"description" : "Covers the AU Core Diagnostic Result Observation (2.0.0) requirements identified in fhirfrog/au-core-compiler#21 (AUC-016): read, search by patient+code/patient+category/patient+category+date (mirroring au-fhir-core-inferno's DiagnosticresultGroup patient_code/patient_category/patient_category_date search tests), must-support element presence across all 14 MS elements (status, category, code, subject, effective[x], performer, value[x], dataAbsentReason, bodySite, hasMember, component, component.code, component.value[x], component.dataAbsentReason), and profile conformance validation. The 14 MS elements are split across two fixtures reflecting how AU Core's paired obligation extensions (SHALL:populate-if-known on the responder, SHALL:no-error on the requester) actually manifest: 'diagnosticresult-fixture' is the ordinary case (value[x] known and populated, plus a component sub-observation), and 'diagnosticresult-absent-fixture' is the case where the underlying result genuinely isn't known - dataAbsentReason/component.dataAbsentReason populated instead of value[x]/component.value[x] (satisfying the profile's au-core-obs-01 invariant), with hasMember linking back to the ordinary fixture as a panel would. The ObligationNoError test exercises the requester side directly: searching for the absent-value observation must still return a clean 200 (not an error) - this only became testable once fhirfrog/fhir-frog's AssertionEvaluator gained assert.responseCode support and OperationExecutor's executeSearch started catching BaseServerResponseException instead of letting it abort the run (see that engine commit for details). ProfileValidationObligationPair runs validateProfileId against the absent-value fixture specifically, which is what actually machine-checks the au-core-obs-01 invariant now that ProfileValidator's profileUrl handling is fixed (fhirfrog/au-core-compiler#6). Reference-resolution and the remaining SHOULD/MAY search variants (code/status/date multiple-OR, chained patient search, IHI/Medicare/DVA identifier chains) are not replicated - see fhirfrog/au-core-compiler#6 for the general scope rationale.",
