Functional Verification — Cycle 8
Functional Verification — Cycle 8
Date: 2026-04-17
Working directory: C:\Users\keen4\WxManBran\tools\tropical-update-publisher\build_v2\v1\tools\tropical-update-publisher
Baseline read (cycle-8 test pass): 81 PASS / 30 MISSING / 0 FAIL / 0 BLOCKED / 0 PARTIAL / 100.0% health.
Baseline read (fix-8 pass): zero source edits landed (fix-cycle scope was empty by design — no FAIL/BLOCKED/PARTIAL to close).
Mode: HARDENING (100% health) — broader PASS sampling than the standard 20% regression check.
Verification Results (Post-Fix)
| Metric | Pre-Fix (cycle-8) | Post-Fix (verify-8) | Δ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Total features | 111 | 111 | 0 |
| PASS | 81 | 81 | 0 |
| FAIL | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| BLOCKED | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| PARTIAL | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| REGRESSION | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| MISSING | 30 | 30 | 0 |
| UNTESTED | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| Health Score | 100.0% | 100.0% | 0.0% |
Health Score formula: PASS / (PASS + FAIL + BLOCKED + PARTIAL) = 81 / 81 = 100.0%.
Master-list audit (direct grep against refinement-functional-master-list.md):
^### F[0-9]→ 111 feature sections ✓^- Status: PASS$→ 81 ✓^- Status: MISSING$→ 30 ✓^- Status: (FAIL|BLOCKED|PARTIAL|UNTESTED)$→ 0 ✓- Totals: 81 + 30 + 0 = 111 ✓
Verify-8 delta: zero status transitions. Fix-8 landed zero edits (per its own declared empty scope); verify-8 confirmed that the PASS matrix held under a much larger re-verification sample than cycle-8 used.
Phase 0 — Mechanical Completeness Sweep (fresh)
Re-ran all three mechanical gates fresh against the verify-8 source tree (identical to cycle-8 per mtime scan below):
| Command | Result | Log |
|---|---|---|
npm run build |
exit 0 (renderer dist/renderer/assets/index-DHPen0XE.js 984.45 kB / index-DOffPx65.css 53.56 kB — byte-identical to cycle-8; tsc main + preload) |
refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/build.log |
npm run typecheck |
exit 0 (main + preload + renderer) | refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/typecheck.log |
npm run lint |
exit 0 (zero warnings) | refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/lint.log |
The same Tailwind informational warning on duration-[var(--motion-duration-medium)] is still emitted by the build (unchanged since cycle 2). N = 0 compile errors. No fixes needed before re-verification.
Full-Suite Test Runs (× 3 consecutive)
| Run | Test Files | Tests | Duration | Start | Log |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 56/56 PASS | 578/578 PASS | 37.08s | 21:58:45 | refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/test-run-1.log |
| 2 | 56/56 PASS | 578/578 PASS | 41.25s | 01:02:54 | refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/test-run-2.log |
| 3 | 56/56 PASS | 578/578 PASS | 34.26s | 01:03:45 | refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/test-run-3.log |
Result: 3/3 runs fully green. This is the cleanest full-suite pattern since cycle 7 (also 3/3). Cycle 8’s elevated flake activation rate (2/3 hits on shadcn-smoke > keeps keyboard focus inside the dialog while open) did not persist into verify-8 — all three runs flipped green including the focus-trap test which was a flake hotspot last cycle.
Test-count delta: identical to cycle-8 (578 tests across 56 files). No tests added, no tests removed — consistent with the zero-source-edit fix-8 scope.
Hardening Sample — Isolated Spec Re-Verification (~30% of PASS features)
Beyond the 3 full-suite runs, I ran a broader isolated hardening sample than the standard 20% regression check, to meet the hardening-mode requirement of deeper PASS re-verification each cycle. The sample was rotated toward backend service specs (cycle 8 rotated toward renderer specs), giving cumulative coverage:
Backend service specs — 7 spec files, 103 tests
| Spec File | Tests | Result | F-features covered |
|---|---|---|---|
tests/main/configService.test.ts |
3 | PASS (3/3) | F053, F057, F058, F059, F060 (Config schema + migration) |
tests/main/quickBrowseService.test.ts |
22 | PASS (22/22) | F046, F047, F048, F049 (quick-browse backend) |
tests/main/wordDocumentService.test.ts |

Combined: 103/103 tests green in 6.87s total (refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/backend-services-isolated.log).
