feat(tests): Add comprehensive tests for SSR admin vendors module

Add 8 BDD-style tests for the vendors module covering grid/list
operations and vendor merge functionality. Tests follow established
patterns from accounts_test.clj and include proper database
verification.

Tests Implemented:
- vendor-grid-loads-with-empty-database
- vendor-fetch-ids-returns-correct-structure
- vendor-fetch-page-returns-vendors
- vendor-hydrate-results-works
- vendor-merge-transfers-references
- vendor-merge-same-vendor-rejected
- vendor-merge-invalid-vendor-handled
- vendor-hydration-includes-all-fields

Key Implementation Details:
- Uses setup-test-data helper with unique temp IDs
- Tests focus on public interface (fetch-page, merge-submit)
- Follows BDD Given/When/Then pattern
- All 8 tests passing (26 assertions)

Documentation:
- Created implementation plan in docs/plans/
- Documented solution patterns in docs/solutions/
- Created code review todos for future improvements

+# Add Missing Solr Mocking to vendors_test.clj
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+All tests in vendors_test.clj are missing the `(with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl ...])` wrapper that accounts_test.clj uses consistently. This may cause:
+1. Test failures if vendor operations trigger Solr indexing
+2. Side effects between tests if Solr state leaks
+3. Inconsistency with established testing patterns
+
+## Findings
+
+**From kieran-rails-reviewer:**
+Lines 31-38, 40-53, 55-69, etc. are missing:
+```clojure
+(with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
+  ...)
+```
+
+**accounts_test.clj pattern (every test):**
+```clojure
+(deftest account-creation-success
+  (testing "Admin should be able to create..."
+    (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
+      (let [admin-identity (admin-token)
+            result (sut/account-save ...)]
+        ...))))
+```
+
+**Impact:**
+- Tests may fail if Solr operations are triggered during vendor save/update
+- Potential side effects between tests (shared Solr state)
+- Violates test isolation principles
+
+## Proposed Solutions
+
+### Option A: Add Solr Wrapper to All Tests (Recommended)
+**Effort:** Small (10 minutes)
+**Risk:** Low
+
+Wrap all test bodies with Solr mocking:
+```clojure
+(deftest vendor-fetch-ids-returns-correct-structure
+  (testing "fetch-ids should return properly structured results"
+    (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
+      ;; Given: Setup test data
+      (setup-test-data [(create-vendor "Test Vendor 1") ...])
+      ...)))
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Ensures test isolation
+- Matches accounts_test.clj pattern exactly
+- Prevents side effects between tests
+
+**Cons:**
+- Slightly more verbose test code
+- Adds ~8 lines of boilerplate across all tests
+
+### Option B: Verify Solr Not Needed
+**Effort:** Small (10 minutes)
+**Risk:** Medium
+
+Research whether vendor operations actually use Solr:
+1. Check if `sut/fetch-page`, `sut/fetch-ids`, `sut/hydrate-results`, or `sut/merge-submit` trigger Solr
+2. Check vendors.clj for `solr/index-documents-raw` calls
+3. Only add mocking if Solr is actually used
+
+**Pros:**
+- Avoids unnecessary code if Solr not used
+- More targeted fix
+
+**Cons:**
+- Requires investigation
+- Risk of missing edge cases
+- Future changes could break tests
+
+### Option C: Extract Solr Fixture
+**Effort:** Medium (20 minutes)
+**Risk:** Low
+
+Create a test fixture for Solr mocking:
+```clojure
+(defn with-solr-mock [f]
+  (with-redefs [auto-ap.solr/impl (auto-ap.solr/->InMemSolrClient (atom {}))]
+    (f)))
+
+(use-fixtures :each wrap-setup with-solr-mock)
+```
+
+**Pros:**
+- Cleaner test code (no inline with-redefs)
+- Reusable across test files
+- Automatically applied to all tests
+
+**Cons:**
+- Adds global fixture (may affect tests that don't need it)
+- New pattern not used in accounts_test.clj
+
+## Recommended Action
+
+**Go with Option A** - add explicit Solr mocking to each test. This:
+1. Matches the established accounts_test.clj pattern
+2. Makes dependencies explicit (clear which tests need Solr)
+3. Provides immediate protection without global changes
+
+## Technical Details
+
+**Affected Tests:**
+1. `vendor-grid-loads-with-empty-database` (lines 31-38)
+2. `vendor-fetch-ids-returns-correct-structure` (lines 40-53)
+3. `vendor-fetch-page-returns-vendors` (lines 55-69)
+4. `vendor-hydrate-results-works` (lines 71-86)
+5. `vendor-merge-transfers-references` (lines 92-117)
+6. `vendor-merge-same-vendor-rejected` (lines 119-134)
+7. `vendor-merge-invalid-vendor-handled` (lines 136-152)
+8. `vendor-hydration-includes-all-fields` (lines 158-177)
+
+**Verification:**
+```bash
+lein test auto-ap.ssr.admin.vendors-test  # Ensure all tests pass
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] All 8 tests wrapped with Solr mocking
+- [ ] Pattern matches accounts_test.clj exactly
+- [ ] Tests continue to pass
+- [ ] Code formatted with lein cljfmt

+## Work Log
+
+### 2026-02-07 - Initial Creation
