feat: expand test suite with categorized tests, audit, and full type safety

[robert-j-y]

Summary

Adds a comprehensive, categorized test suite covering SDK internals across 7 test layers, organized by testing purpose. After initial creation, all 63 test files were audited against each category's conceptual definition and recategorized where needed. Finally, all any types were removed and replaced with proper types matching the actual program types.

Category definitions and file counts

• behavior/ (23 files) — Does this function do what it claims, in isolation?
• boundaries/ (7 files) — Do peer classifiers form a proper partition? (mutual exclusion, exhaustive coverage)
• contracts/ (9 files) — Do peer transformers/builders produce structurally distinct outputs from the same input?
• dispatch/ (5 files) — Which code path does a router take, and does precedence between routing layers work correctly?
• composition/ (3 files) — Is module A's output structurally compatible with module B's input?
• integration/ (9 files) — When A's output feeds B, does B produce the correct result?
• pipelines/ (7 files) — Does the full end-to-end chain of 3+ modules work?

Also includes

• tests/INDEX.md — registry mapping each SDK function to its single test category with priority rules
• README per category explaining what belongs there
• vitest.config.ts updated with project entries for all 7 new categories
• tests/test-constants.ts — shared TEST_MODEL / TEST_MODEL_ALT constants ('openai/gpt-4.1-nano' / 'openai/gpt-4.1-mini') replacing all hardcoded model strings

No production code changes. All 573 tests pass locally (63 categorized + 17 unit files). Biome lint and typecheck pass.

Updates since last revision

Type safety: removed all any types from test files (47 files changed)

Eliminated every as any cast and : any annotation from all categorized test files:

• as any casts removed — replaced with correct types (e.g., models.OpenResponsesResult, StepResult, Tool, or structural narrowing types where SDK types don't cover test assertions)
• : any parameter annotations removed — replaced with proper typed signatures:
  • makeStream(events: any[]) → makeStream(events: StreamEvents[]) (7 files)
  • (i: any) => callbacks → inferred (i) => via typed arrays (~15 occurrences)
  • (ctx: any) => async param callbacks → (ctx: { numberOfTurns: number }) => etc. (~5 occurrences)
  • (c: any) => content callbacks → (c: { type: string; text?: string }) => (~4 occurrences)
  • snapshots: any[] → Array<Record<string, unknown>>
• Typed factory helpers added to tests/test-constants.ts: makeStep, makeResponse, makeUsage, makeTurnContext, makeToolCall, makeToolResult, makeCallModelInput, makeTypedToolCalls, makeRequest
• Unused imports cleaned up (flagged by Biome after type changes)

Previous: audit and recategorization

Audited all 63 test files against each category's conceptual purpose:

Recategorized (16 files moved):

• boundaries → contracts: conversation-state-results, tool-factory-shapes (test builders, not classifiers)
• contracts → boundaries: execute-tool-boundary (tests mutual exclusion, not peer distinctness)
• contracts → behavior: consume-stream-completion, stop-conditions (test single functions, not peer comparison)
• composition → behavior: input-normalization, format-compatibility (test single functions, no second module)
• composition → integration: next-turn-params-flow, orchestrator-executor (assert on output values, not just structural fit)
• integration → behavior: conversation-state-format, stop-conditions-step-result (test single functions with hand-crafted inputs)
• pipelines → behavior: async-resolution-pipeline, orchestrator-utility-chain (call one function or independent functions on same data)
• pipelines → integration: format-round-trip (2-module round-trips, not 3+ chains)

Split (2 files):

• pipelines/claude-conversion-deep → dispatch/claude-conversion-deep-dispatch + behavior/claude-conversion-annotations + integration/claude-unsupported-content
• composition/stream-data-pipeline → contracts/tool-call-response-consistency (kept contract test; removed redundant stream tests)

Removed (redundant):

• dispatch/execute-tool-dispatch — identical assertions to behavior/tool-execution lines 352-420
• integration/reusable-stream-consumers test 1 — duplicate of behavior/reusable-stream

Review & Testing Checklist for Human

• Verify test-constants.ts factory escape hatches — makeCallModelInput and makeTypedToolCalls still use internal as casts to bridge partial test data to full SDK types. Confirm these are acceptable or if the helpers should be tightened further.
• Spot-check inline structural types — Some callbacks use inline types like { type: string; text?: string } instead of imported SDK types (e.g., in message-stream-builders.test.ts, response-extractors.test.ts). These could drift if the SDK changes. Verify they match current SDK shapes.
• INDEX.md is stale — The registry still references pre-audit file paths (e.g., contracts/stop-conditions.test.ts which moved to behavior/). Needs a pass to update all file paths and category assignments.
• Verify CI runs all test projects — pnpm test only runs --project unit by default. Confirm CI runs the 7 new categories or update the test script.
• Category READMEs may reference moved files — The per-category README files were not updated after the audit.

