QA Gauntlet UI — Smoke / Pressure (not UAT)

Owns: automated game-UI gates for C2 chrome / presentation Surfaces.
Does not own: headless Demo ladder oracles (/qa-gauntlet), forge/calibrate/stress sim axes, or manual UAT (/team-qa, /smoke-check human batches).

Manual UAT → /team-qa (and /smoke-check for sprint hand-off). Do not invent a second human click-through loop here.

When to invoke

Trigger	Action
/team-qa-gauntlet --mode ui or ui-smoke	This skill (full package)
/qa-gauntlet-ui	This skill
Presentation defect mid-ladder	Still /qa-gauntlet-remediation + UCA — this skill is proactive gates

Hard invariants

• ZERO-touch DelegationBridge.cs; Baltic v2 hash 17144800277401907079 preserved.
• Prefer headless dotnet test before Editor Play Mode; UI is a client (ADR-010).
• Script-first: LLM never overrides a failed signoff PASS line or dotnet non-zero exit.
• On any red gate → dispatch /qa-gauntlet-remediation (UCA / pr-finish required for UnityAdapter / Presentation / C2 Surfaces). Cite ADR-010 §2–3, ADR-007, ADR-001.

Run identity

RUN_ID = <arg> | gauntlet-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M)-ui
RUN_DIR = production/qa/gauntlet/<RUN_ID>/

Create at start: ui/, ui/signoff/, run-id.txt, git-sha.txt, branch.txt, manifest.yaml (fill verdict at end), AAR.md (from template below).

Package (hard-coded — do not freestyle)

1) Headless UI / C2 / Presentation suite (“118-style” filter)

set -euo pipefail
export PATH="${HOME}/.dotnet:${PATH}"
UA_TEST="src/ProjectAegis.Delegation.UnityAdapter.Tests/ProjectAegis.Delegation.UnityAdapter.Tests.csproj"

require_passed_floor() {
  local log="$1" min="$2" label="$3"
  local passed
  passed="$(grep -Eo 'Passed:[[:space:]]*[0-9]+' "$log" | tail -1 | grep -Eo '[0-9]+' || true)"
  if [ -z "$passed" ]; then
    echo "FATAL: could not parse Passed count from ${log} (${label})" >&2
    exit 1
  fi
  if [ "$passed" -lt "$min" ]; then
    echo "FATAL: ${label} passed=${passed} floor=${min}" >&2
    exit 1
  fi
}

dotnet test "$UA_TEST" \
  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~PlayModeSmoke|FullyQualifiedName~Presentation|FullyQualifiedName~C2|FullyQualifiedName~MapPlaceholder|FullyQualifiedName~MapCanvas|FullyQualifiedName~UnityCsharpScriptHygiene|FullyQualifiedName~Panel|FullyQualifiedName~MessageLog|FullyQualifiedName~SensorC2|FullyQualifiedName~UiIa" \
  -v minimal --nologo | tee "${RUN_DIR}/ui/dotnet-ui-suite.log"
require_passed_floor "${RUN_DIR}/ui/dotnet-ui-suite.log" 118 "UI/C2/Presentation suite"

dotnet test "$UA_TEST" \
  --filter "FullyQualifiedName~UiIa" \
  -v minimal --nologo | tee "${RUN_DIR}/ui/dotnet-uiia.log"
require_passed_floor "${RUN_DIR}/ui/dotnet-uiia.log" 11 "UiIa oracles"

Floor: 0 failures and mandatory discovery floors (zero-match is FAIL). Combined suite ≥118 passed (PlayModeSmoke family included; AGENTS.md PlayModeSmokeHarness ≥20/20). Dedicated FullyQualifiedName~UiIa ≥11. Layout/visuals and manual UAT are not covered.

