Bug sweep — Agent Pants (determined product)

State: open/active · Genre: analysis

A top-to-bottom survey of the agent-pants determined application: the web build under Playwright against the checked-in fixture vaults, the desktop shell’s static parity checks, the agent-pants CLI verb by verb, a targeted static read of the frame and verdict code, and the bug-finder pipeline over ten territories. Fixes land as PRs stacked on this report’s branch, each citing the AP-NN rows it closes.

Surveyed commit: a1ef1512b (main, 2026-09-12).

How it was run

Everything below is re-runnable from a clean worktree at the surveyed commit.

git worktree add ../ap-survey origin/main
cd ../ap-survey && bun install
cargo build -p platform-core --bin platform-server
bun run --cwd solutions/determined/products/agent-pants build   # nuxt generate; a stale .output/public silently tests the old build

Fixture servers, each a throwaway copy of a fixture vault over the built SPA with its own state dir (run from solutions/determined/products/agent-pants):

port	script	vault
4895	`bun tests/serve.ts`	recommended + install geometry (`<root>/vault`, `<root>/dest`)
4896	`bun tests/serve-authoring.ts`	empty
4897	`bun tests/serve-walkthrough.ts`	recommended, editable
4898	`bun tests/serve-marketplace.ts`	freeform, two marketplaces
4900	`bun tests/serve-dialogs.ts`	recommended, for rename/move/delete

Each publishes its run paths to tests/.paths-<port>.

The survey scripts use Playwright’s library API, not the test runner, so a wedged page yields one evidence record per action instead of one timeout. Every action captures console (with source location), pageerror, requestfailed, and every response ≥ 400, then screenshots. An action that looks dead is re-run on a fresh page: if it works there, the finding belongs to the earlier action that wedged the page.

CLI: at the surveyed commit, the TypeScript CLI’s now-deleted cli.ts entry point, run through the package’s bun script for each verb, --config <scratch>/config.yaml against a copy of the recommended fixture, every verb in every documented mode, exit codes and stream placement checked against the package README and --help. The CLI has since moved to the native agent-pants Rust crate — cargo run -q -p agent-pants -- <verb> --config <scratch>/config.yaml is today’s equivalent, and re-running this sweep at HEAD would use that instead.

Desktop: Playwright cannot drive the Tauri webview and there is no devtools or log plugin, so the desktop check is static — the invoke() names the generated TS transport uses against the generated IPC handler list, and the Tauri API calls the frame makes against the product’s capability files — plus a browser run of the same routes over a copy of a real vault.

Code level: bug-finder (solutions/ontological/skills/bug-finder) scan workflow, three altitude lenses per territory then adversarial refuters, over the agent-pants experience (components, pages/composables, utils), the product wrapper, the platform-core handlers and vault registry, determined-agent-skills, agent-adapt-core, the CLI, the app-frame layer, and the determined shell.

Findings

Legend for disposition: fix-now · filed → task · `not-a-bug` · `already-open → `task. Severity: S1 blocker (unusable screen or data loss) · S2 major (a documented operation cannot complete, no in-app workaround) · S3 minor (wrong report, or an obvious workaround) · S4 cosmetic or documentation.

Refuted and not-a-bug

AP-88 — refused. The core’s not_carried computation is kind-only and runs once for the whole build; ExportUnit::NotCarried carries no root field, so neither the CLI nor the native app can report a per-root exclusion the report type does not carry. Filed as solutions/agent-pants/docs/vault/tasks/report-not-carried-per-root.md.
AP-93 — refused. The mislabel is the core’s own: publish.rs raises unreadable-note for a pack member that actually fails ap-targets validation, discarding the member’s real refusal token; unreadable-note is also not in the wire ReasonToken closed set, so the CLI adds an io: prefix on top of the mislabel. Filed as solutions/agent-pants/docs/vault/tasks/skipped-note-keeps-its-real-reason.md.

