# Step 1: Preflight & Context Loading
## STEP GOAL
Verify prerequisites and load all required inputs before generating failing tests.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
- 🚫 Halt if requirements are missing
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
- Focus: this step's goal only
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
## 1. Prerequisites (Hard Requirements)
- Story approved with **clear acceptance criteria**
- Test framework configured (`playwright.config.ts` or `cypress.config.ts`)
- Development environment available
If any are missing: **HALT** and notify the user.
---
## 2. Load Story Context
- Read story markdown from `{story_file}` (or ask user if not provided)
- Extract acceptance criteria and constraints
- Identify affected components and integrations
---
## 3. Load Framework & Existing Patterns
- Read framework config
- Inspect `{test_dir}` for existing test patterns, fixtures, helpers
## 3.5 Read TEA Config Flags
From `{config_source}`:
- `tea_use_playwright_utils`
- `tea_browser_automation`
---
## 4. Load Knowledge Base Fragments
Use `{knowledgeIndex}` to load:
**Core (always):**
- `data-factories.md`
- `component-tdd.md`
- `test-quality.md`
- `test-healing-patterns.md`
- `selector-resilience.md`
- `timing-debugging.md`
**Playwright Utils (if enabled):**
- `overview.md`, `api-request.md`, `network-recorder.md`, `auth-session.md`, `intercept-network-call.md`, `recurse.md`, `log.md`, `file-utils.md`, `network-error-monitor.md`, `fixtures-composition.md`
**Playwright CLI (if tea_browser_automation is "cli" or "auto"):**
- `playwright-cli.md`
**MCP Patterns (if tea_browser_automation is "mcp" or "auto"):**
- (existing MCP-related fragments, if any are added in future)
**Traditional Patterns (if utils disabled):**
- `fixture-architecture.md`
- `network-first.md`
---
## 5. Confirm Inputs
Summarize loaded inputs and confirm with the user. Then proceed.
---
## 6. Save Progress
**Save this step's accumulated work to `{outputFile}`.**
- **If `{outputFile}` does not exist** (first save), create it with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml
---
stepsCompleted: ['step-01-preflight-and-context']
lastStep: 'step-01-preflight-and-context'
lastSaved: '{date}'
---
```
Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
- **If `{outputFile}` already exists**, update:
- Add `'step-01-preflight-and-context'` to `stepsCompleted` array (only if not already present)
- Set `lastStep: 'step-01-preflight-and-context'`
- Set `lastSaved: '{date}'`
- Append this step's output to the appropriate section.
Load next step: `{nextStepFile}`
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Step completed in full with required outputs
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Skipped sequence steps or missing outputs
**Master Rule:** Skipping steps is FORBIDDEN.

# Step 1b: Resume Workflow
## STEP GOAL
Resume an interrupted workflow by loading the existing output document, displaying progress, and routing to the next incomplete step.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: Output document with progress frontmatter
- Focus: Load progress and route to next step
- Limits: Do not re-execute completed steps
- Dependencies: Output document must exist from a previous run
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly.
### 1. Load Output Document
Read `{outputFile}` and parse YAML frontmatter for:
- `stepsCompleted` — array of completed step names
- `lastStep` — last completed step name
- `lastSaved` — timestamp of last save
**If `{outputFile}` does not exist**, display:
"⚠️ **No previous progress found.** There is no output document to resume from. Please use **[C] Create** to start a fresh workflow run."
**THEN:** Halt. Do not proceed.
---
### 2. Display Progress Dashboard
Display progress with ✅/⬜ indicators:
1. ✅/⬜ Preflight & Context (step-01-preflight-and-context)
2. ✅/⬜ Generation Mode (step-02-generation-mode)
3. ✅/⬜ Test Strategy (step-03-test-strategy)
4. ✅/⬜ Generate Tests + Aggregate (step-04c-aggregate)
5. ✅/⬜ Validate & Complete (step-05-validate-and-complete)
---
### 3. Route to Next Step
Based on `lastStep`, load the next incomplete step:
- `'step-01-preflight-and-context'` → load `./step-02-generation-mode.md`
- `'step-02-generation-mode'` → load `./step-03-test-strategy.md`
- `'step-03-test-strategy'` → load `./step-04-generate-tests.md`
- `'step-04c-aggregate'` → load `./step-05-validate-and-complete.md`
- `'step-05-validate-and-complete'` → **Workflow already complete.** Display: "✅ **All steps completed.** Use **[V] Validate** to review outputs or **[E] Edit** to make revisions." Then halt.
