# TUI click-through: manual smoke test

The checks an agent cannot run, because they need a real Alpine boot and a human
reading the screen. Run these after any change to the list or detail screens.

Data root is `~/.stoat` (or `$STOAT_HOME`). Each VM is a directory
`~/.stoat/<dir>/` that holds a `vm.toml`. Build and launch the TUI with `just run`
or `go run ./cmd/stoat`.

Keys, for reference. List screen: `enter` start/stop, `l`/`→` details, `s` ssh,
`p` provision, `d` delete, `n` new, `r` edit recipes, `/` search. Detail screen:
`e` edit form, `E` raw vm.toml in `$EDITOR`, `i` installed toggle, `s` ssh, `p`
provision, `L` console log, `S` snapshots, `esc`/`h`/`q` back.

## 1. VM start: row flip and uptime tick

Verifies the running dot and the `time.Since(StartedAt)` uptime that ticks with
no list refresh.

1. On the list, select a stopped VM. The dot is the stopped glyph, the row shows
`-`.
2. Press `enter`. The VM starts.
3. Watch the row. The dot flips to the running glyph. The row reads
`up 1s :PORT`, then `up 2s`, then `up 3s`. The count climbs every second on
its own.
4. Confirm the seconds keep climbing without any keypress. A frozen number means
the uptime regressed to a stored duration.
5. Press `enter` again to stop it. The dot returns to stopped and the uptime
drops to `-`.

## 2. Corrupt vm.toml: shows broken, deletes with d+y

Verifies a broken VM still lists and deletes, keyed by its directory.

1. Stop the TUI. Pick a directory name that sorts mid-list, e.g. `mmm-broken`.
Create `~/.stoat/mmm-broken/vm.toml` with garbage: `not = valid = toml`.

Create the broken VM directory before writing vm.toml.

The procedure writes ~/.stoat/mmm-broken/vm.toml but never creates mmm-broken. Add a mkdir -p step so the manual test works from a clean data root.

Proposed documentation fix
 1. Stop the TUI. Pick a directory name that sorts mid-list, e.g. `mmm-broken`.
-   Create `~/.stoat/mmm-broken/vm.toml` with garbage: `not = valid = toml`.
+   Run `mkdir -p ~/.stoat/mmm-broken`, then create
+   `~/.stoat/mmm-broken/vm.toml` with garbage: `not = valid = toml`.

In `@docs/qa/tui-clickthrough.md` around lines 35 - 36, Add a mkdir -p step for
the mmm-broken directory before writing its vm.toml in the TUI clickthrough
procedure, ensuring the test works with a clean data root.

2. Launch the TUI. `mmm-broken` appears in alphabetical position, marked broken.
3. Select it and press `l`. The detail screen still opens; `L` serves any
console log the directory holds.
4. Back on the list, press `d`. A `y/N` confirmation appears.
5. Press `y`. The row is removed and `~/.stoat/mmm-broken/` is gone.
6. Repeat step 4. Press any key other than `y`. The TUI cancels the delete and
the row stays.

## 3. vm.toml name differs from directory

Verifies every operation keys off the directory, never the `name` field. This
identity bug recurred before. It must stay fixed.

1. Stop the TUI. In a working VM at `~/.stoat/realdir/vm.toml`, change the `name`
field to `wrongname` (leave the directory `realdir`).
2. Launch the TUI. The row shows `realdir`, the directory, not `wrongname`.
3. Press `l` for details. Run each key below. Each one must act on this VM, and
none may report "not found":
- `E` opens `realdir/vm.toml` in `$EDITOR`.
- `L` shows this VM's console log.
- `s` opens an ssh session to it (VM must be running).
- `p` starts a provision run against it.
4. Restore the `name` field afterward if you care about it.

## 4. Snapshots modal (S), four states

Verifies the `S` modal and both confirmation-gated destructive paths. Snapshots
need a disk or cloud VM, not live.

1. On the detail screen of a VM with no snapshots, press `S`. The modal
opens and shows an empty-state line, not a blank box.
2. Press `d`, then `r`. Neither does anything on an empty list. `esc` closes the
modal.
3. Take a snapshot first (`stoat snapshot <vm> <tag>` from a shell), then reopen
the detail screen and press `S`. The snapshot lists by its tag and date.
4. Press `d`. A `delete clean? y/N` line appears. Press a non-`y` key. The TUI
deletes nothing. Press `d` then `y`. The TUI removes the snapshot and
refreshes the list.
5. Take another snapshot. Press `r`. A `restore clean? y/N` line appears. Confirm
with `y` and the VM's disk rolls back to that snapshot.
6. Run steps 1-5 once with the VM stopped and once running. Both must behave the
same. A running VM's `info snapshots` prints `--` for the ID. The modal keys
everything off the tag for that reason.

Assert the full banner contract.

strings.Contains(..., "Installing") checks only a generic word. It does not verify "Installing Alpine.", the box, or the mascot added by this change. Assert representative markers so banner regressions fail the test.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Assert set membership in both directions.

The current loop uses want only as an allow-list. A duplicate such as docker plus a missing tailscale can still pass when the total count is four. Track the names seen and assert that every name in want was returned.

Add coverage for a changed cloud recipe.

This test proves only that an exact version and script hash suppress provisioning. Add a case with a stale AppliedRecipe version or hash and assert that NeedsProvision returns true. This verifies the changed-recipe behavior in cloud mode.

🧩 Analysis chain

🌐 Web query:

According to Arch Linux documentation, does pacman -Sy create an unsupported partial upgrade, and what command is recommended when installing packages from refreshed repositories?

💡 Result:

According to Arch Linux documentation, running commands that refresh the package database without also performing a full system upgrade can lead to unsupported partial upgrades [1][2]. Specifically, the Arch Wiki warns against running pacman -Sy <package> or running pacman -Sy followed by pacman -S <package> [1][2]. These operations update your local package database (via the -y flag) but do not upgrade the rest of your system (the -u flag), which can create a mismatch between your system libraries and the new versions of packages you are installing [2]. This scenario is officially unsupported because Arch Linux is a rolling release distribution; upgrading only one package may pull in new dependencies or libraries that are incompatible with existing, un-updated packages on your system, leading to potential breakage [2]. The command recommended by Arch Linux for installing packages while ensuring the system remains in a supported state is: # pacman -Syu By including the -u flag (which stands for --sysupgrade), this command ensures that the system performs a full upgrade alongside the database synchronization, maintaining consistency across all installed packages [1][2].

Use pacman -Syu for Arch package installation.

pacman -Sy can create an unsupported partial upgrade. Replace it with pacman -Syu --noconfirm ... in:
