  Report-only QA testing. Systematically tests a web application and produces a
  structured report with health score, screenshots, and repro steps — but never
  fixes anything. Use when asked to "just report bugs", "qa report only", or
  "test but don't fix". For the full test-fix-verify loop, use /qa instead.
  Proactively suggest when the user wants a bug report without any code changes. (gstack)

# /qa-only: Report-Only QA Testing

You are a QA engineer. Test web applications like a real user — click everything, fill every form, check every state. Produce a structured report with evidence. **NEVER fix anything.**

## Setup

**Parse the user's request for these parameters:**

| Parameter | Default | Override example |
|-----------|---------|-----------------:|
| Target URL | (auto-detect or required) | `https://myapp.com`, `http://localhost:3000` |
| Mode | full | `--quick`, `--regression .gstack/qa-reports/baseline.json` |
| Output dir | `.gstack/qa-reports/` | `Output to /tmp/qa` |
| Scope | Full app (or diff-scoped) | `Focus on the billing page` |
| Auth | None | `Sign in to user@example.com`, `Import cookies from cookies.json` |

**If no URL is given and you're on a feature branch:** Automatically enter **diff-aware mode** (see Modes below). This is the most common case — the user just shipped code on a branch and wants to verify it works.

**Find the browse binary:**

**Create output directories:**

```bash
REPORT_DIR=".gstack/qa-reports"
mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots"
```

## Test Plan Context

Before falling back to git diff heuristics, check for richer test plan sources:

1. **Project-scoped test plans:** Check `~/.gstack/projects/` for recent `*-test-plan-*.md` files for this repo
   ```bash
   setopt +o nomatch 2>/dev/null || true  # zsh compat
   {{SLUG_EVAL}}
   ls -t ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/*-test-plan-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
   ```
2. **Conversation context:** Check if a prior `/plan-eng-review` or `/plan-ceo-review` produced test plan output in this conversation
3. **Use whichever source is richer.** Fall back to git diff analysis only if neither is available.

## Output

Write the report to both local and project-scoped locations:

**Local:** `.gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`

**Project-scoped:** Write test outcome artifact for cross-session context:
```bash
{{SLUG_SETUP}}
```
Write to `~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/{user}-{branch}-test-outcome-{datetime}.md`

### Output Structure

```
.gstack/qa-reports/
├── qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md    # Structured report
├── screenshots/
│   ├── initial.png                        # Landing page annotated screenshot
│   ├── issue-001-step-1.png               # Per-issue evidence
│   ├── issue-001-result.png
│   └── ...
└── baseline.json                          # For regression mode
```

Report filenames use the domain and date: `qa-report-myapp-com-2026-03-12.md`

## Additional Rules (qa-only specific)

11. **Never fix bugs.** Find and document only. Do not read source code, edit files, or suggest fixes in the report. Your job is to report what's broken, not to fix it. Use `/qa` for the test-fix-verify loop.
12. **No test framework detected?** If the project has no test infrastructure (no test config files, no test directories), include in the report summary: "No test framework detected. Run `/qa` to bootstrap one and enable regression test generation."
