[github-actions]

Test Improvements: handler_test.go

File Analyzed

• Test File: internal/proxy/handler_test.go
• Package: internal/proxy
• Lines Added: +80 lines (3 new tests + 1 helper type)

Improvements Made

1. Increased Coverage

Three previously uncovered code paths in handler.go are now exercised:

Function	Before	After
handleUnrecognizedPassthrough	0%	100%
forwardAndReadBody	partial	100%
handleWithDIFC	~86%	95.1%
Package total	91.4%	92.2%

2. New Tests Added

TestForwardAndReadBody_BodyReadError

• Covers lines 432–435 of handler.go: the io.ReadAll error path inside forwardAndReadBody
• Uses a new bodyErrorTransport (custom http.RoundTripper) that returns a valid HTTP response whose body is an io.Pipe immediately closed with an error
• Verifies the handler writes a 502 bad_gateway / "failed to read upstream response" JSON error

TestHandleUnrecognizedPassthrough_UpstreamFails

• Covers lines 147–149 of handler.go: the if resp == nil { return } early exit in handleUnrecognizedPassthrough
• Points the proxy at (127.0.0.1/redacted) (unreachable) with an unrecognized path /v1/unknown/endpoint`
• Verifies the handler writes a 502 error and returns without panicking on nil response

TestHandleWithDIFC_RateLimitDetected

• Covers lines 230–237 of handler.go: the rate-limit span annotation block inside handleWithDIFC
• Upstream returns 429 Too Many Requests with X-Ratelimit-Remaining: 0 and a valid X-Ratelimit-Reset Unix timestamp
• Exercises both the outer rateLimited branch and the inner !resetAt.IsZero() branch
• Verifies the 429 is passed through and Retry-After is injected by writeResponse

3. Helper Type Added

bodyErrorTransport — a minimal http.RoundTripper that synthesises a response with a failing body reader (via io.Pipe). Clean, no network I/O required, no TCP hijacking.

Test Execution

ok  github.com/github/gh-aw-mcpg/internal/proxy  0.088s  coverage: 92.5% of statements

All 160+ tests across all packages pass.

Why These Changes?

handler.go had three distinct code paths that were entirely untested:

1. The body-read failure in forwardAndReadBody — requires a transport-level mock since httptest.Server bodies never fail
2. The nil-response early return in handleUnrecognizedPassthrough — requires an unreachable upstream for a non-DIFC path
3. The rate-limit tracing annotations in handleWithDIFC — requires a 429 response through the full DIFC pipeline

All three paths are now covered, and the tests are self-contained, fast, and deterministic.

Pull request overview

This PR improves unit test coverage for internal/proxy/handler.go by adding targeted tests that exercise previously-uncovered error and rate-limit branches in the proxy handler implementation.

Changes:

• Added a bodyErrorTransport http.RoundTripper to simulate an upstream response whose body fails during io.ReadAll.
• Added a test for forwardAndReadBody’s body-read error path and a test for DIFC rate-limit detection behavior.
• Added a test intended to cover the resp == nil early return in handleUnrecognizedPassthrough when upstream forwarding fails.

Done. The test now creates a real httptest.Server, records its URL, closes it immediately, and passes that closed URL as the upstream — ensuring the dial always fails deterministically. Commit 96edd30 has the change; all three new tests pass.