2) ReplayGolden family

dotnet test "$UA_TEST" \
  --filter ReplayGolden -v minimal --nologo | tee "${RUN_DIR}/ui/replay-golden.log"
require_passed_floor "${RUN_DIR}/ui/replay-golden.log" 6 "ReplayGolden"

Floor: 0 failures and ≥6 passed (AGENTS.md ReplayGolden 6/6). Reference total for the family may be higher (e.g. 17) — never treat a 0-discovery green as PASS.

3) Unity Editor C2 Play Mode signoffs (×5)

Editor: Hub version must match unity/ProjectAegis/ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt (pinned 6000.3.14f1). Default path Linux: $HOME/Unity/Hub/Editor/<ver>/Editor/Unity.

VER="$(awk -F': ' '/^m_EditorVersion:/{print $2; exit}' unity/ProjectAegis/ProjectSettings/ProjectVersion.txt)"
UNITY="${UNITY:-$HOME/Unity/Hub/Editor/${VER}/Editor/Unity}"
PROJ="unity/ProjectAegis"
for METHOD in RunBatch RunClassifyBatch RunDoctrineBatch RunImportBatch RunBeginExecutionBatch; do
  set +e
  timeout 300s "$UNITY" -batchmode -nographics \
    -projectPath "$PROJ" \
    -executeMethod "ProjectAegis.Unity.Editor.C2PlayModeSignoffBatchRunner.${METHOD}" \
    -logFile "${RUN_DIR}/ui/signoff/${METHOD}.log"
  status=$?
  set -e
  if [ "$status" -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "FATAL: Unity ${METHOD} exit ${status}" >&2
    exit "$status"
  fi
  grep -q 'C2PlayModeSignoffBatchRunner PASS:' "${RUN_DIR}/ui/signoff/${METHOD}.log" || exit 1
done

Method	Scenario (signoff)
RunBatch	baltic-patrol-comms
RunClassifyBatch	baltic-patrol-classify
RunDoctrineBatch	baltic-patrol-mission-roe
RunImportBatch	baltic-patrol-classify
RunBeginExecutionBatch	baltic-patrol-classify

--skip-signoff only when Editor unavailable — mark AAR BLOCKED (signoff) and do not claim full UI PASS.

4) Invariants snippet → ui/invariants.txt

• grep -r 17144800277401907079 tests/ data/ (hits > 0)
• Confirm no intentional DelegationBridge.cs edits in the working tree for this run

5) Failure routing

Failure	Route
dotnet UI suite / ReplayGolden red	/qa-gauntlet-remediation (TDD); UCA if Surface is presentation
Signoff FAIL / SIGNOFF_ERROR: / missing PASS	Same; prefer reproduction via failing headless test first
Compile / plugin DLL	Refresh tools/copy-delegation-assemblies.sh, re-run; still remediation if code fix
Manual visual/feel gaps	Stop — hand off to /team-qa / /smoke-check (not this skill)

AAR template

Write production/qa/gauntlet/<RUN_ID>/AAR.md:

# Gauntlet UI-track AAR — <RUN_ID>

**Team:** `/team-qa-gauntlet --mode ui` → `/qa-gauntlet-ui`
**Verdict:** PASS | FAIL | BLOCKED

| Gate | Result |
|------|--------|
| Headless UI/C2/Presentation suite | N/N |
| IA oracles (`UiIa`) | N/N |
| ReplayGolden filter | N/N |
| C2 signoff ×5 | PASS/FAIL each |
| Hash / DelegationBridge | OK / note |
| Remediation / UCA | N/A \| dispatched `<ids>` |

**Manual UAT:** not in scope — use `/team-qa` / `/smoke-check`.
**Ladder:** not run — use `/qa-gauntlet` / `--mode ladder`.

Also write manifest.yaml with track: game-ui, gate exits, and remediation_required.

Success

• All automated gates green or defects filed + /qa-gauntlet-remediation invoked.
• Artifacts under production/qa/gauntlet/<RUN_ID>/.
• No claim of manual UAT completion.
• No edits to /qa-gauntlet ladder contract for UI purposes.
