Hello community, I am learning smart contracts development and in the video course I see that author created a scripts folder and write a scripts for some functions from the contract. First he runs a local node and then run these 2 scripts. I can't understand for what I need to write the scripts if I already wrote deploy scripts and unit+staging tests where I check the whole functionality of the contract ?

You would need to write tests for each function to make sure it works. Otherwise you can manual test by deploying to testnet
You can call functions on the contract using scripts to interact with it

Yes I already wrote the tests both unit(for local network) and staging(for a testnet). So scripts are mostly used to interact with the contract and check how it works?

That too. I personally prefer using remix for manual testing it’s so much easier

Manual test is much weaker than a proper test suite

Right

Usually scripts are used to automate stuff, like idk, you might have a csv with a table of user/amount to be given and do an airdrop which issues all the txs for that, or you can write script that react on certain events etc.

Really interesting

scripts are used to alter the state of the target chain
tests are designed to test the contracts/interactions

Yes
Unless you need something like key<=255 and using uint8 you avoid that require

slot(m[k]) = keccak(k . slot(m)), where . is byte concatenation
