+
+## Overview
+
+The Headlamp Polaris Plugin uses a multi-layered testing approach:
+
+| Test Type | Framework | Purpose | Location |
+|-----------|-----------|---------|----------|
+| **Unit Tests** | Vitest | Test individual functions and components in isolation | `src/**/*.test.ts(x)` |
+| **E2E Tests** | Playwright | Test complete user flows against live Headlamp instance | `e2e/*.spec.ts` |
+| **Type Checking** | TypeScript | Ensure type safety across codebase | `tsc --noEmit` |
+| **Linting** | ESLint | Enforce code style and catch common errors | `eslint src/` |
+| **Formatting** | Prettier | Maintain consistent code formatting | `prettier --check src/` |
+
+### Test Philosophy
+
+1. **Unit tests** focus on business logic (data parsing, score calculation, filtering)
+2. **E2E tests** validate user-facing functionality (navigation, rendering, interactions)
+3. **Both** run automatically in CI on every commit
+4. **Coverage** targets meaningful tests, not arbitrary percentages
+
+---
+
+## Unit Testing
+
+### Framework: Vitest
+
+Vitest is a fast, modern testing framework compatible with Jest APIs but optimized for Vite-based projects.
+
+### Running Unit Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all unit tests
+npm test
+
+# Run in watch mode (re-runs on file changes)
+npm run test:watch
+
+# Run specific test file
+npx vitest src/api/polaris.test.ts
+
+# Run with coverage
+npx vitest --coverage
+```
+
+### Test Structure
+
+Unit tests are colocated with source files:
+
+```
+src/
+├── api/
+│   ├── polaris.ts
+│   ├── polaris.test.ts          # Unit tests for polaris.ts
+│   ├── PolarisDataContext.tsx
+│   └── PolarisDataContext.test.tsx
+└── components/
+    ├── DashboardView.tsx
+    └── DashboardView.test.tsx
+```
+
+### Example: Testing Utility Functions
+
+**File:** `src/api/polaris.test.ts`
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
+import { countResults, computeScore, getNamespaces, filterResultsByNamespace } from './polaris';
+
+describe('countResults', () => {
+  it('counts passing, warning, danger, and skipped results correctly', () => {
+    const data = {
+      Results: [
+        {
+          Name: 'test-deployment',
+          Namespace: 'default',
+          Kind: 'Deployment',
+          Results: {
+            'check-1': { Success: true, Severity: 'warning' },
+            'check-2': { Success: false, Severity: 'danger' },
+            'check-3': { Success: false, Severity: 'ignore' }, // skipped
+          },
+          CreatedTime: '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z',
+        },
+      ],
+    };
+
+    const counts = countResults(data);
+
+    expect(counts).toEqual({
+      total: 3,
+      pass: 1,
+      warning: 0,
+      danger: 1,
+      skipped: 1,
+    });
+  });
+
+  it('handles empty results', () => {
+    const data = { Results: [] };
+    const counts = countResults(data);
+
+    expect(counts).toEqual({
+      total: 0,
+      pass: 0,
+      warning: 0,
+      danger: 0,
+      skipped: 0,
+    });
+  });
+});
+
+describe('computeScore', () => {
+  it('returns 0 for zero total checks', () => {
+    expect(computeScore({ total: 0, pass: 0, warning: 0, danger: 0, skipped: 0 })).toBe(0);
+  });
+
+  it('calculates percentage correctly', () => {
+    expect(computeScore({ total: 100, pass: 75, warning: 20, danger: 5, skipped: 0 })).toBe(75);
+  });
+
+  it('rounds to nearest integer', () => {
+    expect(computeScore({ total: 3, pass: 2, warning: 1, danger: 0, skipped: 0 })).toBe(67);
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### Example: Testing React Components
+
+**File:** `src/components/DashboardView.test.tsx`
+
+```typescript
+import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
+import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
+import { DashboardView } from './DashboardView';
+import * as PolarisDataContext from '../api/PolarisDataContext';
+
+describe('DashboardView', () => {
+  it('renders loading state', () => {
+    vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
+      data: null,
+      loading: true,
+      error: null,
+      refresh: vi.fn(),
+    });
+
+    render(<DashboardView />);
+    expect(screen.getByText(/loading/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+
+  it('renders error state', () => {
+    vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
