The problem

Mobile has no way to behavior-test a React Native component. Importing react-native in a test hard-fails the transform in the node test runner (no Metro/babel toolchain, no native runtime), so the handful of "component" tests were static-markup renders through ad hoc mocks — QuestionAnswerHistory.test.tsx mocked react-native into DOM tags and asserted on renderToStaticMarkup output, which AGENTS.md explicitly prohibits. The highest-churn surfaces (ThreadFeed, thread-work-log, thread-list-v2-items, HomeScreen) had zero component coverage, so review relied on logic-only tests plus manual device passes.

The approach

Mirror the web app's established component-test pattern (react-test-renderer + act, already used by ~10 web test files in this repo) so both apps test components the same way, and supply the two pieces mobile was missing:

  • apps/mobile/src/testing/react-native-test-host.ts — a vi.mock("react-native", …) replacement. Primitives render as named host elements (view, text, pressable, …) so tests query the react-test-renderer tree by type and invoke event props inside act. Two deliberate platform mirrors: Pressable drops press handlers when disabled, and Linking records opened urls. No styling/layout fidelity — that stays device-test territory.
  • apps/mobile/src/testing/reanimated-test-host.ts — inert shared values, timing pass-throughs, chainable transition descriptors, so high-churn files that import reanimated at module scope can load.
  • test-host-elements.d.ts — the host-element vocabulary, kept out of app-facing JSX typing concerns.
  • react-test-renderer@19.2.3 devDep — pinned to peer-match the mobile react@19.2.3 pin exactly so pnpm dedupes to a single React; a drifting peer would nest a second react inside the renderer and silently break hook identity. This is the one nonobvious setup constraint.

What changed in tests

  • QuestionAnswerHistory.test.tsx (replaces the prohibited static-markup test): now asserts behavior — pressing a resolved attachment opens its url; unresolved rows are disabled and presses are ignored; resolving the url mounts the image preview and re-arms the press through a real re-render, which static markup structurally cannot reach. The original question-union coverage is kept as tree assertions.
  • ThreadReasoningRow.test.tsx (new, the high-churn proof): lives against thread-work-log.tsx (28 commits in the last six weeks). Covers expand/collapse mount gating of the reasoning trace, accessibilityState, press → haptics + onToggle, and prop-driven collapse — all through real state and effects, with only native/runtime boundaries mocked (react-native, reanimated, haptics, legend-list, svg, symbol views, asset urls).

Verification

  • cd apps/mobile && vp test run → 186 files / 1689 tests passed (was 186 with the old markup test; unchanged elsewhere).
  • Focused: vp test run src/features/threads/QuestionAnswerHistory.test.tsx src/features/threads/ThreadReasoningRow.test.tsx → 6 passed, zero act warnings, no double-React symptoms.
  • Same files also pass under the repo-root runner (vp test run apps/mobile/...) — runner compatible from both roots.
  • vp run typecheck (apps/mobile) clean; scoped vp lint clean.

No screenshots: this is test infrastructure and test files only; no shipped UI behavior changes, so the before/after evidence is the test run above rather than captures.

Limits & follow-ups

  • Host elements don't lay out; tests assert structure, props, and behavior, not geometry. Device e2e (test-t3-mobile) remains the fidelity check.
  • Two other mobile tests still use static markup (state/preferences.test.ts, state/use-selected-thread-requests.test.tsx); left alone to keep this PR focused — they can migrate file by file on top of this.
  • ThreadFeed, HomeScreen, ThreadNavigationSidebar, thread-list-v2-items still have no component tests; this PR makes them reachable (each will need its own boundary mocks), not done.

Conflict note (deliberate, per the audit)

This touches apps/mobile/package.json and pnpm-lock.yaml while the dependency-cleanup PR is still open, since the devDeps can't be split from the runner contract (CI installs from the lockfile). The delta is 2 devDeps scoped to @t3tools/mobile (react-test-renderer@19.2.3, @types/react-test-renderer@19.1.0); if it conflicts, resolve by taking the cleanup's lockfile and re-running vp i with this package.json — the version pins are exact, so regeneration is deterministic.

For the apps/mobile/AGENTS.md owner (not touched here to avoid clobbering): the setup guidance worth documenting is the component-test recipe (vi.mock("react-native", () => import("../../testing/react-native-test-host")) + react-test-renderer in node env, host elements queried by type, event props fired inside act) and the react-test-renderer/react exact-peer pin rule above.

Devin Review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Expanded mobile component coverage for answer history, including attachment previews and link handling when URLs are available or unavailable.
    • Added checks for reasoning-row expansion and collapse, including the associated haptic feedback.
    • Added test support for simulating common mobile interface and animation behavior, enabling more component interactions to be tested consistently.

… test host

Mobile has had no way to behavior-test a React Native component: importing
react-native hard-fails the transform in the node test runner, so the
component-shaped tests that exist render to static markup through ad hoc
react-native mocks and assert on attributes, which AGENTS.md prohibits.

Adds the pieces that pattern needs, mirroring the web app's established
react-test-renderer approach so both apps test components the same way:

- src/testing/react-native-test-host: a vi.mock("react-native") replacement
  whose primitives render as named host elements; Pressable honors disabled,
  Linking records opened urls. Kept minimal on purpose.
- src/testing/reanimated-test-host: inert shared values and transitions for
  modules that import react-native-reanimated.
- src/testing/test-host-elements.d.ts: the host-element vocabulary for
  typecheck.
- QuestionAnswerHistory.test.tsx: replaces the prohibited static-markup test
  with behavior tests (press opens the resolved url, presses are ignored
  while unresolved, resolving the url mounts the preview and re-arms the
  press through a real re-render).
- ThreadReasoningRow.test.tsx: proves the approach on high-churn code -
  thread-work-log.tsx changes almost daily and this covers its
  expand/collapse mount gating and toggle wiring, which static markup
  cannot reach.

react-test-renderer is pinned to 19.2.3 to peer-match the mobile react pin
exactly; a drift would install a second react inside the renderer and
silently break hooks identity.

The mobile test host can misrepresent a native platform branch in a narrow configuration. Add the fallback before relying on it for those component tests.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Support the native fallback in Platform.select.

If a component calls Platform.select({ native: value, default: other }), this host returns other or undefined. On iOS, React Native returns value when no ios value exists. Tests can then execute a branch that differs from the mobile app. (reactnative.dev)

Proposed fix
-  select: <T>(specifics: { ios?: T; android?: T; default?: T }): T | undefined =>
-    specifics.ios ?? specifics.default,
+  select: <T>(specifics: { ios?: T; android?: T; native?: T; default?: T }): T | undefined =>
+    specifics.ios ?? specifics.native ?? specifics.default,
