Summary
The price chart on
/tradeand/chartsuses TradingView lightweight-charts v5 (open-source canvas library — not the hosted TradingView widget). Node-based Vitest runs under jsdom with a global module stub (lightweightChartsJsdomMock.ts) because jsdom lacks a real Canvas/layout stack. Component tests assert integration wiring (createChartcall count,setDatapayloads, indicatoraddSeries/removeSeries) but do not exercise the real library. Chart rendering, autoscale behavior, pane layout, resize, and crosshair interactions are deferred to manual QA and sparse Playwright coverage (layout/outage only). This issue tracks closing that gap with full chart testing in Vitest while keeping CI fast and deterministic.Current codebase

See docs/frontend.md § Trade page — price chart invariants (#113, #148, #149, #150, #151).
Why this is needed
autoscaleInfoProvider, multi-pane heights,applyOptionsafter resize, or asynccreateChartraces may pass stub tests because the mock never invokes real scale logic or canvas lifecycle.subscribeVisibleLogicalRangeChange, custom formatters, etc.) can ship in production while the mock stays incomplete — tests green, browser broken.Constraints and guardrails
npm run testinfrontend-dappmust stay fast; any real-library suite should be opt-in (separate Vitest project/config ordescribe.runIf) unless proven stable in jsdom/happy-dom + canvas shim.priceChartPriceScale, indicators, candle mapping without importing the library.ChartsPage.integration.test.tsx/make test-charts-integrationvalidate HTTP + React data flow; chart pixel/render tests are a separate concern — do not require Postgres for canvas tests.test.skipwithout a linked follow-up.dangerouslySetInnerHTMLindexer fields; malformed OHLC should not throw uncaught and take down the trade workspace (see attack vectors below).Recommended direction
Evaluate and implement one primary strategy (document choice in PR +
docs/testing.md):Option A — Real
lightweight-chartsin Vitest with Canvas shim (preferred if stable)@vitest/browser+vitest-canvas-mock/canvas(or run chart specs inhappy-domwith canvas polyfill) in a dedicated project, e.g.vitest.config.charts.ts.lightweightChartsJsdomMock.tsfor that project.PriceChartLightweightCanvas(or thin wrapper) with fixture candle arrays; assert:rAFsizing (#151)PriceChart.test.tsxfor fast React/indexer behavior OR migrate assertions that require real library to the new project.Option B — Enriched contract test double (incremental, lower risk)
lightweightChartsJsdomMock.tsto recordapplyOptions,autoscaleInfoProviderinvocations, pane indices, andremovePane(2)for RSI.PriceChartLightweightCanvas.test.tsxthat drives effects without real canvas but verifies exact option objects passed tocreateChart/addSeries.Option C — Vitest browser mode / Playwright component tests
*.chart.spec.tsxslice; align with existingplaywright.config.tsworkers (5 workers per repo rule).Deliverable: At minimum, chart behavior covered by tests that import the real
lightweight-chartsmodule for: init,setDataon interval change, indicator pane add/remove, and autoscale clamp path. Update stub policy docs when done.Relevant files (implementation touch list)
