Use a separate, minimal zsh config just for VS Code (ZDOTDIR)

Tell VS Code to point zsh at a dedicated config directory so it reads a tiny .zshrc there and never touches OMZ/P10k.

1. Create a VS Code zsh config dir

mkdir -p ~/.zsh-vscode
printf '%s\n' '# Plain zsh for VS Code only' > ~/.zsh-vscode/.zshrc

Testing react components

Guiding Principle

React testing library follows a guiding principle which is quoted below:

The more your tests resemble the way your software is used, the more confidence they can give you.
