# Phase 7: Validation and UX Polish Verification Report

**Phase Goal:** Add inline field format validation and contextual tooltip help to reduce config errors and support-ticket load.
**Verified:** 2026-03-31T13:55:00Z
**Status:** human_needed
**Re-verification:** No — initial verification

## Goal Achievement

### Observable Truths

| #  | Truth | Status | Evidence |
|----|-------|--------|----------|
| 1  | VALID-01 failing tests exist for Azure account name regex rejection and acceptance | VERIFIED | `describe('VALID-01 — format validation')` block in RemoteConfigStep.test.tsx, lines 233–337; 3 Azure tests present |
| 2  | VALID-01 failing tests exist for S3 region regex rejection and acceptance | VERIFIED | S3 region tests at lines 282–309 in test file |
| 3  | VALID-01 failing tests exist for GCS project_number regex rejection and acceptance | VERIFIED | GCS tests at lines 312–336 in test file |
| 4  | UX-01 failing tests exist for ⓘ button presence and tooltip toggle behavior | VERIFIED | `describe('UX-01 — contextual tooltips')` block at lines 339–401; 5 tests present |
| 5  | User entering 'MyStorage' in Azure account name sees an inline error before advancing | VERIFIED | `validate: { regex: /^[a-z0-9]{3,24}$/, message: 'Must be 3–24 lowercase alphanumeric characters...' }` in registry.ts line 33; `buildZodSchema()` chains `.regex()` in index.ts line 18; test passes |
| 6  | User entering 'us east 1' in S3 region field sees an inline error | VERIFIED | `validate: { regex: /^[a-z][a-z0-9-]+[a-z0-9]$/, message: 'Must be a valid AWS region format...' }` in registry.ts line 87; test passes |
| 7  | User entering 'abc' in GCS project_number field sees an inline error | VERIFIED | `validate: { regex: /^\d+$/, message: 'Must contain digits only' }` in registry.ts line 183; test passes |
| 8  | Valid values produce no format error | VERIFIED | Acceptance tests at lines 266, 295, 325 all pass (159/159 full suite) |
| 9  | Empty required fields show 'required' error, not the regex error | VERIFIED | `buildZodSchema()` applies `min(1)` before `regex()` for required fields; order guaranteed by let-schema pattern |
| 10 | User can click ⓘ next to SAS URL / Access Key and read an explanation | VERIFIED | `tooltipText` populated in registry.ts lines 44, 53; AzureAuthToggle reads from BACKEND_REGISTRY and passes to PasswordField (lines 19–20); PasswordField renders ⓘ button + toggle panel |
| 11 | User can click ⓘ on SFTP authentication method section | VERIFIED | SftpAuthToggle.tsx has `showAuthTip` state, ⓘ button with `aria-label="More info about authentication methods"`, conditional explanation panel |
| 12 | User can click ⓘ next to OneDrive token label | VERIFIED | `tooltipText` populated in registry.ts line 147; FieldRenderer passes `tooltipText={field.tooltipText}` to PasswordField for password-type fields |

