2041544 - [Homepage Sports Widget] - Add mock server integration in debug tool

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox for Android :: Homepage, task)

Description

[[:skhan]]

As we're wrapping up the FIFA widget, we needed a simple way to simulate any point in the tournament, any match state, before the tournament starts.

So we built a mock server that serves the exact same API routes as Merino. The core idea is that we have an interactive timeline and as you drag it it simulates the tournament and random scores are assigned to matches. We also added granular controls to test a match going from scheduled, live, to full time.

This is to be added in debug drawer -> Homepage Sports widget for QA or anyone else to test

firefox-beta Uplift Approval Request

• User impact if declined/Reason for urgency: World Cup kicks off 2026-06-11. Beta was cut 2026-05-18 and missed the last sprint of the Homepage Sports Widget feature work. Without uplift, beta-channel users see an incomplete widget for a fixed-date external event — no team-following error states, no group-stage transitions, no tournament-winner outcomes, no per-day schedule.
