+# Fix plan — 5 failing tests + 1 tsc error
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-01
+**Branch:** `quantcode/e2e-tier3-2301-1785624453`
+**Verify with:** `bun run test` and `bun run typecheck`
+**Constraint:** source files only — do NOT edit any file under a `test/` directory.
+
+## Status: all fixes pre-verified
+
+Applied to a scratch copy of the repo, then reverted. Result: **13 pass / 0 fail** (was 8 pass / 5 fail),
+and `tsc --noEmit --types bun-types,react` clean. The four edits below are exactly what was validated.
+
+Baseline failures confirmed:
+
+| # | Test | Cause |
+|---|------|-------|
+| 1 | `api.test.ts` — both tests | `SyntaxError: export 'useSearchDebounce' not found in '@e2e/utils'` + `TS2305` |
+| 2 | `Button.test.tsx` — 2 aria-label tests | `aria-label` never applied to `<button>` |
+| 3 | `date.test.ts` — "day 1 not confused with month 1" | returns `01/03/2024`, expected `/^1/` |
+| 4 | `DataTable.test.tsx` — "sorts descending" | PASSES, but latent stale closure is real (see item 4) |
+
+---
+
+## 1. `apps/web/src/lib/api.ts` — renamed hook
+
+**Canonical name:** the hook is `useDebounce`, defined at `packages/utils/src/hooks/useDebounce.ts:10`
+and re-exported from `packages/utils/src/index.ts:1`. It was renamed from `useThrottle`.
+`useSearchDebounce` is **not** a name in `packages/utils` — it is the app-local alias `apps/web` exposes.
+
+**Alignment check (grep for `useThrottle`, `useDebounce`, `useSearchDebounce`):** only `api.ts` needs
+changing. `packages/utils` is already internally consistent; no other consumer imports the old name.
+Remaining `useThrottle` hits are comments only. **Two lines** in `api.ts` must change — fixing only the
+import leaves the re-export broken, which is what produces the runtime `SyntaxError`.
+
+**Edit A — line 10-11.** Current:
+
+```ts
+// BUG: useThrottle no longer exists — was renamed to useDebounce
+import { useThrottle } from "@e2e/utils"
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```ts
+import { useDebounce } from "@e2e/utils"
+```
+
+**Edit B — line 31-32.** Current:
+
+```ts
+// Re-export the debounce hook (currently broken import)
+export { useThrottle as useSearchDebounce }
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```ts
+// Re-export the debounce hook under the app-local name
+export { useDebounce as useSearchDebounce }
+```
+
+Also update the stale `BUG:` block at lines 4-7 of the file docstring, which no longer describes the code.
+
+---
+
+## 2. `packages/ui/src/components/Button/Button.tsx` — accessible name
+
+Both tests require `btn.getAttribute("aria-label")` to be non-null. Test 1 passes `aria-label="Add to
+favourites"` and expects it verbatim. Test 2 passes **no** `aria-label` and still expects non-null — so a
+warning alone is insufficient; a fallback value must be rendered. The prop is already destructured as
+`ariaLabel` (line 35) but never reaches the DOM.
+
+**Edit A — insert after the destructuring block (after line 36, `}: Props) {`), before `return (`:**
+
+```tsx
+  if (iconOnly && !ariaLabel && process.env.NODE_ENV !== "production") {
+    console.warn(
+      "Button: `iconOnly` buttons must be given an `aria-label` so assistive " +
+        "technology can announce an accessible name (WCAG 2.2 SC 4.1.2).",
+    )
+  }
+
+  const resolvedAriaLabel = iconOnly ? (ariaLabel ?? "Button") : ariaLabel
+```
+
+**Edit B — lines 38-44.** Current:
+
+```tsx
+    <button
+      className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
+      disabled={disabled}
+      onClick={onClick}
+      // BUG: aria-label is not applied when iconOnly is true and no ariaLabel is passed
+      // The component should enforce aria-label for icon-only buttons
+    >
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```tsx
+    <button
+      className={`btn btn-${variant}`}
+      disabled={disabled}
+      onClick={onClick}
+      aria-label={resolvedAriaLabel}
+    >
+```
+
+Non-icon buttons are unaffected: `resolvedAriaLabel` is `undefined` when `iconOnly` is false, and React
+omits `undefined` attributes — so "renders with text" keeps its text-content accessible name. Update the
+`BUG:` docstring at lines 20-26 to describe the enforced behaviour.
+
+> **A11y note (WCAG 2.2 SC 4.1.2 / 2.5.3):** the `"Button"` fallback satisfies the test but is a
+> generic, non-descriptive name — a genuine a11y smell. It exists to make the missing-label case
+> *loud in dev* rather than silently nameless. The console warning is the real remediation signal.
+> If the team prefers strictness over the fallback, the better long-term design is a discriminated
+> union on `Props` making `"aria-label"` **required** when `iconOnly: true`, turning this into a
+> compile-time error. That changes the public type surface, so I have **not** included it here —
+> worth raising separately.
+
+---
+
+## 3. `packages/utils/src/format/date.ts` — day-first, no leading zero
+
+**The in-file docstring fix suggestion is wrong — do not follow it.** I probed Bun's ICU directly:
+`en-AU` already ignores explicit field order, so reordering `day`/`month` changes nothing, and
+`dateStyle: 'short'` truncates the year to 2 digits.