**If `lastStep` does not match any value above**, display: "⚠️ **Unknown progress state** (`lastStep`: {lastStep}). Please use **[C] Create** to start fresh." Then halt.
**Otherwise**, load the identified step file, read completely, and execute.
The existing content in `{outputFile}` provides context from previously completed steps.
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Output document loaded and parsed correctly
- Progress dashboard displayed accurately
- Routed to correct next step
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Not loading output document
- Incorrect progress display
- Routing to wrong step
**Master Rule:** Resume MUST route to the exact next incomplete step. Never re-execute completed steps.

# Step 2: Generation Mode Selection
## STEP GOAL
Choose the appropriate generation mode for ATDD tests.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, loaded artifacts, and knowledge fragments
- Focus: this step's goal only
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: prior steps' outputs (if any)
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
## 1. Default Mode: AI Generation
Use AI generation when:
- Acceptance criteria are clear
- Scenarios are standard (CRUD, auth, API, navigation)
Proceed directly to test strategy if this applies.
---
## 2. Optional Mode: Recording (Complex UI)
Use recording when UI interactions need live browser verification.
**Tool selection based on `config.tea_browser_automation`:**
If `auto`:
> **Note:** `${timestamp}` is a placeholder the agent should replace with a unique value (e.g., epoch seconds) for session isolation.
- **Simple recording** (snapshot selectors, capture structure): Use CLI
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} open <url>` → `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} snapshot` → extract refs
- **Complex recording** (drag/drop, wizards, multi-step state): Use MCP
- Full browser automation with rich tool semantics
- **Fallback:** If preferred tool unavailable, use the other; if neither, skip recording
If `cli`:
- Use Playwright CLI for all recording
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-${timestamp} open <url>`, `snapshot`, `screenshot`, `click <ref>`, etc.
If `mcp`:
- Use Playwright MCP tools for all recording (current behavior)
- Confirm MCP availability, record selectors and interactions
If `none`:
- Skip recording mode entirely, use AI generation from documentation
---
## 3. Confirm Mode
State the chosen mode and why. Then proceed.

## 4. Save Progress
**Save this step's accumulated work to `{outputFile}`.**
- **If `{outputFile}` does not exist** (first save), create it with YAML frontmatter:
```yaml

# Step 4: Orchestrate Parallel FAILING Test Generation
## STEP GOAL
Launch parallel subprocesses to generate FAILING API and E2E tests simultaneously (TDD RED PHASE) for maximum performance.
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
- ✅ Launch TWO subprocesses in PARALLEL
- ✅ Generate FAILING tests only (TDD red phase)
- ✅ Wait for BOTH subprocesses to complete
- ❌ Do NOT generate sequential tests (use subprocesses)
- ❌ Do NOT generate passing tests (this is red phase)
- ❌ Do NOT proceed until both subprocesses finish
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Wait for subprocess outputs
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, acceptance criteria from Step 1, test strategy from Step 3
- Focus: subprocess orchestration only
- Limits: do not generate tests directly (delegate to subprocesses)
- Dependencies: Steps 1-3 outputs
---
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
### 1. Prepare Subprocess Inputs
**Generate unique timestamp** for temp file naming:
```javascript
const timestamp = new Date().toISOString().replace(/[:.]/g, '-');
```
**Prepare input context for both subprocesses:**
```javascript
const subprocessContext = {
story_acceptance_criteria: /* from Step 1 */,
test_strategy: /* from Step 3 */,
knowledge_fragments_loaded: /* list of fragments */,
config: {
test_framework: config.test_framework,
use_playwright_utils: config.tea_use_playwright_utils,
browser_automation: config.tea_browser_automation
},
timestamp: timestamp
};
```
---
### 2. Launch Subprocess A: Failing API Test Generation
**Launch subprocess in parallel:**
- **Subprocess File:** `./step-04a-subprocess-api-failing.md`
- **Output File:** `/tmp/tea-atdd-api-tests-${timestamp}.json`
- **Context:** Pass `subprocessContext`
- **Execution:** PARALLEL (non-blocking)
- **TDD Phase:** RED (failing tests)
**System Action:**
```
🚀 Launching Subprocess A: FAILING API Test Generation (RED PHASE)
📝 Output: /tmp/tea-atdd-api-tests-${timestamp}.json
🔴 TDD Phase: RED (tests will fail until feature implemented)
⏳ Status: Running in parallel...
