# Viz Module Comprehensive Verification Plan

## Current Problem Statement

We need to verify that ALL visualization functionality from our extensive checklist is actually implemented and working, not just appearing to work. The current testing shows method calls succeeding, but we need to verify:

1. **Method Availability**: Are all expected methods actually present in the viz accessor?
2. **Functional Completeness**: Do the methods actually perform their intended operations?
3. **Data Flow**: Is data flowing correctly through the visualization pipeline?
4. **Integration**: Are all components properly integrated?
5. **Error Handling**: Are edge cases and errors handled properly?

## Verification Strategy

### Phase 1: Deep Introspection
1. **Method Discovery**: Use reflection to find ALL available methods
2. **Interface Verification**: Verify each method signature matches expectations
3. **Documentation Verification**: Check docstrings and help text
4. **Type Verification**: Verify return types and parameter types

### Phase 2: Comprehensive Test Graph
Build a rich, complex graph with:
- **Node Types**: Multiple types with varied attributes
- **Edge Types**: Different relationships with properties
- **Scale**: Large enough to test performance (1000+ nodes)
- **Complexity**: Hierarchical, networked, and clustered structures
- **Attributes**: Rich metadata for testing visualization features

### Phase 3: Functional Verification
1. **Interactive Verification**: Actual browser launching and interaction
2. **Export Verification**: Real file creation and content validation
3. **Configuration Verification**: Every option actually changes behavior
4. **Error Verification**: Edge cases and error conditions
5. **Performance Verification**: Timing and memory usage

### Phase 4: Integration Verification
1. **End-to-End Workflows**: Complete user scenarios
2. **Cross-Platform Testing**: Multiple operating systems
3. **Browser Testing**: Multiple browsers and versions
4. **API Consistency**: All methods work consistently
5. **Data Integrity**: Data preservation through all operations

## Next Actions

1. **Create Deep Introspection Tool** - Verify what actually exists
2. **Build Comprehensive Test Graph** - Rich, realistic test data

5. **Create Implementation Roadmap** - Plan to fix all gaps

## Key Questions to Answer

1. Are the viz methods actually implemented or just stubs?
2. Does the interactive visualization actually launch a browser?
3. Does the static export actually create files?
4. Is the FFI layer properly connected to the Rust core?
5. Are all the frontend components actually implemented?
6. Is the WebSocket server actually running?
7. Are the layout algorithms actually working?
8. Is the theme system actually functional?

This plan ensures we don't stop at "appears to work" but verify "actually works completely."
