Adds tests/transactions.test.js, the first coverage of src/shared/transactions.js. 47 new tests; the suite goes from 62 to 109 across 5 files.

No source file is touched. src/shared/transactions.js is unmodified, per the scope rule on the issue.

What is covered

The two real attacks from README.md:730-814, as static fixtures

  • The fake "Ethereum"/"ETH" token at 0xD05339f9Ea5ab9d9F03B9d57F671d2abD1F55c82 with zero holders, carrying the real fraudulent transfer hash 0x85215772... from the victim to the 0xC3C0/0xC3c6 look-alike. Proven filtered under defaults, and proven to be reported through newFraudContracts so it persists to the blocklist.
  • The 1 gwei native dust transfer 0x2708ebdd... from the look-alike sender 0xC3c6B3b4402bD78A9582aB6b00E747769344F37E. Proven filtered under defaults.
  • A mixed history containing both attacks plus three legitimate entries, asserting exactly the legitimate three come back, in order.

Known-symbol spoof verification. isSpoofedSymbol is not exported (transactions.js:268 exports only fetchRecentTransactions and filterTransactions), and adding an export would mean modifying the file, so it is covered through filterTransactions, which calls it unconditionally and surfaces the result via newFraudContracts. Cases: a known symbol from a non-matching contract is spoofed; the genuine contract for that symbol is not; an unknown symbol from an unknown contract is not flagged by this check; "ETH" as an ERC-20 is spoofed from any contract including the real WETH one; symbol comparison is case-insensitive; native transactions are never spoof-filtered; a repeated fraud contract is reported once; an already-known fraud contract is not reported as new, including when supplied checksummed.

Each of the four filters, on and off. Known-symbol verification, the <1000-holder rule, the fraud contract blocklist, and the dust threshold each get a proven-working case and a proven-bypassed case, except known-symbol verification — see finding 1 below.

Boundaries. Holder count 0 / 999 / 1000 / 1001 against the 1,000 rule. Dust 99,999 / 100,000 / 100,001 gwei against the 100,000 gwei default, again with the default applied implicitly (no dustThresholdGwei key) and once more against a user-raised threshold.

Defaults. state.hideLowHolderTokens, hideFraudContracts, hideDustTransactions are asserted true and dustThresholdGwei 100000, matching README.md:810-814 and the Settings view.

No false positives. A plain 0.05 ETH transfer between ordinary addresses, a genuine 1500.5 USDC transfer from 0xa0b86991... with 3.5M holders, and a genuine WETH transfer, each proven to survive all four rules with defaults on. Also asserted that surviving entries are the same object references and are not mutated.

Merge/dedup. The cross-address merge lives in home.js:178-186, not here; what transactions.js owns is the per-address merge of normal transactions with ERC-20 transfers inside fetchRecentTransactions. Covered: swap consolidation into one entry preferring the received leg while preserving the user's own from/to; a standalone token transfer getting its own entry; two legs of the same token in one transaction collapsing to one entry; two different tokens in one transaction staying separate; descending block-number sort with the count cap; and failed Blockscout responses yielding [] rather than throwing.

No network. ../src/shared/log is mocked at the module boundary so debugFetch returns static fixture payloads, global.fetch is a stub that throws, and the final test asserts global.fetch was never called.

Bugs found and deliberately NOT fixed

Left in place per the scope rule; each has a test asserting the actual current behaviour, named with a current behaviour: prefix so nobody mistakes it for an endorsement. Suggest filing these separately.

  1. Known-symbol verification cannot be disabled — src/shared/transactions.js:222-229. README.md:810-814 says all four filters "default to on but can be individually disabled by the user". There is no setting for this one: no state flag (src/shared/state.js:24-27 has only the other three plus the threshold), no checkbox (src/popup/index.html:954-976), and filterTransactions applies the spoof check before any flag is consulted. Either the README overpromises or the setting is missing. Test: current behaviour: spoof filtering cannot be disabled by any setting.