```
---
### 3. Launch Subprocess B: Failing E2E Test Generation
**Launch subprocess in parallel:**
- **Subprocess File:** `./step-04b-subprocess-e2e-failing.md`
- **Output File:** `/tmp/tea-atdd-e2e-tests-${timestamp}.json`
- **Context:** Pass `subprocessContext`
- **Execution:** PARALLEL (non-blocking)
- **TDD Phase:** RED (failing tests)
**System Action:**
```
🚀 Launching Subprocess B: FAILING E2E Test Generation (RED PHASE)
📝 Output: /tmp/tea-atdd-e2e-tests-${timestamp}.json
🔴 TDD Phase: RED (tests will fail until feature implemented)
⏳ Status: Running in parallel...
```
---
### 4. Wait for Both Subprocesses to Complete
**Monitor subprocess execution:**
```
⏳ Waiting for subprocesses to complete...
├── Subprocess A (API RED): Running... ⟳
└── Subprocess B (E2E RED): Running... ⟳
[... time passes ...]
├── Subprocess A (API RED): Complete ✅
└── Subprocess B (E2E RED): Complete ✅
✅ All subprocesses completed successfully!
```
**Verify both outputs exist:**
```javascript
const apiOutputExists = fs.existsSync(`/tmp/tea-atdd-api-tests-${timestamp}.json`);
const e2eOutputExists = fs.existsSync(`/tmp/tea-atdd-e2e-tests-${timestamp}.json`);
if (!apiOutputExists || !e2eOutputExists) {
throw new Error('One or both subprocess outputs missing!');
}
```
---
### 5. TDD Red Phase Report
**Display TDD status:**
```
🔴 TDD RED PHASE: Failing Tests Generated
✅ Both subprocesses completed:
- API Tests: Generated with test.skip()
- E2E Tests: Generated with test.skip()
📋 All tests assert EXPECTED behavior
📋 All tests will FAIL until feature implemented
📋 This is INTENTIONAL (TDD red phase)
Next: Aggregation will verify TDD compliance
```
---
### 6. Performance Report
**Display performance metrics:**
```
🚀 Performance Report:
- Execution Mode: PARALLEL (2 subprocesses)
- API Test Generation: ~X minutes
- E2E Test Generation: ~Y minutes
- Total Elapsed: ~max(X, Y) minutes
- Sequential Would Take: ~(X + Y) minutes
- Performance Gain: ~50% faster!
```
---
### 7. Proceed to Aggregation
**Load aggregation step:**
Load next step: `{nextStepFile}`
The aggregation step (4C) will:
- Read both subprocess outputs
- Verify TDD red phase compliance (all tests have test.skip())
- Write all test files to disk
- Generate ATDD checklist
- Calculate summary statistics
---
## EXIT CONDITION
Proceed to Step 4C (Aggregation) when:
- ✅ Subprocess A (API failing tests) completed successfully
- ✅ Subprocess B (E2E failing tests) completed successfully
- ✅ Both output files exist and are valid JSON
- ✅ TDD red phase status reported
**Do NOT proceed if:**
- ❌ One or both subprocesses failed
- ❌ Output files missing or corrupted
- ❌ Subprocess generated passing tests (wrong - must be failing)
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Both subprocesses launched successfully
- Both subprocesses completed without errors
- Output files generated and valid
- Tests generated with test.skip() (TDD red phase)
- Parallel execution achieved ~50% performance gain
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- Failed to launch subprocesses
- One or both subprocesses failed
- Output files missing or invalid
- Tests generated without test.skip() (wrong phase)
- Attempted sequential generation instead of parallel
**Master Rule:** TDD RED PHASE requires FAILING tests (with test.skip()). Parallel subprocess execution is MANDATORY for performance.

# Subprocess 4A: Generate Failing API Tests (TDD Red Phase)
## SUBPROCESS CONTEXT
This is an **isolated subprocess** running in parallel with E2E failing test generation.
