Frontend Demo-State Hardening

Date: 2026-03-31 UTC Owner: Senior Frontend Engineer Scope: desktop-v1 frontend hardening only

Context

  • apps/desktop is already the active frontend entry and contains the current four-zone Redis operator workspace.
  • PM scope on 2026-03-31 did not approve new desktop-v1 features such as Add Key, bilingual UI, or a visual refresh.
  • Browser dev mode remains the primary shell-review path when Tauri runtime is unavailable.

Problem

  • In browser demo mode, the UI currently claims string save and TTL actions succeeded, but the visible mock key state does not update.
  • That mismatch weakens shell review because browser-mode interaction feedback is less trustworthy even though it is explicitly demo-only.

Decision

  • Do not expand product scope.
  • Keep the existing workspace information architecture and current visual system.
  • Harden browser demo mode so session-local mock interactions update the visible browser, inspector, and command context consistently.

Planned Implementation

  1. Replace static demo key usage in apps/desktop/src/App.tsx with local state derived from the existing seed data.
  2. Extract demo-state mutation helpers for:
    • string value save
    • TTL set
    • TTL remove
  3. Add focused frontend tests for those helpers.
  4. Update shared run and QA docs to state that browser demo mode now supports session-local mock state changes, but still does not provide live Redis evidence.

Acceptance

  • In pnpm run desktop:dev, saving a string key updates the visible value surface and downstream mock command behavior for the current session.
  • In pnpm run desktop:dev, TTL set and TTL remove update the visible TTL badges and inspector state for the current session.
  • The UI continues to clearly distinguish browser demo fallback from live Tauri runtime.
  • pnpm --filter @redis-gui/desktop test and pnpm run desktop:build remain green.
