refactor(395): dedup Scripted≡YAML enumerator construction into ContentEnumeratorBuilder
Extract the byte-identical PlaybackOrder -> IMediaCollectionEnumerator switch
shared by SchedulingEngine.EnumeratorForContent (Scripted) and
EnumeratorCache.GetEnumeratorForContent (Sequential/YAML) into one static
per-family seam, mirroring #380's ShuffleSourceBuilder. Each engine keeps its own
"not supported" warning on the None branch, so the per-engine message is unchanged.
Adds ContentEnumeratorBuilderTests pinning the block-shuffle-not-classic trap and
the unsupported-order -> None (#70) contract across all 8 unsupported orders.

Corrects the testing.scripted-playout-golden-deferred decision record: Scripted's
external-process + HTTP pipeline is integration-only (deferred to #563), but the
in-process SchedulingEngine it drives IS unit-testable (ScriptedScheduleController
is a 1:1 pass-through) -- the earlier "un-golden-able by construction" framing
conflated transport with engine. docs/testing.md reframed to match.

# Testing map
Purpose: authoritative map of what each test project/suite covers and how to run it. Read this
before adding tests, not just `docs/contributing.md` §8 (which now just points here).
## Test projects
| Project | Covers | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `ErsatzTV.Tests` | API controllers + MediatR handlers | In-memory SQLite fixture: a shared `SqliteConnection("Data Source=:memory:;Foreign Keys=False")` kept open + `EnsureCreatedAsync()` (**not** full migration replay) + `PRAGMA foreign_keys=OFF`, then seed; a tiny `IDbContextFactory` wraps `new TvContext(...)`. 828 tests currently. |
| `ErsatzTV.Core.Tests` | Domain logic, scheduling, IPTV/XMLTV generation | References `ErsatzTV.Application` directly — there is no separate `Application.Tests` project. 543 tests + 1 skipped under `TZ=UTC` (the Block playout golden additionally skips under a non-UTC `TZ`; see Golden-file nets). |
| `ErsatzTV.Scanner.Tests` | Library scanning: scan handlers, folder scanners, NFO readers | Handler tests substitute the folder scanners + `ILibraryRepository` and assert the resulting repository writes (e.g. `ScanLocalLibraryHandlerTests` pins which `LastScan` levels a scan records — ersatztv#264). Fakes/`Testably` back the file-system-facing scanners. 1471 tests. Additionally contains `Core/FFmpeg/TranscodingTests``[Explicit]` + `[Combinatorial]`, so it never runs in CI or a plain `dotnet test` (it needs real ffmpeg/hardware) and contributes 0 to that count; run it by name when touching the transcoding pipeline. |
| `ErsatzTV.Architecture.Tests` | Layering rules via NetArchTest.eNhancedEdition | Core↛Infra/App/EF; FFmpeg↛all; App↛concrete providers. 5 tests. See `docs/contributing.md` §1. |
| `ErsatzTV.FFmpeg.Tests` | FFmpeg command construction | Build a pipeline, assert the exact rendered arg string (`PipelineBuilderBaseTests.cs`). |
| `web/` (vitest) | React SPA unit tests | 330 tests; run alongside typecheck + build (see below). |
## Golden-file nets
Three golden-file suites guard the highest-value, most-subtle output:
- **M3U**: `ErsatzTV.Core.Tests/Iptv/ChannelPlaylistGoldenTests.cs` (ersatztv#11) — env var `ETV_UPDATE_GOLDENS`
- **XMLTV**: `ChannelGuideGoldenTests` (ersatztv#28) — env var `ETV_UPDATE_GOLDENS`
- **Playout build**: `ErsatzTV.Core.Tests/Scheduling/Goldens/PlayoutBuildGoldenTests.cs` (ersatztv#163)
— env var **`ETV_UPDATE_PLAYOUT_GOLDENS`** (deliberately separate from `ETV_UPDATE_GOLDENS` so
regenerating one net can't silently rewrite the other). Snapshots the `PlayoutItem`s each builder
produces over a pinned build window. Covers the **Classic** (`PlaybackOrder.Chronological`),
**Block**, and **Sequential (YAML)** builders. The **Scripted** *end-to-end pipeline* is excluded from this
net — `ScriptedPlayoutBuilder` runs a user-authored external process that drives the engine over HTTP, which
