  Vitest API and config reference (Jest-compatible) — mocking with vi.*, spies,
  fake timers, coverage configuration, fixtures, snapshots, and test filtering.
  Use for Vitest API and configuration questions anywhere in the monorepo; for
  Studio-specific test strategy and component-test setup, start with

Vitest is a next-generation testing framework powered by Vite. It provides a Jest-compatible API with native ESM, TypeScript, and JSX support out of the box. Vitest shares the same config, transformers, resolvers, and plugins with your Vite app.

**Key Features:**

- Vite-native: Uses Vite's transformation pipeline for fast HMR-like test updates
- Jest-compatible: Drop-in replacement for most Jest test suites
- Smart watch mode: Only reruns affected tests based on module graph
- Native ESM, TypeScript, JSX support without configuration
- Multi-threaded workers for parallel test execution
- Built-in coverage via V8 or Istanbul
- Snapshot testing, mocking, and spy utilities

> The skill is based on Vitest 3.x, generated at 2026-01-28.