Renderer UI specs — 8 spec files, 41 tests
| Spec File | Tests | Result | F-features covered |
|---|---|---|---|
tests/renderer/dropZone.test.tsx |

tests/renderer/topBar.test.tsx |
3 | PASS (3/3) | F012, F084 (top-bar branding + shadcn button/dialog a11y) |
Combined: 41/41 tests green in 16.85s total (refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/renderer-ui-isolated.log).
Verify-7 carry-over spec reruns — 2 spec files, 6 tests
| Spec File | Tests | Result | F-features covered |
|---|---|---|---|
tests/renderer/publishFooter.test.tsx |
4 | PASS (4/4) | F034 (publish footer destination path — verify-7 landing) |
tests/renderer/useGitPublish.test.tsx |
2 | PASS (2/2) | F029 derivative (publish hook 60s timeout) |
Combined: 6/6 tests green in 6.28s total (refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/publishFooter-useGitPublish-isolated.log).
Hardening coverage summary
| Dimension | Coverage |
|---|---|
| F-features directly hardened in isolated reruns | ~35 unique F-features across ~50% of the PASS set |
| F-features covered by the 3 full-suite runs | All 80 test-covered PASS features (every isolated spec is also in the full suite) |
| F-features covered by direct service smokes (below) | 7 (F008, F028+R2, F035, F036, F037, F038, F044) |
This exceeds the standard verify-cycle 20% regression-check target and meets the hardening-mode bar of “sample a different 33% of PASS features … rotate through them.”
Flake Re-Verification — shadcn-smoke focus-trap
The cycle-8 report flagged a watch flag: if verify-8 hits 3/3 on tests/renderer/shadcn-smoke.test.tsx > keeps keyboard focus inside the dialog while open, escalate the verify-6 contingency plan to move the spec to a single-threaded test project. Verify-8 did not hit 3/3 in the full suite (3/3 green runs). However, a new flake dimension emerged in isolated reruns:
| Invocation | Result | Duration | Log |
|---|---|---|---|
| Isolated run 1 | 15/16 PASS (focus-trap FAIL on toBeVisible assertion — dialog removed from DOM) |
49.34s wallclock / 1.98s test | shadcn-smoke-isolated.log |
| Isolated run 2 (retry) | 15/16 PASS (same focus-trap FAIL, same assertion shape) | 7.89s wallclock / 1.98s test | shadcn-smoke-isolated-retry.log |
| Isolated run 3 (retry) | 16/16 PASS | 10.90s wallclock / 2.54s test | shadcn-smoke-isolated-retry2.log |
This is a new flake shape. Cycle-8’s isolated rerun was 16/16 PASS in 1.68s; verify-8’s isolated reruns flaked 2/3 on the same test. The failure mode has also shifted:
- Cycle 8 (parallel pool pressure):
expect(dialog.contains(active)).toBe(true)— the focus-scope setup didn’t complete in time. - Verify-8 (isolated runs 1+2):
expect(dialog).toBeVisible()— the dialog was unmounted before the assertion — a more upstream effect. The most likely explanation is that the preceding test (“closes the dialog when Escape is pressed”) leaves Radix’s close-on-escape listener attached at the module level or the userEvent setup forwards a stray Escape keypress from the queued keyboard events into the next test’s dialog. Under parallel-load contention this race used to hit only in theactiveElementassertion; under sequential isolation the race now hits in the visibility assertion.
Triage: this is still an infrastructure timing artifact, not a regression in any F-feature on the master list (App + Dialog smoke is a synthetic shadcn primitive smoke, not a verifier for any F-entry). The same test passes on retry, and passes 3/3 in the full suite this cycle. However, the watch flag should be elevated from “monitor” to “schedule remediation”: the flake has expanded from parallel-load-only into isolated runs, which is a meaningful degradation pattern. See Watch Flags section below for the remediation plan.
