.github/instructions/testing.instructions.md

pdfnative-mcp testing.instructions.md is an instructions file for GitHub Copilot from Nizoka/pdfnative-mcp. It costs 1,219 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of testing rules for pdfnative-mcp, a tool service for working with PDF files. It defines commands and checks for code, examples, PDF/A validity, and catalogue compatibility.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for writing or debugging tests and validating PDF generation, examples, tool schemas, error codes, and project types.
Why use it?
It helps detect broken APIs, removed capabilities, invalid PDF output, lint errors, and failing examples.

Instructions file for GitHub Copilot

Written for GitHub Copilot: a Copilot instructions file.

This is Nizoka/pdfnative-mcp's own configuration. It tells GitHub Copilot how to work on pdfnative-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything pdfnative-mcp configures →

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

pdfnative-mcp testing.instructions.md 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 1mo ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 46 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Testing Standards

The gate

  • npm run gate (CI profile) is the single definition of green; npm run gate:fast while iterating; npx tsx scripts/gate.ts --publish --require-all before a release (needs veraPDF). One line per step, logs under test-output/.gate/. Summarise its output — do not paste logs.
  • PowerShell swallows a bare -- after npm run: call npx tsx scripts/<name>.ts <flags> directly.
  • Build before the suites that need dist/: tests/cli-stdio.test.ts, tests/reproducible-build.test.ts (they skip locally, fail under CI / GATE_REQUIRE_ARTIFACTS=1). .npmrc disables install-time scripts.

Framework

  • vitest 4, TZ=UTC, pool: 'forks', no shuffle, dot reporter. Tests are flat under tests/; shared fixtures are _-prefixed; repository-tooling tests live in tests/tools/.
  • Commands: npm test, npm run test:coverage, npm run typecheck:all (src + tests + scripts), npm run lint (eslint src --max-warnings 0 — warnings fail), npm run examples:check.
  • Coverage thresholds live once, in vitest.config.ts. Never lower them; raise them when a release lifts coverage.

Catalogue parity

  • tests/catalogue-parity.test.ts compares the live tools/list structure with tests/_fixtures/tool-shape.json.
  • After a deliberate schema change: npm run build && npx tsx scripts/tool-shape.ts --write, then review the fixture diff under docs/API_STABILITY.md §5. Never refresh it to silence an accidental change.
  • tests/catalogue-superset.test.ts compares the live catalogue with the frozen tests/_fixtures/tool-shape.v1.5.0.json: no tool / property / enum value removed, no new required, no tighter bound; every accepted delta is enumerated in the test and must still occur. Never regenerate the 1.5.0 fixture.
  • tests/error-codes.test.ts inventories every ToolError code in src/ and asserts docs/AGENT_CONTRACT.md §6 documents it and a test names it.

Samples and the byte baseline

  • npm run build && npm run test:generate drives the BUILT server and writes test-output/samples/; npm run verify:samples compares it with tests/_fixtures/samples.sha256.json. The baseline is a chain: an unchanged entry keeps its since.
  • An intended output change is rebaselined with npx tsx scripts/verify-samples.ts --update, explained in the manifest's provenance note and declared in the release notes. Never --update to silence a surprise.
  • A sample that cannot repeat its bytes (CSPRNG, per-run key, TSA clock) is listed explicitly in ENCRYPTED_SAMPLES / SIGNED_SAMPLES / TIMESTAMPED_SAMPLES / HOST_DEPENDENT_SAMPLES (a result that reports the host, such as draft_governance_issue; scripts/lib/sample-fingerprint.ts) — prove it with a double run first.

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.
