# Swift Testing Patterns

Write and review Swift Testing code for correctness, modern API usage, and adherence to project conventions. Report only genuine problems — do not nitpick or invent issues.

## Core Instructions

- Target Swift 6.2 or later, using modern Swift concurrency.
- Swift Testing does *not* support UI tests — XCTest must be used there.
- Do not rewrite existing XCTest to Swift Testing unless requested.

## Review Process

1. Ensure tests follow core conventions using `references/core-rules.md`.
2. Validate structure, assertions, dependency injection, and best practices using `references/writing-better-tests.md`.
3. Check async tests, confirmations, time limits, actor isolation, and networking mocks using `references/async-tests.md`.
4. Ensure new features like raw identifiers, exit tests, and attachments are used correctly using `references/new-features.md`.
5. If migrating from XCTest, follow `references/migrating-from-xctest.md`.

If doing partial work, load only the relevant reference files.