+      data: null,
+      loading: false,
+      error: '403 Forbidden',
+      refresh: vi.fn(),
+    });
+
+    render(<DashboardView />);
+    expect(screen.getByText(/403 Forbidden/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+
+  it('displays cluster score when data is loaded', () => {
+    const mockData = {
+      DisplayName: 'test-cluster',
+      ClusterInfo: { Version: '1.27', Nodes: 3, Pods: 100, Namespaces: 10, Controllers: 50 },
+      Results: [/* ... */],
+    };
+
+    vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
+      data: mockData,
+      loading: false,
+      error: null,
+      refresh: vi.fn(),
+    });
+
+    render(<DashboardView />);
+    expect(screen.getByText(/Cluster Score/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
+  });
+});
+```
+
+### What to Unit Test
+
+✅ **Do test:**
+- Pure functions (score calculation, filtering, data transformation)
+- Data parsing and validation
+- Utility functions
+- Error handling logic
+- Edge cases (empty arrays, null values, invalid input)
+
+❌ **Don't test:**
+- Third-party libraries (Headlamp, React)
+- Simple prop passing
+- Trivial getters/setters
+- Implementation details (internal state)
+
+---
+
+## E2E Testing
+
+### Framework: Playwright
+
+Playwright provides cross-browser testing with auto-wait, network interception, and screenshot/video capture.
+
+### Running E2E Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all E2E tests (headless)
+npm run e2e
+
+# Run with browser visible (headed mode)
+npm run e2e:headed
+
+# Run specific test file
+npx playwright test e2e/polaris.spec.ts
+
+# Debug mode (step through tests)
+npx playwright test --debug
+
+# Generate trace for debugging
+npx playwright test --trace on
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
+```
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+**1. Headlamp Instance**
+
+E2E tests require a running Headlamp instance with:
+- Polaris plugin installed (version being tested)
+- Polaris dashboard deployed and accessible
+- RBAC configured (service proxy permissions)
+
+**2. Authentication**
+
+Choose one of two authentication methods:
+
+**Option A: OIDC via Authentik**
+
+```bash
+export AUTHENTIK_USERNAME="user@example.com"
+export AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD="password"
+export HEADLAMP_URL="https://headlamp.example.com"
+npm run e2e
+```
+
+**Option B: Kubernetes Token**
+
+```bash
+# Create token
+export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system --duration=24h)
+
+# Port-forward for local testing
+kubectl port-forward -n kube-system svc/headlamp 4466:80
+
+# Run tests
+HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e
+```
+
+**3. Environment Variables**
+
+Create `.env` file (optional, for persistent config):
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+Edit `.env`:
+
+```bash
+HEADLAMP_URL=https://headlamp.example.com
+HEADLAMP_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOi...
+# OR
+AUTHENTIK_USERNAME=user@example.com
+AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD=secret
+```
+
+### Test Coverage
+
+#### Current E2E Tests
+
+**File:** `e2e/polaris.spec.ts`
+
+| Test | Description | Validates |
+|------|-------------|-----------|
+| `sidebar contains Polaris entry` | Polaris appears in sidebar | Plugin registration |
+| `overview page renders cluster score` | Score displayed on overview | Data fetching, rendering |
+| `namespaces page renders table` | Namespace table loads | Data parsing, table rendering |
+| `namespace detail drawer opens` | Clicking namespace shows drawer | Navigation, drawer UI |
+| `namespace detail drawer closes with Escape` | Keyboard shortcut works | Keyboard navigation |
+| `namespace detail drawer opens from URL hash` | Direct URL navigation | URL routing, deep linking |
+
+**File:** `e2e/settings.spec.ts`
+
+| Test | Description | Validates |
+|------|-------------|-----------|
+| `plugin settings page is accessible` | Settings page loads | Settings registration |
+| `refresh interval can be changed` | Dropdown works | User preference persistence |
+| `dashboard URL can be customized` | Input field works | URL configuration |
+| `connection test button works` | Test functionality | API connectivity validation |
+
+**File:** `e2e/appbar.spec.ts`
+
+| Test | Description | Validates |
+|------|-------------|-----------|
