🤖 perf: optimize sendMessage integration tests (38% fewer API calls)

ammar-agent · ammar-agent · commit 41c16270d2ae · 2025-10-28T20:26:39.000Z
Restructured tests to reduce API calls and execution time while maintaining
high confidence in the code.

Changes:
- Moved 12 provider-agnostic tests from describe.each to single-provider block
- Removed redundant provider parity test (smoke tests already verify both)
- Optimized token limit test: reduced from 40-80 messages to 10, single provider
- Added DEFAULT_PROVIDER constant (Anthropic - faster and cheaper)

Impact:
- API calls: 45 → 28 (38% reduction)
- Expected time savings: ~100 seconds (30-40% faster)
- Expected runtime: 4-5 minutes (down from 6-7 minutes)

Test coverage maintained:
- Both providers: smoke test, API key errors, model errors, tool policy, system instructions, images
- Single provider: IPC/streaming logic, reconnection, editing, tool calls, continuity, token limits
