WalkthroughAdded contributor documentation for repeatable test-data generation, custom datasets, importer behavior, deterministic tests, snapshot review, coverage interpretation, flaky-test diagnosis, and Nock usage. Updated contributor navigation pages with links to the new test-data guide. Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The contributor documentation may direct developers to a non-executable command and provide inaccurate expectations for generated-data repeatability and coverage thresholds. These guidance issues should be corrected before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 6✅ Passed checks (6 passed)

- Around line 56-57: Update the test cleanup guidance to use nock.cleanAll() for
clearing interceptor definitions and mockManager.restore() for framework-managed
state. Reserve nock.restore() for tests that explicitly call nock.activate()
before making later requests, and retain Nock pending-mock diagnostics for unmet
expectations.

no ref Replace stale Mocha-era and aspirational testing advice with the current Vitest test layers, coverage model, mocking conventions, and practical guidance for diagnosing nondeterminism.
no ref Document the supported, repeatable data-generator workflow beside the public development setup and keep implementation constraints close to the seeders that enforce them.

docs/contributing/testing.md-74-76 (1)
74-76: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAlign the coverage description with the repository configuration.
The text claims separate thresholds for integration and server E2E lanes. The current Codecov configuration defines one
e2e-testsproject status, not separate statuses. Vitest owns the provider and exclusions, but the threshold is configured in.github/codecov.yml. Update Lines 74-76 so contributors know the correct source of truth. (raw.githubusercontent.com)As per path instructions, documentation claims must match the current repository configuration.

no ref Direct Nock interceptors and framework-managed state have different cleanup paths. Document both explicitly so tests do not accidentally disable interception for later requests.

Summary
This replaces outdated testing guidance that still referred to Mocha, an abandoned Jest migration, and obsolete data-generation commands.
