Testing

`test/no-focused-tests`

No focused tests (.only, fit, fdescribe) are committed; they silently skip the rest of the suite.

Why

One .only left in a commit makes the runner execute that test alone and report success. CI turns green while every other test is skipped, so regressions merge unnoticed.

Fix

Remove .only, fit and fdescribe before committing. Make CI refuse them: Playwright forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI, Vitest --allowOnly=false (the default in CI), or the lint rules vitest/no-focused-tests, jest/no-focused-tests, mocha/no-exclusive-tests for Cypress.

Examples

// bad
it.only('adds an item', () => {})
// good
it('adds an item', () => {})
