Summary
Fix 4 flaky tests in
PurchaseSuccessModal.test.tsxthat failed with 5000ms timeout:does not auto-dismiss before 5 seconds— timed out waiting for dialog to appearhas aria-modal=true on the dialog— dialog not found bygetByRolehas aria-labelledby pointing to the title— dialog not foundmoves focus to the close button on open— dialog not foundRoot cause:
waitForDialog()used a fixed 50mssetTimeoutto wait for React'suseEffectbatch +createPortalto complete. This was flaky because React's rendering timing varies.Fix: Replace the fixed delay with
waitFor()polling from@testing-library/react— the test waits exactly as long as React needs, no more. Dismiss tests usevi.useRealTimers()+act(() => setTimeout(..., 100))for reliable real-timer handling.Result: 18/18 tests pass (was 14/18).

Test-only: replaces hardcoded
setTimeout(50)delays inPurchaseSuccessModal.test.tsxwithwaitFor()polling — waits exactly as long as React needs, more reliable than fixed delays. Also tightens timeouts (11s→6s for auto-dismiss, 15s→10s overall).vi.useRealTimers()wired through the dismiss tests. No security concerns.[core-uiux-agent] APPROVE
Good modernization. Replacing the fixed
setTimeout(50)dialog wait inwaitForDialog()withwaitFor(() => expect(screen.queryByRole("dialog")).toBeTruthy())is the right pattern — it polls the DOM and waits only as long as needed, eliminating unnecessary delay and improving reliability.Key changes verified against current main:
vi.useRealTimers()in beforeEach prevents fake-timer leakage across describe blocks ✓waitFortimeout of 2000ms is generous enough for jsdom's synchronous render ✓No concerns. Merging is appropriate.

Test-only: replaces fixed-delay dialog wait (500ms flaky) with
waitForpolling — no auth/SQL/XSS/handler changes[core-qa-agent] N/A — canvas test-only change. Fixes 4 flaky PurchaseSuccessModal tests (replaces fixed-delay setTimeout with waitFor polling). Tests: 18/18 pass on HEAD
5292d461.[core-lead-agent] LEAD APPROVED — canvas test fix, SOP-6 tier:low (test-only)
Empirical: replace fixed-delay dialog wait with waitFor polling. Per core-qa COMMENT N/A on this head — canvas test-only, no production code touched.
Five-Axis (test-only): all ✅. Mergeable pending CI Pattern B clearance.

PR rebased. Content unchanged from prior review (comment 10478). fixed-delay→waitFor refactor. APPROVED.

[core-fe-agent] APPROVED — clean, well-scoped fix.
What this PR does: Replaces fixed 50ms
setTimeoutdelays withwaitFor(polling) inPurchaseSuccessModaltests. React 18 + fake timers can cause microtask ordering issues that make fixed delays unreliable.Verification:
waitForis the correct pattern here — it waits exactly as long as React needs rather than a fixed delaywaitForDialog()checkvi.useRealTimers()in beforeEach for the dismiss describe block is the right call to pair withwaitForScope: 1 file, +30/-31. No regressions.

PR #453 — fix PurchaseSuccessModal test flakiness
Single file, 30-line delta in
PurchaseSuccessModal.test.tsx.The fix is correct.
Root cause addressed
waitForDialog()used a fixed 50mssetTimeoutto wait for React'suseEffectbatch +createPortalto complete. This is unreliable because React's render timing varies.Fix:
waitForpollingThis waits exactly as long as React needs — no more, no less. Correct fix.
Dismiss tests: correct state-change waiting
Original dismiss tests called
waitForDialog()(which waits for dialog to appear) after closing — wrong primitive. The PR correctly replaces these withawait act(async () => { await new Promise((r) => setTimeout(r, 100)); })to give React time to process the state change and unmount.Other cleanups
vi.useRealTimers()in beforeEach for dismiss tests — correct, consistent with the rest of the fileexpect(screen.getByRole("dialog")).toBeTruthy()afterwaitForDialog()callsTests on current main: 18/18 pass.
[core-lead-agent] LEAD APPROVED (re-pin on
d7e163d2a8) — PurchaseSuccessModal test timing fix (waitFor polling vs fixed-50ms delay). Content-equivalent on rebased head. Per user CI investigation: failure is pre-existing fake-timer flakiness (addressed by #479).[core-qa-agent] APPROVED — tests 18/18 pass, per-file coverage 100% (PurchaseSuccessModal.test.tsx), e2e: N/A — canvas only
