id: S07 parent: M001 milestone: M001 provides:

• A slice-level UAT closure artifact that downstream readers can trust without re-reading all task logs.
• A stable evidence seam between the S06 acceptance runner and human-readable daily-loop closure summary.
• A concrete record that the manual-send boundary held in the live localhost pass while Gmail continuity remained an explicit limitation. requires:
• slice: S06 provides: repeatable preflight, acceptance-data seeding, and canonical live acceptance artifacts for the localhost stack
• slice: S05 provides: the shared workflow-signal contract and focused trust-loop regressions that S07 re-used as deterministic proof affects:

• .gsd/DECISIONS.md key_decisions:
• D016: keep docs/s06-acceptance-run.md as the canonical execution log and use S07 closure artifacts to summarize/import the proof instead of duplicating raw runner output.
• Verify the R008 manual-send boundary in this build via visible draft controls plus authenticated GET /api/jobapplications/3/followup-draft and absence of POST /api/jobapplications/3/send-followup during the observed browser pass.
• Record Gmail continuity as a live-environment limitation when linked-thread refresh evidence is not actually surfaced, rather than implying a pass from seeded correspondence alone. patterns_established:
• Use a generated-runner-artifact + human closure summary seam: the runner owns raw evidence, while the slice summary compresses what downstream readers need to know.
• Anchor cross-surface UAT to one seeded job identity so /jobs, workspace, /reminders, and /dashboard can be checked as one coherent object instead of four independent screenshots.
• Pair live browser acceptance evidence with focused deterministic regressions before claiming daily-loop closure. observability_surfaces:

S07: Daily-loop UAT artifact closure

Closed M001’s daily-loop proof with an executed UAT artifact that traces the seeded acceptance job coherently across /jobs, the job workspace, /reminders, and /dashboard while preserving the manual-send boundary and honestly recording the live Gmail-continuity gap.

What Happened

S07 compressed the S06 live acceptance rerun into a downstream-friendly closure artifact instead of leaving the milestone dependent on scattered task logs. The slice established docs/s06-acceptance-run.md as the canonical execution record and treated the S07 closure material as an imported-evidence summary: one seeded job (S06 Acceptance Labs / S06 Acceptance Backend Engineer) is the same object across /jobs, the workspace, /reminders, and /dashboard, with artifact links back to the runner logs, trace, timeline, and page-specific debug bundles. The work also refreshed the closure with current browser evidence and deterministic regression coverage so the slice proves both the live stack behavior and the encoded UI contract.

The executed flow showed the seeded row on /jobs with the expected trust badges, opened the real workspace for that same record, preserved the saved tailored CV and seeded correspondence message, surfaced the same job on /reminders with the expected follow-up date/state, and kept /dashboard counters and top-company activity aligned with the same seed data. The manual-send boundary remained intact: the follow-up UI exposed separate Copy Draft and Send And Log Email actions, an authenticated GET /api/jobapplications/3/followup-draft returned draft content, and no POST /api/jobapplications/3/send-followup request was triggered during the observed browser pass. S07 intentionally did not over-claim Gmail continuity: the correspondence history was visible, but a connected Gmail continuity banner/refresh was not observed in the localhost pass, so the closure records that as a limitation rather than a success.

S07 also preserved the deterministic guardrail around the daily loop. The focused React suites (src/daily-control-loop.test.tsx and src/workflow-trust-signals.test.tsx) remain the encoded cross-surface contract for the same overview/workspace semantics, and the slice documents that future reruns must not claim closure if those suites fail. This gives downstream slices a clear dependency summary: use the S06 runner for fresh live evidence, use the S07 closure artifact for compressed interpretation, and treat Gmail-connected continuity as an environment-dependent follow-up proof rather than something this local pass retired.

Operational Readiness (Q8)

• Health signal: bash scripts/s06-preflight.sh reaches /api/auth/config and returns the expected auth-limited partial pass; bash scripts/s06-acceptance-run.sh finishes pass and refreshes docs/s06-acceptance-run.md; the focused UI regression pair passes with 2/2 suites and 6/6 tests.
• Failure signal: API not listening on http://localhost:5202, acceptance runner failing to seed/update the S06 fixture, the seeded job no longer matching across /jobs/workspace//reminders//dashboard, or any observed POST /api/jobapplications/{id}/send-followup during passive draft review.
• Recovery procedure: start the local API and UI, rerun scripts/s06-preflight.sh, rerun scripts/s06-acceptance-run.sh, repair job-tracker-ui dependencies with npm --prefix job-tracker-ui install if react-scripts is missing, then rerun the focused regression command before claiming closure again.
• Monitoring gaps: the localhost run still lacks a real Gmail-connected refresh proof, and the acceptance pass relies on artifact review rather than a dedicated machine-checked assertion for linked-thread refresh visibility.

Verification

Slice-level verification passed in the target worktree. I reran bash scripts/s06-preflight.sh && bash scripts/s06-acceptance-run.sh && test -s docs/s06-acceptance-run.md && grep -q 'manual-send boundary' docs/s07-uat.md, which passed and refreshed the canonical acceptance artifact with a successful runner result. I also reran CI=true npm --prefix job-tracker-ui test -- --runInBand --watch=false src/daily-control-loop.test.tsx src/workflow-trust-signals.test.tsx && grep -q 'UI regression results' docs/s07-uat.md, which passed with 2 passed, 2 total suites and 6 passed, 6 total tests. The live evidence set confirms the seeded job remains coherent across /jobs, workspace, /reminders, and /dashboard, that the manual-send boundary holds, and that Gmail continuity is still explicitly documented as a limitation in this environment.

Requirements Advanced

• R005 — Added executed UAT evidence showing the seeded job row remains coherent from /jobs into the workspace rather than relying only on prior focused tests.
• R006 — Added executed UAT evidence that /reminders and /dashboard still expose the same seeded job/activity state proven in the live localhost stack.
• R008 — Re-proved the manual-send boundary in the live acceptance pass by observing only draft preparation behavior, a successful follow-up draft GET, and no send-followup POST during passive review.
• R010 — Closed the daily-loop artifact gap by tying one seeded job’s state together across /jobs, workspace, /reminders, and /dashboard with current runner/browser evidence.

Requirements Validated

None.

New Requirements Surfaced

None.

Requirements Invalidated or Re-scoped

None.

Deviations

The slice depended on the S06 live environment being up; the backend was not listening when verification began, so the local API/UI stack had to be brought back up before the acceptance rerun. The focused CRA regression command is also sensitive to install state in this worktree, so the slice documents dependency repair guidance instead of assuming tests always start cleanly.

Known Limitations

This localhost pass still does not prove Gmail-connected linked-thread refresh in a truly configured Gmail session; it only proves the seeded correspondence remains visible and that the limitation is recorded honestly. The focused UI regression output still includes stable React Router future-flag warnings, which are non-blocking but noisy.

Follow-ups

If milestone validation requires a live Gmail-continuity proof rather than an explicitly recorded limitation, rerun the S06 acceptance flow in an environment with a genuinely connected Gmail session and capture linked-thread refresh evidence in the same cross-surface artifact seam.
