# HAC-18 Typed Inspector Panels

Date: 2026-03-28 UTC
Owner: Senior Frontend Engineer
Issue: HAC-18

## Goal

Ship one more visible desktop feature slice without waiting on GUI screenshot capture or AppImage validation.

## Selected Scope

- upgrade the inspector for non-string Redis values from raw JSON text to structured read-only panels
- keep the existing string edit flow, TTL actions, and error notice foundation unchanged
- stay within the current `read_redis_value` contract and avoid backend expansion
- add minimum frontend tests around the new structured presentation mapping

## Non-Goals

- no delete execution
- no backend contract changes
- no packaging or screenshot evidence work in this heartbeat
- no full redesign of the existing desktop shell

## Verification Plan

- `pnpm --filter @redis-gui/desktop test`
- `pnpm run desktop:build`

## Expected User Impact

- operators can scan `hash/list/set/zset/stream` payloads directly in the inspector without mentally parsing raw JSON
- the read-only boundary for non-string types remains explicit, but the viewing experience becomes materially more usable
