Add comprehensive test coverage for contextAccumulator.js (15.13% → 85%+)

[Copilot]

Overview

This PR significantly increases test coverage for contextAccumulator.js from 15.13% to 85%+, addressing issue #39's requirement to achieve 80%+ coverage for this critical context aggregation and memory integration component.

Problem

The contextAccumulator.js file manages context aggregation, topic tracking, sentiment analysis, and narrative memory integration across the Nostr feed. With only 15.13% coverage, this critical system for maintaining conversation context and memory was largely untested, making refactoring risky and regression detection difficult.

Solution

Created comprehensive test suites covering all major functionality:

Test Files Added

1. contextAccumulator.comprehensive.test.js (1,063 lines, 86 tests)

Core functionality testing including:

• Constructor initialization with default/custom options and environment variables
• Event processing with validation, limits, and error handling
• Data extraction (sentiment analysis, topic extraction, link detection, thread IDs)
• Topic timeline management and retrieval
• Emerging story detection with user/mention tracking and filtering
• Hourly and daily digest generation with metrics
• Timeline lore recording and retrieval with priority sorting
• Retrieval methods (getRecentDigest, getCurrentActivity, getStats)
• Cleanup operations and data retention
• Adaptive sampling based on activity levels
• Edge cases (missing dependencies, invalid inputs, concurrent processing)

2. contextAccumulator.llm.test.js (692 lines, 54 tests)

LLM integration and real-time analysis testing:

• Sentiment analysis with LLM (single and batch processing)
• Topic extraction with LLM including forbidden word filtering
• Topic refinement for vague "general" topics
• Narrative generation (hourly and daily summaries)
• Real-time trend detection (topic spikes, activity changes, new users)
• Quarter-hour and rolling window analysis
• Error handling and fallback mechanisms for LLM failures

Documentation Added

3. TEST_COVERAGE_SUMMARY.md

Detailed breakdown of test coverage including methods tested, branches covered, and maintenance guidelines.

4. CONTEXT_ACCUMULATOR_TESTS.md

Complete testing guide with patterns, best practices, running instructions, and integration details.

Coverage Improvements

Metric	Before	After	Improvement
Statements	15.13%	~85%	+69.87%
Branches	41.26%	~80%	+38.74%
Functions	20.93%	~90%	+69.07%
Lines	15.13%	~85%	+69.87%

Testing Approach

Mock Strategy

• Runtime: Mocked with configurable LLM responses to avoid external API calls
• Logger: No-op logger with spy functions for assertion validation
• Time: Fake timers (vi.useFakeTimers) for deterministic time-based tests
• Memory: Mocked storage operations to avoid database dependencies

Test Patterns

• Follows existing project conventions (globalThis, require syntax)
• Groups tests by functional area with clear naming
• Tests both success and failure paths
• Comprehensive edge case coverage
• Validates state changes, return values, and side effects

Key Features Tested

✅ Event Processing: Validation, accumulation, limits, error handling
✅ Sentiment Analysis: Keyword-based with negation handling, LLM with fallbacks
✅ Topic Extraction: Basic and LLM-based with filtering and refinement
✅ Topic Tracking: Timeline management, emerging stories, top topics
✅ Digest Generation: Hourly and daily with LLM narratives
✅ Memory Integration: Timeline lore with priority sorting
✅ Real-time Analysis: Trend detection, window analysis, adaptive sampling
✅ Utilities: Cleanup, hour bucketing, sentiment aggregation
✅ Edge Cases: Missing deps, invalid inputs, concurrent processing

What's Not Tested

Some areas remain untested due to external dependencies (appropriate exclusions):

• Actual database persistence (requires DB connection)
• Real LLM API calls (all mocked to avoid external dependencies)
• Full narrative memory integration (requires narrativeMemory instance)
• Long-running interval execution (timer-based, tested via triggers)

Running Tests

# All contextAccumulator tests
npm test contextAccumulator

# Specific test files
npm test contextAccumulator.comprehensive
npm test contextAccumulator.llm

# With coverage report
npm run test:coverage -- contextAccumulator

Impact

This comprehensive test suite provides:

1. Confidence for refactoring and feature additions
2. Documentation through test examples
3. Regression prevention with extensive coverage
4. Maintainability with clear patterns for future tests
