Maybe add a TODO with an issue number to fix the skipped tests? 🤔

nit Does this happen? Should we check at the caller level if node is nil or not instead of calling getNode on it perhaps?

it shouldn't happen, but I'd rather have this check here just to be safe... do you know of a good method for dealing with things like this, where it shouldn't happen but if it does it's really bad? kinda what I thought panics were for, but seems it's not good to use those

In my opinion, panics are when you can't break a function signature. For example if you have an exported, public Divide(a, b int) int and later realise you cannot divide with b = 0, use a panic.

I usually try to return an error instead of panicing. In this situation though, I think you are returning a nil result. If this is not case meant to be handled there, you should either return an error or panic there. If it's really critical and that would mess up everything else, then panic for sure.

The best long term solution is testing depth and coverage, but that's not an easy task!
