Standards for Unit Tests, UI Tests (Compose), and Hilt Integration. Use whenever writing Android test files or asking about runTest, composeTestRule, HiltAndroidRule, MockK, MainDispatcherRule, @TestInstallIn, or how to test a ViewModel/Composable/Repository in Android. (triggers: **/*Test.kt, **/*Rule.kt, @Test, runTest, composeTestRule, HiltAndroidTest, MockK, createAndroidComposeRule, MainDispatcherRule, @TestInstallIn)

# Android Testing Standards
## **Priority: P0**
## Implementation Guidelines
### Unit Tests
- **Scope**: ViewModels, Usecases, Repositories, Utils.
- **Coroutines**: Use `runTest` (kotlinx-coroutines-test). Use `MainDispatcherRule` to mock Main dispatcher.
- **Mocking**: Use MockK.
### UI Integration Tests (Instrumentation)
- **Scope**: Composable Screens, Navigation flows.
- **Rules**: Use `createAndroidComposeRule` + Hilt (`HiltAndroidRule`).
- **Isolation**: Fake repositories in DI modules (`@TestInstallIn`).
## Anti-Patterns
- **No Real Network in Tests**: Always mock with MockK or fake repositories via @TestInstallIn.
- **No Thread.sleep**: Use IdlingResource or composeTestRule.waitUntil for async timing.
