Historically supported versions have been covered by the IPFS contributing doc though to be fair, it's looking a bit out of date - still talks about webpack and ES2015 doesn't mention browsers or mobile. It could use updating and linking to from here.
To be able to say we support mobile/tablet we need to be able to run the test suite on those platforms in CI.
The various test runners for each environment are found here in aegir so a mobile-browser.js
runner could be added there that would then integrate nicely with UCI.
The structure of all the tests in our stack is that they are written using the mocha testing framework which we execute directly in Node.js, on Electron using electron-mocha, and headlessly in browsers via playwright-test which uses playwright under the hood.
There's an issue open against playwright for supporting mobile browsers that's a few years old now so not sure it they're still working towards that, but it looks like browserstack have made progress in testing on devices using playwright so using an external service might be an option, though debugging becomes a lot harder since you aren't running tests locally at that point.
Some further investigation is needed.
Done Criteria
It is self-service for a user to understand what runtimes the maintainers test Helia with and commit to spending time maintaining (e.g., troubleshooting issues).
Why Important
Sets clear expectations for users as they decide whether to adopt the project. Make clear for maintainers with what level support they need to maintain as they make changes.
