Manual testing checklist for recent inline-chat / LLM PRs

[fentas]

Tracking issue collecting manual-testing items for the inline-chat / LLM PRs that have shipped recently. Each item is something the test suite can't easily cover end-to-end (real terminal interactions, real shell wiring, real LLM output) — keep this open and tick items off when you've verified them in a live atty session.

After each round of PR merges, run `make link` (or wait for the release-please tag → binary rebuild) and exercise the items below in Ghostty.

#76 — Ctrl+Right stops at `/` boundaries

PR: #76

• Type `cd ` (so ghost shows a path completion like `cd /home/fentas/github/atty`).
• Press `Ctrl+Right` repeatedly — accepts segment-by-segment, one slash per press: `/home/`, then `fentas/`, then `github/`, then `atty`.
• Confirm non-path ghosts still accept one space-word at a time (e.g. `git ` → `checkout ` → `master`).
• Edge: empty input → no-op. `/foo` (no trailing slash) → accepts all 4 chars at once.

#77 — Ctrl+Up/Down focus jump (panel ↔ shell)

PR: #77

• Open inline chat with `Alt+C`. Type a few chars in the panel input.
• `Ctrl+Up` — focus parks on shell. Type at the shell: keystrokes go to bash, panel input stays as-was. Panel input row visually dims to show "parked."
• `Ctrl+Down` — focus returns to panel. Typed chars again go into panel input (not bash).
• `Ctrl+Up` when panel is CLOSED — should pass through to the shell as a normal Ctrl+Up (e.g. tmux pane nav).

#78 — Discoverability hint + statusbar AI-dialog tracking

PR: #78

• Run `atty bash` in a fresh terminal. Press no keys for ~2s.
• Idle-state hint should appear (compact one-line: Alt+C / Alt+S / Alt+H or similar).
• Toggle through global shortcuts: `Alt+C`, `Alt+S`, `Alt+Shift+S`, `Alt+H` — confirm all are wired.
• Statusbar AI-dialog regression check: enter AI mode (`#: ` prefix), send a query, see the dialog. After the dialog completes, the statusbar should still reflect "ai-dialog idle" or the resting state — not get stuck showing the in-flight indicator. (Was flagged as flaky in a long session; not yet repro'd cleanly.)

#79 — Alt+C → Alt+C cursor position

PR: #79 (this PR — the cursor-restore fix)

• Open a bash prompt mid-screen (e.g. after `ls`). Note the prompt row.
• Press `Alt+C` to open inline chat. Then `Alt+C` again to close. Press Enter.
• Cursor should return to the row where the prompt was (or one row below for the new prompt), NOT jump down to where the chat input rendered.
• Repeat with terminal scrolled (prompt at row 8 of 24, prompt at row 2, prompt at row 22): all should restore to the prompt area, never inside the reservation.
• Type something while panel is OPEN, then close. The typed chars should appear at the shell prompt (not echoed inside the panel area).

#75 — Security guard design doc

PR: #75

(No manual testing — docs only. Listed here for traceability.)

• Re-read `docs/security-guard-design.md` once the eBPF guard implementation starts, and check the ASCII diagram + threat-level matrix still match the architecture.

#74 — System context injection (OS / pwd / git)

PR: #74

• Run `atty bash` outside a git repo, in a known directory. Open chat, ask "what dir am I in?". LLM should answer with the actual pwd (not stale or wrong).
• In a git repo, ask "what branch am I on?". LLM should answer with the actual branch.
• In a git WORKTREE (`.git` is a file, not a dir): same. Confirm the `gitdir:` indirection follow works.
• On Ubuntu / Arch / NixOS: ask "what distro?" — should pick up the PRETTY_NAME from `/etc/os-release`.
• Privacy: toggle incognito (`Ctrl+Shift+I` or `Alt+I`). Ask the same questions. The sys-context injection should be SUPPRESSED — LLM should not have access to pwd / git / os info.

Backlog (not yet fixed)

These are open issues / regressions noted but not in any of the PRs above:

• Statusbar fresh-start glitch — on the very first paint after `atty bash` launch, the statusbar can be invisible until the next keystroke. Repro: open a new terminal, run `atty bash`, observe the bottom row. Sometimes shows nothing until you press a key.
• `alt+c` from a fresh prompt with no scrollback — cursor tracking is uncertain; the panel paints but the cursor might land at the wrong row on close. The clamp in fix(llm): inline-chat paint CUP-restores cursor to shell row #79 should defend against this; verify.

How to add items

When something surprises you in a live session, add a checkbox item with: (1) what you did, (2) what you expected, (3) what actually happened. Then either fix it (PR) or leave it for triage. Close this issue when everything is ticked.
