+# test: TierFilterItem and SelectionFilterItem models
+
+## Problem
+
+Filter sidebar models format tier/category labels and selection state but had no dedicated tests beyond `FilterUIService` integration coverage.
+
+## Solution
+
+Add `FilterItemModelTests` for `DisplayText`, `EffectiveSelection`, and selection toggles.
+
+## Verification
+
+`dotnet test src/ModSync.Tests/ModSync.Tests.csproj --filter FilterItemModel
