Stage 5 Valid Draft Fixtures

To generate valid test fixtures for draft validation in Vitest, use a local helper that emits a canonical draft scaffold including a headline, TLDR block, four bullets, and body text payload for consistent test structures.

A canonical draft scaffold for testing auto-advance logic is a standardized test fixture containing a headline, optional subtitle, near-top TLDR block, four bullets, and body text used to validate stage transition guards.

To ensure test draft fixtures match target word-count scenarios, subtract the canonical scaffold word count from the total target so the final draft length aligns with the intended testing configuration.

Yes, you can reuse draft scaffolds across unit and integration tests in TypeScript. The helper keeps fixtures consistent while isolating malformed drafts to explicit negative tests to prevent regressions.

TypeScript tests fail when draft fixtures deviate from the expected structure because the validation logic enforces a canonical TLDR block and scaffold format to guard against regressions in publishing workflows.
