Implementation Plan: Extended GUI Simulation Testing

Phase 1: Setup and Architecture [checkpoint: b255d4b]

• Task: Review the existing baseline simulation test to identify reusable components or fixtures without modifying the original. a0b1c2d
• Task: Design the modular structure for the new simulation scripts within the simulation/ directory. e1f2g3h
• Task: Create a base test configuration or fixture that initializes the GUI with the --enable-test-hooks flag and the ApiHookClient for API testing. i4j5k6l
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 1: Setup and Architecture' (Protocol in workflow.md) m7n8o9p

Phase 2: Context and Chat Simulation [checkpoint: a77d0e7]

• Task: Create the test script sim_context.py focused on the Context and Discussion panels. q1r2s3t
• Task: Simulate file aggregation interactions and context limit verification. u4v5w6x
• Task: Implement history generation and test chat submission via API hooks. y7z8a9b
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 2: Context and Chat Simulation' (Protocol in workflow.md) c1d2e3f

Phase 3: AI Settings and Tools Simulation [checkpoint: 760eec2]

• Task: Create the test script sim_ai_settings.py for AI model configuration changes (Gemini/Anthropic). g1h2i3j
• Task: Create the test script sim_tools.py focusing on file exploration, search, and MCP-like tool triggers. k4l5m6n
• Task: Validate proper panel rendering and data updates via API hooks for both AI settings and tool results. o7p8q9r
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 3: AI Settings and Tools Simulation' (Protocol in workflow.md) s1t2u3v

Phase 4: Execution and Modals Simulation

• [~] Task: Create the test script sim_execution.py.
• Task: Simulate the AI generating a PowerShell script that triggers the explicit confirmation modal.
• Task: Assert the modal appears correctly and accepts input/approval from the simulated user.
• Task: Validate the executed output via API hooks.
• Task: Conductor - User Manual Verification 'Phase 4: Execution and Modals Simulation' (Protocol in workflow.md)
