Implementation Plan: Human-Like UX Interaction Test

Phase 1: Infrastructure & Automation Core

Establish the foundation for driving the GUI via API hooks and simulation logic.

• Task: Extend ApiHookClient with methods for tab switching and listbox selection if missing.
• Task: Implement TestUserAgent class to manage dynamic response generation and action delays.
• Task: Write Tests (Verify basic hook connectivity and simulated delays)
• Task: Implement basic 'ping-pong' interaction via hooks.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Infrastructure & Automation Core' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 2: Workflow Simulation

Build the core interaction loop for project creation and AI discussion.

• Task: Implement 'New Project' scaffolding script (creating a tiny console program).
• Task: Implement 5-turn discussion loop logic with sub-agent responses.
• Task: Write Tests (Verify state changes in Discussion Hub during simulated chat)
• Task: Implement 'Thinking' and 'Live' indicator verification logic.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Workflow Simulation' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 3: History & Session Verification

Simulate complex session management and historical audit features.

• Task: Implement discussion switching logic (creating/switching between named discussions).
• Task: Implement 'Load Prior Log' simulation and 'Tinted Mode' detection.
• Task: Write Tests (Verify log loading and tab navigation consistency)
• Task: Implement truncation limit verification (forcing a long history and checking bleed).
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: History & Session Verification' (Protocol in workflow.md)

Phase 4: Final Integration & Regression

Consolidate the simulation into end-user artifacts and CI tests.

• Task: Create live_walkthrough.py with full visual feedback and manual sign-off.
• Task: Create tests/test_live_workflow.py for automated regression testing.
• Task: Perform a full visual walkthrough and verify 'human-readable' pace.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Final Integration & Regression' (Protocol in workflow.md)
