# Shortcut Sage - Status Check & Progress Update

**Date**: 2025-11-11
**Branch**: `claude/status-check-progress-011CV1gCL7xr9j4fjA37PKFr`
**Focus**: Environment setup, test verification, and forward planning

---

## Executive Summary

Conducted status check of Shortcut Sage project in headless Linux environment. Verified core functionality with 81 passing tests, fixed pytest configuration for headless CI/CD, and confirmed project is ready to advance from PR-05 (Overlay UI documentation) to PR-06 (End-to-End Integration).

**Key Achievements:**
- ✅ Set up Python 3.11 virtual environment with dependencies
- ✅ Fixed pytest-qt configuration for headless environments
- ✅ Verified 81 core tests passing (excluding Qt/DBus tests requiring full stack)
- ✅ Confirmed codebase structure and overlay implementation complete
- ✅ Identified clear path forward to PR-06

---

## Environment Setup

### System Configuration
- **Platform**: Linux 4.4.0
- **Python**: 3.11.14
- **Environment**: Headless (no X11/Wayland display)
- **Working Directory**: `/home/user/ShortcutSage`

### Dependencies Installed
Created fresh virtual environment and installed:
- Core: PySide6, pydantic, pyyaml, watchdog
- Testing: pytest, pytest-cov
- Development: ruff, mypy, types-PyYAML

**Note**: DBus-related dependencies (dbus-python, python-dbusmock) skipped due to missing system libraries (libdbus-1-dev). These are optional and tests can run in fallback mode.

---

## Test Results

### Test Execution
```bash
pytest tests/unit/ tests/integration/ \
--ignore=tests/unit/test_overlay.py \
--ignore=tests/integration/test_dbus.py \
-p no:pytest-qt
```

### Results
- **Tests Passed**: 81/81
- **Runtime**: 2.40s
- **Coverage**: 58.76% (expected in headless environment)
- **Excluded**: overlay and dbus tests requiring graphics/system libs

### Coverage Breakdown
**Excellent Coverage (95%+):**
- `buffer.py`: 97.22%
- `config.py`: 95.65%
- `events.py`: 95.00%
- `features.py`: 100.00%
- `models.py`: 94.06%

**Good Coverage (75-94%):**
- `watcher.py`: 89.83%
- `policy.py`: 76.79%
- `telemetry.py`: 72.80%
- `matcher.py`: 68.18%

**Expected Lower Coverage:**
- `overlay.py`: 0.00% (requires Qt graphics stack)
- `dbus_daemon.py`: 49.75% (partial coverage, DBus tests skipped)
- `dbus_client.py`: 0.00% (requires DBus system bus)

---

## Changes Made

### 1. pytest Configuration Fix
**File**: `pyproject.toml`

**Change**: Added `-p no:pytest-qt` to pytest addopts

**Rationale**:
- pytest-qt plugin requires full Qt graphics stack (libEGL.so.1)
- Headless environments (Docker, CI runners, SSH sessions) lack these libraries
- Disabling plugin allows core tests to run without graphics
- Qt-specific tests can still be run by removing flag when needed

**Impact**:
- ✅ Enables testing in headless CI/CD environments
- ✅ Maintains ability to run full UI tests in graphical environments
- ✅ Reduces friction for development in various environments

---

## Current Project State

### Completed PRs (Merged to Master)
1. **PR-02: Engine Core** ✅
- RingBuffer, FeatureExtractor, RuleMatcher, PolicyEngine
- Comprehensive unit and integration tests
- 85+ tests covering event handling and rule matching

2. **PR-03: DBus IPC** ✅
- DBus service and client implementation
- Event sending and suggestion signal broadcasting
- Cross-platform fallback support

3. **PR-04: KWin Event Monitor** ✅
- KWin JavaScript event capture script
- Desktop switch, window focus, show desktop events
- Configurable window title capture

### Current Focus: PR-05 Overlay UI
**Status**: Code complete, documentation in progress

**What Exists**:
- ✅ `sage/overlay.py` - PySide6 overlay window implementation
- ✅ `SuggestionChip` widget with key + description display
- ✅ DBus signal listener integration
- ✅ CLI entry points (`shortcut-sage daemon`, `shortcut-sage overlay`)
- ✅ Demo mode (`--demo` flag)
- ✅ E2E test: `tests/e2e/test_overlay_signal.py`

**What's Needed** (per PR-05 checklist):
- ⏳ Manual testing on actual KDE Plasma environment
- ⏳ Screenshots/screen recordings of overlay in action
- ⏳ PR narrative documentation
- ⏳ Formal PR creation

**Blocker for This Session**:
- Headless environment cannot render PySide6 windows
- No KDE Plasma available for manual testing
- Requires graphical Linux desktop (e.g., Nobara desktop at 192.168.1.69)

---

## Analysis & Recommendations

### PR-05 Assessment
The overlay implementation is **functionally complete**:
- All code written and in `sage/overlay.py`
- Unit test structure in place
- CLI integration working
- E2E smoke test exists

The remaining PR-05 tasks are **validation-focused**:
- Manual QA on real KDE Plasma
- Visual verification (screenshots)
- Documentation writeup

**Recommendation**: PR-05 can be considered "code complete" and ready for formal PR once manual testing is performed on a graphical environment.

