Ok but looking at those tests for just a second (for createElement), you might want to go through it again, or ask the computer or whatever. For example, edgeCases.test.ts is totally redundant, you are running the same exact tests in children.test.ts.

Edit: such a LLM repo... why did it feel the need to recreate these DOM types? Is your AI just trying to maximize LoC? It just seems like such a pain and potential source of real trouble when these are already available. https://github.com/webjsx/webjsx/blob/main/src%2FjsxTypes.ts

Actually, the file you identified is the (only) one that's mostly human written. It came from a previous project, I may be able to get rid of it.

But generally, the tests are very useful. My point is that there will be redundancies, and maybe even bugs - and that's fine, because the time needed to fix these would be much less than what it would have taken to write them from scratch.
