+# Specification: Extended GUI Simulation Testing
+
+## Overview
+This track aims to expand the test simulation suite by introducing comprehensive, in-breadth tests that cover all facets of the GUI interaction. The original small test simulation will be preserved as a useful baseline. The new extended tests will be structured as multiple focused, modular scripts rather than a single long-running journey, ensuring maintainability and targeted coverage.
+
+## Scope
+The extended simulation tests will cover the following key GUI workflows and panels:
+- **Context & Chat:** Testing the core Context and Discussion panels, including history management and context aggregation.
+- **AI Settings:** Validating AI settings manipulation, model switching, and provider changes (Gemini/Anthropic).
+- **Tools & Search:** Exercising file exploration, MCP-like file tools, and web search capabilities.
+- **Execution & Modals:** Testing the generation, explicit confirmation via modals, and execution of PowerShell scripts.
+
+## Functional Requirements
+1. **Modular Test Architecture:** Implement a suite of independent simulation scripts under the `simulation/` or `tests/` directory (e.g., `sim_context.py`, `sim_tools.py`, `sim_execution.py`).
+2. **Preserve Baseline:** Ensure the existing small test simulation remains functional and untouched.
+3. **Comprehensive Coverage:** Each modular script must focus on a specific, complex interaction workflow, simulating human-like usage via the existing IPC/API hooks mechanism.
+4. **Validation and Checkpointing:** Each script must include assertions to verify the GUI state, confirming that the expected panels are rendered, inputs are accepted, and actions produce the correct results.
+
+## Non-Functional Requirements
+- **Maintainability:** The modular design should make it easy to add or update specific workflows in the future.
+- **Performance:** Tests should run reliably without causing the GUI framework to lock up, utilizing the event-driven architecture properly.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+- [ ] A new suite of modular simulation scripts is created.
+- [ ] The existing test simulation is untouched and remains functional.
+- [ ] The new tests run successfully and pass all verifications via the automated API hook mechanism.
+- [ ] The scripts cover all four major GUI areas identified in the scope.
