQUBE_TOKEN`:
- `GET /api/hotspots/search` - Fetch hotspots
- `POST /api/hotspots/change_status` - Mark as SAFE/REVIEWED
- Pagination: `ps=100` for page size
- Filtering: `status=TO_REVIEW`, `pullRequest=<num>`
### Integration vs Unit Tests
Integration tests (`test/__tests__/integration/`) are:
- Excluded from normal test runs (per `jest.config.cjs`)
- Use real file I/O operations
- Test end-to-end behavior
- Don't require mocking (intentionally)

## Session Metrics
- **Duration**: ~70 minutes
- **Tests Fixed**: 40 unit tests (all passing)
- **PR Created**: #1359 (2,838 lines added)
- **Hotspots Resolved**: 2/2 (100%)
- **Files Modified/Created**: 11 total
- **Build Status**: ✅ Passing
- **Test Status**: ✅ 138 suites, 2461 tests passing
---
## Key Learnings
1. **ESM Mocking Troubleshooting**: Always check the exact import statement in source code before mocking
2. **Working Example Pattern**: Reading a working test (ConfigHandler.test.ts) was crucial to finding the solution
3. **SonarCloud Automation**: Using portfolio memories (sonar-guardian, sonarcloud-hotspot-marker) significantly accelerated the hotspot resolution
4. **Documentation Value**: Comprehensive PR descriptions help future reviewers understand the full context
5. **Test Organization**: Integration tests are intentionally separate from unit tests and serve different purposes
