ci: run the full test suite on macOS instead of two hand-picked files

[vinhnguyenthanhdn]

Summary

Run the full npm test suite in the macOS CI job instead of two hand-picked test files, so host assumptions that only hold on GNU userland stop shipping green.

Why

CONTRIBUTING.md tells contributors that npm test is the gate ("Full suite, node --test"), and the Linux job runs exactly that. The macOS job runs 2 of the 250 files in test/*.test.js (openclaw-parser, native-pet-limit-reset), so a test that quietly depends on GNU userland is green in CI and red on every Mac.

That is not hypothetical — it is what #482 fixed. test/linux-bundle.test.js landed on 2026-08-09 calling sha256sum, which macOS does not ship. npm test could not go green on macOS for 9 days and no CI leg could see it: the Linux job runs on ubuntu-latest where the command exists, and the macOS job never reached that file.

What this does

In macos-tests, replaces the two named files with the same install → build → test sequence the Linux job already uses:

• npm ci and npm ci --prefix dashboard
• npm run dashboard:build — the local-runtime install test asserts dashboard/dist/index.html exists, and a fresh checkout has none
• npm test

Both previously named files are inside test/*.test.js, so coverage is a strict superset of what the job ran before. The Xcode steps are untouched.

Cost, measured on the runner

From the CI run linked below (macos-26, Node 24), the three added steps:

Step	Time
npm ci --prefix dashboard	11s
npm run dashboard:build	8s
npm test	58s

The suite reports tests 2276 · pass 2274 · fail 0 · skipped 2.

The dashboard build is not optional padding: without it the same suite fails 4 tests on macOS — tsc validates migrated TS files, installLocalTrackerApp replaces stale installed runtime and writes a package marker, and the two Vite dev server handles … cases.

Verification

CI run of this exact commit with the upstream workflow, on a fork: https://github.com/vinhnguyenthanhdn/TokenTracker/actions/runs/32090693394

macOS unit tests green including the new Test suite on macOS step, plus test + validate + build and Windows build. Linux client (Rust) was still installing its apt dependencies on the fork runner when this was opened; that job is untouched by this change.

Checklist

• npm test passes
• New user-facing strings go through dashboard/src/content/copy.csv (no hardcoded UI text) — none in this PR
• Commits follow conventional style (feat: / fix: / refactor: / docs: / chore: / test: / ci:)
• PR description explains why, not just what

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Expanded macOS continuous integration checks to install all required dependencies, build the dashboard, and run the complete test suite.
  • Replaced targeted test execution with broader validation across the project.