  2. A dust threshold of 0 silently becomes 100,000 — src/shared/transactions.js:257 reads filters.dustThresholdGwei || 100000. Setting the threshold to 0 is the natural way to ask for no dust filtering while leaving the toggle on, and it instead reinstates the default. src/popup/views/settings.js:305-310 lets the value be edited, so a user can reach this. Test: current behaviour: a threshold of 0 falls back to the 100,000 gwei default.

  3. A plain ERC-20 transfer produces two history rows — src/shared/transactions.js:35 and :163-190. For a plain transfer the Blockscout method is "transfer", so parseTx does not mark the entry as a contract call in the display sense, the merge loop's existing.direction === "contract" test fails, and the token transfer is stored under its own key alongside the native row. The result is a duplicated transaction: a zero-value "Sent 0.0000 ETH" row plus the real token row. The zero-value row also escapes the dust filter, because isContractCall is true for it and transactions.js:253-260 exempts contract calls. Test: current behaviour: a plain ERC-20 transfer produces two entries, which asserts both rows survive filtering.

  4. isSpoofedSymbol is case-sensitive on the contract address — src/shared/transactions.js:209 compares tx.contractAddress !== legit against a lowercased known address, with no normalisation, while the blocklist check two branches up does lowercase its input (:215-217). Inside the app this is unreachable because parseTokenTransfer lowercases, but filterTransactions is exported as a pure function and a caller passing a checksummed address has a genuine token classified as a spoof and added to the fraud blocklist. Hardening rather than a live bug. Test: current behaviour: a checksummed genuine contract is treated as a spoof.

Verification

  • make check green: 5 suites, 109 tests, all passing, plus prettier --check. Whole target runs in about 8 seconds; script/test alone takes ~1 second, far inside its 30-second timeout.
  • make fmt run; the formatted result is in the commit.
  • Mutation-checked, because a filter test that passes for the wrong reason is worse than no test. With isSpoofedSymbol forced to return false, 10 tests fail. With both < comparisons changed to <= (transactions.js:245 and :257), exactly the 4 boundary tests fail and nothing else. Both mutations were reverted before committing; git diff confirms no source file is modified on this branch.

Not in scope

The four findings above are documented, not fixed. Nothing outside tests/transactions.test.js and a one-line TODO.md entry under Completed Steps is touched; the stale Status and Next Step blocks are left alone as instructed.

Adds `tests/transactions.test.js`, the first coverage of `src/shared/transactions.js`. 47 new tests; the suite goes from 62 to 109 across 5 files.

Built and verified.

What landed: one new file, tests/transactions.test.js (1002 lines, 47 tests), plus a single added line in TODO.md under Completed Steps. src/shared/transactions.js and every other source file are untouched — git diff main...HEAD --stat is two files, 1004 insertions, 0 deletions.

How it is structured. Six describe blocks: a guard block asserting the token-list facts the fixtures depend on (so the suite fails loudly rather than silently going vacuous if KNOWN_SYMBOLS changes and SPAMTKN or USDC starts resolving differently); the two documented README attacks; known-symbol spoof verification; the low-holder rule; the fraud blocklist; the dust threshold; the defaults; the false-positive cases; and the fetchRecentTransactions merge/dedup block.

How it was verified.

  • make check green on the branch: 5 suites, 109 tests (up from 62), plus prettier --check on the whole tree. Total wall time about 8 seconds. script/test alone is ~1 second against its 30-second timeout, so there is plenty of headroom.

  • make fmt run before committing; make fmt-check clean afterwards.

  • The pre-commit hook ran make check again at commit time and passed.

  • Mutation testing, since the whole point is catching a filter that silently stops filtering. Three deliberate defects were injected into src/shared/transactions.js one at a time and the suite re-run:

    • isSpoofedSymbol forced to return false → 10 tests fail.
    • tx.holders &lt; 1000 changed to &lt;= 1000 and tx.valueGwei &lt; threshold changed to &lt;= → exactly 4 tests fail, all four of them the boundary assertions, and nothing else.

