Description

Multiple test files have duplicate setup code. This makes tests harder to maintain and violates the DRY principle. We should extract common patterns into shared modules.

Current State

• Test setup code is duplicated across multiple test files
• Common patterns like creating verified users, groups, and huddlz are repeated
• Makes it harder to update test logic consistently

Acceptance Criteria

• Create shared test support modules in test/support/
• Extract common generators (verified users, groups with members, etc.)
• Extract common assertion helpers
• Update existing tests to use shared helpers
• Document test patterns and helpers
• Ensure all tests still pass after refactoring

Technical Notes

• Look for patterns in test/huddlz/communities/*_test.exs files
• Consider creating modules like TestHelpers.Users, TestHelpers.Groups
• Use ExUnit.CaseTemplate for common setup
• Maintain backward compatibility during refactoring

Benefits

• Easier to maintain tests
• Faster to write new tests
• Consistent test data generation
• Single source of truth for test helpers
