Verify UI

When to use

• Before committing any changes that affect observable UI behavior
• This includes: templates, components, styles, handlers, models surfaced in UI, migrations
• When CLAUDE.md or /commit skill directs you here

Prerequisites

• Changes to verify should already be implemented (not staged/committed yet)

Workflow

1. Build static assets:

   • Run templ generate to regenerate templ files
   • Run make css to rebuild Tailwind CSS
   • Report any errors and stop if build fails

2. Database migrations (if applicable):

   • Check for pending migrations: make migrate-status
   • If pending, ask user before running: make migrate
   • Skip if no database changes

3. Start server:

   • Run go run ./cmd/tfo-webapp in background
   • Wait for server to be ready (check output for listening message)
   • Report the URL (typically http://localhost:8080)

4. Request visual inspection:

   • Tell user: "Server running at http://localhost:8080 - please verify the UI"
   • Use AskUserQuestion to get approval:
     • "Does the UI look correct?"
     • Options: "Yes, looks good" / "No, needs changes"

5. Handle response:

   • If approved: Stop server, report ready to commit
   • If not approved: Stop server, ask what needs to change, do NOT proceed to commit

6. Cleanup:

   • Always stop the background server when done

Output

• Commands run and their outcomes
• Server URL for inspection
• User's verification decision
• Clear next step (proceed to commit or fix issues)
