These deterministic failures lived in the non-blocking full-suite lane
(App.test.tsx + three API-backfill route tests + one modal test), so the
merge gate never surfaced them. All are stale tests trailing intentional
product changes — fixes are test-only; no product code and no appeasement
(no widened timeouts, no skips, no weakened assertions).
App.test.tsx (26): sidebar-destination tests (view switching, chat unread,
GitHub import, board branch filters) never opted into leftSidebarNav:true,
so with the shared defaultSettings keeping it false (to preserve legacy
header-nav tests) the sidebar never rendered. Enable leftSidebarNav per
sidebar describe/test. The backend-unreachable recovery test asserted a
setup wizard that intentionally no longer auto-opens on zero projects
(useViewState FNXC:Onboarding 2026-06-22-05:06) with modelOnboardingComplete
true — assert recovery to the dashboard shell instead.
board-workflows-route + promote-route: the workflowColumns flag graduated to
always-on (isWorkflowColumnsEnabled returns true; stale persisted false is
treated as enabled), retiring the flag-OFF 400/empty-shape branches. Update
both "flag OFF" tests to assert the graduation invariant.
register-command-center-routes.auth: the /command-center/tokens handler now
reads modelPricingOverrides via getGlobalSettingsStore(); MockStore lacked it,
yielding a 500. Add the stub.
PlanningModeModal.initial: the shared .spin loader keyframe was renamed
spin -> fusion-spinner-spin for collision-proofing; update the CSS regex.
