# Redis GUI V1 Acceptance Matrix

Date: 2026-03-27
Owner: QA Engineer

## Evidence Collected On 2026-03-27

- A fresh `cargo test -p redis-core` rerun passes in this session with 16 tests green.
- `pnpm install --lockfile-only` passes at repository root after adding `pnpm-workspace.yaml`.
- `pnpm run desktop:build` passes and emits `apps/desktop/dist/`.
- `pnpm run desktop:tauri:build` now completes Linux `.deb` and `.rpm` artifact generation under `target/release/bundle/`, then fails later in the AppImage stage with `io: Connection reset by peer (os error 104)`.
- The repository now contains a Rust workspace, a React workspace UI baseline, Tauri commands for connection testing and command execution, and shared frontend scope documentation.
- Browser dev mode still uses demo data for shell review, while Tauri desktop mode can now exercise live connection-test, key browse, value read/write, and command-execution bridges.
- A repeatable local Redis fixture and smoke runbook now exist in `scripts/redis-fixture/` and `docs/qa/local-desktop-smoke.md`.

## Matrix

| Scope | Happy Path Acceptance | Failure Path Acceptance | Required Evidence | Current Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Linux app smoke | App installs or launches from a documented command, opens main window, connects to test Redis, exits cleanly | Missing Redis, bad host, bad password, unsupported DB or network loss surface actionable error and app stays stable | Launch steps, versioned artifact or dev command, screenshots, QA run log | Partially blocked: documented fixture and smoke path now exist, but a full Linux launch-and-connect evidence set is still pending |
| macOS app smoke | Same as Linux, using signed or documented macOS artifact | Same failure paths, plus first-run permission or gatekeeper guidance if relevant | Build artifact name, install steps, screenshots, QA run log | Blocked: no validated macOS build or artifact evidence |
| Windows app smoke | Same as Linux, using installer or portable package | Same failure paths, plus Windows-specific install and uninstall validation | Build artifact name, install steps, screenshots, QA run log | Blocked: no validated Windows build or artifact evidence |
| Desktop workspace shell | Rail, browser, inspector, and command tray render together with active connection, build identity, runtime mode, and a copyable QA snapshot visible; command history labels live vs demo results | Empty search state clears the inspector selection, read-only non-string value state, destructive confirmation, and browser-mode demo fallback stay stable and explicit | `npm run desktop:dev` or `npm run desktop:build`, `docs/frontend-workspace-baseline.md`, screenshots or copied QA snapshot text | Pass for shell-level evidence; not a substitute for Redis feature acceptance |
| Connection management | Create a validated draft profile, keep DB context visible, and run the existing live connection-test bridge from Tauri desktop mode | Invalid host, bad port, bad password, duplicate name, timeout, and unreachable server are handled with consistent operator-facing messaging | Tauri run log, screenshots, repeatable steps, Redis target | Partially blocked: the shell now validates draft name/host/port/DB locally, maps backend error codes into shared notices, and calls the real connection-test command, but profile persistence and full evidence capture are not complete |
| Key browsing | Browse DBs and keys, paginate or virtualize large lists, view metadata | Empty DB, deleted key during browse, permission error, and connection drop do not crash UI, and live failures reuse the shared error banner treatment | Seed dataset, result screenshots, observed limits | Partially blocked: desktop UI now calls the live browse bridge with `SCAN` pagination and metadata, but fixture-backed Tauri screenshots and measured limits are still pending |
| Search | Search by key name or pattern and return matching set within documented limits | No matches, invalid pattern, and very large result sets are handled predictably | Seed dataset, search queries, measured behavior | Partially blocked: desktop UI now maps search to live browse requests, but fixture-backed evidence and measured limits are still pending |
| Value editing | Open supported value types, edit, save, and refresh persisted value | Concurrent modification, invalid payload, and permission error preserve user context and surface failure through the shared operator notice layer | Before/after values, screenshots, repeatable steps | Partially blocked: string read/save/refresh is wired through the live desktop bridge, and non-string types now render in structured read-only inspector panels, but fixture-backed evidence and broader editing scope remain pending |
| TTL operations | View TTL, set TTL, remove TTL, and verify expiration behavior | Invalid TTL, already expired key, and permission error handled safely with consistent banner feedback | Seed dataset, timestamps, verification steps | Partially blocked: desktop UI now exposes live TTL set and remove controls through the existing contract, but seeded-fixture validation evidence is still missing |
| Command console | Execute safe Redis commands in Tauri desktop mode and show result or error output with explicit live/demo labeling | Invalid command, long-running command, and blocked dangerous command are handled predictably, and backend failures reuse the shared operator notice mapping | Command transcript, screenshots, allow or deny rules | Partially blocked: the desktop UI now calls the real command execution bridge, but it is not yet validated against a shared live Redis fixture and dangerous mutations still stay blocked at shell level |
| Dangerous operation confirmation | Delete, flush, overwrite, or destructive commands require explicit confirmation | Cancel path does not mutate data; confirm path mutates only intended scope | Confirmation UX screenshots, before/after data | Blocked: feature not implemented |
| Installer and packaging | Package metadata, icon, version, and uninstall behavior are correct on each target OS | Corrupt install, upgrade, downgrade, and missing dependency behavior are documented or handled | Artifact checklist, install logs, uninstall evidence | Partially blocked: Linux `.deb` and `.rpm` artifacts now exist, but AppImage failed and install or uninstall evidence is still absent |

## Current Acceptance Judgment

- No Redis-backed Redis GUI V1 feature acceptance item can be marked passed on 2026-03-27.
- Current repository state now supports shell-level frontend acceptance and partial backend feature review: the React workspace shell builds, live desktop bridges exist for connection test, browse, value read/write, and command execution, draft-validation and empty-state behavior are explicit, and shared UI scope documentation is present in-repo.
- Rust source-level test evidence is now current for `redis-core`, Linux package artifacts exist for `.deb` and `.rpm`, but live Redis screenshots and installation evidence are still required.
- QA can now reuse the documented fixture and smoke path, but feature acceptance and release sign-off remain blocked on end-to-end desktop evidence.