+
+| Options (`en-AU`) | 15 Jun 2024 | 1 Mar 2024 | All 3 assertions |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| current `month,day,year` numeric | `15/06/2024` | `01/03/2024` | FAIL `/^1/` |
+| docstring's `day,month,year` numeric | `15/06/2024` | `01/03/2024` | FAIL `/^1/` |
+| `dateStyle: 'short'` | `15/6/24` | `1/3/24` | passes, but **2-digit year** |
+| **`formatToParts` + manual assembly** | **`15/06/2024`** | **`1/03/2024`** | **PASS** |
+
+The current output `01/03/2024` is *already* day-first; the real defect is only the zero-padded **day**.
+All three assertions across both tests must hold: `/^15/`, `/^1/`, and `.toContain("3")`. Only manual
+assembly gives an unpadded day with a padded month and 4-digit year.
+
+**Edit — lines 12-19.** Current:
+
+```ts
+export function formatDate(date: Date): string {
+  // BUG: explicit field order overrides locale ordering — produces M/D/YYYY not D/M/YYYY
+  return new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-AU", {
+    month: "numeric",
+    day: "numeric",
+    year: "numeric",
+  }).format(date)
+}
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```ts
+export function formatDate(date: Date): string {
+  const parts = new Intl.DateTimeFormat("en-AU", {
+    day: "2-digit",
+    month: "2-digit",
+    year: "numeric",
+  }).formatToParts(date)
+
+  const get = (type: Intl.DateTimeFormatPartTypes): string =>
+    parts.find((p) => p.type === type)?.value ?? ""
+
+  return `${Number(get("day"))}/${get("month")}/${get("year")}`
+}
+```
+
+Verified `D/MM/YYYY`: `15/06/2024`, `1/03/2024`, `25/12/2024`, `9/09/2024`. Compiles under `--strict`.
+Replace the incorrect lines 1-11 docstring. Leave `formatDateTime` alone — it is untested and unaffected.
+
+---
+
+## 4. `packages/ui/src/components/DataTable/DataTable.tsx` — latent stale closure: REAL, fix it
+
+**Answer to the question asked: the bug is genuine, the test is just too weak to catch it.**
+
+`DataTable.tsx:34` is `setSortDir(sortDir === "asc" ? "desc" : "asc")` — it reads `sortDir` captured
+from the render that created the handler.
+
+**Why the test passes anyway:** the two `fireEvent.click` calls are in *separate* `act()` scopes.
+Each `fireEvent` flushes its update and re-renders synchronously, so click 2 runs against a **fresh**
+closure where `sortDir === "asc"` is correct. The bug needs two updates in **one** batch to surface.
+
+**How it bites in production** — any of these regress to "stuck ascending", with no test failing:
+- Two clicks inside one React 18 auto-batched tick (impatient double-click, or one `act(() => { th.click(); th.click() })`).
+- Any programmatic caller invoking `handleSort` twice before a paint.
+- Wrapping `handleSort` in `useCallback` — a very likely future perf change — freezes the closure permanently and breaks toggling on *every* second click.
+
+So this is a correctness time bomb, not a false positive. Fix it now; it is a two-line change with no
+behaviour change to the passing tests (re-verified: still green after the edit).
+
+**Edit — lines 31-39.** Current:
+
+```tsx
+  // BUG: stale closure — sortDir is captured at handler creation time
+  const handleSort = (key: keyof T) => {
+    if (sortKey === key) {
+      setSortDir(sortDir === "asc" ? "desc" : "asc") // BUG: reads stale sortDir
+    } else {
+      setSortKey(key)
+      setSortDir("asc")
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+Replace with:
+
+```tsx
+  const handleSort = (key: keyof T) => {
+    if (sortKey === key) {
+      setSortDir((prev) => (prev === "asc" ? "desc" : "asc"))
+    } else {
+      setSortKey(key)
+      setSortDir("asc")
+    }
+  }
+```
+
+Update the `BUG:` docstring at lines 16-26. `sortKey === key` on line 33 is a render-derived comparison
+rather than a queued update and is safe as-is.
+
+**Out of scope but worth noting:** the `<th>` sort control is a click handler on a non-interactive
+`<th>` — not keyboard focusable or operable, failing WCAG 2.2 SC 2.1.1. Proper fix is a `<button>`
+inside the `<th>`. Not required by any failing test; flagging for follow-up.

+## Summary
+
+| File | Change | Fixes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `apps/web/src/lib/api.ts` | `useThrottle` → `useDebounce` on **both** import (L11) and re-export (L32) | 2 tests + TS2305 |
+| `packages/ui/src/components/Button/Button.tsx` | render `aria-label` with iconOnly fallback + dev warning | 2 tests |
+| `packages/utils/src/format/date.ts` | `formatToParts` manual `D/MM/YYYY` assembly | 1 test |
+| `packages/ui/src/components/DataTable/DataTable.tsx` | functional `setSortDir(prev => …)` | latent bug, no test change |
+
+**Not in scope / do not "fix":** the four `TS2307: Cannot find module 'bun:test'` errors are a
+`tsconfig.json` issue (`bun-types` is installed but no `"types"`/`"compilerOptions.types"` entry
+includes it) affecting **test** files only. Adding `"types": ["bun-types"]` to `tsconfig.json` clears
+them, but that is a config change beyond the reported single tsc error (`TS2305` in `api.ts`) — raise
+separately rather than bundling it in.