Missing features, sized

Hook creation (AP-36, AP-66) — the survey’s headline complaint. The New Component wizard filtered hook out of the kind list even though the vault, the build, and the skill page already supported it. Shipped in #2046.
Plain reference-note authoring (AP-37, AP-67) — still missing. No entry point in the app creates an untyped note; every wizard path produces a kind-typed component. #2045 added a docs hint on how a reference note comes to exist, but the authoring flow itself is open. Filed as T-FSMC-author-a-plain-reference-note-in-app.
Two pre-existing tracked tasks understated what shipped — T-H56N (hooks are vault entities) and T-0AF7 (hook editor + harness gap table) stayed status: planning/proposed after their features shipped. AP-40 and AP-41 flagged the drift; neither could be closed here because sdlc exposes no status-transition verb outside task update’s generic field patcher.
The context dock never renders in agent-pants (AP-54), and no product feeds its panel capability at all — an ownership decision, not a mechanical fix. Filed as T-MMZK-context-dock-never-renders-in-agent-pants.
Document tabs don’t survive a reload (AP-103), unlike pane-collapse state. Filed as T-G564-document-tabs-do-not-survive-reload.
Import preview ignores the typed plugin group (AP-68). Filed as T-QK1S-adopt-preview-honours-group-under-plugin.
A missing note or plugin answers 500, not 404 (AP-42, AP-43, AP-44, backend half) — the generated HTTP transport’s own doing, upstream of this repo. Filed as T-GIB9-not-found-status-in-generated-http.
A single-note trash restore keeps its collision-suffixed name — pre-existing, left open when the bundle-delete data-loss bug was fixed. Filed as T-PKMM-single-note-restore-keeps-suffixed-trash-name.
Desktop console capture needs a human pass — Playwright cannot drive the Tauri webview, and the survey’s own boot attempts were blocked. Filed as T-9VUY-desktop-console-capture-needs-a-human-pass.
Desktop capabilities limited to the main window, beyond agent-pants — 21 other determined products still grant dialog:default, notification:default, and deep-link:default on main only, the same gap AP-99/AP-100/AP-101 found in agent-pants. Filed as T-727P-desktop-capabilities-limited-to-main-window-across-products.
Agent-pants e2e is manual-dispatch only, never gates a pull request (AP-39) — the tracked vault task is only partially done. Filed as T-B2VW-agent-pants-e2e-gates-pull-requests.

What the user saw

The desktop “dead buttons” and console-error symptoms reported going into this survey did not reproduce in web mode: two full-page control sweeps (74 Home controls, 77 skill-page controls — 151 total) produced zero console errors, page errors, failed requests, or HTTP ≥ 400 responses (A0).

The actual symptom is persisted pane collapse with no way back. A page reload keeps a collapsed pane collapsed (by design, via localStorage), but nothing inside the collapsed pane offers to re-expand it — 28 of 74 Home controls and 42 of 77 skill-page controls looked permanently dead for exactly this reason, not because anything was broken. Fixed in #2050: every collapsed pane now draws its own labelled expand button.

Desktop-only console errors remain open. Playwright cannot drive the Tauri webview, so no desktop console was ever actually watched — the survey’s two attempts to boot the desktop binary were blocked by the assignment’s own rules and by the automation session’s permission classifier, not by the app itself. See T-9VUY-desktop-console-capture-needs-a-human-pass.

Closure

Re-run on 2026-09-12 against an integration tree: the report branch plus every fix branch merged (chore/agent-pants-closure-integration, no conflicts), with platform-server and the SPA rebuilt from it. Each fix-now row was re-run by its own repro: the web rows by Playwright scripts over the fixture servers, the CLI rows against a fresh copy of the recommended fixture, the code-level rows by the regression test named in the PR that closed them, the desktop capability rows by the shell’s capability unit test. The machine record is findings.jsonl (closure fields) and the per-row evidence is listed there.

status	rows
closed	80
reopened	3 (one of them fixed and re-run in the same pass)
not re-runnable	0

Boot and click sweep on the integrated build (recommended and empty fixtures, eleven routes): zero page errors, zero failed requests, and zero console errors on every route except the two below. Every collapsed pane draws its own enabled expand control, and it restores the pane on click.

Reopened:

AP-42, AP-43 — the page half is fixed (a missing note renders its not-found state and a malformed route fires no request), but the API still answers 500 for a note that does not exist, so one console error remains on each route. The mapping lives in ontogen-generated code and is tracked by T-GIB9-not-found-status-in-generated-http. The same 500 shows once more after a plugin delete, when the page navigates to the note that was just trashed.
AP-102 — a cold deep link to a note rendered it without opening a document tab, because the route-driven tab open waited on the note detail alone and the vault workspace resolved later. Fixed in #2055 after the first re-run, then re-run against the integrated tree: the tab opens on the cold link and survives a reload, with no console errors. Counted as closed.
AP-36 — not the original defect: two fix branches were each correct and contradicted each other. The docs row saying the wizard cannot create a hook was dropped on the report branch once the wizard could.

Everything else in the table with a fix-now disposition no longer reproduces. Rows marked refused, filed, duplicate or not-a-bug were not re-run; their status is the disposition column.

After closure

The user’s review of the fix PRs added four rows, outside the closure re-run: AP-110 (multi-line fields drew a primary-blue focus ring; #2073 added a DTextarea wrapper and was closed unmerged, and the fix is neutral defaultVariants for every form control in the ui package’s app config, #2110), AP-111 (the Matcher row now says which destinations honour, translate or refuse the matcher, #2075), AP-112 (hook rows in the navigation tree show the event and the command, carried by a new hook summary on the listing row, #2076), and AP-113 (OpenCode and Amp claim the hook asset as native while every event is refused for them; filed with the research on generating plugin modules for both, render-hooks-as-opencode-and-amp-plugins). The same round removed a duplicate expand chevron the AP-45 fix had introduced on the scope rail.