**What you have from parent workflow:**
- Story acceptance criteria from Step 1
- Test strategy and scenarios from Step 3
- Knowledge fragments loaded: api-request, data-factories, api-testing-patterns
- Config: test framework, Playwright Utils enabled/disabled
**Your task:** Generate API tests that will FAIL because the feature is not implemented yet (TDD RED PHASE).
---
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read this entire subprocess file before acting
- ✅ Generate FAILING API tests ONLY
- ✅ Tests MUST fail when run (feature not implemented yet)
- ✅ Output structured JSON to temp file
- ✅ Follow knowledge fragment patterns
- ❌ Do NOT generate E2E tests (that's subprocess 4B)
- ❌ Do NOT generate passing tests (this is TDD red phase)
- ❌ Do NOT run tests (that's step 5)
---
## SUBPROCESS TASK
### 1. Identify API Endpoints from Acceptance Criteria
From the story acceptance criteria (Step 1 output), identify:
- Which API endpoints will be created for this story
- Expected request/response contracts
- Authentication requirements
- Expected status codes and error scenarios
**Example Acceptance Criteria:**
```
Story: User Registration
- As a user, I can POST to /api/users/register with email and password
- System returns 201 Created with user object
- System returns 400 Bad Request if email already exists
- System returns 422 Unprocessable Entity if validation fails
```
### 2. Generate FAILING API Test Files
For each API endpoint, create test file in `tests/api/[feature].spec.ts`:
**Test Structure (ATDD - Red Phase):**
```typescript
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
// If Playwright Utils enabled:
// import { apiRequest } from '@playwright-utils/api';
test.describe('[Story Name] API Tests (ATDD)', () => {
test.skip('[P0] should register new user successfully', async ({ request }) => {
// THIS TEST WILL FAIL - Endpoint not implemented yet
const response = await request.post('/api/users/register', {
data: {
email: 'newuser@example.com',
password: 'SecurePass123!',
},
});
// Expect 201 but will get 404 (endpoint doesn't exist)
expect(response.status()).toBe(201);
const user = await response.json();
expect(user).toMatchObject({
id: expect.any(Number),
email: 'newuser@example.com',
});
});
test.skip('[P1] should return 400 if email exists', async ({ request }) => {
// THIS TEST WILL FAIL - Endpoint not implemented yet
const response = await request.post('/api/users/register', {
data: {
email: 'existing@example.com',
password: 'SecurePass123!',
},
});
expect(response.status()).toBe(400);
const error = await response.json();
expect(error.message).toContain('Email already exists');
});
});
```
**CRITICAL ATDD Requirements:**
- ✅ Use `test.skip()` to mark tests as intentionally failing (red phase)
- ✅ Write assertions for EXPECTED behavior (even though not implemented)
- ✅ Use realistic test data (not placeholder data)
- ✅ Test both happy path and error scenarios from acceptance criteria
- ✅ Use `apiRequest()` helper if Playwright Utils enabled
- ✅ Use data factories for test data (from data-factories fragment)
- ✅ Include priority tags [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3]
**Why test.skip():**
- Tests are written correctly for EXPECTED behavior
- But we know they'll fail because feature isn't implemented
- `test.skip()` documents this is intentional (TDD red phase)
- Once feature is implemented, remove `test.skip()` to verify green phase
### 3. Track Fixture Needs
Identify fixtures needed for API tests:
- Authentication fixtures (if endpoints require auth)
- Data factories (user data, etc.)
- API client configurations
**Do NOT create fixtures yet** - just track what's needed for aggregation step.

# Subprocess 4B: Generate Failing E2E Tests (TDD Red Phase)
## SUBPROCESS CONTEXT
This is an **isolated subprocess** running in parallel with API failing test generation.
**What you have from parent workflow:**
- Story acceptance criteria from Step 1
- Test strategy and user journey scenarios from Step 3
- Knowledge fragments loaded: fixture-architecture, network-first, selector-resilience
