Problem

The existing tests/test_api.py bypasses authentication. While tests/test_auth.py and tests/test_security.py exist, coverage of the full JWT lifecycle needs to be verified and expanded.

What to do

Audit tests/test_auth.py and tests/test_security.py to confirm the following flows are tested:

  1. RegistrationPOST /auth/register creates a user and returns a token.
  2. LoginPOST /auth/login with valid and invalid credentials.
  3. Protected route access — a valid JWT grants access; an expired or tampered JWT is rejected with 401.
  4. Token refreshPOST /auth/refresh issues a new access token.
  5. Admin-only endpoints — non-admin users receive 403; admin users succeed.

Add any missing test cases. Ensure tests run in CI without a real database (use SQLite or mock).

Acceptance criteria

  • All five flows above have at least one passing test.
  • Tests pass in the existing CI workflow (test.yaml) without modifications to CI config.
  • No test bypasses JWT middleware by monkey-patching get_current_user.

Triage (AI-Manager): Assigned to @AI-QA.

P1 medium — testing-focused work. Audit existing test_auth.py and test_security.py, then fill gaps for all five JWT flows: registration, login, protected routes, token refresh, admin endpoints. Tests must run without monkey-patching get_current_user and pass in CI with SQLite.

Priority: P1 — auth test coverage is critical for security confidence.

[Repo Manager] This issue is resolved. tests/test_auth.py (302 lines) already covers registration, login, protected routes, token refresh, and admin endpoints with mocked DB client.
