# Console controller

## Verification Boundary

The browser drives the console against response fixtures. These checks establish client behavior for the supplied responses.

## What This Suite Proves

The file asserts the visible outcomes of its controller checks. Acceptance bindings below name only corresponding specification examples; other assertions remain executable engineering evidence.

## What It Does Not Prove

Mock responses do not establish backend authorization, persistence or integration compatibility.

## Real Dependencies and Test Doubles

The console and browser execute while the mock handlers or route interception supply application responses. The assertions therefore apply to client handling of those supplied shapes.

## Must Not Be Doubled

Keep the client components, event handling and rendered output under test. A substituted backend response remains a fixture rather than proof that the real operation implements that response.
