ln-635-test-isolation-auditor

Test isolation auditing identifies external API calls, real database access, file system usage, and time/date dependencies that cause flaky or order-dependent tests. Run the auditor to scan your test suite, receive findings with severity levels, and get recommendations for fixing isolation violations.

The auditor detects six anti-patterns across External APIs, Database, File System, Time/Date, Random, and Network categories. It scans for determinism violations, shared state, and dependencies that break test reliability, then returns a structured JSON report with remediation guidance.

Yes. The auditor runs as an L3 worker in the ln-630 coordinator pipeline, producing a compliance score (X/10) and structured findings JSON suitable for CI governance, automated gates, and integration with existing test workflows.

The auditor performs rule-based detection using grep-like checks and mock inspection to identify non-deterministic behavior—time/date calls, random number generation, external dependencies—that cause tests to pass or fail inconsistently regardless of execution order.

The auditor returns a JSON report containing detected findings, severity classifications, actionable recommendations, and a numeric compliance score. Results integrate directly into CI governance systems for automated decision-making and tracking.
