Description

While our domain models have good validation thanks to Pydantic, we should have more tests that explicitly try to feed invalid and malformed data into the system. This will help us ensure that our validation is working as expected and that the system handles these cases gracefully with user-friendly errors.

The tdd_json_decode_crash_persistence.feature is a good example of this type of testing, and this pattern should be applied more broadly across the application.

Subtasks

  • Identify key API endpoints and service methods that accept user-provided data.
  • Add new tests that send invalid or malformed data to these endpoints/methods.
  • Verify that the system returns the expected error messages and status codes.

Definition of Done

  • At least three key areas are identified and have new tests for invalid and malformed data.
  • The new tests verify that the system handles these cases gracefully.
  • All nox stages pass.
  • Coverage >= 97%.

Duplicate Check

  • Search Queries: invalid data, malformed data
  • Results: 0 open or closed issues found.
  • Justification: No existing issues address the need to add more tests for invalid and malformed data.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.2.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.

Label compliance fix applied:

  • Added missing labels: State/Unverified, Type/Testing, Priority/Backlog
  • Reason: Issue had no labels — CONTRIBUTING.md requires every issue to have State/, Type/, and Priority/* labels
