Original recommendation

P3 — Add a smoke check to docs/smoke-checklist.md that exercises the next-task end-to-end happy path and an idle path (mirroring the existing health/automation/sync checks).

Matched top finding

The new next-task test file has 9 cases focused on happy-path task shaping, but no contract test for:

• the idle task shape returned when neither queue nor PR-fix has work
• the mode=groom groom-task-shape
• the ?includeClaimed=true / ?includeRenovate=true query parameter handling

The tasks/report test file is similarly happy-path only (12 cases, no auth, no persistence).

Evidence:

• wc -l src/app/api/agents/[agentName]/next-task/route.test.ts → not super high; count of it( cases: 9.
• wc -l src/app/api/agents/[agentName]/tasks/report/route.test.ts → 12 cases, all validation only.
