Research direction

Locate the documentation section that precedes yarn test, then read __tests__/api.test.js to confirm the InfluxDB mock. Update the guidance so unit tests do not require a live InfluxDB instance; if an integration workflow is documented, keep it separate and clearly identify its requirements.

The compose setup instructions create an auth database named `iot_center_auth`, but the repo’s default `INFLUX_DATABASE_AUTH` in `.env.development`/README is `iot_center_devices`. This mismatch will cause “database not found” errors unless users also change env defaults; align the database name here or update the project defaults consistently. Open

This guide refers to two databases `iot_center` and `iot_center_auth`, but the project’s committed defaults/README use `iot_center_devices` for the auth database (`INFLUX_DATABASE_AUTH`). Update the diagram and any commands/env examples so the database names are consistent with `.env.development`. Open

The structure comment says `pages/api/devices/[[...deviceParams]].js` handles `GET/DELETE /api/devices`, but the handler only supports `GET` (and `POST` for `/:deviceId/measurements`)—there’s no `DELETE` implementation. Update the description so it reflects the actual supported methods/routes. Open
