Work Packages: Fix and Test Dashboard

Inputs: Design documents from /kitty-specs/013-fix-and-test-dashboard/ Prerequisites: plan.md (required), spec.md (user stories), quickstart.md

Tests: This feature IS about adding tests - test tasks are the primary deliverable.

Organization: Fine-grained subtasks (Txxx) roll up into work packages (WPxx). Each work package must be independently deliverable and testable.

Prompt Files: Each work package references a matching prompt file in /tasks/ generated by /spec-kitty.tasks.

Subtask Format: `[Txxx] [P?] Description`

[P] indicates the subtask can proceed in parallel (different files/components).
Include precise file paths or modules.

Work Package WP01: Add Scanner Format Tests (Priority: P1) 🎯 MVP

Goal: Add test coverage for both new (frontmatter-based) and legacy (directory-based) lane formats in the dashboard scanner. Independent Test: Run pytest tests/test_dashboard/test_scanner.py -v and verify all tests pass including new format tests. Prompt: /tasks/WP01-add-scanner-format-tests.md

Included Subtasks

✅ T001 Create _create_new_format_feature() fixture helper in tests/test_dashboard/test_scanner.py
✅ T002 Add test_scan_new_format_feature_detects_lanes test
✅ T003 Add test_scan_new_format_default_lane test (missing lane defaults to "planned")
✅ T004 Add test_scan_new_format_multiple_lanes test (tasks across all 4 lanes)
✅ T005 Add test_is_legacy_format_detects_new_format test
✅ T006 Add test_is_legacy_format_detects_legacy_format test
✅ T007 Run full dashboard test suite to verify no regressions

Implementation Notes

1. Read existing _create_feature() fixture to understand the pattern 2. Create parallel _create_new_format_feature() that uses flat tasks/ directory 3. Add tests that exercise scan_feature_kanban() and is_legacy_format() 4. Ensure existing tests continue passing

Parallel Opportunities

T002-T006 can be written in parallel once T001 is complete (all use same fixture)

Dependencies

None (this is the only work package)

Risks & Mitigations

Risk: Existing tests may break if fixture pattern changes
Mitigation: Keep existing _create_feature() unchanged; add new fixture alongside it

Dependency & Execution Summary

Sequence: WP01 is the only work package (simple feature)
Parallelization: Subtasks T002-T006 can be parallelized after T001
MVP Scope: WP01 is the complete feature
