Description
Issue
Tests here are mocked, as no Parse Server instance is running to test against it. This is not optimal:
- requires more effort to write tests
- mocked server behavior may be inaccurate / outdated
- CI does not run against specific version of Parse Server
Suggested Solution
- Set up CI to spin up a Parse Server instance for the current version of Parse Server plus the LTS version.
- Add server test logic to test setup (data cleaning between tests, etc).
- Add Parse Server compatibility matrix to README.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the repository's CI configuration and the referenced .github/workflows/ci.yml example, then inspect the existing mocked test setup. The work is done when CI tests against current and LTS Parse Server versions, test data is cleaned between runs, and the compatibility matrix is documented in README.
