Housekeeping/cleanup to unblock development

[nissa-seru]

Scope is various housekeeping/cleanup to unblock productive dev work.

Description

Existing issues fixed:

• Subsequent invocations of npm build fail due to lack of cleanup of /bin and incorrect parsing of -p flag
• Various path-related tests fail on fresh clone to Windows machine due to environment-related path syntax differences.
• Test suite in src/test fails to run.
• Test suite in src/test uses Mocha (inconsistent for use of Jest in 700+ other tests across the code base)
• Lint check at build time needlessly slows build and is redundant with same at commit time
• Enabled linting options are overly permissive
• Modified to enable more comprehensive checks as warnings, kept errors reserved for critical issues
• Modified pre-commit check to permit warnings (but not errors) to enable warnings to be used to flag non-blocking issues.
• Various instances of awaiting non-Thenables
• Verbosity of jest output was incompatible with use of Roo to iteratively debug (signal/noise too low, such that it overloaded context window, or, if truncated, lacked key info.)
• Reconfigured default jest output to improve concision
• Added scripts for verbose output
• Lacking project-wide lint command that could be used to populate Problems interface in VSCode
• Added more granular lint scripts
• Added lint task with problem matcher to tasks,json

Issues identified and not fixed:

• McpHub test suite fails; attempted to debug without success. Added .skip to this test suite accompanied by a TODO in comments to denoise testing for non-MCP development.
• Cline.test.ts test suite reliably triggers "Unexpected: No existing API conversation history" error. Attempted to debug by logging a warning and returning in the relevant case - was consistently met with recursion stack limit or zombie process issues. Recommend prioritizing a look at this for triage purposes to understand if the error is masking a more fundamental issue or whether can be fixed with better cleanup after test execution.

Important

Fix build and test issues, enhance linting, and improve logging for better development efficiency.

• Build and Test Fixes:
  • Fix npm build failures by cleaning /bin and correcting -p flag parsing.
  • Resolve path-related test failures on Windows by normalizing paths in path.test.ts.
  • Update jest.config.js to include src directory for tests and switch from Mocha to Jest in src/test.
• Linting and Code Quality:
  • Remove build-time linting; rely on pre-commit checks.
  • Update .eslintrc.json to enable stricter linting rules as warnings.
  • Add lint and lint:fix scripts in package.json.
• Awaiting Non-Thenables:
  • Fix instances of awaiting non-Thenables in Cline.ts, ClineProvider.ts, and process-images.ts.
• Logging and Output:
  • Adjust Jest verbosity in jest.config.js and add jest.debug.config.js for detailed output.
  • Introduce jest-custom-reporter.js for concise test summaries.
• Miscellaneous:
  • Add clean script to package.json for cleaning build artifacts.
  • Skip failing McpHub.test.ts suite and add TODO for fixing.

For clarity - the QA test failures are the path-related tests that I fixed in the PR :)

[samhvw8]

should we add more test for window not replace like this ?

[nissa-seru]

Good catch, took a stab at fix.

Closing stale PR; project config drift since PR was drafted is significant enough that the incremental value falls below the maintenance cost.
