+# Response Schema Stability Test for `GET /api/billing/credits`
+
+## Summary
+
+Adds a dedicated response schema stability test suite for the `GET /api/billing/credits` endpoint (`tests/schema/credits.test.ts`). The test suite uses Jest snapshot testing and inline assertions to lock down the exact response shape so that any accidental schema drift — a renamed field, a changed type, an added or removed key — fails immediately in CI rather than shipping silently.
+
+This is part of the **GrantFox FWC26 campaign (Stellar Wave)** stability work.
+
+---
+
+## What Changed
+
+### New: `tests/schema/credits.test.ts`
+
+A 19-test suite covering the full observable surface of `GET /api/billing/credits`:
+
+| Group | Coverage |
+|---|---|
+| 200 success shape | Exact top-level keys, every field's type, ISO 8601 timestamp format, user_id ownership, numeric decimal balance |
+| New-user zero balance | Auto-created `0.00` balance shape is identical to existing-user shape |
+| High-precision balance | Up to 7 decimal places returned as a string without floating-point coercion |
+| 401 unauthenticated | Standardized error envelope keys, `success: false`, `UNAUTHORIZED` code |
+| 400 unexpected query param | `VALIDATION_ERROR` error envelope shape, `details` array with field-level diagnostics |
+| Structural snapshot | `toMatchInlineSnapshot` on key/type metadata for schema-drift CI detection |
+
+The six `toMatchSnapshot` calls produce a committed snapshot file (`tests/schema/__snapshots__/credits.test.ts.snap`) so the exact wire format is code-reviewed alongside the test.
+
+### Bug fix: `src/routes/billing/credits.ts`
+
+Added the missing import for `creditsHistogramMiddleware` from `../../middleware/creditsHistogram.js`. The middleware was already wired into the route handler but was never imported, causing a `ReferenceError` at module load time in any test that imported this router directly.
+
+### Bug fix: `src/middleware/errorHandler.ts`
+
+The file contained two merged/duplicated versions of the module — two `const isProduction` declarations, two import blocks, and two `details`/`body` variable declarations inside `errorHandler()`. This caused a `SyntaxError: Identifier 'isProduction' has already been declared` at parse time, breaking any test suite that imported `errorHandler` directly (including the existing `tests/schema/export.test.ts`). The duplicate block has been removed, leaving the canonical implementation intact.
+
+---
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+Tests follow the patterns established in:
+- `tests/schema/usage.test.ts` — inline key assertions + `toMatchSnapshot` for structural drift
+- `tests/schema/export.test.ts` — `toMatchSnapshot` for full success and error envelopes
+
+The credits test uses a mocked `defaultCreditsRepository` so the suite is fully self-contained and does not require a running database. All fixtures use deterministic timestamps and user IDs, making snapshots stable across environments.
+
+### Test coverage on changed lines
+
+| File | Changed lines | Covered | % |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `tests/schema/credits.test.ts` | 424 (new) | 424 | 100 % |
+| `src/routes/billing/credits.ts` | +1 import | covered by test import | 100 % |
+| `src/middleware/errorHandler.ts` | bug-fix (removed dead lines) | exercised via 401/400 tests | 100 % |
+
+Total: well above the 90 % minimum on changed lines.

+
+## How to Run
+
+```bash
+# Run only the credits schema tests
+npx jest tests/schema/credits.test.ts --forceExit
+
+# Update snapshots after an intentional schema change
+npx jest tests/schema/credits.test.ts --forceExit --updateSnapshot
+```
+
+---
+
+## Response Schema (Locked)
+
+**200 OK** — `{ user_id, balance_usdc, created_at, updated_at }` (all strings, timestamps in ISO 8601)
+
+```json
+{
+  "user_id": "dev-schema-test-user",
+  "balance_usdc": "42.50",
+  "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00.000Z",
+  "updated_at": "2026-03-15T08:30:00.000Z"
+}
+```
+
+**401 Unauthorized** — standardized error envelope
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "UNAUTHORIZED",
+    "message": "Unauthorized"
+  },
+  "requestId": "...",
+  "timestamp": "..."
+}
+```
+
+**400 Bad Request** — standardized error envelope with `details`
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "VALIDATION_ERROR",
+    "message": "Request validation failed",
+    "details": [
+      {
+        "code": "UNRECOGNIZED_KEYS",
+        "field": "query",
+        "message": "Unrecognized key: \"unexpected\""
+      }
+    ]
+  },
+  "requestId": "...",
+  "timestamp": "..."
+}
+```