    All mutations were reverted with git checkout -- before staging; the committed tree has no source changes.

  • No network: ../src/shared/log is mocked so debugFetch never reaches fetch, global.fetch is a stub that throws if called, and the last test in the file asserts it was never called.

Four divergences from documented behaviour are recorded but not fixed, per the scope rule on #160 — details and file:line are in the PR description. Briefly: known-symbol verification has no off switch despite README.md:810-814 promising one; a dust threshold of 0 silently reverts to 100,000 gwei; a plain ERC-20 transfer yields two history rows, one of them a zero-value native row that also escapes the dust filter; and isSpoofedSymbol does not normalise the case of tx.contractAddress the way the blocklist check does. Each has a test pinning the actual behaviour, named with a current behaviour: prefix. Happy to take any of them as a follow-up issue.

Review: PASS

Independent adversarial review of 3d87f8b against issue #160 and the manager
note on it. Reviewer did not author this change.

Scope and mergeability

  • Diff is exactly 2 files, +1004/-0: tests/transactions.test.js (new, 1002
    lines) and TODO.md (+2). src/shared/transactions.js is not modified,
    as manager note 2 requires. Verified with git diff --stat main..3d87f8b.
  • RULES.md unmodified. No source file touched. No scope creep.
  • origin/main is still 23aeae4, identical to the PR base, so the branch is
    a fast-forward. No conflicts. Gitea reports mergeable: true.
  • CI green on the head commit: check / check (push), "Successful in 20s".
  • make check run locally on the head commit: green. 5 suites, 109 tests,
    script/test 0.65s wall, whole target ~7s. Far inside the 30s timeout in
    script/test. prettier --check clean, so make fmt was run.

1. Mutation testing — the core of this review

I re-ran the author's two claimed mutations and added nine of my own. All
mutations were applied to src/shared/transactions.js, run via make test,
and reverted; git status is clean and the working tree matches 3d87f8b.

Author's claims, both confirmed exactly:

Mutation Claimed Observed
isSpoofedSymbol forced to return false 10 tests fail 10 failed, 99 passed
both &lt; changed to &lt;= (:245, :257) exactly the 4 boundary tests 4 failed, and exactly the 4 boundary tests

The &lt;= run failed precisely: boundary: exactly 1000 holders is kept,
boundary: exactly 100,000 gwei is kept, the 100,000 gwei default applies when no threshold is supplied, a user-raised threshold is honoured on both sides. Nothing else. The claim is honest.

My own mutations:

# Mutation Result
3 blocklist check disabled (:232-238 forced false) killed, 3 failed
4 dust comparison inverted (&lt; to &gt;, :257) killed, 12 failed
5a holder threshold weakened, 1000 to 10 (:245) killed, 1 failed (boundary: 999 holders is filtered)
5b holder rule ignores its hideLowHolderTokens flag (:242) killed, 2 failed
6 || changed to ?? in the dust default (:257) — i.e. fixing documented bug 2 killed, 1 failed, and it is exactly current behaviour: a threshold of 0 falls back to the 100,000 gwei default
7 .toLowerCase() dropped from the blocklist normalisation (:216) killed, 3 failed
8 legit === null returns false instead of true (:208) killed, 7 failed
9 .toUpperCase() dropped from the symbol comparison (:205) killed (part of run 7, distinct tests)
10 newFraud dedup removed (:224) killed, 3 failed
11 contract-call dust exemption removed (!tx.isContractCall, :255) killed
12 sort inverted to ascending (:194) killed
13 merge fallback flipped to isReceived && !needsAmount (:173) killed, 1 failed
14 merge fallback narrowed to isReceived only (:173) SURVIVED
15 tx.holders !== null null-guard removed (:244) SURVIVED
16 over-filtering: holder threshold to 1000000 and dust default to 10000000 killed, 8 failed, including a genuine WETH transfer survives all four rules

13 of 15 mutations killed; 2 survived. Both survivors are in non-security
edge branches and are noted below as non-blocking. Mutation 6 is the important
one: it proves the "current behaviour" tests genuinely pin the bugs rather
than blessing them — fixing the bug fails exactly the test named for it, which
is what a future fixer needs.

