Summary

Adds comprehensive unit tests to crates/cli/src/output/theme.rs verifying that ColorPalette correctly suppresses ANSI escape codes in non-TTY environments (pipeline logs, file redirects, etc.).

Closes #423

Changes

  • Added a #[cfg(test)] module in crates/cli/src/output/theme.rs with 16 unit tests across three groups:

Non-TTY (colors disabled)

Verifies that set_color_enabled(false) causes all styling helpers to return raw, unformatted strings with zero \x1b (ANSI escape) characters:

  • error_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • warning_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • success_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • metadata_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • muted_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • accent_text_no_ansi_when_colors_disabled
  • all_methods_return_raw_string_when_colors_disabled

TTY (colors enabled)

Verifies that set_color_enabled(true) causes all styling helpers to emit ANSI codes:

  • error_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled
  • warning_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled
  • success_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled
  • metadata_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled
  • muted_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled
  • accent_text_contains_ansi_when_colors_enabled

Toggle / restore

Verifies correct behavior when toggling the flag at runtime:

  • toggling_colors_off_then_on_restores_colored_output
  • set_color_enabled_false_reflects_in_colors_enabled
  • set_color_enabled_true_reflects_in_colors_enabled

Test infrastructure

A ColorGuard helper serializes all tests via a Mutex and automatically restores the original COLOR_ENABLED flag value after each test, preventing global-state interference between parallel test runners.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added coverage for themed text styling with colors enabled and disabled.
    • Verified color settings can be toggled and accurately reported.
    • Ensured color state is safely restored during test execution.

Adds 16 unit tests in crates/cli/src/output/theme.rs verifying that:
- All ColorPalette styling methods (error_text, warning_text, success_text,
  metadata_text, muted_text, accent_text) return raw unformatted strings
  with no ANSI escape codes when set_color_enabled(false) is called.
- All methods correctly emit ANSI codes when set_color_enabled(true).
- Toggling colors off then back on fully restores colored output.
- colors_enabled() reflects the correct state after each toggle.

A ColorGuard helper serializes tests via a Mutex and restores the
original COLOR_ENABLED flag after each test to prevent global-state
interference between parallel test runners.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added synchronized unit tests for all ColorPalette styling methods. The tests verify raw output when colors are disabled, ANSI output when enabled, state restoration after toggling, and colors_enabled() behavior.

Changes

ColorPalette test coverage

Layer / File(s) Summary
Test isolation and ANSI detection
crates/cli/src/output/theme.rs
Added ColorGuard to serialize access to COLOR_ENABLED, restore its original value, and detect ANSI escape codes.
Color rendering and state tests
crates/cli/src/output/theme.rs
Added tests for all six styling methods with colors enabled and disabled. Added tests for toggling colors and verifying colors_enabled().

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3dd04

This PR adds test-only coverage for color suppression without changing production behavior. Merge readiness has a minor bounded risk because another test mutates the same process-wide color setting without sharing the new serialization guard, which could cause intermittent parallel-test failures.

Serialize all tests that access COLOR_ENABLED.

crates/cli/src/ui/markdown.rs::colors_can_be_disabled calls theme::set_color_enabled() directly and then calls render(), which reads the same global flag through styled(). Parallel tests can observe the temporary value and produce scheduling-dependent results. Move the guard to shared test support or use one crate-wide serialization mechanism.
