Goal

Create QA test suite for the Anima Desktop: verify the Slint-based desktop application renders correctly and key screens are functional.

Background

Anima Desktop (crates/anima-desktop) is an existing Slint 1.15 application. Unlike NeoCDE and WayRay, this is an active crate with working code. It's the most immediate target for QA testing and a good validation milestone for the QA system itself.

🔗 Remote Sources (all on code.aopc.cloud)

Anima workspace:

Repo: https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima
Clone: git clone https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima.git
https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima/src/branch/main/crates/anima-desktop/Cargo.toml — Slint 1.15, uses anima-proto for gRPC to server
https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima/src/branch/main/crates/anima-desktop/src/ — UI code (login screen, main workspace)
https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima/src/branch/main/crates/anima-server/ — tonic gRPC + axum HTTP server
https://code.aopc.cloud/toasterson/Anima/src/branch/main/docker-compose.yml — postgres + anima-server + dependencies
Default credentials: user anima, password anima, admin password admin
Build: cargo build --release -p anima-server -p anima-desktop

🏗️ Implementation Guide

Create test file

Create tests/qa/anima-desktop/login-dialog.qa.yaml in Anima repo.

Setup: Clone Anima from code.aopc.cloud → build anima-server + anima-desktop → start postgres → start anima-server in background → start anima-desktop under Sway

Key considerations:

Anima Desktop needs running server + database for login to work
Postgres via Docker: docker compose up -d postgres anima-server
Desktop binary takes ~2-5s to start under llvmpipe rendering
Login coordinates are approximate — may need vision-guided click or calibration

Test steps:

Wait for server port 50051 listening
Wait for desktop window
Capture login screen → assert dark theme, username/password fields, sign-in button, violet accents
Type "admin" → Tab → type "admin" → click sign-in
Wait for login → capture main screen → assert workspace layout, navigation, no errors

Golden references: goldens/anima-desktop/login_screen.png and goldens/anima-desktop/main_screen.png

✅ Acceptance Criteria

Anima builds and runs in QA VM
Login screen renders correctly
Login flow works
Main screen appears after login
Visual regression catches rendering errors
Test passes reliably