**Score:** 12/12 truths verified

### Required Artifacts

| Artifact | Expected | Status | Details |
|----------|----------|--------|---------|
| `src/components/wizard/RemoteConfigStep.test.tsx` | Failing test stubs for VALID-01 and UX-01 | VERIFIED | `describe('VALID-01...')` and `describe('UX-01...')` blocks present; 12 tests added (7 VALID-01 + 5 UX-01); all 33 RemoteConfigStep tests pass |
| `src/schemas/registry.ts` | FieldDef with `validate?` and `tooltipText?`; 3 entries with validate rules; tooltipText for sas_url, key, token | VERIFIED | Both optional properties on FieldDef (lines 17–18); validate rules on azureblob.account, s3.region, gcs.project_number; tooltipText on azureblob.sas_url, azureblob.key, onedrive.token |
| `src/schemas/index.ts` | `buildZodSchema()` chains `.regex()` when `field.validate` is present | VERIFIED | `if (field.validate)` block at lines 17–19 chains `(schema as z.ZodString).regex(...)` |
| `src/components/ui/FieldRenderer.tsx` | ⓘ button + tooltip panel for text/select; passes `tooltipText` to PasswordField | VERIFIED | `useState(false)` for `showTooltip`; ⓘ button in both text (line 90) and select (line 48) branches; `tooltipText={field.tooltipText}` passed to PasswordField (line 35) |
| `src/components/ui/PasswordField.tsx` | `tooltipText` prop + `showTooltip` state + ⓘ button + conditional panel | VERIFIED | `tooltipText?: string` in interface (line 11); `showTooltip` state (line 16); ⓘ button (line 23); conditional panel (line 34) |
| `src/components/wizard/AzureAuthToggle.tsx` | Reads `tooltipText` from BACKEND_REGISTRY, passes to PasswordField | VERIFIED | `sasUrlTooltip` and `keyTooltip` lookups via `BACKEND_REGISTRY.azureblob.fields.find(...)` (lines 19–20); both passed as `tooltipText` prop to PasswordField |
| `src/components/wizard/SftpAuthToggle.tsx` | `showAuthTip` state + ⓘ button above segmented control | VERIFIED | `showAuthTip` state (line 17); ⓘ button with `aria-label="More info about authentication methods"` (line 27); conditional explanation panel (line 33) |

### Key Link Verification

| From | To | Via | Status | Details |
|------|----|-----|--------|---------|
| `BACKEND_REGISTRY azureblob.account.validate` | `buildZodSchema('azureblob')` | `field.validate` conditional + `(schema as z.ZodString).regex()` | WIRED | index.ts lines 17–19; regex applied and test confirms error message surfaces |
| `BACKEND_REGISTRY s3.region.validate` | `buildZodSchema('s3')` | same pattern | WIRED | registry.ts line 87; test passing |
| `BACKEND_REGISTRY gcs.project_number.validate` | `buildZodSchema('gcs')` | same pattern | WIRED | registry.ts line 183; test passing |
| `BACKEND_REGISTRY azureblob.sas_url.tooltipText` | `AzureAuthToggle → PasswordField tooltipText prop` | `BACKEND_REGISTRY.azureblob.fields.find(f => f.key === 'sas_url')?.tooltipText` | WIRED | AzureAuthToggle.tsx line 19; `tooltipText={sasUrlTooltip}` at line 61 |
| `BACKEND_REGISTRY onedrive.token.tooltipText` | `FieldRenderer ⓘ button rendered` | `field.tooltipText` present → `tooltipText` passed to PasswordField | WIRED | FieldRenderer.tsx line 35; test `renders ⓘ button on OneDrive token field` passes |
| `SftpAuthToggle showAuthTip state` | inline explanation panel | `useState` + `{showAuthTip && <p>...}` | WIRED | SftpAuthToggle.tsx line 33; test `renders ⓘ button on SFTP auth method section` passes |

### Requirements Coverage

| Requirement | Source Plans | Description | Status | Evidence |
|-------------|-------------|-------------|--------|----------|
| VALID-01 | 07-00, 07-01 | User sees inline validation error on format violations (Azure account, S3 region, GCS project_number) | SATISFIED | validate rules in registry.ts; buildZodSchema chains .regex(); 7 VALID-01 tests pass; TypeScript compiles clean |
| UX-01 | 07-00, 07-02 | User can view contextual tooltip on sensitive/complex fields (SAS token, access key, SFTP auth method, OneDrive token) | SATISFIED | tooltipText in registry; ⓘ buttons in PasswordField/FieldRenderer/SftpAuthToggle; AzureAuthToggle wired; 5 UX-01 tests pass |

No orphaned requirements — REQUIREMENTS.md maps only VALID-01 and UX-01 to Phase 7, both claimed by plans and verified.

