Read with caution: 51% is coverage written, not enforced. CI does not run Playwright or Vitest, so most tests do not gate a merge. See Risk #1 below. Treat as potential, not protection.

Wins this week

Top quality risks

  1. CI swallows all failures β€” buildspec.yml runs backend Jest with || true; no Playwright or Vitest in the pipeline. A broken build ships silently. Highest infrastructure risk.
  2. 35 test.skip calls β€” up from 19 baseline. More silent self-skipping in environments without full setup.
  3. No coverage thresholds β€” neither Jest nor Vitest config enforces a minimum; coverage can regress with no warning.
  4. handler.test.ts is misleading β€” passes, but only checks TypeScript interface shapes, not Lambda logic. False confidence on the quote automation handler.
  5. eligibility-parser.test.ts excluded β€” 18 working tests never run; one line in jest.config.js would unlock them.

Recommended next actions

4. Reliability & Incidents

Incidents (count, severity)none recorded
Postmortems pendingnone

Sentry error distillation β€” not yet wired up. Will populate top error groups, new vs recurring, volume trend once n8n pipeline lands (Steps 1–2 of dashboard automation spec).

5. Security & Compliance

Dependency vulnerabilitiese.g. 0 critical, 3 moderate
HIPAA / SOC 2 postureon track
Open compliance / audit itemsnone

Role-based access (broker / employer / tpa_user) currently has zero E2E test coverage β€” flagged in the QA report as a compliance gap. Tracking here until closed.