These are not restated-implementation tests. They constrain the code.

2. Boundary correctness against the README

The assertions encode the README's semantics, not merely the code's:

  • README.md:786-789 — "fewer than 1,000 holders are hidden". Code is
    tx.holders &lt; 1000 (transactions.js:245). Tests assert 0 and 999
    filtered, 1000 and 1001 kept. Correct: 1000 is not "fewer than 1,000".
  • README.md:803-807 — "hides transactions below a configurable dust
    threshold (default: 100,000 gwei / 0.0001 ETH)". Code is valueGwei &lt; threshold (transactions.js:257). Tests assert 99,999 filtered, 100,000
    and 100,001 kept. Correct: 100,000 is not "below" 100,000. The unit maths
    also checks out (1e5 gwei = 1e-4 ETH).
  • RULES.md agrees on both ("Tokens with < 1,000 holders hidden", "Dust
    transactions below configurable threshold hidden").

No off-by-one exists to catch, and the tests would catch one if introduced —
mutation 2 proves it.

3. The four "current behaviour:" tests

All four are genuine defects, genuinely pinned, and unmistakably named.

  1. tests/transactions.test.js:349 — spoof filtering cannot be disabled.
    Verified: src/shared/state.js DEFAULT_STATE has only
    hideLowHolderTokens, hideFraudContracts, hideDustTransactions,
    dustThresholdGwei — no spoof flag — while transactions.js:223 applies
    isSpoofedSymbol before any flag is read. README.md:810-814 promises
    "known symbol verification" is individually disableable. Real divergence.
  2. tests/transactions.test.js:581 — threshold 0 falls back to 100,000.
    Verified by mutation 6.
  3. tests/transactions.test.js:895 — plain ERC-20 transfer yields two rows.
    Verified by reading transactions.js:35 (method !== "transfer" keeps
    direction as sent/received) and :166 (merge requires direction === "contract"), so the token transfer is keyed separately at :188. The
    zero-value native row also escapes dust filtering because isContractCall
    is true (:255). Real bug.
  4. tests/transactions.test.js:337 — checksummed genuine contract read as a
    spoof. Verified: :209 compares against a lowercased address with !==
    while :216 lowercases its blocklist input. Hardening gap, correctly
    characterised as unreachable in-app.

Each carries an explanatory comment above it and the current behaviour: name
prefix. A future fixer will see the right failing test.

Note on the issue's DoD bullet "each of the four filters ... proven to be
bypassed when off": this is not literally satisfiable for known-symbol
verification because no such setting exists. Documenting rather than fixing is
what manager note 2 requires, and finding 1 above does exactly that. Accepted.

4. False-positive coverage

Realistic and load-bearing. nativeTx() is 0.05 ETH (valueGwei: 50000000,
arithmetically correct), tokenTx() is 1500.5 USDC from the genuine
0xa0b8...eb48 with 3.5M holders, plus a genuine WETH transfer at 850k
holders and the real 0.005 ETH send at 5,000,000 gwei. Mutation 16 confirms
these bite: raising the holder threshold to 1,000,000 fails a genuine WETH transfer survives all four rules, and raising the dust default fails the
default-threshold test. Over-filtering would not ship silently past this file.

surviving entries are the same objects, unmodified
(tests/transactions.test.js:673) additionally pins that filterTransactions
stays pure.

5. No network

Confirmed by inspection, not just by the assertion:

  • src/shared/log is mocked at the module boundary
    (tests/transactions.test.js:16-26), so debugFetch is a jest.fn().
  • src/shared/tokenList.js requires the same mocked ./log; its only network
    call is debugFetch at tokenList.js:3636, inside a function, never
    invoked here.
  • src/shared/state.js performs no fetch; it touches only
    chrome.storage.local, stubbed at tests/transactions.test.js:34.
  • ethers is used only for formatEther/formatUnits, both pure.
  • global.fetch is a throwing stub and asserted uncalled at :1000.

