Current Phase Evidence Loop

Date: 2026-03-31 Owner: QA Engineer Issue: HAC-33

Scope Boundary Aligned On 2026-03-31

• Current phase is desktop-v1 baseline hardening and acceptance closure, as defined in docs/redis-gui-v1-product-requirements.md, plans/2026-03-31-redis-gui-v1-status-refresh.md, and plans/2026-03-31-cto-handoff-current-phase.md.
• Current-phase acceptance is limited to the existing operator loop: connect, browse, inspect, string save, TTL update, and safe command execution in live Tauri runtime.
• Add Key exists in the checked-out repository, but PM classification still keeps it in desktop-v1.1; it must not be folded into current-baseline acceptance or release claims.
• Real delete remains unimplemented and must stay outside shipped-current-phase capability claims.

Execution Issue Evidence Map

Issue	What It Owns	Evidence References	QA Readout On 2026-03-31	Open Risk
HAC-15	Stable Linux build, package, fixture, and smoke path foundation	plans/2026-03-27-hac-15-desktop-build-smoke.md, docs/qa/local-desktop-smoke.md, docs/qa/verification-path-inventory.md, docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md	Passed for repeatable command-level Linux evidence: cargo test -p redis-core, pnpm --filter @redis-gui/desktop test, pnpm run desktop:build, pnpm run desktop:tauri:build, and fixture scripts are reproducible in this session.	Does not provide real-window smoke, Linux install or uninstall proof, or any macOS or Windows evidence.
HAC-19	Local smoke assist surface for faster operator verification	plans/2026-03-28-hac-19-local-smoke-assist.md, docs/frontend-workspace-baseline.md, docs/qa/local-desktop-smoke.md, docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md	Passed at shell-level evidence: smoke fixture path is documented in-repo, visible in the product surface, and reproducible from the current tree.	Still depends on a GUI-capable desktop session to turn the assisted path into release-grade live smoke evidence.
HAC-22	DB switcher hardening inside current phase	plans/2026-03-31-hac-22-db-switcher-hardening.md, docs/redis-gui-v1-product-requirements.md, docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md	Passed at command-level regression evidence: the frontend baseline now covers the wider DB selector path and remains green under the current desktop test/build commands.	Live Tauri screenshots or run logs for DB switching are still absent in this headless QA session.
HAC-26	Frontend workspace-state foundation and browser-demo hardening	plans/2026-03-31-hac-26-workspace-state-foundation.md, plans/2026-03-31-frontend-demo-state-hardening.md, docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md	Passed at regression-baseline level: pnpm --filter @redis-gui/desktop test now passes 8 files and 29 tests, and browser-shell build remains reproducible.	Browser-demo hardening improves shell review only; it does not satisfy live Redis acceptance without Tauri smoke evidence.
HAC-27	Manual GUI smoke and AppImage install verification	docs/qa/acceptance-matrix.md, docs/qa/release-readiness-checklist.md, docs/qa/verification-path-inventory.md	Blocked in this environment: target/release/desktop-shell fails with Failed to initialize GTK because the session has no DISPLAY, WAYLAND_DISPLAY, or xvfb-run, and pnpm run desktop:tauri:build:all still fails with failed to run linuxdeploy.	Real-window smoke, Linux install or uninstall proof, and AppImage validation still require a GUI-capable Linux session plus follow-up evidence capture.
HAC-24 / HAC-25	Future-phase Add Key implementation and QA coverage	plans/2026-03-31-hac-24-add-key-frontend.md, docs/redis-gui-v1-product-requirements.md, plans/2026-03-31-hac-21-execution-split.md	Explicitly excluded from current-phase sign-off. Repository presence is recorded as next-phase inventory only.	Scope leakage would weaken current-baseline acceptance if this capability is treated as already approved release scope.

Current Phase Judgment

• Command-level Linux evidence is closed enough to support an honest phase readout: build, package, browser-shell startup, fixture success path, and one fixture failure path are reproducible from the checked-out tree.
• Current phase is not accepted yet. Required live Tauri smoke evidence for connect, browse, inspect, string save, TTL update, and safe command execution is still missing.
• Current release readiness remains blocked by four named gaps:
  • no GUI-capable Linux session for real-window smoke capture
  • AppImage still fails in the linuxdeploy stage
  • Linux install and uninstall evidence has not been captured
  • macOS and Windows evidence is still absent

Alignment Summary

• PM acceptance boundary is repo-local and inspectable through docs/redis-gui-v1-product-requirements.md and plans/2026-03-31-redis-gui-v1-status-refresh.md.
• CTO execution priority is consistent with QA findings: unblock GUI smoke first, keep Linux package evidence repeatable, and treat AppImage plus cross-platform gaps as explicit risks instead of implied passes.
• This issue closes the evidence-summary loop for the current phase. It does not clear the blocked acceptance items tracked through HAC-27 and the release-readiness checklist.