+| `app bar displays Polaris badge` | Badge visible in header | App bar integration |
+| `badge shows cluster score` | Score matches dashboard | Data consistency |
+| `clicking badge navigates to overview` | Navigation works | App bar action |
+| `badge color reflects score` | Red/yellow/green based on score | Visual feedback |
+
+### Writing E2E Tests
+
+**Example: Testing User Flow**
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('user can view namespace details and navigate back', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Navigate to namespaces page
+  await page.goto('/c/main/polaris/namespaces');
+  await expect(page.getByText('Polaris — Namespaces')).toBeVisible();
+
+  // Click first namespace
+  const firstNamespace = page.locator('table tbody tr').first();
+  const namespaceName = await firstNamespace.locator('td').first().textContent();
+  await firstNamespace.getByRole('button').click();
+
+  // Drawer should open
+  await expect(page.getByText(`Polaris — ${namespaceName}`)).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(new RegExp(`#${namespaceName}`));
+
+  // Close drawer with Escape
+  await page.keyboard.press('Escape');
+  await expect(page.getByText(`Polaris — ${namespaceName}`)).not.toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/namespaces$/);
+});
+```
+
+**Example: Testing Dark Mode Adaptation**
+
+```typescript
+test('plugin adapts to dark mode', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/c/main/polaris/namespaces');
+
+  // Toggle dark mode
+  await page.getByLabel(/theme/i).click();
+
+  // Open namespace drawer
+  const firstNamespace = page.locator('table tbody tr button').first();
+  await firstNamespace.click();
+
+  // Drawer background should be dark
+  const drawer = page.locator('[style*="position: fixed"][style*="right: 0"]');
+  await expect(drawer).toHaveCSS('background-color', /rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)/);
+});
+```
+
+### Debugging E2E Tests
+
+**1. Headed Mode (See Browser)**
+
+```bash
+npm run e2e:headed
+```
+
+**2. Debug Mode (Step Through Tests)**
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test --debug
+```
+
+This opens Playwright Inspector where you can:
+- Step through each test action
+- Inspect page state
+- Edit test selectors live
+
+**3. Screenshots on Failure**
+
+Screenshots are automatically saved to `test-results/` on failure:
+
+```bash
+test-results/
+└── polaris-overview-page-renders-cluster-score/
+    ├── test-failed-1.png
+    └── trace.zip
+```
+
+**4. Trace Viewer**
+
+Record full trace (DOM snapshots, network, console):
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test --trace on
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
+```
+
+**5. Verbose Logging**
+
+```bash
+DEBUG=pw:api npx playwright test
+```
+
+---
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+### GitHub Actions Workflows
+
+#### CI Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yaml`)
+
+Runs on every push to `main` and all pull requests:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  lint-and-test:
+    steps:
+      - Build plugin
+      - Lint (eslint)
+      - Type-check (tsc)
+      - Format check (prettier)
+      - Run unit tests
+```
+
+#### E2E Workflow (`.github/workflows/e2e.yaml`)
+
+Runs E2E tests against live Headlamp instance:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  e2e:
+    steps:
+      - Install dependencies
+      - Install Playwright browsers
+      - Run auth setup
+      - Run E2E tests
+      - Upload artifacts on failure
+```
+
+### Required GitHub Secrets
+
+Configure in GitHub repository settings (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions):
+
+| Secret | Required | Description |
+|--------|----------|-------------|
+| `HEADLAMP_URL` | Optional | Headlamp instance URL (defaults to configured instance) |
+| `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` | OIDC | Authentik username/email for CI user |
+| `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` | OIDC | Authentik password |
+| `HEADLAMP_TOKEN` | Token | Kubernetes service account token (alternative to OIDC) |
+
+Set either `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` + `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` **or** `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`. OIDC takes priority if both are set.