### Anti-Patterns Found

| File | Line | Pattern | Severity | Impact |
|------|------|---------|----------|--------|
| `src/components/ui/FieldRenderer.tsx` | 94–98 | Text-branch ⓘ button uses `<span className="sr-only">` for accessible name instead of `aria-label` on the button element directly — unlike the select branch (line 52) which uses `aria-label` | Info | Tests still pass because `sr-only` span content is used by testing-library as the button's accessible name. However the two branches are inconsistent: select uses `aria-label`, text uses `sr-only` span. Not a functional defect but a maintainability inconsistency. |

No blockers, no stubs, no TODO/FIXME/placeholder comments found in modified files.

### Human Verification Required

All automated checks pass (159/159 tests, 0 TypeScript errors). The items below require a human to confirm real-browser behavior, because the human-verify checkpoint documented in Plan 07-02 (commit 7548c7b) was the original approval — this verification independently requests a fresh confirmation.

#### 1. Inline Validation — Azure Account Name

**Test:** Open wizard, select Azure Blob Storage. Type `ABC` into Storage Account Name, click Next.
**Expected:** An inline error reading "Must be 3–24 lowercase alphanumeric characters (no hyphens or uppercase)" appears below the field. The wizard does not advance.
**Why human:** Visual placement of error, step-gate behavior.

#### 2. Inline Validation — S3 Region

**Test:** Select Amazon S3. Type `us east 1` into Region, click Next.
**Expected:** Inline error reading "Must be a valid AWS region format (e.g. us-east-1)" appears. Wizard does not advance.
**Why human:** Visual placement of error, step-gate behavior.

#### 3. Inline Validation — GCS Project Number

**Test:** Select Google Cloud Storage. Type `abc` into Project Number, click Next.
**Expected:** Inline error "Must contain digits only" appears. Wizard does not advance.
**Why human:** Visual placement of error, step-gate behavior.

#### 4. Tooltip Toggle — SAS URL

**Test:** Select Azure Blob Storage. Click the ⓘ button next to "SAS URL".
**Expected:** An explanation panel appears below the SAS URL field containing text about Shared Access Signatures. Click ⓘ again — panel disappears.
**Why human:** Visual appearance, tooltip content readability, toggle feel.

#### 5. Tooltip Toggle — Access Key

**Test:** In Azure Blob Storage, switch to the "Access Key" tab. Click ⓘ next to "Access Key".
**Expected:** Panel appears with unrestricted-access warning. Click ⓘ again — panel hides.
**Why human:** Visual confirm; the ⓘ button is CSS-hidden until the Access Key tab is active.

#### 6. Tooltip Toggle — SFTP Authentication Method

**Test:** Select SFTP. Confirm ⓘ appears above the Password/Private Key tab row (labeled "Authentication Method ⓘ"). Click it.
**Expected:** Explanation panel appears describing password vs key-based auth. Click again — panel hides.
**Why human:** Section-level tooltip placement relative to segmented control.

#### 7. Tooltip Toggle — OneDrive Token

**Test:** Select OneDrive. Click ⓘ next to "OAuth Token (JSON)".
**Expected:** Panel appears explaining `rclone authorize "onedrive"` and pasting the JSON blob. Click ⓘ again — panel hides.
**Why human:** Content accuracy and readability of the rclone-specific guidance.

### Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All automated evidence confirms the phase goal was achieved:

- VALID-01: Three backend-specific regex validators wired end-to-end from `BACKEND_REGISTRY` through `buildZodSchema()` to the wizard form; inline error messages match the specified copy; all 7 validation tests pass.
- UX-01: Four tooltip surfaces implemented (SAS URL, Access Key, SFTP auth method, OneDrive token); ⓘ button + toggle panel present in FieldRenderer, PasswordField, AzureAuthToggle, and SftpAuthToggle; all 5 tooltip tests pass.
- Full suite: 159 tests, 0 failures, 0 TypeScript errors.
- All 6 commits documented in summaries confirmed in git history.

The only outstanding item is fresh human confirmation that the UI behaves correctly in a running browser. The original human-verify checkpoint (Plan 07-02 Task 3) was approved, so this is a confirmation step rather than a discovery step.