No transitive path to the network exists.

6. Test hygiene

  • Runtime 0.65s against a 30s timeout.
  • No inter-test order dependence. I temporarily ran the suite with
    --runInBand --randomize three times; 109/109 passed every time. All
    fixtures are builder functions returning fresh objects, filters() spreads
    DEFAULT_FILTERS per call, and the debugFetch mock is reset in
    beforeEach (:712-714).
  • Mocking is at the module boundary (jest.mock("../src/shared/log")), not
    reaching into internals. isSpoofedSymbol is correctly exercised through
    the exported filterTransactions plus newFraudContracts rather than by
    adding an export — the right call given the no-source-changes rule.
  • No reliance on real system time: all timestamps are fixed literals and
    TS_EPOCH derives from a fixed UTC string (:696-697). No Date.now().

7. Policy

Non-blocking observations

Not defects in this PR; worth folding into the follow-up work.

  1. src/shared/transactions.js:173 — narrowing isReceived || needsAmount to
    isReceived survives the suite. No fixture covers a swap whose token legs
    are all sent (a token-to-ETH swap, for instance), so the sent-leg
    fallback that supplies the display amount is unpinned. A regression there
    would render a swap with a blank amount. One fixture would close it.
  2. src/shared/transactions.js:244 — removing the tx.holders !== null guard
    survives. No fixture pairs a non-null contractAddress with null
    holders, so nothing pins that a token of unknown holder count is not
    silently hidden. Low practical impact, since parseTokenTransfer:112
    always yields a number.
  3. tests/transactions.test.js:999 — no test in this file performed a network request depends on declaration order to be meaningful. Harmless
    as written because nothing ever calls fetch, but under --randomize it
    can run first and pass trivially.
  4. The hardcoded 100000 default is pinned by a single test (:526); every
    other dust test passes an explicit threshold via DEFAULT_FILTERS.
    Adequate, but thin for a documented constant.

Verdict

PASS. The change satisfies the definition of done, honours all five
binding notes on #160, is mergeable, is CI-green, and the tests demonstrably
constrain the code rather than restate it.

