Daily Test Coverage Improver - Console Render Formatting Functions

This PR adds comprehensive unit tests for previously untested edge cases in pkg/console/render.go.

Summary of Changes

Added pkg/console/render_formatting_test.go with 81 test cases covering:

formatFieldValue() Tests

• Pointer handling: nil pointers, single pointers, double pointers
• Numeric types: All variants (int8-64, uint8-64, float32-64) including zero values
• time.Time formatting: Valid times and zero times
• Unexported fields: Safe handling when CanInterface() is false
• Bool types: true/false handling
• Invalid values: Invalid reflect.Value handling

formatFieldValueWithTag() Tests

• Number format: Small numbers, k suffix (1k, 1.5k), M suffix (1.00M, 5.00M)
• Cost format: Currency formatting with $ prefix for float32/float64
• Filesize format: Bytes, KB, MB, GB formatting
• Default values: Using defaultVal tag for zero values
• Empty value handling: Proper "-" return for empty strings
• No format: Fallback to base formatFieldValue behavior

Problems Found

During coverage analysis, I identified two helper functions in pkg/console/render.go with very low test coverage:

• formatFieldValue() - 27.8% coverage
• formatFieldValueWithTag() - 31.7% coverage

These functions handle complex edge cases for:

• Reflection-based type handling
• Pointer dereferencing
• Unexported field access
• Multiple numeric type conversions
• Special formatting (number, cost, filesize)

Many edge cases were completely untested, creating risk for runtime panics or incorrect output.

Actions Taken

Created comprehensive unit tests covering:

1. 81 test cases across 11 test functions
2. Edge case coverage: nil pointers, zero values, unexported fields, invalid values
3. Type coverage: All numeric types, time.Time, bool, string, pointers
4. Format tag coverage: number, cost, filesize, default value handling

All tests follow Go testing best practices:

• Table-driven test design
• Clear test names describing scenarios
• Subtests for better organization and failure reporting
• Focused assertions on specific behaviors

Test Coverage Results

Metric	Before	After	Change
Overall Coverage	65.7%	65.9%	+0.2%
formatFieldValue()	27.8%	58.3%	+30.5%
formatFieldValueWithTag()	31.7%	68.3%	+36.6%
pkg/console package	56.8%	78.2%	+21.4%

Replicating the Test Coverage Measurements

# Before measurements (baseline)
cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw
git checkout main
go test -coverprofile=coverage-before.out -covermode=atomic ./...
go tool cover -func=coverage-before.out | tail -1
# Output: total: (statements) 65.7%
go tool cover -func=coverage-before.out | grep "console/render.go" | grep "formatFieldValue"
# Output:
#   formatFieldValue                 27.8%
#   formatFieldValueWithTag          31.7%

# After measurements (this PR)
git checkout test-coverage-console-render-1761618916
go test -coverprofile=coverage-after.out -covermode=atomic ./...
go tool cover -func=coverage-after.out | tail -1
# Output: total: (statements) 65.9%
go tool cover -func=coverage-after.out | grep "console/render.go" | grep "formatFieldValue"
# Output:
#   formatFieldValue                 58.3%
#   formatFieldValueWithTag          68.3%

# Run specific new tests
go test -v -run "TestFormatFieldValue|TestFormatFieldValueWithTag" ./pkg/console/
# All 81 test cases pass

Possible Other Areas for Future Improvement

Based on coverage analysis, here are high-value targets for future test additions:

Console Package (current focus):

1. pkg/console/render.go:renderOverview() - 0% coverage - Console rendering
2. pkg/console/render.go:renderMetrics() - 0% coverage - Metrics rendering
3. pkg/console/render.go:renderJobsTable() - 0% coverage - Table rendering

CLI Package (low-hanging fruit):
4. pkg/cli/ci.go:IsRunningInCI() - 0% coverage - Simple environment check
5. pkg/cli/audit_report.go:renderOverview() - 0% coverage - Report rendering
6. pkg/cli/audit_report.go:extractDownloadedFiles() - 27.8% coverage - File extraction

Workflow Package:
7. pkg/workflow/validation.go:collectPackagesFromWorkflow() - 29.7% coverage
8. pkg/cli/logs.go:downloadRunArtifacts() - 33.3% coverage

Verification

All tests run successfully:

cd /home/runner/work/gh-aw/gh-aw
make test-unit
# All tests pass including 81 new test cases
make fmt
# No formatting changes needed
