Parker Brown 496a7ac4eb test: migrate from AVA to Node.js native test runner (#346)
AVA stores snapshots in a binary format (`.snap`), which produces no
meaningful diffs and bloats Git history. This replaces AVA with the
built-in `node:test` module, whose snapshot support generates
human-readable text files that are easy to diff and review in pull
requests.

The migration also replaces `@sinonjs/fake-timers` and `execa` with
Node.js built-ins (`node:test` mock timers and `node:child_process`),
removing three dev dependencies total.

- **`tests/index.js`**: Rewritten to use `node:test` with a custom
snapshot serializer that renders strings with actual newlines. Uses
subtests for labeled `stderr`/`stdout` snapshots, and only snapshots
non-empty output.
- **`tests/main-repo-skew.test.js`**: Replace `@sinonjs/fake-timers`
with `mock.timers.enable()` from `node:test`.
- **`tests/README.md`**: Updated documentation to reflect `node --test`
and the new snapshot file.
- **`package.json`**: Remove `ava`, `@sinonjs/fake-timers`, and `execa`
from devDependencies. Update test script to `c8 --100 node --test
tests/index.js`.
- **`tests/index.js.snapshot`**: New text-based snapshot file replacing
binary `tests/snapshots/index.js.snap`.
- **`tests/snapshots/`**: Deleted.

All 22 test scenarios (66 subtests) pass with 100% code coverage.

Closes #344

Tests

Add one test file per scenario. You can run them in isolation with:

node tests/post-token-set.test.js

All tests are run together in tests/index.js, which can be executed with Node's built-in test runner

node --test tests/index.js

or with npm

npm test

How the tests work

The output from the tests is captured into a snapshot (tests/index.js.snapshot). It includes all requests sent by our scripts to verify it's working correctly and to prevent regressions.

To update snapshots after an intentional change:

node --test --test-update-snapshots tests/index.js

How to add a new test

We have tests both for the main.js and post.js scripts.
