TASK-2.5	Perform desktop smoke validation with mpv	Done		2026-02-10 18:56	2026-02-18 04:11		TASK-2.2 TASK-2.3 TASK-2.4	investigation.md docs/refactor-main-checklist.md	TASK-2	13000

Description

Execute manual desktop smoke checks in an MPV-enabled environment to validate overlay rendering and key user workflows not fully covered by automated tests.

Acceptance Criteria

• #1 Overlay rendering and visibility toggling are verified in a real desktop session.
• #2 Card mining flow is verified end-to-end.
• #3 Field-grouping interaction is verified end-to-end.
• #4 Results and any follow-up defects are documented in task notes.

Implementation Notes

Smoke run executed on 2026-02-10 with real Electron launch (outside sandbox) after unsetting ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE=1 in command context.

Commands executed:

• electron . --help
• electron . --start
• electron . --toggle-visible-overlay
• electron . --toggle-invisible-overlay
• electron . --mine-sentence
• electron . --trigger-field-grouping
• electron . --open-runtime-options
• electron . --stop

Observed runtime evidence from app logs:

• CLI help output rendered with expected flags.
• App started and connected to MPV after reconnect attempts.
• Mining flow executed and produced Created sentence card: ..., plus media upload logs.
• Tracker/runtime loop started (hyprland tracker connected) and app stopped cleanly.

Follow-up/constraints:

• Overlay visual rendering and visibility correctness are not directly observable from terminal logs alone and still require direct desktop visual confirmation.
• Field-grouping trigger command was sent, but explicit end-state confirmation in UI still needs manual verification.