+
+### Manual Trigger
+
+Trigger workflows manually from GitHub Actions UI:
+
+1. Go to Actions → [Workflow Name]
+2. Click "Run workflow"
+3. Select branch and run

+### Generating Coverage Reports
+
+```bash
+# Unit test coverage
+npx vitest --coverage
+
+# View HTML report
+open coverage/index.html
+```
+
+---
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Unit Testing
+
+1. **Test behavior, not implementation**
+   - ✅ `expect(computeScore({ total: 100, pass: 75 })).toBe(75)`
+   - ❌ `expect(mockInternalFunction).toHaveBeenCalled()`
+
+2. **Use descriptive test names**
+   - ✅ `it('returns 0 when total checks is zero')`
+   - ❌ `it('works')`
+
+3. **One assertion per test (when possible)**
+   - Makes failures easier to debug
+   - Exceptions: testing multiple properties of same object
+
+4. **Mock external dependencies**
+   - Mock API calls, context providers, external libraries
+   - Don't mock the code you're testing
+
+5. **Test edge cases**
+   - Empty arrays, null values, zero counts
+   - Invalid input, malformed data
+
+### E2E Testing
+
+1. **Use semantic selectors**
+   - ✅ `page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Close' })`
+   - ✅ `page.getByText('Polaris — Overview')`
+   - ❌ `page.locator('.MuiButton-root')`
+
+2. **Wait for visibility, not arbitrary timeouts**
+   - ✅ `await expect(element).toBeVisible()`
+   - ❌ `await page.waitForTimeout(5000)`
+
+3. **Keep tests independent**
+   - Each test should work in isolation
+   - Don't rely on previous tests' state
+
+4. **Test complete user flows**
+   - Navigate → Interact → Verify outcome
+   - Don't just test page loads
+
+5. **Clean up after tests**
+   - Close drawers/modals
+   - Reset state if needed
+
+6. **Use storage state for auth**
+   - Reuse authenticated session across tests
+   - Faster than logging in for every test
+
+7. **Parallelize carefully**
+   - Tests must not interfere with each other
+   - Currently disabled due to shared cluster state
+
+### General
+
+1. **Run tests before committing**
+   ```bash
+   npm run build && npm run lint && npm test
+   ```
+
+2. **Fix failing tests immediately**
+   - Don't commit failing tests
+   - Don't skip tests to "fix later"
+
+3. **Update tests when changing code**
+   - Tests are documentation
+   - Keep them in sync with implementation
+
+4. **Review test failures in CI**
+   - Check artifacts (screenshots, traces)
+   - Reproduce locally before fixing
+

+
+## Debugging
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Unit Tests
+
+**Issue: Mock not working**
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Wrong: Mock after import
+import { usePolarisData } from './polaris';
+vi.mock('./polaris');
+
+// ✅ Correct: Mock before import
+vi.mock('./polaris', () => ({
+  usePolarisData: vi.fn(),
+}));
+import { usePolarisData } from './polaris';
+```
+
+**Issue: "Cannot read property of undefined"**
+
+Check mocks are returning expected structure:
+
+```typescript
+vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
+  data: mockData,    // Ensure mockData has all required fields
+  loading: false,
+  error: null,
+  refresh: vi.fn(),
+});
+```
+
+#### E2E Tests
+
+**Issue: "Element not found"**
+
+```bash
+# Enable verbose logging
+DEBUG=pw:api npx playwright test
+
+# Use headed mode to see what's happening
+npm run e2e:headed
+```
+
+Common causes:
+- Element hasn't rendered yet (use `toBeVisible()` instead of `toBeDefined()`)
+- Wrong selector (use Playwright Inspector to verify)
+- Authentication failed (check token/credentials)
+
+**Issue: "Test timeout"**
+
+Increase timeout for slow operations:
+
+```typescript
+test('slow operation', async ({ page }) => {
+  test.setTimeout(60000); // 60 seconds
+
+  await page.goto('/c/main/polaris');
+  // ...
