typescript-config-validation-test-loop
The fix wires the config-validation gate into the test lifecycle and closes the two doc gaps, all in one mechanical tick (commit 3e04ed6).
1. package.json — pretest hook that gates every npm test on config validity
{
"name": "ring-runner",
"scripts": {
"validate:configs": "tsx scripts/validate-configs.ts",
"pretest": "npm run validate:configs",
"test": "vitest run",
"typecheck": "tsc --noEmit",
"build": "vite build",
"guard": "npm run typecheck && npm run build && npm run test"
}
}
The pretest hook runs before test automatically (npm lifecycle), so npm test — and any guard/CI chain that shells out to it — now blocks on config validity before vitest even starts.
2. scripts/validate-configs.ts — deep-parse shipped configs through the real Zod loader (reuses the same schema the game imports, not a re-declared copy):
import { readdirSync, readFileSync } from "node:fs";
import { resolve } from "node:path";
import { ConfigSchema } from "../src/config/schema"; // the real loader schema
const CONFIG_DIR = resolve(import.meta.dirname, "../configs");
let failed = false;
for (const file of readdirSync(CONFIG_DIR).filter((f) => f.endsWith(".json"))) {
const key = file.replace(/\.json$/, "");
const raw = JSON.parse(readFileSync(resolve(CONFIG_DIR, file), "utf8")); // malformed JSON throws here
const parsed = ConfigSchema.safeParse(raw);
if (!parsed.success) {
failed = true;
for (const issue of parsed.error.issues) {
// prints exactly: `scoring: ringPoints: Expected number, received string`
console.error(` ${key}: ${issue.path.join(".") || "(root)"}: ${issue.message}`);
}
}
}
if (failed) {
console.error("\nConfig validation FAILED — fix the configs above before running tests.");
process.exit(1);
}
console.log(`validate:configs OK (${...count} config files deep-parsed through Zod)`);
process.exit(1) is what makes pretest hard-fail and short-circuits vitest; a plain warn would not.
3. README + AGENTS Development — command lists updated to include npm run validate:configs (and its new pretest role) in the same "Development commands" sections, next to test/guard.
4. AGENTS.md — scoped the co-author MUST to fleet worker commits only, explicitly exempting external contributors:
```markdown
**Probe (deliberate-violation test of the gate):** 1. Corrupt `configs/scoring.json`: `"ringPoints": 10` → `"ringPoints": "10"` (string where Zod expects number). 2. Run `npm test`. Result: `pretest` fires first and FAILs before vitest — output contains the exact Zod diagnostic: ``` scoring: ringPoints: Expected number, received string Config validation FAILED — fix the configs above before running tests. ``` Exit code nonzero; vitest never executes (gating proven, not just warning). 3. Restore `"ringPoints": 10`, re-run `npm test` → pretest prints `validate:configs OK` and the suite goes green. **Edge cases exercised:** - **Nested fields** (`scoring.ringPoints`) prove the deep parse reports the full Zod path, not just the top-level file. - **Multiple configs** — each `*.json` is parsed; one bad file fails the whole run and lists all issues (not just the first). - **Malformed JSON** — `JSON.parse` throws before Zod, still fails pretest (config is unshippable either way). - **Type drift** — string→number coercion is *rejected* (`Expected number, received string`), proving the loader is strict (no `coerce` on the shipped schema). - **Hook semantics** — `pretest` is npm-native, so plain `npm test`, `npm run guard`, and CI invocations all inherit the gate with zero extra wiring. - **Docs judged by grep** — manual criteria greps for `validate:configs` in README/AGENTS, the co-author scope line, and the Three.js fallback phrasing all hit. **Final gate status:** 688/688 unit tests PASS; `typecheck`, `build`, and `guard` all PASS on the restored config. One docs-only commit (`3e04ed6`) contains the full tick; nothing else changed. ---