### Path Forward Options

#### Option A: Complete PR-05 Documentation (Defer Testing)
**Effort**: 1-2 hours
**Environment**: Can be done in headless

**Tasks**:
1. Write PR-05 narrative documentation
2. Update README with overlay usage instructions
3. Create PR-05 pull request with "Needs Manual Testing" label
4. Document manual testing steps for future execution

**Pros**:
- Maintains PR chain momentum
- Documents current state
- Clear handoff for manual testing

**Cons**:
- PR cannot be merged without manual validation
- Visual artifacts missing

#### Option B: Begin PR-06 (End-to-End Integration)
**Effort**: 4-6 hours
**Environment**: Requires KDE Plasma for full validation

**Tasks**:
1. Create E2E test infrastructure
2. Implement golden scenarios (full pipeline)
3. Add latency measurement
4. Test config hot-reload in running system

**Pros**:
- Advances MVP to completion
- Builds upon complete PR-05 code
- Can be developed in parallel with PR-05 validation

**Cons**:
- Still requires graphical environment for full E2E
- May discover issues requiring PR-05 fixes

#### Option C: Dual Track (Recommended)
**Approach**: Document PR-05 + Begin PR-06 design

**Phase 1** (Current Session - Headless OK):
1. ✅ Verify test infrastructure works
2. ✅ Fix pytest configuration
3. 📝 Create PR-05 documentation
4. 📝 Design PR-06 test scenarios (no execution yet)

**Phase 2** (Future Session - Needs Graphics):
1. Execute PR-05 manual tests on Nobara desktop
2. Capture screenshots/recordings
3. Finalize PR-05 pull request
4. Execute PR-06 E2E tests
5. Complete MVP! 🎉

## Questions & Decisions

### Environment Strategy
**Decision Made**: Use headless environment for core development, defer graphical tests to KDE desktop sessions.

**Rationale**:
- Core logic (buffer, matcher, policy) fully testable headless
- UI components require visual verification anyway
- Faster iteration on core features

### PR-05 vs PR-06 Priority
**Recommendation**: Document PR-05 now, execute validation later.

**Rationale**:
- PR-05 code is complete
- Documentation can be written without graphics
- Unblocks PR-06 design work
- Manual testing is final validation step, not blocker

### Testing Strategy
**Confirmed**: Tiered testing approach works well:
1. **Headless**: Unit tests, integration tests, core logic
2. **Graphics**: UI tests, overlay rendering, E2E scenarios
3. **CI/CD**: Automated headless tests, manual validation gates

## Technical Notes

### pytest-qt Plugin Behavior
The pytest-qt plugin automatically activates when installed, attempting to import Qt during pytest initialization. This happens before any test code runs and before environment variables are processed.

**Solutions Attempted**:
- ❌ Setting `QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen` env var → Too late in init
- ❌ Adding `env` to pytest.ini_options → Not a valid pytest option
- ✅ Adding `-p no:pytest-qt` to addopts → Disables plugin entirely

**Best Practice**: In CI/CD environments without graphics, either:
1. Don't install pytest-qt (if UI tests not needed)
2. Use `-p no:pytest-qt` flag (allows selective enabling)
3. Install full graphics stack (if UI tests required)

### DBus Testing on Linux
DBus tests failed due to missing `python-dbusmock` package. This requires:
- System libdbus-1-dev package
- Python dbus-python (compiles against libdbus-1)
- python-dbusmock for test mocking

**Workaround**: Tests have fallback mode (`enable_dbus=False`) that works without DBus installed. This is sufficient for unit testing.

The comment "Run with UI tests (requires graphics)" is contradictory with the command that includes -p no:pytest-qt. The -p no:pytest-qt flag disables the pytest-qt plugin, which would prevent UI tests from running properly. If the intent is to run UI tests, the flag should be removed. If the intent is to run tests without pytest-qt in a headless environment, the comment should be updated to reflect that.

pytest tests/ -p no:pytest-qt

The comment "Disable pytest-qt in headless environments" is misleading because adding -p no:pytest-qt to the default addopts configuration will disable pytest-qt in ALL environments, not just headless ones. Developers with graphical environments will need to manually override this setting to run Qt tests. Consider either:

  1. Updating the comment to reflect that this disables pytest-qt by default (e.g., "Disable pytest-qt by default for CI/CD compatibility")
  2. Moving this configuration to a separate pytest profile or documenting how to enable it when needed
  3. Using environment variables or a different approach to conditionally disable the plugin only in headless environments

P1 Badge Disable pytest-qt with invalid plugin identifier

The new addopts entry tries to turn off pytest‑qt using -p no:pytest-qt, but pytest matches plugins by their module/entrypoint name (pytestqt), not the package name with a hyphen. Because the identifier doesn’t match, the plugin still loads and will keep importing PySide during test startup, so headless runs will crash with the same libEGL.so.1 errors this change aimed to avoid. Use -p no:pytestqt (and update the accompanying docs) so the plugin is actually skipped in headless environments.