Suggested test plan: run pnpm vitest --run tests/behavior tests/boundaries tests/composition tests/contracts tests/dispatch tests/integration tests/pipelines to execute all 355 categorized tests, then pnpm test for the 218 unit tests.

Notes

• 11 pre-existing e2e test failures in tests/e2e/multi-turn-tool-state.test.ts are unrelated to this PR (they fail on main).
• The original patch was provided by the repo maintainer. Biome formatting, model constant centralization, the recategorization audit, and the type safety pass were applied on top.
• Zero any types remain in the 63 categorized test files. The only as casts in test-constants.ts are two intentional factory helpers for partial test data.

Adversarial review — five findings total.

CI coverage (not in diff, so flagging here): .github/workflows/ci.yaml runs pnpm run test, which is vitest --run --project unit — the ~355 tests added in behavior/, boundaries/, composition/, contracts/, dispatch/, integration/, and pipelines/ are never executed in CI. A regression in any of them won't fail a PR. Consider either dropping --project unit from the test script in package.json, or adding a CI step that runs the new projects explicitly. Author flagged this in the PR description's review checklist, but worth resolving before merge — otherwise the new suite is decorative.

Other four findings inline.

StreamEvents is referenced as a type but never imported from @openrouter/sdk/models. This only compiles because tsconfig.json has "include": ["src"] so tsc --noEmit skips the tests directory, and vitest's experimental typecheck is permissive here. Under any stricter check — or if tests ever get folded into the main tsc run — Cannot find name 'StreamEvents' fails across ~8 files (also in tests/pipelines/streaming-pipeline.test.ts:10, tests/pipelines/dual-format-output.test.ts:14, tests/contracts/delta-extractors.test.ts:10, tests/dispatch/items-stream-dispatch.test.ts:6, tests/integration/stream-completion-guards.test.ts:6, tests/integration/reusable-stream-consumers.test.ts:6, tests/behavior/consume-stream-completion.test.ts:6, plus as unknown as StreamEvents casts in tests/behavior/stream-type-guards-negative.test.ts and tests/boundaries/*.test.ts). Consider adding import type { StreamEvents } from '@openrouter/sdk/models'; to each.

These response-fixture keys (parallel_tool_calls, incomplete_details, created_at) don't match OpenResponsesResult, which uses camelCase (parallelToolCalls, incompleteDetails, createdAt). Nothing catches this today because the fixture is assigned into a loosely-typed local helper, but it misleads future readers and drifts the test from the real shape. The same pattern repeats in tests/behavior/conversation-state.test.ts:168-173,182-187, where the keys even coexist with the camelCase defaults from makeResponse, producing hybrid objects. Consider using the shared makeResponse helper from test-constants.ts and passing camelCase overrides (or omitting them — makeResponse already provides sensible defaults).

[mattapperson]

This local makeStep duplicates the typed makeStep exported from tests/test-constants.ts, and it's the one with the stale snake_case response shape. tests/behavior/format-compatibility.test.ts:6 and tests/contracts/response-extractors.test.ts:9 redefine makeResponse similarly. Consider deleting the local copies and importing from test-constants.ts — that's already where the typed factories live, and it removes the fixture drift risk.

[mattapperson]

These two as casts (fields as CallModelInput here and calls as TypedToolCallUnion<readonly Tool[]>[] on line 140) punch through the type system for every caller, which re-introduces the unsafety the PR description claims to have eliminated. Since callers pass a Record<string, unknown> / Array<{ id; name; arguments: unknown }>, any field drift in CallModelInput or TypedToolCallUnion will not surface at the call sites — they'll keep compiling. Consider either (a) tightening the parameter types so the casts become identity (e.g. parameterize makeCallModelInput over the discriminant fields the test actually provides), or (b) writing small isCallModelInput / isTypedToolCall typeguards and narrowing inside the factory.