+});
+```
+
+**Issue: Network errors in E2E tests**
+
+```bash
+# Check Headlamp accessibility
+curl -I $HEADLAMP_URL
+
+# Check Polaris service
+kubectl -n polaris get svc polaris-dashboard
+kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
+```
+
+### Useful Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run specific test file
+npx vitest src/api/polaris.test.ts
+
+# Run specific test case
+npx vitest -t "computes score correctly"
+
+# Run E2E test by name
+npx playwright test -g "sidebar contains Polaris"
+
+# Update snapshots
+npx vitest -u
+
+# Clear test cache
+npx vitest --clearCache
+```

+## Plugin Not Showing in Sidebar
+
+### Symptoms
+- Plugin appears in Settings → Plugins but sidebar entry is missing
+- No "Polaris" section in navigation
+- Routes like `/polaris` return 404 or blank page
+
+### Common Causes
+
+**1. Headlamp v0.39.0+ Plugin Loading Issue**
+
+**Root Cause**: Headlamp v0.39.0+ changed plugin loading behavior. With `config.watchPlugins: true` (default), catalog-managed plugins are treated as "development directory" plugins, causing the backend to serve metadata but frontend to never execute the JavaScript.
+
+**Solution**: Set `config.watchPlugins: false` in Headlamp configuration.
+
+```yaml
+# HelmRelease values
+config:
+  watchPlugins: false  # CRITICAL for plugin manager
+```
+
+After applying this change:
+1. Restart Headlamp pod
+2. Hard refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R)
+3. Clear browser cache if needed
+
+**References**: See `deployment/PLUGIN_LOADING_FIX.md` for complete root cause analysis.
+
+**2. Plugin Not Installed**
+
+**Check plugin installation**:
+```bash
+# View Headlamp pod logs (plugin sidecar)
+kubectl logs -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp-plugin
+
+# Expected output:
+# Installing plugin from https://github.com/.../headlamp-polaris-plugin-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
+# Plugin installed successfully
+```
+
+**Verify plugin files exist**:
+```bash
+kubectl exec -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp -- ls -la /headlamp/plugins/
+# Should show: headlamp-polaris-plugin/
+```
+
+**3. JavaScript Cached by Browser**
+
+After upgrading the plugin, old JavaScript may be cached.
+
+**Solution**:
+- Hard refresh: Cmd+Shift+R (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Linux/Windows)
+- Clear browser cache for Headlamp domain
+- Open DevTools → Application → Clear Storage → Clear all
+
+**4. Plugin Disabled in Settings**
+
+**Check Settings → Plugins**:
+- Navigate to Headlamp Settings → Plugins
+- Ensure "Polaris" plugin is enabled (toggle should be ON)
+- If disabled, enable it and refresh the page
+
+---
+
+## 403 Forbidden Error
+
+### Symptoms
+- Error message: "Error loading Polaris audit data: 403 Forbidden"
+- Browser console shows 403 response from API proxy
+- Plugin sidebar shows but data fails to load
+
+### Root Cause
+User or service account lacks `services/proxy` permission on `polaris-dashboard` service in the `polaris` namespace.
+
+### Solution
+
+**1. Verify RBAC Configuration**
+
+Check if Role exists:
+```bash
+kubectl get role polaris-proxy-reader -n polaris -o yaml
+```
+
+Expected output:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Role
+metadata:
+  name: polaris-proxy-reader
+  namespace: polaris
+rules:
+  - apiGroups: [""]
+    resources: ["services/proxy"]
+    resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]
+    verbs: ["get"]
+```
+
+**2. Verify RoleBinding**
+
+For service account mode:
+```bash
+kubectl get rolebinding headlamp-polaris-proxy -n polaris -o yaml
+```
+
+Expected subjects:
+```yaml
+subjects:
+  - kind: ServiceAccount
+    name: headlamp
+    namespace: kube-system
+```
+
+For OIDC mode:
+```bash
+kubectl get rolebinding -n polaris -o yaml | grep -A 5 polaris-proxy-reader
+```
+
+Ensure your user or group is bound to the `polaris-proxy-reader` role.
