code-review-testing

Testing guidance for changes to the coding agent, with integration tests that run a real test instance of Codex as the preferred approach.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when changing agent logic to identify behaviors that need integration tests, place tests in the expected folders, and decide when a separate unit-test file is needed.
Why use it?
It helps test user-visible agent behavior in realistic conditions and avoids putting test-only helpers into production code.

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

code-review-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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to code-review-testing — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

For agent changes prefer integration tests over unit tests. Integration tests are under core/suite and use test_codex to set up a test instance of codex.

Features that change the agent logic MUST add an integration test:

  • Provide a list of major logic changes and user-facing behaviors that need to be tested.

If unit tests are needed, put them in a dedicated test file (*_tests.rs). Avoid test-only functions in the main implementation.

Check whether there are existing helpers to make tests more streamlined and readable.

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.