## Review: PASS Independent adversarial review of `3d87f8b` against issue #160 and the manager note on it. Reviewer did not author this change. ### Scope and mergeability - Diff is exactly 2 files, +1004/-0: `tests/transactions.test.js` (new, 1002 lines) and `TODO.md` (+2). `src/shared/transactions.js` is **not** modified, as manager note 2 requires. Verified with `git diff --stat main..3d87f8b`. - `RULES.md` unmodified. No source file touched. No scope creep. - `origin/main` is still `23aeae4`, identical to the PR base, so the branch is a fast-forward. No conflicts. Gitea reports `mergeable: true`. - CI green on the head commit: `check / check (push)`, "Successful in 20s". - `make check` run locally on the head commit: green. 5 suites, 109 tests, `script/test` 0.65s wall, whole target ~7s. Far inside the 30s `timeout` in `script/test`. `prettier --check` clean, so `make fmt` was run. ### 1. Mutation testing — the core of this review I re-ran the author's two claimed mutations and added nine of my own. All mutations were applied to `src/shared/transactions.js`, run via `make test`, and reverted; `git status` is clean and the working tree matches `3d87f8b`. Author's claims, both **confirmed exactly**: | Mutation | Claimed | Observed | | --- | --- | --- | | `isSpoofedSymbol` forced to return `false` | 10 tests fail | **10 failed**, 99 passed | | both `&lt;` changed to `&lt;=` (`:245`, `:257`) | exactly the 4 boundary tests | **4 failed**, and exactly the 4 boundary tests | The `&lt;=` run failed precisely: `boundary: exactly 1000 holders is kept`, `boundary: exactly 100,000 gwei is kept`, `the 100,000 gwei default applies when no threshold is supplied`, `a user-raised threshold is honoured on both sides`. Nothing else. The claim is honest. My own mutations: | # | Mutation | Result | | --- | --- | --- | | 3 | blocklist check disabled (`:232-238` forced false) | **killed**, 3 failed | | 4 | dust comparison inverted (`&lt;` to `&gt;`, `:257`) | **killed**, 12 failed | | 5a | holder threshold weakened, `1000` to `10` (`:245`) | **killed**, 1 failed (`boundary: 999 holders is filtered`) | | 5b | holder rule ignores its `hideLowHolderTokens` flag (`:242`) | **killed**, 2 failed | | 6 | `\|\|` changed to `??` in the dust default (`:257`) — i.e. *fixing* documented bug 2 | **killed**, 1 failed, and it is exactly `current behaviour: a threshold of 0 falls back to the 100,000 gwei default` | | 7 | `.toLowerCase()` dropped from the blocklist normalisation (`:216`) | **killed**, 3 failed | | 8 | `legit === null` returns `false` instead of `true` (`:208`) | **killed**, 7 failed | | 9 | `.toUpperCase()` dropped from the symbol comparison (`:205`) | **killed** (part of run 7, distinct tests) | | 10 | `newFraud` dedup removed (`:224`) | **killed**, 3 failed | | 11 | contract-call dust exemption removed (`!tx.isContractCall`, `:255`) | **killed** | | 12 | sort inverted to ascending (`:194`) | **killed** | | 13 | merge fallback flipped to `isReceived && !needsAmount` (`:173`) | **killed**, 1 failed | | 14 | merge fallback narrowed to `isReceived` only (`:173`) | **SURVIVED** | | 15 | `tx.holders !== null` null-guard removed (`:244`) | **SURVIVED** | | 16 | over-filtering: holder threshold to `1000000` and dust default to `10000000` | **killed**, 8 failed, including `a genuine WETH transfer survives all four rules` | **13 of 15 mutations killed; 2 survived.** Both survivors are in non-security edge branches and are noted below as non-blocking. Mutation 6 is the important one: it proves the "current behaviour" tests genuinely *pin* the bugs rather than blessing them — fixing the bug fails exactly the test named for it, which is what a future fixer needs. These are not restated-implementation tests. They constrain the code. ### 2. Boundary correctness against the README The assertions encode the README's semantics, not merely the code's: - `README.md:786-789` — "fewer than 1,000 holders are hidden". Code is `tx.holders &lt; 1000` (`transactions.js:245`). Tests assert 0 and 999 filtered, 1000 and 1001 kept. Correct: 1000 is not "fewer than 1,000". - `README.md:803-807` — "hides transactions below a configurable dust threshold (default: 100,000 gwei / 0.0001 ETH)". Code is `valueGwei &lt; threshold` (`transactions.js:257`). Tests assert 99,999 filtered, 100,000 and 100,001 kept. Correct: 100,000 is not "below" 100,000. The unit maths also checks out (1e5 gwei = 1e-4 ETH). - `RULES.md` agrees on both ("Tokens with &lt; 1,000 holders hidden", "Dust transactions below configurable threshold hidden"). No off-by-one exists to catch, and the tests would catch one if introduced — mutation 2 proves it. ### 3. The four "current behaviour:" tests All four are genuine defects, genuinely pinned, and unmistakably named. 