Description

Use the latest edition of testthat and convert appropriate tests to snapshots. See https://github.com/stan-dev/loo/pull/289 for a similar thing in loo.

Shouldn't be that difficult, even for a new contributor. If unfamiliar with testthat, read migration post as well as testthat 3e vignette.

Research direction

Read the linked loo pull request, the testthat migration post, and the testthat 3e vignette first. Then inspect the posterior repository's tests to identify which are appropriate for conversion to snapshots. Done means the package uses the latest testthat edition and the relevant tests run successfully with updated snapshots.
