Description

Though the project has some tests, it is essentially just one monolithic integration test. We need more fine-grained unit tests to be able to more easily diagnose issues as they arise, and to increase the possibility of catching breakages.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing monolithic integration test and reviewing how it currently exercises the project. Identify the main units that need isolated coverage, then add fine-grained unit tests so failures are easier to diagnose and breakages are more likely to be caught.
