Skeleton commit for the subdirectory deployment refactor. Adds the test framework and one example test per layer; the helpers themselves are stubbed so the suite is meaningfully red until the green commit lands. Frameworks - spec/helpers/withApplicationRoot.ts: fixture that rewrites #app data and resets the module cache so getBootstrapData() returns the requested application root inside the callback. Replaces the inline ritual that pathUtils.test.ts currently repeats per test. - spec/helpers/sourceTreeScanner.ts: line-by-line regex scanner over the source tree with allow-list support. Backs the static-invariant tests in Layer 2 with workspace-relative file:line locations on failure. Stubs - src/utils/navigationUtils.ts: openInNewTab, redirect, redirectReplace, getShareableUrl, AppLink. Each throws a "not implemented" error with a doc comment describing the channel rule it enforces. Existing navigateTo / navigateWithState are kept untouched and called out as legacy multi-mode helpers scheduled for replacement. - packages/superset-ui-core/src/connection/normalizeBackendUrls.ts: conservative URL field normaliser. Ships the curated NORMALIZED_URL_FIELDS set (initially empty pending per-endpoint audit) and a documented NORMALIZER_EXCLUSIONS list explaining why bug_report_url, thumbnail_url, user_login_url, etc. are deliberately not normalised. Layered tests (one example each; full suite expands per layer in subsequent commits on this PR) - Layer 1 unit: navigationUtils.test.ts exercises openInNewTab under empty / single / nested application roots, plus absolute-URL and mailto passthrough. Red until the helper is implemented. - Layer 2 invariant: navigationUtils.invariants.test.ts asserts that ensureAppRoot / makeUrl are not imported outside navigationUtils.ts. Allow-list seeded with the 19 current call sites so the test is GREEN on day one; migration commits delete entries from the list. - Layer 3 normaliser: normalizeBackendUrls.test.ts pairs a positive strip case with negative passthrough cases (non-allow-listed field, absolute URL, similar-but-different prefix segment, empty root). Red until the normaliser is implemented. - Layer 4 contract: SupersetClientAppRootContract.test.ts pins the channel-2 invariant (root applied exactly once, never doubled). Documents the double-prefix symptom in a regression assertion. - Layer 5 regression: SliceHeaderControls.subdirectory.test.tsx asserts Cmd-click "Edit chart" opens a prefixed URL when the app is deployed under a subdirectory. Red until index.tsx:266 is migrated to openInNewTab. Strategy: each subsequent commit on this PR fans out one layer to its full coverage and migrates the corresponding call sites, shrinking the Layer 2 allow-list in lockstep.