- Config: test framework, Playwright Utils enabled/disabled
**Your task:** Generate E2E tests that will FAIL because the feature UI is not implemented yet (TDD RED PHASE).
---
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read this entire subprocess file before acting
- ✅ Generate FAILING E2E tests ONLY
- ✅ Tests MUST fail when run (UI not implemented yet)
- ✅ Output structured JSON to temp file
- ✅ Follow knowledge fragment patterns
- ❌ Do NOT generate API tests (that's subprocess 4A)
- ❌ Do NOT generate passing tests (this is TDD red phase)
- ❌ Do NOT run tests (that's step 5)
---
## SUBPROCESS TASK
### 1. Identify User Journeys from Acceptance Criteria
From the story acceptance criteria (Step 1 output), identify:
- Which UI flows will be created for this story
- User interactions required
- Expected visual states
- Success/error messages expected
**Example Acceptance Criteria:**
```
Story: User Registration
- As a user, I can navigate to /register page
- I can fill in email and password fields
- I can click "Register" button
- System shows success message and redirects to dashboard
- System shows error if email already exists
```
### 2. Browser Interaction (Selector Verification)
**Automation mode:** `config.tea_browser_automation`
If `auto` (fall back to MCP if CLI unavailable; if neither available, generate from best practices):
- Open the target page first, then verify selectors with a snapshot:
`playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} open <target_url>`
`playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} snapshot` → map refs to Playwright locators
- ref `{role: "button", name: "Submit"}` → `page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })`
- ref `{role: "textbox", name: "Email"}` → `page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' })`
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} close` when done
If `cli` (CLI only — do NOT fall back to MCP; generate from best practices if CLI unavailable):
- Open the target page first, then verify selectors with a snapshot:
`playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} open <target_url>`
`playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} snapshot` → map refs to Playwright locators
- ref `{role: "button", name: "Submit"}` → `page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })`
- ref `{role: "textbox", name: "Email"}` → `page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' })`
- `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} close` when done
> **Session Hygiene:** Always close sessions using `playwright-cli -s=tea-atdd-{{timestamp}} close`. Do NOT use `close-all` — it kills every session on the machine and breaks parallel execution.
If `mcp`:
- Use MCP tools for selector verification (current behavior)
If `none`:
- Generate selectors from best practices without browser verification
### 3. Generate FAILING E2E Test Files
For each user journey, create test file in `tests/e2e/[feature].spec.ts`:
**Test Structure (ATDD - Red Phase):**
```typescript
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test.describe('[Story Name] E2E User Journey (ATDD)', () => {
test.skip('[P0] should complete user registration successfully', async ({ page }) => {
// THIS TEST WILL FAIL - UI not implemented yet
await page.goto('/register');
// Expect registration form but will get 404 or missing elements
await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'newuser@example.com');
await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecurePass123!');
await page.click('button:has-text("Register")');
// Expect success message and redirect
await expect(page.getByText('Registration successful!')).toBeVisible();
await page.waitForURL('/dashboard');
});
test.skip('[P1] should show error if email exists', async ({ page }) => {
// THIS TEST WILL FAIL - UI not implemented yet
await page.goto('/register');
await page.fill('[name="email"]', 'existing@example.com');
await page.fill('[name="password"]', 'SecurePass123!');
await page.click('button:has-text("Register")');
// Expect error message
await expect(page.getByText('Email already exists')).toBeVisible();
});
});
```
**CRITICAL ATDD Requirements:**
- ✅ Use `test.skip()` to mark tests as intentionally failing (red phase)
- ✅ Write assertions for EXPECTED UI behavior (even though not implemented)
- ✅ Use resilient selectors: getByRole, getByText, getByLabel (from selector-resilience)
- ✅ Follow network-first patterns if API calls involved (from network-first)
- ✅ Test complete user journeys from acceptance criteria
- ✅ Include priority tags [P0], [P1], [P2], [P3]
- ✅ Use proper TypeScript types
- ✅ Deterministic waits (no hard sleeps)
**Why test.skip():**
- Tests are written correctly for EXPECTED UI behavior
- But we know they'll fail because UI isn't implemented
- `test.skip()` documents this is intentional (TDD red phase)
- Once UI is implemented, remove `test.skip()` to verify green phase
### 4. Track Fixture Needs
Identify fixtures needed for E2E tests:
- Authentication fixtures (if journey requires logged-in state)
- Network mocks (if API calls involved)
- Test data fixtures
**Do NOT create fixtures yet** - just track what's needed for aggregation step.

"error": "Error message describing what went wrong",
"partial_output": {

}
```
---
## EXIT CONDITION
Subprocess completes when:
- ✅ All user journeys from acceptance criteria have test files
- ✅ All tests use `test.skip()` (documented failing tests)
- ✅ All tests assert EXPECTED UI behavior (not placeholder assertions)
- ✅ Resilient selectors used (getByRole, getByText)
