 ## Testing
 
+The test suite includes comprehensive coverage of wallet connection handling:
+
+- **Wallet Service Tests** (`test/services/wallet.test.js`)
+  - Successful connection flow
+  - User rejection handling
+  - Storage persistence
+  - Disconnection cleanup
+
+- **AppContext Wallet Tests** (`test/unit/AppContext.wallet.test.jsx`)
+  - Connection state management
+  - Error handling and recovery
+  - Timeout protection
+  - State restoration from localStorage
+
+- **WalletButton Tests** (`test/components/WalletButton.test.jsx`)
+  - UI feedback for connection states
+  - Error message display
+  - Retry behavior
+  - User interaction flows
+
 Integration tests cover send-money validation, successful transfer submission,
 pending button behavior, duplicate-submission prevention, Transfers page filter
 sync (search, status, and date-range presets), and keyboard tab order across
