Agent Session Logs Persisted

Verify that agent session outputs are persisted

Step 5: Verify previous output is preserved

Step 6: Verify session can be reviewed after completion


Feature #85 "Agent Session Logs Persisted" requires starting an agent session, which requires the Claude Agent SDK that hasn't been integrated yet. This feature cannot be tested without the agent system. Let me skip it and get the next one:


Feature 'Agent Session Logs Persisted' moved to end of queue


Complete Project Creation Workflow

Verify the complete workflow from project creation to first task completion

Step 5: Verify planner agent creates tasks


Feature #86 also requires agent system integration (planner agent creates tasks, coder agent executes, etc.). Let me skip it:


Feature 'Complete Project Creation Workflow' moved to end of queue


QA Workflow End to End

Verify complete QA workflow from review to approval

Step 4: If issues found, verify QA Fixer starts


Feature #87 also requires agent system (QA Reviewer Agent, QA Fixer). Skipping:


Feature 'QA Workflow End to End' moved to end of queue


Re-Spec Workflow with Context

Verify Re-Spec workflow preserves and uses existing context

Step 1: Create project with initial spec

Step 4: Verify existing work is presented

Step 6: Verify system identifies impact on existing work

Step 7: Verify tasks are updated appropriately

Step 8: Verify completed work is not lost


Feature #88 requires the Re-Spec workflow which is part of the agent system. Skipping:


Feature 'Re-Spec Workflow with Context' moved to end of queue


Adopt Codebase Workflow

Verify complete workflow for adopting existing codebase

Step 4: Complete spec interview with context

Step 5: Verify project is created with path

Step 6: Verify codebase map is generated

Step 7: Verify existing files are recognized


Feature #89 requires codebase analysis which is part of agent system. Skipping:


Feature 'Adopt Codebase Workflow' moved to end of queue


Git Branch Workflow

Verify git branching workflow from feature to merge

Step 2: Verify feature branch is created

Step 4: Verify commits on feature branch

Step 6: Verify merge to main/develop is available


Feature #90 requires automated git branching which is part of agent system. Skipping:


Feature 'Git Branch Workflow' moved to end of queue


Network Failure Graceful Handling

Verify graceful handling when backend connection fails

Step 3: Verify user-friendly error message


Feature #91 "Network Failure Graceful Handling" can be tested! This involves stopping the backend and verifying graceful error handling. Let me mark it as in-progress and test it:

Good, the page shows "Backend connected" in the bottom bar. Now let me find the backend process and stop it to test network failure handling:


Bash

Find Python processes running (backend)


Error: Command 'tasklist' is not in the allowed commands list


Let me try a different approach to stop the backend server:


curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" http://localhost:8000/health 2>/dev/null || echo "Backend not responding"

Check if backend is currently responding


The backend is responding. Let me check the background tasks to see if there's a running backend process I can manage:

I can see the backend is running as a background task with ID `b7d51df`. Let me kill it to simulate network failure:


<task-notification>
<task-id>b7d51df</task-id>
<output-file>C:\Users\MIKESW~1\AppData\Local\Temp\claude\C--Users-MikeSwanson-AutoBuilder-My-Auto-Builder\tasks\b7d51df.output</output-file>
<status>killed</status>
<summary>Background command "Restart the backend server" was killed.</summary>
</task-notification>
Read the output file to retrieve the result: C:\Users\MIKESW~1\AppData\Local\Temp\claude\C--Users-MikeSwanson-AutoBuilder-My-Auto-Builder\tasks\b7d51df.output


Successfully killed shell: b7d51df (cd /c/Users/MikeSwanson/AutoBuilder/My-Auto-Builder/backend && /c/Users/MikeSwanson/AutoBuilder/My-Auto-Builder/backend/venv/Scripts/python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000)


The backend has been killed. Now let me update the todo and try to perform an action in the UI to see if it handles the network failure gracefully:


TodoWrite

Test network failure graceful handling (Feature #91)

Stop backend server

Verify UI shows user-friendly error

Restart backend and verify reconnection


Stop backend server

Verify UI shows user-friendly error

Restart backend and verify reconnection

Stop backend server

Verify UI shows user-friendly error

Restart backend and verify reconnection


The page still shows data from before the backend was stopped. The bottom bar still shows "Backend connected" - it hasn't detected the disconnect yet. Let me try to trigger an action like adding a task to see how it handles the network failure:

Excellent! The network failure is handled gracefully! I can see:

1. **✅ User-friendly error message**: Two toast notifications appeared:
   - "Failed to create task" with "Failed to fetch"
   - "Create Failed" with "Failed to create task. Please try again."

2. **✅ No crash or blank screen**: The page remains fully functional with the dialog still open

3. **✅ Form data preserved**: The task name "NETWORK_FAILURE_TEST_TASK" is still in the form

4. The console shows the error but the UI displays a clean message to the user

Let me check if there's a toast visible and that the app remains stable. Let me also verify the page doesn't crash by navigating:

The dialog closed gracefully after canceling. The page is still fully functional with no crash. Now let me restart the backend and verify reconnection works (Steps 5 and 6):


Test network failure graceful handling (Feature #91)

Stop backend server

Verify UI shows user-friendly error

Restart backend and verify reconnection


Bash

cd /c/Users/MikeSwanson/AutoBuilder/My-Auto-Builder/backend && /c/Users/MikeSwanson/AutoBuilder/My-Auto-Builder/backend/venv/Scripts/python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000

Restart backend server


Command running in background with ID: bb21917. Output is being written to: C:\Users\MIKESW~1\AppData\Local\Temp\claude\C--Users-MikeSwanson-AutoBuilder-My-Auto-Builder\tasks\bb21917.output


sleep 3 && curl -s http://localhost:8000/health

Wait for backend to start and check health


The backend is back up. Now let me try to perform an action in the UI to verify reconnection works:
