Chris Farhood 3abfe53a1e Refactor UAT skill: delegate to UAT_PLAYBOOK.md per plugin
- Rewrite skills/uat/SKILL.md to be a general UAT overview that
  delegates per-plugin test procedures to UAT_PLAYBOOK.md in each
  plugin repository (authoritative source of truth)
- Add "What UAT Is NOT" section to explicitly prevent GitHub-browsing
  anti-pattern
- Update SDLC skill to require UAT_PLAYBOOK.md as a required deliverable
  alongside code changes affecting plugin testing
- Create UAT_PLAYBOOK.md in sealed-secrets and rook plugin repos

uat Functional UAT procedures for Privileged Escalation Headlamp plugins. Delegates per-plugin testing procedures to UAT_PLAYBOOK.md in each plugin repository.

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 loading plugins in a running Headlamp instance and exercising their features, not by browsing GitHub or inspecting PR diffs.

What UAT Is NOT

  • Browsing GitHub PRs and taking screenshots of code diffs
  • Checking CI status on GitHub
  • Reading commit messages or PR descriptions
  • Approving based on QA's review alone

If your test evidence is screenshots of GitHub pages, you are not performing UAT.

Pipeline Stage

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)

General Process

For every uat→main promotion:

  1. Open the Headlamp UAT instance in the browser
  2. Confirm the plugin appears in the sidebar or app bar
  3. Retrieve the plugin's UAT_PLAYBOOK.md from its repository
  4. Execute the test steps in the playbook
  5. Capture screenshots of the running plugin at each verification step
  6. Check the browser console for errors
  7. Post a structured test report (see Artifacts section)

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 the playbook marked pass/fail
  3. Console errors — any browser console errors observed (attach screenshot if present)
  4. Environment — Headlamp version, plugin version, browser used

Decision Criteria

  • Approve the uat→main PR when all applicable test steps pass
  • Request changes with specific failing steps and failure screenshots
  • Block if the plugin fails to load entirely — escalate to CTO as a deployment issue
