Add comprehensive @WebMvcTest for PatronProfileController

Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive Spock/Groovy test suite for PatronProfileController using @WebMvcTest. The controller previously had zero test coverage despite being a critical 189-line REST API handling all patron profile operations.

Test Coverage:

  • ✅ All 8 REST endpoints (3 GET collections, 2 GET single resources, 1 POST, 1 DELETE)
  • ✅ Success scenarios with HATEOAS link verification
  • ✅ Error scenarios (404 for not found, 500 for service failures)
  • ✅ Empty collection handling
  • ✅ Request/response body mapping (POST endpoint)
  • ✅ Special error handling (IllegalArgumentException → 404 in DELETE)

Technical Approach:

  • Uses @WebMvcTest for focused web layer testing
  • Mocks service dependencies (PatronProfiles, PlacingOnHold, CancelingHold) using DetachedMockFactory in @TestConfiguration
  • Follows Spock BDD-style testing patterns used throughout the codebase
  • Verifies HATEOAS links using JsonPath assertions
  • Tests vavr functional types (Try<Result>, io.vavr.collection.List)

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

⚠️ CRITICAL - Local Environment Issue: Tests could not be verified locally due to Lombok annotation processing issues in the dev environment (reported separately). CI validation is mandatory before merge.

  • CI passes completely - This is the primary validation since local testing failed
  • Verify mock setup works correctly - Check that DetachedMockFactory in @TestConfiguration properly integrates with @WebMvcTest and Spring's DI
  • Spot-check error scenarios - Verify that Try.failure(IllegalArgumentException) actually returns 404 and Try.failure(RuntimeException) returns 500 in the real controller
  • Verify HATEOAS links - Optionally run the app and hit an endpoint to verify the links being tested actually exist in responses
  • Check test coverage metrics - Confirm PatronProfileController now has comprehensive coverage (aim for 100%)

Test Plan

If you want to manually verify (optional):

  1. Start the app: ./mvnw spring-boot:run
  2. Hit an endpoint: curl http://localhost:8080/profiles/{some-uuid}
  3. Verify response structure matches test expectations (HATEOAS links, status codes)

Notes

  • No production code changes - test-only PR
  • Uses existing test fixtures (BookFixture, PatronFixture, LibraryBranchFixture)
  • Follows the exact same testing patterns as HandleDuplicateHoldTest and other Spock tests in the codebase
