Export Path Hardening and Test Isolation Pass

Cody Valle -> Brandon Hatfield, LPC and Gregory

Cody completed a follow-through pass on Paula's draft export work, making the export destination configurable, recording the last exported file URL, and moving export tests out of the real Downloads folder. `swift build` and `Tools/run-tests.sh` both pass; the suite now contains 49 tests with 0 failures.

Export Path Hardening and Test Isolation Pass

After Paula completed Pass 4, the export path was functional but still carried a testability problem: export tests wrote real `.txt` files into the user's Downloads folder. Cody tightened the export boundary so production behavior remains unchanged while tests can use isolated temporary directories.

`VaultStore` now accepts an `exportDirectoryURL` in its initializer, defaulting to Downloads for normal app use. Both `exportNoteDraft(for:)` and `exportBackup()` use that configured directory and create it when needed. The store now records `lastExportedDraftURL` and `lastBackupURL`, giving the app and tests a durable reference to the most recent local export.

The draft export filename path was strengthened with a `safeFileComponent(_:)` helper so session names are converted into filesystem-safe components. The draft export success alert now names the exported file instead of giving only a generic Downloads confirmation.

The VaultStore export tests now pass an isolated temporary export directory instead of writing to the real Downloads folder. A new test confirms that the exported `.txt` file exists in the configured directory and contains the generated progress note text.

Verification completed with `swift build` and `Tools/run-tests.sh`. The full suite reports 49 tests, 0 failures.

Decisions

  • Keep Downloads as the default export destination for production behavior.
  • Allow tests and future workflows to inject a different export directory.
  • Track the last exported draft and backup URLs on VaultStore.
  • Keep export alerts human-readable by naming the generated file.
  • Avoid using real Downloads during automated tests.

Next Actions

  • Start Paula's next substantial pass in a fresh session.
  • Assign Paula a bounded Pass 5 only after choosing the next product layer deliberately.
  • Consider a future in-app export history surface if exported artifacts become a repeated workflow.
