what is the best pattern / practice for adding test libs?
i have a project (proj-a) and a base (base-1) - the base is using a dependency just for tests.
where should i write it? in the base test alias? how can i get it into the repl? add extra-deps to the test alias of the root deps.edn?

The poly tool has a https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/tree/master/components/test-helper component that is used in the https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/blob/70dfe75d52047317224e0367d9d8d5acde2907e8/projects/poly/deps.edn#L46, but only from the test config. In the dev project it's https://github.com/polyfy/polylith/blob/70dfe75d52047317224e0367d9d8d5acde2907e8/deps.edn#L29. I think that is a good pattern, to create a test helper (or what you prefer to call it).
