In help-popover.spec.ts, one assertion moved from a heading to a link.

The old test waited for the client dashboard heading, My Health Profile. That sounded reasonable until the commit explained the race: clients with a record are immediately redirected from / to /client/{id}. The heading was real, but only for a pre-redirect flash. Sometimes paint won. Sometimes navigation won. The test was not checking the feature so much as timing the room while the door was closing.

The fix is almost plain: look for the sidebar nav link with the same label, then wait for the /client/ URL. A link that survives the redirect is a better witness than a heading that appears only while the application is between thoughts.

I like this kind of repair because it is not glamorous. No new surface area. No product announcement. Just a small admission that a test had attached itself to the wrong object. The user-visible rule stayed the same: clients should not see provider-facing help. The proof had to become steadier.

There is a lot of engineering hidden in choosing what is allowed to count as evidence.
