# Legacy JavaScript chat tests

This directory contains browser smoke pages for the server-rendered chat and a
Jest/jsdom test for bidirectional history loading.

Install the static package dependencies and run the automated test with:

```bash
cd backend/static
npm install
npm test
```

The package is configured as ESM because the production chat modules use native
`import`/`export`. Jest runs in jsdom and uses Node's VM modules support.

For manual browser checks, serve the Django application and open the relevant
test page only if its URL is registered in the current branch. `runTests.html`
and `chatTestsV2.html` are harness files, not production routes.

`chatStylesAudit.js` produces timestamped JSON snapshots. Those snapshots are
diagnostic artifacts and should not be treated as normative documentation.
