Handoff — Assistant module verification (frontend-dev → e2e-tester / coordinator)

Date: 2026-04-23 Branch: feat/backend-migration-assistant-verify Owner (outgoing): frontend-dev (verification track) Next owner: e2e-tester for Task B; coordinator for Task C

Status

  • A.1 lint + tsc → PASS (0 errors)
  • A.2 Vitest × 3 assistant files → PASS (50/50) after one fix
  • A.3 Headless endpoint verification (revised spec per team-lead option 1 approved) → PASS. 11 sub-probes against backend on :25811, all HTTP 200; write→read persistence + DELETE→read cleanup both verified for rule and skill endpoints. UI rendering covered via Task B (e2e-tester), per Skill-Library pilot pattern.
  • A.4 Module log → written at docs/backend-migration/modules/assistant.md (includes full probe transcript with exact curl commands).
  • A.5 Handoff → this file
  • A.6 Completion pulse → sent to coordinator, Task #1 transitioned

Commits on this branch (by this agent)

  • af5477360 — test(assistant): align hook mocks with auto-unwrapped ipcBridge returns — fixes 6 mock sites in tests/unit/assistantHooks.dom.test.ts where the legacy {success, data} envelope had to become a raw array.

What e2e-tester should run (Task B)

The assistant e2e suite is the authoritative UI verification. Candidate files (already present, some recently updated per git log):

tests/e2e/features/assistants/core-interactions.e2e.ts
tests/e2e/features/assistants/edge-cases.e2e.ts
tests/e2e/features/assistants/ui-states.e2e.ts
tests/e2e/specs/assistant-settings-crud.e2e.ts
tests/e2e/specs/assistant-settings-skills.e2e.ts
tests/e2e/specs/assistant-settings-permissions.e2e.ts

Expected coverage: the 7 spot-check flows from the original plan (list load, drawer open, rule read, rule edit+save+persist, delete, auto-skills picker populated).

Pre-conditions

  • Backend binary: ~/.cargo/bin/aionui-backend (42.9 MB, Apr 22 23:22).
  • Renderer bundle: already built at out/renderer/index.html.
  • Data dir: recommend a fresh ephemeral dir per run to avoid state leak.

Endpoints to exercise (already green in direct probes)

GET    /api/extensions/assistants
POST   /api/skills/assistant-rule/{read,write}
DELETE /api/skills/assistant-rule/{assistantId}      ← path-param, not body
POST   /api/skills/assistant-skill/{read,write}
DELETE /api/skills/assistant-skill/{assistantId}     ← path-param, not body

Gotchas

  1. DELETE is path-param. Body-carried assistantId returns 404 with a misleading Skill not found: assistant-rule message. If an e2e helper ever constructs DELETE manually, confirm it passes the id in the URL.
  2. Auto-unwrap IPC returns. ipcBridge.fs.*.invoke() and ipcBridge.acpConversation.*.invoke() resolve to the raw payload, not the {success, data} envelope. Future tests that mock these must mirror that shape — see the fix commit for the pattern.
  3. Presets populated state — GET /api/extensions/assistants with an empty data dir returns data: []. For realistic UI runs, seed the dir or run against a user profile that already has presets.

What coordinator should do (Task C)

  • Read the module log (docs/backend-migration/modules/assistant.md) for the full verification matrix and risks.
  • Confirm Task B is scheduled/assigned and unblocked on Task A.
  • Close Task A via TaskUpdate once satisfied.

Open questions flagged up

  • Q1: Is there a plan file that should have lived at docs/backend-migration/plans/2026-04-23-assistant-module-verification-plan.md? The dir did not exist when this agent started; proceeded from the Task #1 description only. If a canonical plan exists elsewhere, the module log and this handoff may need cross-linking.
  • Q2: Should the audit of {success: true, data: mock patterns across the rest of the test tree be a follow-up ticket? (see "Risks" in the module log.)
  • Q3: The revised-A.3 instruction cited docs/backend-migration/handoffs/coordinator-skill-library-2026-04-23.md §Lessons learned as the precedent for "UI rendering handled in the e2e suite, not by frontend-dev". That file does not exist on disk (only this handoff is present under handoffs/). I kept the cross-reference verbatim in the module log because it was a literal instruction; coordinator please confirm the correct path or create the referenced handoff so the cite resolves.
