# Inbox Test Documentation Roadmap
## Purpose
This roadmap tracks the human-readable Markdown test plan for `inbox`.
It exists so a new agent can immediately answer four questions without re-reading the whole codebase:
- which test-plan documents already exist
- which cases have already been written down
- which cases are still missing
- what file should be updated next
This roadmap is for the Markdown test-plan set under `docs/tests/inbox/`.
It is not a replacement for automated Go tests.
## Current Snapshot
Snapshot date:
- `2026-03-19`
Current state:
- `inbox` CLI is implemented end-to-end
- automated Go integration tests already exist for the main lifecycle, wait flows, unread behavior, artifacts, and JSON error contracts
- this roadmap now exists under `docs/tests/inbox/ROADMAP.md`
- all planned global, shared, workflow, command-index, and command-case Markdown documents have been authored
- command-level documents have been audited once per command against current CLI and store behavior, with edge-contract notes added for defaults, fallbacks, and error boundaries where needed
- every inbox command folder now uses `README.md` as an index plus one Markdown file per case
Progress summary for planned test-plan documents, excluding `ROADMAP.md`:
- planned document files: `70`
- authored document files: `70`
- planned case slugs in this roadmap: `61`
- authored case slugs in this roadmap: `61`
## Scope
In scope:
- `inbox init`
- `inbox send`
- `inbox fetch`
- `inbox claim`
- `inbox renew`
- `inbox update`
- `inbox reply`
- `inbox done`
- `inbox fail`
- `inbox cancel`
- `inbox list`
- `inbox show`
- `inbox watch`
- `inbox wait-reply`
- cross-command workflows
- shared test conventions for JSON output, exit codes, fixtures, and assertions
Out of scope:
- `orch`
- `council-review`
- implementation details that are not visible through the CLI contract
## Tracking Rules
Directory model:
- one folder per command or shared area
- each folder keeps a `README.md` entrypoint
- command folders use `README.md` as an index only
- each command case lives in its own Markdown file named after the case slug
- cross-command workflow cases remain grouped in `docs/tests/inbox/workflows/README.md`
Case identity:
- do not use numeric IDs
- identify each command case by its concrete file path
- identify each workflow case by `path + case slug`
- command case file naming pattern:
```text
<case-slug>.md
```
- workflow case heading pattern:
```md
## case: send-rejects-invalid-payload-json
```
Per-case structure inside the case document:
- `用例意义`
- `前置条件`
- `输入`
- `预期输出`
- `断言结论`
How to update this roadmap when a new case is written:
1. if it is a command case, create or update the target `<case-slug>.md` file under the relevant command folder
2. if it is a command case, add or update the entry in that folder `README.md` index
3. if it is a workflow case, add or update the case inside `docs/tests/inbox/workflows/README.md`
4. move the case slug from `Pending Case Backlog` to `Authored Case Register`
5. update the authored counts in `Current Snapshot`
6. if a new Markdown file is created, update `Document Progress`
Allowed status values in this roadmap:
- `pending`
- `in_progress`
- `done`
- `deferred`
## Existing Automated Coverage Reference
The Markdown test-plan set starts at zero, but these automated tests already exist and should be used as source material when writing the docs:
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L12) `TestInboxLifecycle`
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L176) `TestInboxFailLifecycle`
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L243) `TestInboxRenewWaitReplyAndCancel`
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L392) `TestInboxWatchListUnreadAndAppend`
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L549) `TestInboxUnreadReadCursor`
- [integration_test.go](../../../internal/cli/inbox/integration_test.go#L639) `TestInboxJSONErrorsAndExitCodes`
These tests do not remove the need for the Markdown plan. They only reduce discovery work.

## Authoring Order
Recommended order:
1. `docs/tests/inbox/README.md`
2. `docs/tests/inbox/_shared/README.md`
3. `docs/tests/inbox/workflows/README.md`
4. `docs/tests/inbox/send/README.md` plus its linked case files
5. `docs/tests/inbox/fetch/README.md` plus its linked case files
6. `docs/tests/inbox/claim/README.md` plus its linked case files
7. `docs/tests/inbox/reply/README.md` plus its linked case files
8. `docs/tests/inbox/done/README.md` plus its linked case files
9. `docs/tests/inbox/show/README.md` plus its linked case files
10. the remaining command indexes and case files
Reason:
- the workflow file captures the highest-value end-to-end behavior first
- the command documents can then reuse shared conventions and already-fixed terminology

## Pending Case Backlog
No pending case slugs remain in the current plan.
When a new CLI contract or workflow needs coverage:
1. if it is a command case, create a new `<case-slug>.md` file under the relevant command folder and add it to that folder `README.md` index
2. if it is a workflow case, add it to `docs/tests/inbox/workflows/README.md`
3. add the new slug to `Authored Case Register`
4. update `Current Snapshot` and `Document Progress`
## Definition Of Done
This roadmap is complete only when all of the following are true:
- every implemented inbox command has a corresponding document folder
- each planned command index and case document exists
- each pending case slug has been either authored or explicitly deferred
- the authored-case register matches the actual Markdown files on disk
- a new agent can pick any pending case and know exactly where it should be written
