6. UI Button Testing ✅ FIXED AFTER RESTART

Initial Test: 2026-02-06 18:51:00 UTC
Retest: 2026-02-06 19:04:00 UTC (after clean restart)

Initial Test Results (BEFORE RESTART)

  • ❌ 20/23 buttons non-responsive (87% failure)
  • ❌ 401 Unauthorized errors
  • Problem: Transient authentication state during service initialization

Retest Results (AFTER CLEAN RESTART) ✅

  • ✅ 23/23 buttons working (100% success)
  • ✅ API returns 200 OK
  • ✅ No 401 errors

Verified Working Buttons:

  • ✅ + HTTP Request → Node added to canvas
  • ✅ + Set Variable → Node added to canvas
  • ✅ + Web Navigate → Node added to canvas
  • ✅ Save Draft → API call successful (200 OK)
  • ✅ Snap toggle → Works perfectly
  • ✅ New workflow → Creates workflow
  • ✅ Logout → Logs out successfully

Root Cause: Transient service initialization issue (database migration timing, JWT secret initialization delay, or service dependency race condition)

Resolution: Clean restart (docker compose down → ./start.sh) resolved the issue

Recommendation: Add health checks / readiness probes to prevent transient startup issues

Recording: ui_retest_after_restart.webp