Direct Service Smoke Evidence — regenerated against dist/
Five service-level smokes regenerated in refinement-state/test-fixtures/cycle-8-verify/ using the cycle-8 generators (modified only to stamp cycle: verify-8 and use verify8- tmp prefixes):

All five smokes byte-equal to cycle-8 (excluding cycle + timestamp markers). Service-layer contracts are now byte-stable across three consecutive cycles (cycle-7 → verify-7 → cycle-8 → verify-8 = zero drift for F008, F028+R2, F035, F036, F037, F038, F044).
Source Tree Stability
A mtime scan across src/ and tests/ (script: refinement-state/test-fixtures/cycle-8/mtime-scan.js, log: refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/mtime-scan.log) returns the cycle-8-landed set with no new entries. 143 total files scanned; identical to cycle-8. Top-7 most-recently-modified files (all timestamped 2026-04-16, all unchanged since cycle-8):

Test file list count (refinement-state/test-fixtures/cycle-8/count-test-files.js → refinement-state/functional-verify-8-artifacts/test-files-count.log): 56 test files. Matches cycle-8 exactly.
F-Entry Spot-Audit (hardening task 3)
Spot-checked that code paths for a diverse sample of PASS F-entries still resolve to real files in the tree:
| F-entry | Code path | Resolved? |
|---|---|---|
| F005 Electron Main Boot | src/main/app/crashGuard.ts |
✓ |
| F034 Publish Footer | src/renderer/features/publish/PublishFooter.tsx |
✓ |
| F035 Incoming Files Listing | src/main/services/publish/IncomingFilesService.ts |
✓ |
| F044 Folder Naming Rules | src/main/services/storms/determineFolderName.ts |
✓ |
| F090 Designed Empty States | src/renderer/components/EmptyState.tsx |
✓ |
| F014 Status Bar Git Branch | src/main/ipc/handlers/gitGetStatusHandlers.ts |
✓ |
MISSING-asset F-entries still resolve as MISSING:
| F-entry | Expected asset | Present? |
|---|---|---|
| F009 Asset icon | assets/icon.ico |
✗ (glob returns no files — F009 MISSING remains valid) |
| F009 Asset logo | assets/WMB_Logo.png |
✗ (glob returns no files — F009 MISSING remains valid) |
Master list totals from grep audit matched the expected post-fix counts (see above). No ghost features detected, no silent omissions detected, no code-only features discovered that aren’t already indexed in the master list.
Carry-Over Findings
None. Fix-8 landed zero edits because its scope was correctly empty. Cycle-8’s “New Discoveries” flagged the elevated shadcn-smoke parallel-load flake activation rate (2/3) — verify-8 shows the full-suite rate has returned to 0/3 green this cycle, but the isolated rate has unexpectedly risen from 0/3 to 2/3. See the Flake Re-Verification section and Watch Flags.
No new orphans detected. No dead-code paths discovered. No spec drift detected (project-spec.md unchanged since cycle 6; cycle-8’s detail that §6.9 footer copy still matches PublishFooter rendered text still holds because neither file has moved).
Detailed Findings
Fixes verified working
None to verify — fix-8 landed zero edits. The prior carry-over (verify-7’s F034 orphan) was already closed by verify-7 landing and remains closed this cycle (4/4 publishFooter tests green isolated + run-3 of full suite).
Fixes not resolved
None — no fixes were attempted this cycle.
Regressions introduced
None. Zero PASS → FAIL/PARTIAL/BLOCKED transitions. The isolated shadcn-smoke flake activation pattern change is infrastructure-level, not implementation-level:
- The
App + Dialog smokedescribe block is a synthetic primitive smoke, not tied to any F-feature on the master list (the shadcnDialogprimitive itself isn’t enumerated — only consumer features are). - The same test passes on the third retry in 2.54s test time.
- All 3 full-suite runs green.
- The
openDialogReliablyhelper was added in cycle 4 specifically to handle this class of Radix timing races; the verify-8 activation shows that helper is now insufficient under the Radix version + jsdom version + vitest parallel-pool configuration currently pinned. This is a test-harness robustness task, not a product regression.
Remaining work
Identical to cycle-8’s MISSING inventory — no changes.
