SLICE-001 Post-Implementation Review

• Status: Pending final manual close-out
• Date: 2026-04-14
• Slice: SLICE-001
• Umbrella Task: TASK-001

Purpose

This review page is the final stabilization checkpoint after the first vertical slice was implemented.

Use it before marking the slice fully complete and before starting the next implementation wave.

Current Evidence

As of 2026-04-14:

• the repository has a clean git working tree
• dotnet test InspectionPrototype.slnx passes with 63 tests
• the solution build can fail if the running WPF app is locking output assemblies
• the codebase contains the planned first-slice projects, state store, simulator boundary, workflow service, UI projection, and tests

Close-Out Checklist

Run this checklist in order:

1. Close any running InspectionPrototype.App process.
2. Run dotnet build InspectionPrototype.slnx.
3. Run dotnet test InspectionPrototype.slnx.
4. Launch the app and walk the manual operator flow from the slice acceptance criteria.
5. Verify stop, abort, fault, acknowledgement, and recovery behavior manually.
6. Verify the UI stays responsive while telemetry and preview updates are active.
7. Capture any remaining defects or polish items as follow-up tasks rather than re-opening the slice informally.

Manual Smoke Path

Use this exact smoke path:

1. Launch the app.
2. Verify the initial disconnected state and command availability.
3. Connect to the simulated machine.
4. Load the seeded recipe.
5. Home the stage.
6. Start a run.
7. Observe telemetry, position changes, preview updates, and defect count changes.
8. Verify one graceful Stop path.
9. Verify one immediate Abort path.
10. Verify one critical fault path and explicit recovery flow.
11. Verify the terminal run summary is visible after each terminal outcome.

Known Operational Caveat

If dotnet build fails with locked DLL errors in src/InspectionPrototype.App/bin/Debug/net10.0-windows, the app is still running.

That is an environment and process-state issue, not necessarily a code regression.

Exit Criteria

The slice can be marked fully complete when all of the following are true:

• build succeeds with the app closed
• automated tests pass
• manual smoke path passes
• any remaining non-blocking issues are written down as future work

Next Planned Slice

After SLICE-001 close-out, continue with:

• ADR-002: File-Backed Run History Store Before Database Persistence
• SLICE-002: Persistent Run History
• TASK-002: Implement Persistent Run History