1. `tests/transactions.test.js:349` — spoof filtering cannot be disabled. Verified: `src/shared/state.js` `DEFAULT_STATE` has only `hideLowHolderTokens`, `hideFraudContracts`, `hideDustTransactions`, `dustThresholdGwei` — no spoof flag — while `transactions.js:223` applies `isSpoofedSymbol` before any flag is read. `README.md:810-814` promises "known symbol verification" is individually disableable. Real divergence. 2. `tests/transactions.test.js:581` — threshold 0 falls back to 100,000. Verified by mutation 6. 3. `tests/transactions.test.js:895` — plain ERC-20 transfer yields two rows. Verified by reading `transactions.js:35` (`method !== "transfer"` keeps `direction` as sent/received) and `:166` (merge requires `direction === "contract"`), so the token transfer is keyed separately at `:188`. The zero-value native row also escapes dust filtering because `isContractCall` is true (`:255`). Real bug. 4. `tests/transactions.test.js:337` — checksummed genuine contract read as a spoof. Verified: `:209` compares against a lowercased address with `!==` while `:216` lowercases its blocklist input. Hardening gap, correctly characterised as unreachable in-app. Each carries an explanatory comment above it and the `current behaviour:` name prefix. A future fixer will see the right failing test. Note on the issue's DoD bullet "each of the four filters ... proven to be bypassed when off": this is not literally satisfiable for known-symbol verification because no such setting exists. Documenting rather than fixing is what manager note 2 requires, and finding 1 above does exactly that. Accepted. ### 4. False-positive coverage Realistic and load-bearing. `nativeTx()` is 0.05 ETH (`valueGwei: 50000000`, arithmetically correct), `tokenTx()` is 1500.5 USDC from the genuine `0xa0b8...eb48` with 3.5M holders, plus a genuine WETH transfer at 850k holders and the real 0.005 ETH send at 5,000,000 gwei. Mutation 16 confirms these bite: raising the holder threshold to 1,000,000 fails `a genuine WETH transfer survives all four rules`, and raising the dust default fails the default-threshold test. Over-filtering would not ship silently past this file. `surviving entries are the same objects, unmodified` (`tests/transactions.test.js:673`) additionally pins that `filterTransactions` stays pure. ### 5. No network Confirmed by inspection, not just by the assertion: - `src/shared/log` is mocked at the module boundary (`tests/transactions.test.js:16-26`), so `debugFetch` is a `jest.fn()`. - `src/shared/tokenList.js` requires the same mocked `./log`; its only network call is `debugFetch` at `tokenList.js:3636`, inside a function, never invoked here. - `src/shared/state.js` performs no fetch; it touches only `chrome.storage.local`, stubbed at `tests/transactions.test.js:34`. - `ethers` is used only for `formatEther`/`formatUnits`, both pure. - `global.fetch` is a throwing stub and asserted uncalled at `:1000`. No transitive path to the network exists. ### 6. Test hygiene - Runtime 0.65s against a 30s timeout. - No inter-test order dependence. I temporarily ran the suite with `--runInBand --randomize` three times; 109/109 passed every time. All fixtures are builder functions returning fresh objects, `filters()` spreads `DEFAULT_FILTERS` per call, and the `debugFetch` mock is reset in `beforeEach` (`:712-714`). - Mocking is at the module boundary (`jest.mock("../src/shared/log")`), not reaching into internals. `isSpoofedSymbol` is correctly exercised through the exported `filterTransactions` plus `newFraudContracts` rather than by adding an export — the right call given the no-source-changes rule. - No reliance on real system time: all timestamps are fixed literals and `TS_EPOCH` derives from a fixed UTC string (`:696-697`). No `Date.now()`. ### 7. Policy - No Claude/Anthropic reference anywhere in the diff, the commit message, or the PR body. No attribution trailers. (The `claude*` strings in `src/shared/phishingBlocklist.json` are pre-existing vendored scam-domain data on `main`, untouched here.) - Commit title ends with ` (closes #160)`. - `RULES.md` unmodified. - `TODO.md` edit is surgical: 2 lines added under Completed Steps, Status and Next Step blocks untouched, as manager note 1 requires. Prettier-clean. - Inclusive terminology throughout; "blocklist", never the other word. - Naming is consistent with the sibling suites (`etherscanLabels.test.js`, `phishingDomains.test.js`, `uniswap.test.js`). No stutter. ### Non-blocking observations Not defects in this PR; worth folding into the follow-up work. 1. `src/shared/transactions.js:173` — narrowing `isReceived || needsAmount` to `isReceived` survives the suite. No fixture covers a swap whose token legs are all `sent` (a token-to-ETH swap, for instance), so the sent-leg fallback that supplies the display amount is unpinned.

