 # UAT Procedures
 
 ## Purpose
 
-This skill defines **functional User Acceptance Testing** for all Privileged Escalation Headlamp plugins. UAT validates that plugins work correctly in the deployed environment — by exercising plugin features in a running Headlamp instance, not by reviewing code or CI results.
+This skill defines **functional User Acceptance Testing** for all Privileged Escalation Headlamp plugins. UAT validates that plugins work correctly in the deployed environment — by loading plugins in a running Headlamp instance and exercising their features.
 
-## UAT Environment
+## Pipeline Stage
 
-The UAT Headlamp instance runs in the `headlamp-uat` Kubernetes namespace. Navigate to the Headlamp UAT URL using your Playwright browser. The plugin under test must be deployed to UAT before testing begins.
+UAT is the final promotion gate before production: `uat → main`. Pixel Patty (UAT agent) validates the deployed application via Playwright browser testing before merging.
+
+## Per-Plugin Testing Procedures
+
+Detailed, up-to-date testing procedures for each plugin are maintained in the plugin's own repository at `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md`. This is the authoritative source — do not copy procedure details into this skill.
+
+| Plugin | Repository |
+|--------|------------|
+| headlamp-polaris-plugin | `polaris` |
+| headlamp-sealed-secrets-plugin | `sealed-secrets` |
+| headlamp-intel-gpu-plugin | `intel-gpu` |
+| headlamp-kube-vip-plugin | `kube-vip` |
+| headlamp-tns-csi-plugin | `tns-csi` |
+| headlamp-rook-plugin | `rook` |
+| headlamp-argocd-plugin | `argocd` |
+
+Each plugin's `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` contains:
+
+- Access path (sidebar entry or app bar location)
+- Step-by-step test actions
+- Expected results for each step
+- Pass/fail criteria
+- Artifact requirements (screenshots, console errors, environment info)

-## Acceptance Criteria
-
-A plugin passes UAT when:
-
-- **Plugin loads** — sidebar entry or app bar action is visible and accessible
-- **Features work** — all core features in the playbook execute without errors
-- **No console errors** — browser console shows no errors during normal operation
-- **Data matches cluster state** — plugin data is consistent with `kubectl` queries against the cluster
-
-A plugin fails UAT when:
-
-- Plugin does not load or renders only an error state
-- Any core feature is inaccessible or produces errors
-- Console errors are present and not explainable as unrelated noise
-- Displayed data contradicts known cluster state
-
-## Artifact Requirements
+## UAT Artifacts
 
 For each plugin tested, the UAT report must include:
 
 1. **Screenshots** of the plugin running in Headlamp — sidebar entry visible, main view loaded, at least one detail view
-2. **Test checklist** — each step from `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` marked pass/fail
+2. **Test checklist** — each step from the playbook marked pass/fail
 3. **Console errors** — any browser console errors observed (attach screenshot if present)
-4. **Environment info** — Headlamp version, plugin version, browser used, namespace context
-
-## Reading UAT_PLAYBOOK.md
-
-Each plugin repository contains a `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` in its root directory. That file contains the canonical test steps for that specific plugin. Before running UAT, read the relevant playbook to know:
-
-- Which features to exercise
-- What the expected results are
-- What screenshots to capture at each step
-
-If `UAT_PLAYBOOK.md` does not exist for a plugin, treat that as a gap — report it in the UAT findings and flag it as a documentation issue.
+4. **Environment** — Headlamp version, plugin version, browser used
 
 ## Decision Criteria
 
-- **Approve** the `uat→main` promotion when all applicable test steps from the playbook pass and no console errors are present
-- **Request changes** when any test step fails — include specific failing steps, observed results vs. expected results, and failure screenshots
-- **Block** if the plugin fails to load entirely — escalate to CTO as a deployment issue requiring immediate resolution
+- **Approve** the `uat→main` PR when all applicable test steps pass