- F009 assets/ +
WMB_Logo.png/icon.ico— MEDIUM - F030–F033 publish queue rows / commit-message input / YouTube UI / status log — HIGH (core publish-view UX). F034 (5th in this cluster) PASSES post-verify-7.
- F039 document-creator renderer section — HIGH
- F045 quick-browse renderer section — HIGH
- F050 header logo + git-status indicator widget — MEDIUM (blocks on F009)
- F087–F089 command palette / shortcut wiring / context menus — MEDIUM
- F093–F111 Phase 2 (NHC/AI/email/draft queue/rich dashboard/historical/notifications/QoL/audit compliance) — deferred multi-session scope
Priority sequencing per fix-8 report’s “Watch Flags Carried Forward”: Session A (F009+F050 together) → Session B (F030→F031→F032→F033 coherent Publish UX slice) → Session C (F087→F088→F089) → Session D (F039 Document Creator renderer) → Session E (F045 Quick Browse renderer) → Phase 2 (F093–F111 as a separate epic).
New Discoveries This Cycle (Hardening Mode)
- Full-suite flake rate has normalized: verify-8 saw 3/3 full-suite green runs, reversing cycle-8’s 2/3 elevated activation. Interpretation: the flake-sensitive environmental factors (machine load, parallel pool scheduling, GC) were lower-pressure during verify-8’s windows. Does not change the underlying diagnosis (still infra-level, not product).
- Isolated flake activation has NEWLY appeared: verify-8 saw 2/3 isolated-invocation failures on the same
shadcn-smoke > keeps keyboard focus inside the dialog while opentest, a behavior not observed in any prior cycle (cycle-8 was 16/16 in 1.68s; verify-7 was 16/16 in 1.68s). The failure shape has shifted upstream fromexpect(dialog.contains(active)).toBe(true)toexpect(dialog).toBeVisible()— the dialog now disappears before the focus-scope assertion even runs. Most likely root cause: cross-test keyboard-event leak from the precedingcloses the dialog when Escape is pressedtest where Radix’s modal-close handler reacts to a stray Escape keydown that was queued during the previous test’s unmount. This is a new hardening finding worth scheduling remediation for — the existingopenDialogReliablyhelper doesn’t cover this failure shape because it re-polls the open click, but by then the Escape-close has already fired. - Service-layer byte-stability confirmed for a third consecutive cycle: F008 + F028+R2 + F035 + F036+F037+F038 + F044 direct smokes all byte-equal across cycle-7 → verify-7 → cycle-8 → verify-8 (four total identical snapshots). The implementation surface for these backend clusters is settled.
- Hardening sample size was roughly doubled vs standard cycles: 144 tests re-verified in isolation (103 backend + 41 renderer UI) + 6 tests for verify-7 carry-over + 5 direct smokes + 3 full-suite runs = a much denser sample than the standard 20% regression check. No additional PASS features demoted.
- No ghost F-entries, no undocumented code-only features discovered: every PASS F-entry’s code path resolved via Glob; every MISSING F-entry’s expected path still resolves as missing. The master-list feature tracing is accurate at a spot-check level. Recommended next hardening cycle: do a full line-by-line parity scan of
project-spec.mdvs the master list to confirm no spec sections were silently omitted — this cycle’s audit was a sample, not exhaustive.
Git Safety
- No live git-publish E2E was executed this cycle. F029 (Git Publish Workflow) derivative coverage held green across all runs:
tests/main/publishService.test.ts— 12/12 PASS in every full-suite run + 12/12 in isolated backend rerun.tests/main/gitService.mocks.test.ts— 11/11 PASS in every full-suite run + 11/11 in isolated backend rerun.tests/main/publishHistoryService.test.ts— 2/2 PASS in every full-suite run.tests/main/gitGetStatusHandlers.test.ts— 7/7 PASS in every full-suite run.
- The cycle-2 disposable-branch E2E artifact (
refinement-state/test-fixtures/cycle-2/publish-e2e-result.json) remains authoritative live evidence — no live git layer change has landed since. - No disposable test branches created this cycle. No remote refs touched. No
mainwrites. Noconfig.jsonmutations. No worktrees or stashes introduced. Git working tree unchanged.
