Copy template

Write unit tests for this code using [pytest / vitest / jest]:

```
[PASTE CODE]
```

Requirements:
- Cover the happy path, edge cases (empty, zero, negative, very large, unicode), and error cases.
- One behavior per test. Test names describe the behavior, e.g. test_returns_empty_list_when_no_matches.
- Mock only external I/O (network, disk, time). Do not mock the code under test.
- After the tests, list any behavior that seems like a bug or is ambiguous.

FAQ

What framework should I pick?

Use whatever your project already uses. pytest for Python, vitest for Vite projects.

Why list ambiguous behavior?

Writing tests often exposes bugs; this makes the AI tell you instead of hiding them.
