Summary

  • add a persistent-session, late-bound proptest UI walker for keyboard, mouse, scroll, resize, and paste events
  • check reducer and render invariants at the initial state, after every user action, before host replies, and after every host action
  • add a deterministic in-memory host, virtual file picker source, model-backed library/add/settings/preferences/runner/run flows, and selector/CAS sanity checks
  • emit minimal replay JSON and asciicast v3 frames, then render pinned agg GIF artifacts in a nightly, manual, or label-requested workflow
  • expose production-sourced local TUI action inventories and fix the footer, overlay, dropdown, and typed Run-control parity defects that the walker found

Design note

The issue proposes proptest-state-machine. This implementation uses plain proptest with late-bound semantic operations. The state-machine crate generates its transition list from an abstract reference state before it executes the system under test. It cannot bias each next event from the live LibraryState, persistent TuiSession, and latest ViewGeometry without either duplicating the reducer or reducing transitions to late-bound selectors. A plain shrinking vector preserves the live-state design, avoids a second model that can share the product bug, and still produces a minimal replay.

The driver observes the motivating bug class before it services the host effect. It renders and checks ConfirmDraftDelete(true) while the delete request is still in flight.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TUI now uses typed local actions, ownership-aware footer bindings, deterministic in-memory pickers, and isolated session targets. A model-based walker validates state, input parity, liveness, replay, and rendering. CI runs the walker, renders casts, and uploads diagnostics.

Changes

TUI input routing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Typed action and footer contracts
crates/skit-tui/src/local_action.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/footer.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/lib.rs
Typed keys and advertised actions now connect keyboard and mouse inputs. Footer bindings are filtered by widget and overlay ownership.
Screen-local action advertising
crates/skit-tui/src/screens/add.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/screens/management.rs
Add and management screens advertise visible actions and dispatch matching typed keys.
Session routing and picker state
crates/skit-tui/src/session.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/screens/picker.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/screens/run_modal.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/screens/preferences.rs, crates/skit-tui/src/screens/settings.rs
TuiSession routes private targets, suppresses stale overlay geometry, supports cloning, and configures deterministic in-memory picker trees.
Input regression coverage
crates/skit-tui/tests/interactive_run_form.rs, crates/skit-tui/tests/port_test_draft_and_reader_tui.rs, crates/skit-tui/tests/port_test_tui_nav.rs, crates/skit-tui/tests/render.rs, crates/skit-ui/tests/reducer.rs
Tests cover typed field hits, widget-owned keys, modal ownership, wrapped focus navigation, live rendering, and reducer focus actions.

Model walker and CI

Layer / File(s) Summary
Model walker and asciicast recorder
crates/skit-tui/tests/model_walker/*
The new walker generates keyboard, mouse, resize, paste, focus, and local-action operations. It checks invariants, parity, liveness, fake-host effects, replay, and deterministic asciicast output.
CI execution and contracts
.github/workflows/ui-walker.yml, scripts/test_tooling_contracts.sh, crates/skit-tui/Cargo.toml
CI runs the bounded walker, installs a pinned agg binary, renders casts, uploads artifacts, and validates the workflow structure and development dependencies.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5632e

The PR adds broad deterministic UI testing and related TUI fixes, but the current changes can still panic during Preferences focus handling and dispatch stale footer mouse actions after a view change; one test can also hang instead of reporting a regression. The PR is not fully merge-ready until these bounded issues are fixed or explicitly accepted.

894-900: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject stale footer mouse actions.

The key path validates cached footer actions against the current view. The mouse path does not. If the view changes before the next render, a click on a cached list footer can return New or Back while an action or removal overlay is active.

Apply manager_action_is_current before returning a footer mouse action.

Avoid the panic when the Preferences focus ring is empty.

TuiSession::handle_event can call PreferencesWidgetSession::move_focus_action before PreferencesWidgetSession::sync registers controls. In that state, focus.current() is None, so expect can panic. Preserve the fallible result and map an empty ring to EventHandling::Consumed, or synchronize Preferences before moving focus.

Centralize the picker-construction branch.

This Some(source) => with_memory_source / None => new selection is duplicated in crates/skit-tui/src/session.rs (handle_add_event, add-overlay construction). A future change to memory-backed construction must then be applied twice. Add one constructor on FilePickerSession that accepts the optional source, and call it from both sites.

Merge the two hit loops to remove the duplicated click derivation.

Both loops iterate geometry.hits, apply the same zero-area skip, build the same left-click event, and call expected_hit_action with the same arguments. The click formula therefore exists twice. If one copy changes, the map_event check and the session check compare different cells, and the parity guarantee weakens without a test failure.

Keep the bounds check first inside a single loop, then run the session parity work with the click and expected values already computed.

Reuse one binding_event helper.

strategy.rs defines an identical binding_event at Lines 399-421 of that file. Both files belong to the same test binary. Export the strategy.rs copy as pub(super) and import it here, so the UiKey-to-KeyCode map has one definition.

Extract one artifact-writing helper.

write_failure_artifacts and write_success_artifacts repeat the same sequence: create the directory, stage a tempdir_in with a dot prefix, write the cast, write repro.json, call keep(), strip the leading dot, and rename. Only the prefix, the cast file name, and the JSON body differ. The staging and atomic-rename logic is the delicate part, and a correction applied to one copy will not reach the other.

Extract a private helper that accepts the prefix, the cast file name, the cast bytes, and the already-built JSON value, and let both functions call it.

Anchor this regression test to the dropdown state it protects.

The four operations select commands and hits by ordinal. choose in strategy.rs maps each ordinal modulo the live command or hit list, so the selected command changes whenever a UiCommand spec is added, removed, or reordered, or whenever a screen enables a different command set.

The only assertion is walker.liveness_checks == walker.checkpoints().len(). That equality holds for any trace in which every checkpoint forked a probe. It does not prove that the trace opened the Run dropdown. If the inventory shifts, this test keeps passing and stops covering the occluded-field-command defect it was written for.

Add assertions that pin the reached state, as the sibling tests at Lines 2028-2039 and 2076-2086 do.

         walker.step(&operation).unwrap();

Strengthen this regression test’s assertions after the operations are executed
so they verify the walker reached the intended Run dropdown state, not merely
that liveness checks match checkpoints. Follow the state assertions used by the
nearby sibling tests and anchor the expected dropdown/open selection state
reached by the four WalkerOperation entries.

Assert the mapped action, not one hard-coded chord.

The test name promises that no shared key selects quit. The assertion only compares the generated chord against Ctrl+C. If UiCommand::Quit gains a second binding, or if another command's binding maps to Action::Quit, this loop still passes. resolve already exposes the semantic check through map_event, so assert on the action instead.

♻️ Proposed stronger assertion
         if let ResolvedOperation::Event(Event::Key(key)) = resolved {
-            assert_ne!(
-                (key.code, key.modifiers),
-                (KeyCode::Char('c'), KeyModifiers::CONTROL),

Bound the focus search.

At Line 338, the loop does not terminate if AddControlId::Candidate(_) is absent from focus traversal. CI then hangs instead of reporting the routing regression. Limit the number of Tab events and assert that the candidate received focus.

Target the existing text field.

registry_states() creates one run-form field at index 0. Line 988 uses field 1, so map_event returns None because the field does not exist. This test does not detect a regression that treats a choice hit on the existing text field as a focus action.

Proposed fix
             action: HitTarget::SelectFieldOption {
-                field: 1,