+
+**3. Create Missing RBAC**
+
+If RBAC is missing, apply the minimal configuration:
+
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: Role
+metadata:
+  name: polaris-proxy-reader
+  namespace: polaris
+rules:
+  - apiGroups: [""]
+    resources: ["services/proxy"]
+    resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]
+    verbs: ["get"]
+---
+apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
+kind: RoleBinding
+metadata:
+  name: headlamp-polaris-proxy
+  namespace: polaris
+subjects:
+  - kind: ServiceAccount
+    name: headlamp
+    namespace: kube-system
+roleRef:
+  kind: Role
+  name: polaris-proxy-reader
+  apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
+EOF
+```
+
+**4. Test RBAC Permissions**
+
+Service account mode:
+```bash
+# Impersonate Headlamp service account
+kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
+  --as=system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp \
+  --resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
+  -n polaris
+# Expected: yes
+```
+
+OIDC mode (test as yourself):
+```bash
+kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
+  --resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
+  -n polaris
+# Expected: yes (if you have proper RoleBinding)
+```
+
+**5. Restart Headlamp**
+
+After applying RBAC changes:
+```bash
+kubectl rollout restart deployment headlamp -n kube-system
+```
+
+---
+
+## 404 Not Found Error
+
+### Symptoms
+- Error message: "Error loading Polaris audit data: 404 Not Found"
+- Service proxy request returns 404
+- Polaris dashboard not reachable
+
+### Root Cause
+Polaris dashboard service doesn't exist or is in a different namespace.
+
+### Solution
+
+**1. Verify Polaris Installation**
+
+Check if Polaris is installed:
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n polaris
+# Expected: polaris-dashboard-* pod running
+```
+
+Check if service exists:
+```bash
+kubectl get service polaris-dashboard -n polaris
+# Expected: ClusterIP service on port 80
+```
+
+**2. Verify Service Name and Port**
+
+The plugin expects:
+- **Namespace**: `polaris`
+- **Service Name**: `polaris-dashboard`
+- **Port**: `80` (or named port `dashboard`)
+
+If your service has a different name or is in a different namespace, you'll need to modify the plugin source or redeploy Polaris with standard naming.
+
+**3. Test Service Proxy Manually**
+
+```bash
+kubectl proxy &
+curl http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
+```
+
+If this returns JSON, the service proxy works and the issue is elsewhere.
+If this returns 404, Polaris service is not configured correctly.
+
+**4. Check Polaris Dashboard Configuration**
+
+Verify Polaris is running with dashboard enabled:
+```bash
+kubectl get deployment polaris-dashboard -n polaris -o yaml | grep -A 5 dashboard
+```
+
+If `dashboard.enabled: false` in Helm values, enable it:
+```yaml
+# values.yaml
+dashboard:
+  enabled: true
+```
+
+**5. Reinstall Polaris**
+
+If Polaris is missing or misconfigured:
+```bash
+helm repo add fairwinds-stable https://charts.fairwinds.com/stable
+helm upgrade --install polaris fairwinds-stable/polaris \
+  --namespace polaris \
+  --create-namespace \
+  --set dashboard.enabled=true
+```
+
+---
+
+## Plugin Settings Page Empty
+
+### Symptoms
+- Settings → Polaris shows title but no content
+- Refresh interval and dashboard URL fields not visible
+
+### Root Cause (Fixed in v0.3.3)
+Plugin settings registration name didn't match `package.json` name.
+
+### Solution
+
+Upgrade to v0.3.3 or later:
+```bash
+# Via Headlamp UI: Settings → Plugins → Update
+# Or redeploy with latest version
+```
+
+If manually installing, ensure plugin name matches `package.json`:
+```typescript
+registerPluginSettings('headlamp-polaris-plugin', PolarisSettings, true);
+// NOT 'polaris' — must match package.json name
+```
+
+---
+
+## Dark Mode Issues
+
+### Symptoms
+- Drawer background remains white in dark mode
+- Text is hard to read in dark mode
+- Theme colors don't match Headlamp UI
+
+### Solution (Fixed in v0.3.5)
+
+Upgrade to v0.3.5 or later for complete dark mode support.
+
+**Verify CSS Variables**:
+The plugin uses MUI CSS variables for theming:
+- `--mui-palette-background-default` (drawer background)
+- `--mui-palette-text-primary` (text color)
+- `--mui-palette-primary-main` (links, buttons)
+- `--mui-palette-error-main` (danger states)
+
+These automatically adapt to Headlamp's theme (light/dark/system).
+
+**Hard Refresh Required**:
+After upgrading from v0.3.4 or earlier, hard refresh your browser:
+- macOS: Cmd+Shift+R
+- Linux/Windows: Ctrl+Shift+R
+
+**Clear Browser Cache**:
+If hard refresh doesn't help, clear cache for Headlamp domain.