The hardcoded `100000` default is pinned by a single test (`:526`); every other dust test passes an explicit threshold via `DEFAULT_FILTERS`.

Manager note (the review verdict is in its own comment above).

Independent adversarial review passed. For a retrofitted test PR the only
question that matters is whether the tests actually constrain the code or
merely restate it, so the reviewer mutation-tested rather than checking green:
15 mutations applied to src/shared/transactions.js, 13 killed.

Both of the author's claims reproduced exactly — forcing isSpoofedSymbol to
false fails 10 tests, and flipping both &lt; comparisons fails exactly the 4
boundary tests and nothing else. The reviewer's own mutations also died:
disabling the blocklist, inverting the dust comparison, dropping
.toLowerCase() from blocklist normalisation, removing the newFraud dedup,
and — importantly — deliberate over-filtering (holder threshold to 1,000,000,
dust default to 10,000,000) killed 8 tests including the genuine-WETH case.
That last one is the check I most wanted, because over-filtering silently
deletes real user history and is the failure mode that would otherwise ship
unnoticed.

The most elegant result: changing || to ?? at transactions.js:257 — that
is, fixing the zero-threshold bug — fails exactly one test, the one named
current behaviour: a threshold of 0 falls back to the 100,000 gwei default.
That proves the four current behaviour: tests genuinely pin the bugs as bugs
rather than blessing them as correct, which was the main risk in asking the
author to document-not-fix.

Also confirmed: diff is exactly 2 files +1004/-0 with transactions.js
untouched, no network reachable from any test, no order dependence
(--runInBand --randomize passed 109/109 three times), and 0.65s against the
30s budget.

Marking merge-ready and assigning to @sneak. No merge conditions on this one
— it is test-only, touches no source, and has no browser-verification gap,
which is exactly why it was worth taking ahead of most of the milestone.

On the reviewer's suggestion to file the four defects as one issue: already
filed, but split rather than combined, because they need different work and
different people could take them in parallel — #176 (the missing spoof
verification setting, the README-promise violation), #177 (duplicated plain
ERC-20 row, user-visible on three screens), #179 (the || 100000 zero-threshold
fallback plus the checksum normalisation gap). Each references the
current behaviour: test that should be inverted when it is fixed.

Two surviving mutations, both non-blocking and both genuine coverage gaps
rather than defects:

  • transactions.js:173 — narrowing isReceived || needsAmount to isReceived
    survives; no fixture covers a swap whose token legs are all sent.
  • transactions.js:244 — removing the tx.holders !== null guard survives; no
    fixture pairs a non-null contractAddress with null holders.

Rather than file these as their own issue, I have folded each into the issue
that will already be editing those lines — the first into #177 (same merge
loop), the second into #179 (same filter normalisation work). That way the
coverage lands with the change instead of as orphaned busywork.

Details
3d87f8bda5 
src/shared/transactions.js had zero test coverage despite owning the four
anti-poisoning filters that README.md:730-814 documents as a core security
property: known token symbol verification, the 1,000-holder rule, the fraud
contract blocklist, and the dust threshold. A regression in any of them does
not crash, it just silently stops filtering, so the behaviour needs pinning
down in both directions.

Adds tests/transactions.test.js with fixtures built from the two real attacks
cited in the README: the fake "Ethereum"/"ETH" token at 0xD05339f9 with zero
holders, and the 1 gwei native dust transfer 0x2708ebdd from the look-alike
sender 0xC3c6B3b4. Every filter is proven to work when on and to be bypassed
when off, both thresholds are asserted at, just below, and just above their
boundary, and legitimate traffic (a plain ETH transfer and genuine USDC and
WETH transfers) is proven to survive all four rules.

Also covers the per-address merge and dedup that fetchRecentTransactions owns,
with debugFetch mocked at the module boundary. No test performs a network
request: global.fetch is a throwing stub and is asserted never to have been
called.

Several tests are named as documenting current behaviour where it diverges
from the README; no source file is modified here.
