name: preview-manual-test\ndescription: >\nDiscover, wait for, sign in, create specific user data, and assert a PR\npreview deploy. Use on medium or high risk PRs, after pushing a\nready-for-review PR, or when the user asks to test the preview URL.

\n

Manual preview testing

\n

Read\ndocs/contributing/preview-manual-testing.md.\nDo not improvise gh comment scraping, local E2E against the preview URL, or\nraw D1 seeding of preview resources.

\n

Prefer control-kody when you also need doctor,\nlocal login, Feature Map lookup, or a /health SHA check:

\n
npm run control-kody -- preview -- --request 'GET /onboarding.json' --check /onboarding/step-2\n
\n

Command

\n
npm run preview:manual-test\n
\n

On medium or high risk, do not stop at the default health/login smoke. The\nseed user (me@kentcdodds.com / ilikecode, username user-me) has no\nsecrets, packages, or jobs until you create them. Script that data and the\nassertions as the same logged-in user:

\n
npm run preview:manual-test -- \\\n  --request 'POST /onboarding/checklist-dismiss.json {}' \\\n  --request 'GET /onboarding.json' \\\n  --check /onboarding/step-2\n
\n

--request spec: METHOD /path [status] [json-body] (default success: 2xx).\nUse the JSON APIs the UI uses (/account/*.json in\npackages/worker/universal/routes.ts). --json includes\nsession.cookieHeader; --cookie-file writes it for follow-up curl.

\n

--pr, --url, --no-wait, --skip-login, --help as documented.

\n

When

\n

After the PR is ready for review (drafts and forks have no preview) and you\nhave pushed the commits you want to exercise. Typical triggers: visual-recap\nrisk is medium (extends) or high (adds); auth, workers, or\ndeploy-path behavior changed; the user asked to try the preview.

\n

This does not replace npm run validate.

\n

After the scripted session

\n
    \n
  1. Open the printed URL. On Cloud Agents, use the computerUse subagent.
    2. \n
  2. Sign in at /login with the seed credentials. Button label is Sign in.
    3. \n
  3. Confirm the data you created and exercise the UI this PR changes. Stay on the\npreview origin.
    4. \n
  4. Record what you saw on the PR.
    5. \n
\n

GET /mcp is 401 without OAuth; /admin is 403 (seed account is not admin).\nNeither is a regression.
