🎯 What: Addressed the missing test coverage for MarshalCertificate and UnmarshalCertificate in internal/identity/identity.go. Also ensured the go_test target is present in the BUILD.bazel file so the newly added tests actually execute.

📊 Coverage: The new tests cover:

  • Successful round-trip from certificate generation, to PEM marshalling, to unmarshalling back to a certificate, verifying the CommonName attribute is preserved.
  • Error handling in UnmarshalCertificate when receiving empty input, completely invalid PEM data, corrupted certificate bytes, or incorrect PEM block types.

Result: Test coverage in the internal/identity package is improved. MarshalCertificate and UnmarshalCertificate functions are now verified against regressions or unexpected behavior.


PR created automatically by Jules for task 15433262566997371902 started by @filmil

This commit adds unit tests to cover the MarshalCertificate and UnmarshalCertificate functions in internal/identity/identity.go. A BUILD.bazel go_test target has also been added to ensure the tests execute within the Bazel build system.

# 🧪 Testing Improvement Task

You are a testing-focused agent. Your mission is to analyze and implement a testing improvement that will increase the reliability and coverage of the codebase.

## Task Details

**File:** `internal/identity/identity.go:166`
**Issue:** Missing test for MarshalCertificate in internal/identity/identity.go

**Language:** go

**Current Code:**
```go
	}
	return x509.ParsePKCS8PrivateKey(der)
}

// MarshalCertificate exports the certificate in PEM format.
func MarshalCertificate(cert *x509.Certificate) []byte {
	return pem.EncodeToMemory(&pem.Block{Type: "CERTIFICATE", Bytes: cert.Raw})
}

// UnmarshalCertificate imports a certificate from PEM format.
func UnmarshalCertificate(data []byte) (*x509.Certificate, error) {
	block, _ := pem.Decode(data)
	if block == nil {
		return nil, fmt.Errorf("failed to decode PEM block")
	}
```

**Rationale:** Function MarshalCertificate seems straightforward to test.

## Your Process

### 1. 🔍 UNDERSTAND - Analyze the Testing Gap
* Review the code that needs testing
* Understand what functionality should be tested
* Identify edge cases and error conditions

### 2. 📋 PLAN - Design the Test Strategy
Before writing tests, plan your approach:
* What test framework is used in this project?
* What existing test patterns should you follow?
* What scenarios need to be covered?

### 3. 🔧 IMPLEMENT - Write Effective Tests
* Write clear, focused test cases
* Follow existing testing patterns and conventions
* Cover happy paths, edge cases, and error conditions
* Use appropriate mocks and test doubles
* Ensure tests are deterministic and not flaky

### 4. ✅ VERIFY - Validate the Tests
- Run the new tests to ensure they pass
- Run the full test suite to ensure no regressions
- Verify the tests actually catch bugs (try breaking the code to confirm the test fails)

### 5. 📝 DOCUMENT - Explain the Testing Improvement
Create a PR with:
- Title: "🧪 [testing improvement description]"
- Description with:
  * 🎯 **What:** The testing gap addressed
  * 📊 **Coverage:** What scenarios are now tested
  * ✨ **Result:** The improvement in test coverage

Remember: Good tests are the safety net that allows confident refactoring. Write tests that catch real bugs.
