Trey T d11cc82fec Perf: inject auth token at launch to skip the UI login (~26-50% faster)
Measured: ~half of every authenticated test was fixed setup, dominated by the
UI login (typing email+password, keyboard/SecureField dance, ~8-12s). The test
already creates the account via API and holds its real Kratos session token —
so instead of typing credentials, pass the token as a launch arg and boot the
app already authenticated.

- App (UITestRuntime + iOSApp): reads --ui-test-session-token; after the
  --reset-state clear, calls DataManager.setAuthToken(token) and replicates the
  post-login init the UI login path runs (getCurrentUser + initializeLookups +
  getMyResidences + getTasks) so owner-gated/data-gated screens (residence
  detail delete + manage-users, pickers, lists) work on boot. Guarded by
  UITestRuntime.isEnabled — no effect on production.
- AuthenticatedUITestCase: in fresh-account mode, create the account + seed its
  preconditions BEFORE launch, expose the token via additionalLaunchArguments,
  and drop the UI login. Legacy (usesFreshAccount=false) suites still UI-login.

Measured per-test medians: Contractor 34s -> 25s; Task (uses lookups) ~34s ->
16s. TESTING.md updated. All affected suites pass; 0 leaked accounts.

# HoneyDue iOS Tests — How it works
Two test targets:
| Target | Kind | What it covers | Speed |
|--------|------|----------------|-------|
| **HoneyDueUITests** | XCUITest | Drives the real app via accessibility IDs. Organized by domain. | slow (per-test app launch + account) |
| **HoneyDueAPITests** | standalone unit-test | Pure-API/contract tests (no UI, no app launch). | seconds |
## Running
```bash
cd iosApp
# Full run: Smoke gate -> Seed -> API -> Parallel UI (8 workers) -> Sweep
./run_ui_tests.sh
# Variants
./run_ui_tests.sh "iPhone Air" 6 # device + worker count
./run_ui_tests.sh --smoke # just the smoke gate
./run_ui_tests.sh --only-api # just the fast API target
./run_ui_tests.sh --only-parallel # just the UI suites
```
The parallel phase runs the **whole UI target minus** the four phase-managed
suites (`SmokeUITests`, `AppLaunchUITests`, `AAA_SeedTests`,
`SuiteZZ_CleanupTests`) via `-skip-testing`. **New suites are picked up
automatically** — there is no hand-maintained include list to forget to update.
## Per-test account isolation (the core idea)
Every UI test that needs to be logged in subclasses `AuthenticatedUITestCase`,
which in `setUp`:
1. mints a **unique, pre-verified Kratos identity**
`uit_<domain>_<uuid>@test.honeydue.local` (see `Core/Fixtures/TestAccount.swift`),
2. boots the app **already authenticated** by passing the account's real Kratos
token as `--ui-test-session-token` (the app reads it in `UITestRuntime` and
calls `DataManager.setAuthToken`). This skips the slow, flaky UI login
(~812s/test) — the app lands straight on the main tabs. Logged-OUT suites
(login/registration/onboarding) still drive the real login UI, since that's
what they test,
3. exposes `session` / `cleaner` / `account` for seeding under its **own** token,
and in `tearDown` calls `account.delete()`, which **cascades all of the
account's data and clears the Kratos identity** in one call.
No test shares state with any other, so suites run in parallel at high worker
counts with zero data races. (This replaced the old shared-`testuser` model
that capped the suite at 2 workers and forced Suite6 to run isolated.)
### Seeding data the UI must SEE
A fresh account is **empty at login**. Anything you seed via API *after* login
is invisible to the app until a manual refresh. So:
- **Creating** a thing through the UI → no setup needed (but note: task and
document creation are gated on a residence existing — set
`override var requiresResidence: Bool { true }`, which seeds one *before*
login and exposes it as `seededResidence`).
- **Viewing / editing / deleting an existing** thing → seed it **before login**:
```swift
override func seedAccountPreconditions(_ account: TestAccount) {
super.seedAccountPreconditions(account) // seeds seededResidence if requiresResidence
let r = seededResidence ?? account.seedResidence()
myTask = account.seedTask(residenceId: r.id, title: "Edit me")
}
```
## Adding a suite
1. Pick the domain folder (`Task/`, `Residence/`, …). The folder is an Xcode
synchronized group, so a new `.swift` file is compiled into the target
automatically — no `.pbxproj` editing.
2. Name it `<Domain><Aspect>UITests`; subclass `BaseUITestCase` (logged-out
surface: login/registration/onboarding) or `AuthenticatedUITestCase`
(logged-in feature work).
3. Use accessibility IDs from `iosApp/Helpers/AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift`
(shared with the app — the single source of truth).
4. It runs automatically in the parallel phase. Done.
For a **pure-API** test (no UI): add it to `HoneyDueAPITests/` instead — it'll
run in the fast API phase.
## Known trade-off
Per-test account creation costs ~12s of setup (Kratos create + login). For a
big suite that adds up; if a full run drags, the planned mitigation is a
recycled account pool keyed by worker id. Correctness-first today.