+
+---
+
+## Data Not Loading / Infinite Spinner
+
+### Symptoms
+- Plugin shows "Loading Polaris audit data..." forever
+- No error message in UI
+- Data never appears
+
+### Debugging Steps
+
+**1. Check Browser Console**
+
+Open DevTools (F12) → Console tab.
+
+Look for:
+- Network errors (CORS, timeouts, 5xx responses)
+- JavaScript errors
+- Failed API requests
+
+**2. Check Network Tab**
+
+Open DevTools → Network tab → Filter by "results.json"
+
+Expected request:
+```
+GET /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
+Status: 200
+Response: JSON data
+```
+
+Common issues:
+- **Status 0 / Failed**: Network policy blocking request
+- **Status 403**: RBAC issue (see [403 Forbidden Error](#403-forbidden-error))
+- **Status 404**: Service not found (see [404 Not Found Error](#404-not-found-error))
+- **Status 500**: Polaris dashboard error
+- **Status 502/504**: Service unreachable (network policy or pod down)
+
+**3. Check Polaris Dashboard Health**
+
+```bash
+# Check if Polaris pod is running
+kubectl get pods -n polaris
+
+# Check Polaris logs
+kubectl logs -n polaris deployment/polaris-dashboard
+
+# Test direct access to Polaris
+kubectl port-forward -n polaris svc/polaris-dashboard 8080:80
+curl http://localhost:8080/results.json
+```
+
+**4. Check Network Policies**
+
+If your cluster uses NetworkPolicies:
+```bash
+kubectl get networkpolicy -n polaris
+```
+
+Ensure API server (or Headlamp pod) can reach Polaris dashboard.
+
+**Example fix**:
+```yaml
+apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
+kind: NetworkPolicy
+metadata:
+  name: allow-api-server-to-polaris
+  namespace: polaris
+spec:
+  podSelector:
+    matchLabels:
+      app.kubernetes.io/name: polaris
+  policyTypes:
+    - Ingress
+  ingress:
+    - from:
+        - namespaceSelector: {}  # Allow from all namespaces (API server)
+      ports:
+        - protocol: TCP
+          port: 8080
+```
+
+**5. Increase Timeout / Disable Auto-Refresh**
+
+If Polaris responds slowly:
+- Open Settings → Polaris
+- Increase refresh interval to 10+ minutes
+- Or set to "Manual only" to disable auto-refresh
+
+---
+
+## Browser Console Errors
+
+### Common Errors and Solutions
+
+**Error: "Failed to fetch"**
+
+**Cause**: Network request failed (CORS, network policy, timeout)
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check Network tab for actual HTTP status
+2. Verify network policies allow API server → Polaris
+3. Check Polaris pod is running
+
+---
+
+**Error: "Unexpected token < in JSON"**
+
+**Cause**: API returned HTML (error page) instead of JSON
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check Network tab response body (likely 404 or 500 error page)
+2. Verify Polaris service exists and is healthy
+3. Check service proxy URL is correct
+
+---
+
+**Error: "registerPluginSettings is not a function"**
+
+**Cause**: Headlamp version too old (< v0.26)
+
+**Solution**: Upgrade Headlamp to v0.26 or later.
+
+---
+
+**Error: "Cannot read property 'AuditData' of undefined"**
+
+**Cause**: Polaris returned empty or malformed response
+
+**Solution**:
+1. Check Polaris logs for errors
+2. Verify Polaris is scanning the cluster (check audit timestamp)
+3. Test `/results.json` endpoint directly
+
+---
+
+## Network and RBAC Debugging
+
+### Comprehensive RBAC Test
+
+Run this script to test all RBAC components:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+NS="polaris"
+SA="headlamp"
+SA_NS="kube-system"
+
+echo "=== Testing RBAC for Polaris Plugin ==="
+
+# 1. Check if service exists
+echo "1. Service check:"
+kubectl get svc polaris-dashboard -n $NS || echo "❌ Service not found"
+
+# 2. Check if Role exists
+echo "2. Role check:"
+kubectl get role polaris-proxy-reader -n $NS || echo "❌ Role not found"
+
+# 3. Check if RoleBinding exists
+echo "3. RoleBinding check:"
+kubectl get rolebinding headlamp-polaris-proxy -n $NS || echo "❌ RoleBinding not found"
+
+# 4. Test service account permissions
+echo "4. Permission test (service account):"
+kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
+  --as=system:serviceaccount:$SA_NS:$SA \
+  --resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
+  -n $NS
+
+# 5. Test actual proxy request (requires kubectl proxy)
+echo "5. Proxy test:"
+kubectl proxy &
+PROXY_PID=$!