Matches the cycle-6 / cycle-7 / verify-7 / cycle-8 guidance: use the live disposable-branch E2E only when a git-layer change lands; otherwise the static mocked-git suite is sufficient regression signal.
GUI / Screenshots
- No live Electron launch attempted this cycle. Source tree byte-unchanged since cycle-8 (mtime scan above), so GUI visuals are identical to the cycle-8 / verify-7 / cycle-7 snapshots.
- Cycle-2 screenshots (
refinement-state/screenshots/cycle-2/interactive-first-run-before.png,interactive-after-continue.png) remain representative of the app shell. refinement-state/screenshots/cycle-8/remains intentionally empty — next fix cycle should repopulate when F030–F033 UI lands.- F034’s visual contract asserted at the DOM level by the 4 tests in
publishFooter.test.tsx(green in isolated + full-suite). - F090’s visual contract asserted at the DOM level by the 7 tests in
emptyState.test.tsx(green in isolated + full-suite).

Master-List Update
No edits required this cycle. Master list is already correctly aligned with cycle-8 / fix-8 state:
- F034: PASS (verify-7 landing held through cycle-8 and verify-8; 4/4 isolated + run-1/2/3 full-suite green).
- F090: PASS (cycle-7 landing held through cycle-8 and verify-8; 7/7 isolated + run-1/2/3 full-suite green).
- All other 79 PASS features: no evidence drift; covered by 3 full-suite × 578/578 + the isolated hardening sample of 144 tests.
- All other 30 MISSING features: no code progress; statuses unchanged.
Totals: 81 PASS + 30 MISSING + 0 other = 111 ✓ (matches legend).
Watch Flags Carried Forward To Cycle 9
shadcn-smoke > keeps keyboard focus inside the dialog while open— ESCALATED: the flake has migrated from parallel-pool-only (cycle-8: 2/3 full-suite hits, 0/3 isolated hits) into isolated runs (verify-8: 0/3 full-suite hits, 2/3 isolated hits — NEW FAILURE MODE). The failure shape has also shifted upstream fromtoBe(true)on focus-scope containment totoBeVisible()on the dialog element itself, suggesting cross-test Escape-keypress leak into the following test’s setup. Recommended remediation for cycle 9: harden the test with explicitbeforeEachkey-queue flushing (e.g.,fireEvent.keyDown(document, { key: 'Tab' })to consume any pending Escape from the preceding test’s unmount) OR move the spec to a single-threaded vitest project (verify-6 contingency plan). A source edit is now warranted — this is the first cycle where the flake has crossed from parallel-load-only into isolated sequential invocation, which is a degradation pattern.- 30 MISSING features remain uncovered — long-horizon debt, unchanged from cycle-8 / fix-8. Recommended sequencing (unchanged): Session A (F009+F050) → Session B (F030-F033) → Session C (F087-F089) → Session D (F039) → Session E (F045) → Phase 2 (F093-F111).
- Next hardening cycle should do a full line-by-line spec↔master-list parity scan — verify-8’s audit was a spot-check only. Cycle 9 or verify-9 should exhaustively walk
project-spec.mdsection-by-section against the 111 F-entries to confirm no spec features were silently omitted and no F-entries reference dead spec sections. - Third consecutive cycle of service-layer byte-stability — F008, F028+R2, F035, F036+F037+F038, F044 are fully settled. Future hardening rotations can rotate this smoke set toward new service-layer features that currently don’t have direct smokes (e.g., F061 credential vault, F062 CSP, F064 crash guard, F065 audit log, F066 publish history).

End of verify-8 report. Hardening cycle: zero code changes, zero status transitions, 3/3 full-suite runs green (CLEANEST since cycle 7), all 5 direct service smokes byte-equal to cycle-8, 144-test isolated hardening sample all green, 6-test verify-7 carry-over coverage all green. The new isolated-invocation activation of the shadcn-smoke focus-trap flake (2/3 runs) is the one actionable finding of the cycle — it warrants a test-harness edit in cycle 9 (beforeEach key-queue flush OR single-threaded test project move). The codebase remains at 100% health on 81 PASS features; 30 MISSING features continue to be deferred multi-session scope.
