Ensure payload data is escaped to prevent XSS

[objecttothis]

• Added unit tests for Barcode_lib to validate escaping of name, ID, item number, and category fields.
• Updated Barcode_lib methods to apply esc() for sanitizing payloads.
• Removed redundant urldecode() in Item_kitsController to prevent triple decoding of payloads in barcode generation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed barcode generation for item kits with encoded IDs.
  • Preserved encoded barcode content without unintended decoding.
• Security
  • Barcode labels now safely escape item names, numbers, IDs, categories, and company names.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for barcode escaping and item-kit barcode generation, including encoded and plain IDs.
• Documentation
  • Added a testing convention requiring one canonical test file per class.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The item-kit barcode flow preserves supplied identifiers without URL decoding. Barcode layout rendering now escapes item values and uses camelCase helper naming. Controller and library tests cover encoded payloads, plain IDs, executable SVG content, and clean names.

Changes

Barcode safety

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Item-kit identifier handling app/Controllers/Item_kits.php, tests/Controllers/ItemKitsControllerTest.php, AGENTS.md	The controller preserves supplied item-kit IDs during barcode generation. Tests cover triple-encoded payloads and plain IDs. The testing convention defines one canonical test file per class.
Barcode layout escaping app/Libraries/Barcode_lib.php, tests/Libraries/Barcode_libTest.php	The barcode layout helper uses camelCase naming. Item names, company names, item numbers, and item IDs are HTML-escaped before rendering. Tests cover executable payloads and clean names.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 95e67

The PR strengthens barcode payload handling against XSS and avoids redundant decoding. A regression test still does not explicitly verify a successful barcode-generation response, but this is a localized follow-up and no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Assert a successful response before inspecting the body.

This test does not verify that barcode generation completed successfully. Add $response->assertStatus(200); before reading the response body.
