QA report — v1.1.0
Re-run for v1.2.0, 2026-10-05 (Node v24.19.0, win32 x64): 237 passing, 1 skipped (the benchmark), 0 failing across 20 test files, including the new
authsuite (token forgery, tampering, expiry, credentials, permission matrix). TypeScript strict clean. ESLint 0 errors, 2 informational warnings. Production build succeeds. The detailed results below are from v1.1.0.
Verification performed for the performance and intelligence upgrade.
Environment. Node v24.16.0, win32 x64, Next.js 16.3.4, React 19.2.8.
Browser checks on Chromium against a production build (npm run build && npm run start); development-build figures are recorded separately where they differ,
because development React is several times slower and quoting it as a product
number would be misleading.
Automated result: 211 passing, 1 skipped (the benchmark, which is a measurement rather than a test), 0 failing. TypeScript strict clean. ESLint clean — 0 errors, 2 informational warnings. Production build succeeds, 62 routes.

Copilot responses — the prompt's own sample questions
Run against POST /api/ai/query, production build, deterministic adapter.
| Question | Result |
|---|---|
| "Show me the top 5 vendors driving expense growth this quarter" | 5 vendors ranked; bar chart; note that ranking is by period total, not growth |
| "Why did operating profit decline?" | Broken down by department (6 rows), not a single circular total |
| "Which customers are overdue by more than 60 days?" | Receivables by customer; note that the 60-day cut-off could not be applied, pointing at the ageing report |
| "Show cash flow for the last 12 months" | 12-point line; movement quantified; note that the metric is a closing balance |
| "Which expense category has the highest budget variance?" | Variance lines ranked; note explaining the sign convention |
| "What is the weather in Amsterdam?" | Refused with a usable explanation of what it can answer |

Not audited: full WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, contrast measurement of every state, and screen-reader testing on real assistive technology. Those need a manual pass with the actual tools and are not claimed here.
7. Defects found and fixed during this work
All were pre-existing or introduced-and-caught in this cycle. Each has a regression test.
| # | Defect | Impact | Fix | Test |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Inventory drove to −$7.2M. Every cost of sale relieved stock; nothing replenished it. Books balanced, so it was invisible to the trial balance. | Balance sheet showed negative stock; quick ratio exceeded current ratio; DIO −370 days; cash conversion cycle −319 days | Only physical goods relieve stock; other cost of sales is settled as incurred; monthly stock replenishment from a dedicated supplier | balance-integrity |
| D2 | Stack overflow at 250K. push(...array) spreads into arguments and overflows past ~120K elements. |
The 250K dataset — the feature's whole point — crashed | Loop instead of spread | scale |
| D3 | Invalid date in the forecast. Bucket keys are full ISO dates; the code appended -01 to them. |
/intelligence/forecast threw RangeError: Invalid time value |
Parse the key directly | Exercised by engine-benchmark and the forecast page |
| D4 | Seasonality never engaged. 24 months of history minus the partial current month left 23 — one short of the two cycles required. | Forecast silently ignored seasonality | Request 25 months | Verified in forecast and on the page |
| D5 | Expense anomaly N+1. Scanned the whole ledger once per bill. | getExpenses took 1,352 ms at 100K — the Expenses page was unusable |
Index bills by vendor once per dataset | engine-benchmark |
| D6 | Dashboard rescanned cash accounts per chart bucket. | 481 ms dashboard at 100K | Single-pass balanceSeries |
engine-benchmark |
| D7 | Notes rendered as refusals. An informational caveat was returned in unsupportedReason. |
"Show cash flow for the last 12 months" answered correctly but reported "can't be answered" | Separate note from unsupportedReason |
ai-guardrails |
| D8 | "Why" questions returned a circular KPI. | "Why did operating profit decline?" → "Net profit leads on net profit" | Infer a contributor dimension; single-value answers read as statements | ai-guardrails |
| D9 | Ageing constraints silently dropped. | "Overdue by more than 60 days" answered as if no threshold was asked for | Constraint reported as a note | ai-guardrails |
| D10 | Share percentages above 100%. Summed a mix of positive and negative values. | "Sales is 320% of the total" | Share shown only for non-negative parts of a positive whole | — |
| D11 | One rule crowded out the rest. Near-duplicates filled the finding list. | A planted weekend posting was never visible | Per-rule budget before the overall cap | anomalies |
| D12 | Every customer showed "120+ days". Ancient partial payments never settled. | The ageing column carried no information | Partials only stay open on recent invoices, with a deliberate stale tail | Verified against the ageing spread |
| D13 | Live emission blocked by React. | ~⅔ of events undelivered at 1,000/min; 273 ms batches | Emit loop writes refs only; publish on a separate 1 Hz timer | PERFORMANCE.md |
| D14 | Background throttling reported as an app limit. | The stress test looked like a failure in a hidden tab | Detect and label it | — |
| D15 | Literal control characters in source. Escape sequences were written as raw bytes. | Files were binary to grep and diff | Escaped constant | — |
| D16 | server-only was not installed, so the production AI adapter failed to load and the resolver silently fell back to the deterministic engine. |
A deployment that configured a real API key would have received templated prose with no indication why | Added the dependency; the fallback now logs ai_provider_unavailable with the cause and the fix |
Verified with a bogus key end to end |
8. Not verified
Stated so nobody assumes otherwise:
- Physical mobile devices. The card layout is covered by tests against a mocked breakpoint. Attempts to resize the automated browser did not change the viewport, so no device screenshot was taken. Worth a manual pass at 320/375/390/414 px.
- A successful call to the live provider. No valid API key was available in this environment. What was verified: the adapter loads, constructs a real client, issues a real request, and — with an invalid key — fails into the documented degraded path with the correct status, metadata and server log (A18). What was not verified is a 200 from the provider and the shape of its structured output in practice. The response passes through the same Zod schema the deterministic adapter satisfies, so a malformed one would degrade rather than render. Still: run it once with a real key before relying on it.
- WCAG 2.2 AA conformance. Specific improvements are listed in §6; a full audit was not performed.
- Load beyond 250K rows, concurrent multi-user load, and any deployment target other than local Node.
- Vercel deployment of this branch. The production build succeeds locally and the output is Vercel-compatible, but the deploy itself was not run.
