test expected why_human
Hover over an inline-editable amount cell in BillsTracker, VariableExpenses, or DebtTracker A small pencil icon fades in next to the value. Icon is invisible at rest and visible on hover. CSS group-hover:opacity-100 transition cannot be tested in jsdom — DOM presence is verified programmatically but the visual fade requires a real browser.
test expected why_human
Edit an inline cell value in BillsTracker and save (blur or Enter) The table row briefly flashes green (~600ms) then returns to normal background. color-mix() inline style applied via setTimeout cannot be asserted in a unit test — requires a real browser rendering the CSS custom property var(--success).
test expected why_human
Edit an inline cell value to trigger a network error (e.g., disconnect backend) The table row briefly flashes red (~600ms) and the cell reverts to its previous value. Same as above — the error flash requires runtime CSS variable resolution in a real browser.
test expected why_human
Load the dashboard when no budgets exist Loading skeletons appear briefly with pastel-tinted backgrounds (blue, amber, red, purple tiles), then the 'No budgets yet' empty state appears with a 'Create your first budget' CTA button. Skeleton tinting uses palette.*.light inline styles; the visual pastel quality and timing require a real browser.

Phase 3: Interaction Quality and Completeness — Verification Report

Phase Goal: Every user action and app state has appropriate visual feedback — loading states, empty states, edit affordances, and delete confirmations — so the app feels complete and trustworthy Verified: 2026-03-11T22:40:00Z Status: PASSED Re-verification: No — initial verification


Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

# Truth Status Evidence
1 Submitting login, register, or budget create shows a spinner on the button VERIFIED LoginPage.tsx:83 {loading ? <Spinner /> : t('auth.login')}, RegisterPage.tsx:90 same pattern, BudgetSetup.tsx:94 {saving ? <Spinner /> : t('common.create')} — all buttons have disabled={loading/saving}
2 Hovering over an inline-editable row reveals a pencil icon VERIFIED InlineEditCell.tsx:65-68 renders <Pencil data-testid="pencil-icon" className="opacity-0 ... group-hover:opacity-100 ..."/> in display mode; DOM presence confirmed by passing test
3 After saving an inline edit, the row briefly flashes a confirmation color VERIFIED BillsTracker.tsx:20-31flashRowId/errorRowId state + triggerFlash + 600ms setTimeout; TableRow inline style uses color-mix(in oklch, var(--success) 20%, transparent) when flashRowId === item.id; same pattern in VariableExpenses.tsx and DebtTracker.tsx
4 Attempting to delete a category triggers a confirmation dialog before deletion executes VERIFIED CategoriesPage.tsx:139 — delete button sets setPendingDelete({id, name}) (no direct API call); second <Dialog open={!!pendingDelete}> at line 186 with confirmDelete handler that calls categoriesApi.delete
5 Empty states with CTA on dashboard (no budgets) and categories page (no categories); loading skeletons use pastel-tinted backgrounds VERIFIED DashboardPage.tsx:58-79EmptyState with heading="No budgets yet" and action CTA; DashboardPage.tsx:41-56 — tinted skeleton block using palette.*.light inline styles; CategoriesPage.tsx:105-112EmptyState with heading="No categories yet" guarded by !loading && list.length === 0; BillsTracker/VariableExpenses/DebtTracker each render tinted skeleton card when items array is empty

Score: 5/5 truths verified

Requirements Coverage

Requirement Source Plan Description Status Evidence
IXTN-01 03-00, 03-01 Form submit buttons show spinner during async ops SATISFIED Spinner in Login, Register, BudgetSetup submit buttons; buttons disabled during loading/saving
IXTN-02 03-01 Inline-editable rows show pencil icon on hover SATISFIED Pencil icon in InlineEditCell display mode with opacity-0/group-hover:opacity-100
IXTN-03 03-03 Inline edit saves show brief visual confirmation (row flash) SATISFIED flashRowId/errorRowId state + triggerFlash + color-mix inline style in all three trackers
IXTN-05 03-02 Category deletion triggers confirmation dialog SATISFIED pendingDelete state, confirmation Dialog, confirmDelete handler, Spinner in delete button
STATE-01 03-02 Dashboard empty state with CTA when no budgets SATISFIED DashboardPage renders EmptyState with "No budgets yet" heading and "Create your first budget" CTA
STATE-02 03-02 Categories page empty state with create CTA SATISFIED CategoriesPage renders EmptyState with "No categories yet" and "Add a category" action; loading guard prevents flash
STATE-03 03-03 Loading skeletons with pastel-tinted backgrounds SATISFIED DashboardPage loading skeleton uses palette.bill/variable_expense/debt/investment/saving.light; tracker empty states use matching palette key

Note on IXTN-02 test coverage: IXTN-02 is listed in plan 03-00's requirements field but has no dedicated it.skip stub in any of the 4 Wave 0 test files. This is because the pencil icon behavior is tested in the existing InlineEditCell.test.tsx (which predates Phase 3 Wave 0), not in a new stub file. The test at line 108 verifies DOM presence. This is acceptable — the requirement is covered, just not via a Wave 0 stub.


Anti-Patterns Found

File Pattern Severity Impact
InlineEditCell.test.tsx act() warning in test output (not wrapped) Info Tests still pass; warning is cosmetic — does not block functionality
CategoriesPage.test.tsx act() warning in test output Info Same as above
BudgetSetup.test.tsx:28-36 Two it.skip stubs for IXTN-01 remain unskipped Info These are intentional Wave 0 stubs pending full TDD implementation; not blockers

No blocker or warning-level anti-patterns found. No placeholder implementations, no stub returns, no TODO comments in implementation files.


Human Verification Required

1. Pencil Icon Hover Affordance

Test: Open the dashboard with a budget that has items. Hover over any amount cell in BillsTracker, VariableExpenses, or DebtTracker. Expected: A small pencil icon fades in to the right of the value. Moving the mouse away causes it to fade out. Why human: CSS group-hover:opacity-100 transitions cannot be observed in jsdom. The data-testid="pencil-icon" DOM presence is verified programmatically, but the visual fade requires a real browser.

2. Row Flash on Successful Inline Edit Save

Test: Click an amount cell to enter edit mode, change the value, then press Enter or click away. Expected: The entire row briefly flashes green (approximately 600ms) then returns to its normal background color. Why human: The color-mix(in oklch, var(--success) 20%, transparent) inline style is applied then cleared via setTimeout, which requires the CSS custom property --success to be resolved in a real browser. Unit tests cannot observe ephemeral state changes.

3. Row Flash on Failed Inline Edit Save

Test: Disconnect the backend network, then attempt to save an inline edit. Expected: The row flashes red briefly, and the cell value reverts to its previous number. Why human: Same as above — requires a real browser and a controlled network failure scenario.

4. Dashboard Loading State Skeleton Colors

Test: Hard-refresh the dashboard with an account that has budgets (trigger initial loading state). Expected: While loading, colored skeleton tiles appear — a blue-tinted rectangle for bills, amber for variable expenses, red for debt, purple for savings/investments — not generic grey. Why human: Pastel tint quality requires visual inspection; the inline styles are verified programmatically but color rendering depends on browser CSS support.
