flutter run -d macos  # or chrome, ios, etc.
  1. Navigate to Agents:
  • Click "Agents" in sidebar
  • Should see empty state with "No Agents Yet"
  1. Test Empty State:

  • Click button should show "coming soon" snackbar
  1. Test Navigation:
  • Click other sidebar items
  • Come back to Agents
  • Verify page state persists

Integration Testing (Once Backend Has List Endpoint)

// Future test scenarios
- Load agents list
- Display agent cards
- Click agent card  show details
- Click menu  show options
- Create agent  refresh list
- Delete agent  remove from list

API Integration Status

Operation Backend Ready Frontend Ready Status

Dependencies

Required Packages (Already Installed)

flutter - Framework animate_do - Animations iconsax - Icons getwidget - UI components http - API client (via our CQRS client)

API Dependencies

lib/api/api.dart - All endpoint integrations lib/api/client.dart - CQRS client lib/api/types.dart - Result and errors


Known Issues

1. List Agents Not Available

Issue: Backend doesn't have list agents endpoint yet (Phase 3) Workaround: Showing empty state, ready for integration ETA: Awaiting backend Phase 3

2. Minor RenderFlex Overflow

Issue: Sidebar has 15px overflow when collapsed Location: lib/components/navigation_sidebar.dart:217 Impact: Cosmetic only, no functional issues Resolution: Low priority, consider fixing in UI polish phase