- ✅ JSON output written to temp file
- ✅ Fixture needs tracked
**Subprocess terminates here.** Parent workflow will read output and proceed to aggregation.
---
## 🚨 SUBPROCESS SUCCESS METRICS
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- All E2E tests generated with test.skip()
- Tests assert expected UI behavior (not placeholders)
- Resilient selectors used (getByRole, getByText)
- JSON output valid and complete
- No API/component/unit tests included (out of scope)
- Tests follow knowledge fragment patterns
### ❌ FAILURE:
- Generated passing tests (wrong - this is RED phase)
- Tests without test.skip() (will break CI)
- Placeholder assertions (expect(true).toBe(true))
- Brittle selectors used (CSS classes, XPath)
- Did not follow knowledge fragment patterns
- Invalid or missing JSON output

# Step 4C: Aggregate ATDD Test Generation Results
## STEP GOAL
Read outputs from parallel subprocesses (API + E2E failing test generation), aggregate results, verify TDD red phase compliance, and create supporting infrastructure.
---
## MANDATORY EXECUTION RULES
- 📖 Read the entire step file before acting
- ✅ Speak in `{communication_language}`
- ✅ Read subprocess outputs from temp files
- ✅ Verify all tests are marked with test.skip() (TDD red phase)
- ✅ Generate shared fixtures based on fixture needs
- ✅ Write all generated test files to disk
- ❌ Do NOT remove test.skip() (that's done after feature implementation)
- ❌ Do NOT run tests yet (that's step 5 - verify they fail)
---
## EXECUTION PROTOCOLS:
- 🎯 Follow the MANDATORY SEQUENCE exactly
- 💾 Record outputs before proceeding
- 📖 Load the next step only when instructed
## CONTEXT BOUNDARIES:
- Available context: config, subprocess outputs from temp files
- Focus: aggregation and TDD validation
- Limits: do not execute future steps
- Dependencies: Step 4A and 4B subprocess outputs
---
## MANDATORY SEQUENCE
**CRITICAL:** Follow this sequence exactly. Do not skip, reorder, or improvise.
### 1. Read Subprocess Outputs
**Read API test subprocess output:**
```javascript
const apiTestsPath = '/tmp/tea-atdd-api-tests-{{timestamp}}.json';
const apiTestsOutput = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(apiTestsPath, 'utf8'));
```
**Read E2E test subprocess output:**
```javascript
const e2eTestsPath = '/tmp/tea-atdd-e2e-tests-{{timestamp}}.json';
const e2eTestsOutput = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(e2eTestsPath, 'utf8'));
```
**Verify both subprocesses succeeded:**
- Check `apiTestsOutput.success === true`
- Check `e2eTestsOutput.success === true`
- If either failed, report error and stop (don't proceed)
---
### 2. Verify TDD Red Phase Compliance
**CRITICAL TDD Validation:**
**Check API tests:**
```javascript
apiTestsOutput.tests.forEach((test) => {
// Verify test.skip() is present
if (!test.content.includes('test.skip(')) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} missing test.skip() - tests MUST be skipped in red phase!`);
}
// Verify not placeholder assertions
if (test.content.includes('expect(true).toBe(true)')) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} has placeholder assertions - must assert EXPECTED behavior!`);
}
// Verify expected_to_fail flag
if (!test.expected_to_fail) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} not marked as expected_to_fail!`);
}
});
```
**Check E2E tests:**
```javascript
e2eTestsOutput.tests.forEach((test) => {
// Same validation as API tests
if (!test.content.includes('test.skip(')) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} missing test.skip() - tests MUST be skipped in red phase!`);
}
if (test.content.includes('expect(true).toBe(true)')) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} has placeholder assertions!`);
}
if (!test.expected_to_fail) {
throw new Error(`ATDD ERROR: ${test.file} not marked as expected_to_fail!`);
}
});
```
**If validation passes:**
```
✅ TDD Red Phase Validation: PASS
- All tests use test.skip()
- All tests assert expected behavior (not placeholders)
- All tests marked as expected_to_fail
```
---
### 3. Write All Test Files to Disk
**Write API test files:**
```javascript
apiTestsOutput.tests.forEach((test) => {
fs.writeFileSync(test.file, test.content, 'utf8');
console.log(`✅ Created (RED): ${test.file}`);
});
```
**Write E2E test files:**
```javascript
e2eTestsOutput.tests.forEach((test) => {
fs.writeFileSync(test.file, test.content, 'utf8');
console.log(`✅ Created (RED): ${test.file}`);
});
```
---
### 4. Aggregate Fixture Needs
**Collect all fixture needs from both subprocesses:**
```javascript
const allFixtureNeeds = [...apiTestsOutput.fixture_needs, ...e2eTestsOutput.fixture_needs];
// Remove duplicates
const uniqueFixtures = [...new Set(allFixtureNeeds)];
```
---
### 5. Generate Fixture Infrastructure
**Create fixtures needed by ATDD tests:**
(Similar to automate workflow, but may be simpler for ATDD since feature not implemented)
**Minimal fixtures for TDD red phase:**
```typescript
// tests/fixtures/test-data.ts
export const testUserData = {
email: 'test@example.com',
password: 'SecurePass123!',
};
```
Note: More complete fixtures will be needed when moving to green phase.
