| **Type Definition** | `/packages/mcp-server/src/types.ts:311` | ✅ PASS | Proper WebSocket message type |
| **WebSocket Handler** | `/packages/ui/src/hooks/useWebSocket.ts:430-441` | ✅ PASS | Dual store update pattern |
| **Zod Schema** | `/packages/mcp-server/src/index.ts:140-150` | ✅ PASS | Enum validation for complexity |
| **Tool Registration** | `/packages/mcp-server/src/index.ts:455-498` | ✅ PASS | Correct schema definition |
| **Tool Switch Case** | `/packages/mcp-server/src/index.ts:752-767` | ✅ PASS | Proper argument parsing |

### Key Implementation Details

#### 1. Handler Function (`handleUpdateNodeDetail`)

```typescript
export function handleUpdateNodeDetail(
  nodeId: string,
  updates: {
    title?: string;
    description?: string;
    complexity?: 'low' | 'medium' | 'high';
    expectedOutput?: string;
    risks?: string;
  },
  projectId?: string
)
```

**Verified Features:**
- ✅ Partial updates: Only provided fields are modified
- ✅ Project ID handling: Uses provided or current project
- ✅ Node existence check: Returns error if node not found
- ✅ Conditional field updates: Each field checked with `if (updates.X !== undefined)`
- ✅ WebSocket broadcast: Sends `node_detail_updated` message
- ✅ Return value: Includes updated node snapshot

**Error Handling:**
- ✅ Missing project: Returns error message
- ✅ Invalid node ID: Returns `success: false` with descriptive message
- ✅ Empty updates: Handles gracefully (no-op)

#### 2. WebSocket Message Flow

**Server → Client Message:**
```typescript
{
  type: 'node_detail_updated',
  nodeId: string,
  updates: Partial<PlanNode>,
  projectId?: string
}
```

**Client Handler (`useWebSocket.ts:430-441`):**
```typescript
case 'node_detail_updated': {
  // Update legacy store
  usePlanStore.getState().updateNode(message.nodeId, message.updates);

  // Update multi-project store
  if (projectId) {
    multiProjectStore.getState().updateProjectNode(
      projectId,
      message.nodeId,
      message.updates
    );
  }
  break;
}
```

**Verified:**
- ✅ Dual store update ensures backward compatibility
- ✅ Multi-project support via projectId check
- ✅ Optimistic update pattern (no confirmation needed)

#### 3. Schema Validation (Zod)

```typescript
const UpdateNodeDetailSchema = z.object({
  node_id: z.string(),
  updates: z.object({
    title: z.string().optional(),
    description: z.string().optional(),
    complexity: z.enum(['low', 'medium', 'high']).optional(),
    expectedOutput: z.string().optional(),
    risks: z.string().optional(),
  }),
  project_id: z.string().optional(),
});
```

**Verified:**
- ✅ `node_id` is required
- ✅ `updates` is required (but can be empty object)
- ✅ All update fields are optional
- ✅ `complexity` has enum validation (prevents invalid values)
- ✅ `project_id` is optional (uses current if not provided)

## Test Scenarios Overview

### ✅ Functional Tests (8 scenarios)

| # | Test Name | Objective | Expected Result |
|---|-----------|-----------|-----------------|
| 1 | **Single Field Update** | Update only title | Other fields unchanged |
| 2 | **Multiple Fields** | Update title + description + complexity | All 3 fields updated |
| 3 | **Complexity Values** | Test 'low', 'medium', 'high' | Correct badge rendering |
| 4 | **Invalid Node ID** | Error handling | Returns `success: false` |
| 5 | **WebSocket Real-time** | Live update propagation | UI updates immediately |
| 6 | **Expected Output** | Update expectedOutput field | Displayed in NodeDetailPanel |
| 7 | **Risks Field** | Update risks field | Displayed with formatting |
| 8 | **Multi-Project** | Test projectId scoping | No cross-project contamination |
| 9 | **Empty Updates** | Edge case: `updates: {}` | No-op, no errors |
| 10 | **During Execution** | Update active node | Status unchanged, details updated |

### ✅ Regression Tests (7 areas)

1. **Plan Submission** - Verify submit_plan still works
2. **Node Status Updates** - Verify update_node_status unchanged
3. **Branch Selection** - Verify edge styling correct
4. **Approval Flow** - Verify get_approval flow intact
5. **Multi-Project Tabs** - Verify tab switching works
6. **WebSocket Connection** - Verify reconnection logic
7. **Node Detail Panel** - Verify all fields display correctly

---

## Critical Findings

### ✅ Strengths

1. **Type Safety:** Zod schema enforces correct types at runtime
2. **Partial Updates:** Efficient - only sends changed fields
3. **Multi-Project Support:** Properly scoped with optional projectId
4. **Error Handling:** Clear error messages for invalid inputs
5. **Real-time Updates:** WebSocket broadcast ensures UI sync
6. **Backward Compatibility:** Updates both legacy and multi-project stores

### ⚠️ Potential Issues (Low Risk)

1. **No String Length Validation**
   - **Issue:** Schema accepts unlimited string length
   - **Impact:** Very long strings could affect UI rendering
   - **Risk:** LOW (unlikely in normal usage)
   - **Mitigation:** Add max length validation if needed

2. **Race Conditions with Rapid Updates**
   - **Issue:** Multiple rapid updates could arrive out of order
   - **Impact:** Final state may not reflect intended order
   - **Risk:** LOW (server processes sequentially)
   - **Mitigation:** Test rapid update scenarios

3. **No Optimistic Locking**
   - **Issue:** Multiple users editing same node simultaneously
   - **Impact:** Last update wins (potential data loss)
   - **Risk:** LOW (rare in typical usage)
   - **Mitigation:** Document as known limitation or add version control

### 🔍 Testing Gaps

**Manual testing required for:**
- Browser UI verification (NodeDetailPanel updates)
- WebSocket message inspection (DevTools)
- Complexity badge visual rendering
- Multi-project tab switching during updates
- Performance under rapid update scenarios

**Reason:** Playwright browser automation unavailable in current environment

## Testing Instructions

### Prerequisites

1. **Start Overture Server:**
   ```bash
   cd /Users/Opeyemi/Downloads/sixth-mcp/overture
   npm run dev
   ```

2. **Verify Services Running:**
   - MCP Server: Port 3030 (WebSocket)
   - HTTP Server: Port 3031 (UI + API)
   - UI: http://localhost:3031

3. **Open Browser DevTools:**
   - Navigate to http://localhost:3031
   - Open DevTools → Network → WS tab
   - Open Console tab

### Test Execution Steps

#### Option 1: MCP Inspector (Recommended)

```bash
# Install MCP Inspector
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspector

# Connect to Overture
mcp-inspector connect stdio node dist/index.js

# Execute test calls via UI
```

#### Option 2: MCP SDK Client

See test client script in test report:
`.claude/agent-memory/principal-qa-engineer/update_node_detail_test_report.md`

#### Option 3: HTTP API (Plan Submission)

```bash
# Submit test plan
curl -X POST http://localhost:3031/api/test-plan \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d @test-plan.json

# Then use MCP tool for updates
```

### Verification Checklist
