## Current Test

[testing paused — 3 items blocked by catalog seed data]

## Tests

### 1. Onboarding triggers on first login
expected: After creating a new account and signing in for the first time, a full-screen onboarding flow appears (not the old small modal wizard).
result: pass

### 2. Welcome step
expected: First screen shows a welcome message with a "Get Started" button. Full-screen, big visuals, immersive feel.
result: pass

### 3. Hobby picker (required step)
expected: Second screen shows hobby cards with icons (Bikepacking, Hiking, Climbing, Cycling, etc.). You can select one or more. This step cannot be skipped.
result: issue
reported: "Works but selected cards need stronger visual distinction — dark gray fill with inverted text/icon instead of just a border change."
severity: cosmetic

### 4. Item browser
expected: After picking a hobby, you see a grid of popular catalog items filtered by that hobby.
result: blocked
blocked_by: server
reason: "Catalog is empty on test server — need some kind of seeding for the test env."

### 5. Review screen
expected: After selecting items, a review/summary screen shows all selections grouped by category.
result: blocked
blocked_by: prior-phase
reason: "Depends on test 4 — catalog seed data needed."

### 6. Completion and collection
expected: After confirming, items are batch-added to collection with auto-created categories.
result: blocked
blocked_by: prior-phase
reason: "Depends on test 4 — catalog seed data needed."

### 7. Onboarding doesn't show again
expected: Refresh the page or sign out and back in. Onboarding does NOT appear again.
result: pass