---
### 6. Generate ATDD Checklist
**Create ATDD checklist document:**
```markdown
# ATDD Checklist: [Story Name]
## TDD Red Phase (Current)
✅ Failing tests generated
- API Tests: {api_test_count} tests (all skipped)
- E2E Tests: {e2e_test_count} tests (all skipped)
## Acceptance Criteria Coverage
{list all acceptance criteria with test coverage}
## Next Steps (TDD Green Phase)
After implementing the feature:
1. Remove `test.skip()` from all test files
2. Run tests: `npm test`
3. Verify tests PASS (green phase)
4. If any tests fail:
- Either fix implementation (feature bug)
- Or fix test (test bug)
5. Commit passing tests
## Implementation Guidance
Feature endpoints to implement:
{list endpoints from API tests}
UI components to implement:
{list UI flows from E2E tests}
```
**Save checklist:**
```javascript
fs.writeFileSync(`{test_artifacts}/atdd-checklist-{story-id}.md`, checklistContent, 'utf8');
```
---
### 7. Calculate Summary Statistics
**Aggregate test counts:**
```javascript
const summary = {
tdd_phase: 'RED',
total_tests: apiTestsOutput.test_count + e2eTestsOutput.test_count,
api_tests: apiTestsOutput.test_count,
e2e_tests: e2eTestsOutput.test_count,
all_tests_skipped: true,
expected_to_fail: true,
fixtures_created: uniqueFixtures.length,
acceptance_criteria_covered: [
...apiTestsOutput.tests.flatMap((t) => t.acceptance_criteria_covered),
...e2eTestsOutput.tests.flatMap((t) => t.acceptance_criteria_covered),
],
knowledge_fragments_used: [...apiTestsOutput.knowledge_fragments_used, ...e2eTestsOutput.knowledge_fragments_used],
subprocess_execution: 'PARALLEL (API + E2E)',
performance_gain: '~50% faster than sequential',
};
```
**Store summary for Step 5:**
```javascript
fs.writeFileSync('/tmp/tea-atdd-summary-{{timestamp}}.json', JSON.stringify(summary, null, 2), 'utf8');
```

```yaml
---
stepsCompleted: ['step-04c-aggregate']
lastStep: 'step-04c-aggregate'
lastSaved: '{date}'
---
```
Then write this step's output below the frontmatter.
- **If `{outputFile}` already exists**, update:
- Add `'step-04c-aggregate'` to `stepsCompleted` array (only if not already present)
- Set `lastStep: 'step-04c-aggregate'`
- Set `lastSaved: '{date}'`
- Append this step's output to the appropriate section.
Load next step: `{nextStepFile}`
---
## 🚨 SYSTEM SUCCESS/FAILURE METRICS:
### ✅ SUCCESS:
- Both subprocesses succeeded
- All tests have test.skip() (TDD red phase compliant)
- All tests assert expected behavior (not placeholders)
- All test files written to disk
- ATDD checklist generated
### ❌ SYSTEM FAILURE:
- One or both subprocesses failed
- Tests missing test.skip() (would break CI)
- Tests have placeholder assertions
- Test files not written to disk
- ATDD checklist missing
**Master Rule:** TDD RED PHASE requires ALL tests to use test.skip() and assert expected behavior.