+sleep 2
+curl -s http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/$NS/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json | jq '.DisplayName' || echo "❌ Proxy request failed"
+kill $PROXY_PID
+
+echo "=== Test complete ==="
+```
+
+### Network Policy Debugging
+
+Test connectivity from Headlamp to Polaris:
+
+```bash
+# Create debug pod in kube-system namespace
+kubectl run netdebug -n kube-system --rm -it --image=nicolaka/netshoot -- bash
+
+# Inside pod, test DNS and HTTP
+nslookup polaris-dashboard.polaris.svc.cluster.local
+curl -v http://polaris-dashboard.polaris.svc.cluster.local/results.json
+```
+
+If this fails, network policies are blocking traffic.
+
+### API Server Audit Logs
+
+If you have audit logging enabled, check for denied requests:
+
+```bash
+# View recent audit logs (location varies by cluster)
+kubectl logs -n kube-system kube-apiserver-* | grep polaris-dashboard
+
+# Look for lines with:
+# "reason": "Forbidden"
+# "user": "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Plugin Installation Issues
+
+### Sidecar Fails to Install Plugin
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Plugin sidecar logs show download errors
+- Plugin directory is empty
+- Settings → Plugins shows nothing
+
+**Check sidecar logs**:
+```bash
+kubectl logs -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp-plugin
+```
+
+**Common errors**:
+
+**1. Network timeout downloading tarball**
+
+```
+Error: connect ETIMEDOUT
+```
+
+**Solution**: Check cluster egress network policies allow HTTPS to GitHub.
+
+---
+
+**2. Invalid tarball URL**
+
+```
+Error: 404 Not Found
+```
+
+**Solution**: Verify `archive-url` in plugin config matches GitHub release:
+```bash
+kubectl get configmap headlamp-plugin-config -n kube-system -o yaml
+```
+
+Expected format:
+```
+https://github.com/cpfarhood/headlamp-polaris-plugin/releases/download/v0.3.5/headlamp-polaris-plugin-0.3.5.tar.gz
+```
+
+---
+
+**3. Permission denied writing to /headlamp/plugins**
+
+**Solution**: Ensure volume mount is writable:
+```yaml
+volumeMounts:
+  - name: plugins
+    mountPath: /headlamp/plugins
+```
+
+---
+
+### Plugin Manager Not Working
+
+**Symptoms**:
+- Headlamp → Settings → Plugins shows "Catalog" tab but plugins don't install
+- "Install" button does nothing
+
+**Root Cause**: Plugin manager requires `config.pluginsDir` to be set.
+
+**Solution**: Configure Headlamp for plugin manager:
+```yaml
+# HelmRelease values
+config:
+  pluginsDir: /headlamp/plugins
+  watchPlugins: false  # CRITICAL for v0.39.0+
+```
+
+---
+
+## ArtifactHub Sync Delays
+
+### Symptoms
+- New version released on GitHub but not showing in ArtifactHub
+- Headlamp plugin catalog shows old version
+
+### Root Cause
+ArtifactHub pulls metadata every 30 minutes. There is no webhook or push mechanism.
+
+### Solution
+
+**Wait 30 minutes** after pushing a GitHub release, then check:
+```
+https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/headlamp-polaris-plugin/headlamp-polaris-plugin
+```
+
+**Verify metadata**:
+1. Check `artifacthub-pkg.yml` is in repository root
+2. Check `headlamp/plugin/archive-url` points to GitHub release
+3. Check `headlamp/plugin/archive-checksum` matches tarball SHA256
+
+**Force sync** (ArtifactHub UI):
+- Log in to ArtifactHub as package maintainer
+- Go to package settings
+- Click "Reindex now"
+
+**Note**: First sync after repository registration may take up to 1 hour.
+
+---
