metro-testing

A guide for testing Metro-related changes. Metro is the React Native tool that bundles app code and serves it during development.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to start Metro in the Playground, check its startup log, and run an additional real-Node loading test for the built Metro packages.
Why use it?
Unit and build tests can miss failures caused by Metro loading packages as CommonJS, a module format used by Node and Metro at runtime.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

metro-testing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Metro testing

  • Metro-related changes (Metro config, middleware loaded by Metro, plugin discovery, anything reachable from metro.config.js) must be verified by actually running Metro in apps/playground (e.g. CI=1 pnpm --filter playground start), not just unit tests — Metro loads these packages as CJS, and build/test suites won't catch runtime failures like requiring an ESM-only dependency.
  • Watch Metro's startup log for errors (e.g. ERR_REQUIRE_ESM) and confirm it reaches Waiting on http://localhost:8081 before concluding the change is safe.
  • packages/metro/src/__tests__/cjs-load.test.ts automates the require-time half of this check: it spawns a real node subprocess (not Vitest's own module runner, which prefers each package's development export condition and would silently mask the failure) to require() the built @rozenite/tools/@rozenite/middleware/@rozenite/metro CJS bundles and run withRozenite() end-to-end, exactly as Metro does. Run it with pnpm --filter @rozenite/metro run test after building the packages it covers. It won't catch config-shape or bundling-time issues, so it doesn't replace running Metro for real in apps/playground.
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

metro-testing is an agent published in the GitHub repository callstackincubator/rozenite (653 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 312 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
