The frame echoes most panel content elsewhere - the session token appears in
recent events, a replying target names a chart series, and the sample
panel's last-warning row satisfies a loose warning search - so whole-frame
assertions kept claiming coverage they did not have.
Panels are now addressed structurally: has_panel matches a title in a top
border, panel_rows slices a panel's interior to its own columns, and
assertions run against the owning panel. That fixes the session token,
recent-events warning line, graph-view panel exclusions and graph-view
target rows, and converts the remaining whole-frame checks in the module so
the class of defect does not come back.
Each tightened assertion was confirmed to fail against a deliberate
regression of the behavior it protects.
Four assertions did not protect what they described. Target labels were
searched across the whole frame, where the first target also appears in the
session header and a replying target appears in recent events and the graph
legend; labels are now matched against the target table's own columns, with
the status column and the replying target's last sample. The sample panel's
effective RTT is now asserted as a whole row, since the fixture's adjusted
and effective values coincide and a bare "2.5ms" still matched with the
effective field dropped. The minimum-height case now rejects dashboard
content like the minimum-width case does, and the compact layout checks for
the timing panel title rather than one incidental run of spaces from the
large timing formatter.
Each tightened assertion was confirmed to fail against a deliberate
regression of the behavior it protects.
The whole-frame substring assertions passed as long as the warning appeared
anywhere, so a sample panel regressing to "last warning: -" would still have
been reported as covered. The assertion now locates the last-warning row and
requires it to carry the warning itself.
The TUI had pure state and graph-viewport tests but nothing that rendered a
frame, so layout selection and panel presence were unprotected.
Eleven tests drive draw_dashboard through Ratatui's TestBackend across the
durable layouts: below the minimum width and height, the smallest usable
terminal, compact, large, multi-target, and the graph view in both target
modes, including active sample data, warning and error presentation, and
status-line state. Assertions are on visible text and layout facts rather
than full-screen snapshots.
Test-only change; production rendering is untouched.