the in-memory harness can't pin; that integration harness is tracked in ersatztv#563. The scheduling
*behavior* those scripts drive, though, lives in the in-process `SchedulingEngine` (the HTTP controller is a
1:1 pass-through) and IS directly testable — `SchedulingEngineTests` news it up with substitutes, and
`ContentEnumeratorBuilderTests` (ersatztv#395) is the direct regression net over the enumerator-construction
helper the Scripted and Sequential/YAML engines now share (decision:
`testing.scripted-playout-golden-deferred`). The **Sequential** case
(`Sequential_yaml`, ersatztv#381)
builds from a committed YAML fixture (`Goldens/Fixtures/sequential-schedule.yml`) instead of a
`ProgramSchedule`; it is TZ-independent (the `count`/`all`/`duration` handlers do UTC-only arithmetic —
it passes, not skips, under a non-UTC `TZ`) so needs no `Assume` guard. A third case,
`Classic_clock_padded` (ersatztv#77), locks clock-boundary padding: a `FillerMode.Pad` +
`PadToNearestMinute=15` PostRoll preset snaps content to `:15`, and the test both goldens the output and
asserts every content item after the first starts on a quarter-hour. Its EPG counterpart is
`ErsatzTV.Core.Tests/Channels/ChannelGuideProjectorClockPadTests.cs` (guide programmes stop on the padded
boundary). The build reads
no wall clock — time enters only via the caller-supplied `start` — so a pinned `start` is fully
deterministic. Snapshots the raw `PlayoutItem.Start`/`Finish` (UTC), **not** the `*Offset` properties
(those call `.ToLocalTime()` and would make the golden machine-TZ dependent). The **Block** case is
TZ-sensitive by construction (`BlockPlayoutBuilder` maps template times via `TimeZoneInfo.Local`), so
it is guarded with `Assume.That(TimeZoneInfo.Local.BaseUtcOffset == Zero)`: it runs under `TZ=UTC`
(CI) and reports **inconclusive** (a graceful skip, not a failure) under any other TZ. A real TZ seam
for the block builder is ersatztv#380's scope.
All three locate their golden files via `[CallerFilePath]`. A missing golden is a hard fail, not a
skip. Regenerate via `ETV_UPDATE_GOLDENS=1 dotnet test ...` (M3U/XMLTV) or
`ETV_UPDATE_PLAYOUT_GOLDENS=1 dotnet test ...` (playout build).
**Never set `ETV_UPDATE_GOLDENS` / `ETV_UPDATE_PLAYOUT_GOLDENS` in CI or from an agent.** A golden
diff during normal test runs means the code changed the output — regenerating to make the diff go
away hides the change instead of surfacing it. Only a human who has confirmed the change is
intentional should regenerate.
## Timezone independence
The suite is timezone-independent (ersatztv#24). When constructing test `PlayoutItem`s, always
set a real `Start` (e.g. `startState.CurrentTime.UtcDateTime`) — never rely on the default
`DateTime.MinValue`, which underflows `DateTimeOffset.MinValue` once a non-UTC local offset is
applied (`StartOffset` calls `ToLocalTime()`). CI runs in UTC; local runs may not.
## Running tests
Full .NET gate:
```bash
dotnet build ErsatzTV.sln
TZ=UTC dotnet test
```
CI adds `--blame-hang-timeout 2m` to catch hangs.
Fast subsets:
```bash
# single project
dotnet test ErsatzTV.Tests
# filtered
dotnet test ErsatzTV.Core.Tests --filter FullyQualifiedName~ChannelPlaylistGoldenTests
```
Web (`web/`):
```bash
npm test # vitest
npm run typecheck # tsc -b --pretty false
npm run lint # eslint .
npm run build # tsc -b && vite build
```
## Per-PR verification gate
Before opening a PR: build the solution, run `ErsatzTV.Tests` + `ErsatzTV.Core.Tests` (plus
`ErsatzTV.Scanner.Tests`, `ErsatzTV.Architecture.Tests` and `ErsatzTV.FFmpeg.Tests` if touched),
and run the web test/lint/typecheck/build steps above. All must be green. A golden-file diff or
an architecture-test failure is a hard stop — fix the code, don't regenerate/relax the test.
