## 🔴 Failing Tests (4 Total)

### 1️⃣ Review Findings Panel - Dashboard (test_dashboard.spec.ts:51)
```
Root Cause:  Dashboard hardcodes reviewResult={null}
Evidence:    ✅ Database has 7 reviews | ❌ API returns 404 | ❌ Frontend shows empty state
Fix:         Implement GET /api/projects/{project_id}/code-reviews endpoint
Effort:      2 hours
Impact:      Fixes 1 test
Priority:    🔴 P0 (High)
```

### 2️⃣ Review Findings Panel - Review UI (test_review_ui.spec.ts:29)
```
Root Cause:  Same as #1 (missing API endpoint)
Evidence:    Same as #1
Fix:         Same as #1 (API endpoint will fix both tests)
Effort:      Included in #1
Impact:      Fixes 1 test (total: 2 tests from 1 fix)
Priority:    🔴 P0 (High)
```

### 3️⃣ WebSocket Connection (test_dashboard.spec.ts:134)
```
Root Cause:  Test expects WebSocket, Dashboard doesn't establish connection
Evidence:    ✅ AgentStateProvider exists | ❌ Dashboard doesn't call ws.connect()
Fix:         Update test to check Provider connection OR skip test
Effort:      30 minutes
Impact:      Fixes 1 test
Priority:    🟡 P1 (Medium)
```

### 4️⃣ Checkpoint Validation (test_checkpoint_ui.spec.ts:76)
```
Root Cause:  Test expects error message, component uses disabled button
Evidence:    ✅ Button disables when name empty | ❌ Test can't click disabled button
Fix:         Update test to check disabled state instead of error message
Effort:      15 minutes
Impact:      Fixes 1 test
Priority:    🟡 P1 (Medium)
```

## 🚀 Quick Start Guide

### For Developers (Fixing Tests)
```bash
# 1. Read executive summary
cat PHASE2C_INVESTIGATION_SUMMARY.md

# 2. Understand root causes
cat ROOT_CAUSE_ANALYSIS.md | grep -A 10 "Root Cause"

# 3. Follow implementation plan
cat FIX_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | grep -A 50 "Step 1.1"

# 4. Validate fixes
npm test -- test_dashboard.spec.ts:51 --project=chromium
```

### For Reproducers (Debugging)
```bash
# 1. Read reproduction guide
cat REPRODUCTION_GUIDE.md

# 2. Reproduce failure #1 (Review Findings Panel)
curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/projects/2/code-reviews
# Expected: {"detail": "Not Found"}

# 3. Run test with trace
npx playwright test test_dashboard.spec.ts:51 --trace on

# 4. View trace
npx playwright show-trace test-results/.../trace.zip
```

### For Managers (Progress Tracking)
```bash
# 1. Read executive summary
cat PHASE2C_INVESTIGATION_SUMMARY.md | head -50

# 2. Check phase comparison
cat PHASE_COMPARISON_ANALYSIS.md | grep -A 10 "Test Pass Rate Progression"

# 3. View fix roadmap
cat FIX_IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md | grep -A 10 "Fix Priority Matrix"
```

## 💡 Key Insights

### Why Tests Are Failing
```
❌ NOT component bugs (frontend renders correctly)
❌ NOT data issues (database has correct data)
✅ MISSING API INTEGRATION (endpoints not implemented)
✅ TEST-COMPONENT MISMATCH (expectations vs. behavior)
```

### Why Phase 1 Was Successful
```
✅ Fixed project-agent associations (foreign key added)
✅ Enabled project-scoped data fetching (8 tests now pass)
✅ No regressions introduced (targeted fix)
✅ Remaining failures are unrelated (different root causes)
```

### High-Leverage Fix Opportunity
```
🎯 Implementing 1 API endpoint (Project Code Reviews)
   └── Fixes 2 tests immediately (+5 percentage points)
   └── 2-hour implementation time
   └── High ROI (25% of remaining failures fixed)
```
