✅ Test Failures Found & Fixed (Post-QA)

After initial QA audit, full test suite execution revealed 3 test failures from legacy config removal:

Fixed Issues

1. test_unified.py::test_detect_unified_format ✅ FIXED

   • Cause: Test expected is_unified to be False for legacy configs
   • Fix: Updated to expect is_unified=True always, validation raises ValueError

2. test_unified.py::test_backward_compatibility ✅ FIXED

   • Cause: Called removed convert_legacy_to_unified() method
   • Fix: Test now validates proper error message for legacy configs

3. test_integration.py::TestConfigLoading::test_load_valid_config ✅ FIXED

   • Cause: Used legacy config format in test
   • Fix: Converted to unified format with sources array

Kimi's Finding Addressed

4. pdf_extractor_poc.py undefined variable bug ✅ ALREADY FIXED
   • Lines 302, 330: [l for line in ...] → [line for line in ...]
   • Fixed in commit 6439c85 (Jan 17, 2026)

Fix Results: All 41 tests in test_unified.py + test_integration.py passing (1.25s) Documentation: QA_TEST_FIXES_SUMMARY.md

📊 Issue Breakdown

Issue #1: Missing Test Dependency (Medium Priority)

File: tests/test_server_fastmcp_http.py Issue: Missing starlette module for HTTP transport tests Impact: Cannot run MCP HTTP tests (functionality works, just can't test) Fix Time: 5 minutes Fix: Add to pyproject.toml:

"starlette>=0.31.0",
"httpx>=0.24.0",

Issues #2-5: Deprecation Warnings (Low Priority)

All future-compatibility warnings with clear migration paths:

1. Pydantic V2 ConfigDict (3 classes, 15 min)

   • Files: src/skill_seekers/embedding/models.py
   • Change: class Config: → model_config = ConfigDict(...)

2. PyGithub Authentication (1 file, 10 min)

   • File: src/skill_seekers/cli/github_scraper.py:242
   • Change: Github(token) → Github(auth=Auth.Token(token))

3. pathspec Pattern (2 files, 20 min)

   • Files: github_scraper.py, codebase_scraper.py
   • Change: Use 'gitignore' pattern instead of 'gitwildmatch'

4. Test Class Naming (2 classes, 10 min)

   • File: src/skill_seekers/cli/test_example_extractor.py
   • Change: TestExample → ExtractedExample

Total Fix Time: ~1 hour for all deprecation warnings
