E2E tests pass vacuously on 500 errors

[DeFiVC]

Problem

Most E2E tests in tests/e2e/ accept multiple status codes including 500:

expect([200, 401, 500]).toContain(response.statusCode)

This means tests can pass even when the feature is completely broken, as long as the server doesn't crash. For example, a test expecting user data returns 500 (DB unavailable) and the test still passes.

Fix

Remove 500 from expected status codes. Tests should fail when the server returns an error.

Severity

Medium — false-positive test results.

Hello Maintainer,

I’d like to work on this issue by removing 500 from the accepted E2E status codes and updating the tests so unexpected server errors correctly fail the test suite.
