🧪 How to test 10

Only the items that need more than a glance. Click to expand.

#587 #588 — Summary cards total the whole filtered list

Before: the totals cards counted only the current page, so they under-counted once a list had more than one page.
Now: the cards read server totals over the whole filtered list — all pages, respecting every filter.
Steps:
1. Needs a multi-page list. Admin → Merchants, with more merchants than the page size (a mix of Active + Suspended across pages).
2. Note the Active / Suspended card values and the total count.
3. Page through the list → the card values stay the same and Active + Suspended = total (not just the visible page). Apply a filter → the cards shrink to the filtered totals.

#600 — A failed form submit shows the field reason

Before: a failed submit showed a generic "Bad Request" (some forms swallowed the error silently).
Now: the actual field-level reason is shown (multiple joined with " · ").
Steps:
1. Admin → Create Partner (or Create Merchant Group).
2. Enter a valid name and a Code that already exists.
3. Submit → the error shows the field reason (e.g. the duplicate-code message), not "Bad Request".
Note: it appears as an error toast, not an inline per-field banner.

#672 — Product header shows the price, not the MSRP

Before: the product detail header pill showed the MSRP.
Now: it shows the default variant's selling Price, labeled "Price".
Steps:
1. Needs a product where Price ≠ MSRP. Portal → Products → open/create a product; set Base price PRICE = 90.99 and MSRP = 30.00.
2. Open the product detail page → the header pill reads $90.99 Price, not $30.00 MSRP.
3. MSRP is still visible in the General tab.

#693 — Inventory documents no longer change the location price

Before: receiving a product never stocked at a location set its selling price equal to the cost.
Now: the selling price stays empty and inherits the product's base price.
Steps:
1. Pick a product with a base price (e.g. $25.00) that has never been stocked at location X.
2. Do a PO Receiving at location X with a different cost (e.g. $9.00) and complete it.
3. Check that product at location X → the selling price must still be $25.00, not $9.00.

#516 — Duplicate notifications no longer stack up

Before: each failed retry pushed a new identical toast → a stack of 3.
Now: an identical toast still on screen is refreshed in place, not stacked.
Steps:
1. Go to Purchase Orders, create a new PO, add no lines.
2. Click Submit to supplier → confirm (it always fails). An error notification appears; the dialog stays open.
3. Click Submit to supplier 2–3 more times → you should see one notification that refreshes, not a stack.

#512 — Closed side panels can't be tabbed into with the keyboard

Before: a closed side panel stayed reachable — keyboard users could Tab into its off-screen controls.
Now: a closed panel is removed from the tab order while still animating out.
Steps:
1. Portal → any page with a drawer (e.g. Products → edit a product, or Customers → Add customer).
2. Close the drawer (Escape or the close button) — it animates out.
3. Press Tab repeatedly and watch the focus ring → it must never land inside the closed drawer; only visible page controls get focus.
Note: fully confirming the accessibility-tree removal needs a screen reader / dev tools.

#606 — The calendar shows above side panels and dialogs

Before: a calendar opened inside a drawer/dialog was hidden behind the panel.
Now: the calendar always shows above the drawer/dialog that opened it.
Steps:
1. Portal → Purchase Orders → Create Purchase Order (a drawer with a date field). (Also: Customers → Add customer, Tax holidays.)
2. Click the date field to open the calendar.
3. The calendar must be fully visible and clickable, on top of the drawer — not clipped behind it.

#696 — Prices and quantities reject out-of-range or over-precise values

Before: an over-precise decimal (e.g. 10.123) was silently rounded, and an oversized value failed with an opaque error.
Now: price/quantity fields reject over-precise or out-of-range values inline, each with its own message.
Steps:
1. Portal → Products → open a product → Pricing → Base price drawer.
2. In a price field type 10.123 → inline "Maximum 2 decimal places"; type a 20-digit number → "Value is too large"; type letters → "Enter a valid number".
3. Type 10.12 → accepted.
Note: the inline messages show on the 5 product drawers; other endpoints return clean errors at the API level.

#636 — Date fields highlight when invalid

Before: an empty required date field showed the error message but the field border stayed neutral.
Now: the date picker turns red on validation failure; clicking its label focuses it.
Steps:
1. Open Tax Holidays → create.
2. Leave the required date field empty and click Save.
3. The date picker must turn red in addition to showing "This field is required".

#698 #699 #700 #701 #712 — You stay signed in (refresh / multiple tabs)

Before: refreshing (F5) logged you out and bounced to login; multi-tab behavior was inconsistent.
Now: both portals share the same origin as /api, so the session survives F5 and is coordinated across tabs.
Steps:
1. Sign in to the portal (and separately to admin) → you land on the dashboard.
2. Press F5 (hard refresh) → you stay signed in, no bounce to /login.
3. Open a second tab on the same app → also signed in, no re-login.
4. In one tab, Log out (or Log out all) → the other tab(s) redirect to /login immediately.
Note: the CSRF / JWT / CSP hardening in this group is backend/deploy-layer, verified via API/integration tests.

🔧 Technical — not QA-testable 5

Referenced in development but with nothing to verify through the normal portal flow — listed so a referenced number never dead-ends.

Ref	What	Why not testable
#582	AI logs reject malformed date ranges.	No UI trigger — the AI Logs page never sends date params; reachable only via a malformed query param against the API (→ 400).
#690	Audit log hardening: email search treats special characters literally, and inverted date ranges are rejected.	Backend hardening — the literal-character case needs specially seeded emails, and the date picker won't produce an inverted range; verified via API/integration tests.
#686	Removed a browser console warning on the Code field of create/edit side panels (drawers).	No visible change — internal cleanup. Only shows as the absence of a warning in the browser console (F12).
#574 (screen-reader part)	Filter dropdown screen-reader labels are translated.	Needs a screen reader / DOM inspection — no visible change for a sighted tester. (The visible part — dropping the redundant "All" option — is in the table above.)
#693 (label part)	Product label no longer prints `$0.00` for received goods.	No Labels screen yet (`/labels` = "Coming soon"); reachable only via the API.
