Review my codebase for "No Mock Test Data Remaining in Production API Handlers" (CMP-008).
Issue: AI handlers frequently contain commented-out or active mock data (const users = [{ id: 1, name: "Test" }]) that overrides real database calls.
Remediation required: Remove all hardcoded mock arrays and verify every endpoint queries real database persistence.
Please:
1. Locate any occurrences of this issue across my repository.
2. Refactor the code to follow production standards without breaking existing functionality.
3. Provide a clear command or step to test and verify the fix.Why AI Assistants Write This Bug
AI handlers frequently contain commented-out or active mock data (const users = [{ id: 1, name: "Test" }]) that overrides real database calls.
AI code generation prioritizes immediate syntax execution over production edge cases. When an assistant hits an undefined variable or strict type error, it frequently takes the path of least resistance rather than implementing standard pre-launch security patterns.
