Tests must be self-contained; mock external service dependencies	**/*_test.go	false

Test Isolation

Tests must be self-contained. The only shared infrastructure allowed is the database.

• Database: tests may depend on a real database connection — this is expected and acceptable.
• External services (gRPC clients, HTTP APIs, third-party SDKs, etc.): must be mocked or stubbed. Tests must never make real calls to external services.
• Use interfaces for service dependencies so they are straightforward to mock in tests.
• Keep mocks minimal — only stub the methods the test actually exercises.
