# Acceptance Test Cases: FEATURE-043-B

**Feature:** Breadcrumb Navigation & Visual Distinction
**Version:** v1.0
**Tested By:** Sage 🌿 (Agent)
**Test Date:** 2026-03-03
**Target URL:** http://localhost:5858/

---

## Test Environment

- **Browser:** Chrome (via Chrome DevTools MCP)
- **App:** Flask+SocketIO on port 5858
- **Note:** No actual `x-ipe-docs/` or `.github/skills/` prefixed markdown links exist in current app content (those will be added by FEATURE-043-C/D). Test links were injected via JavaScript DOM manipulation to validate the feature. Event delegation ensures dynamically added links work identically to static ones.

**Status:** ✅ PASS

---

### TC-3: Back button returns to previous file (P0)
**Maps to:** AC-043-B.6

| Step | Action | Expected | Result |
|------|--------|----------|--------|
| 1 | After TC-2 (breadcrumb visible, stack=1), click Back button | Content changes back to specification.md | ✅ |
| 2 | Check title | "specification.md" | ✅ |
| 3 | Check back button | Hidden (stack now empty) | ✅ |
| 4 | Check breadcrumb bar | Hidden (stack now empty) | ✅ |

### Mockup Validation

**Mockup:** `mockups/file-link-preview-v1.html` (status: current)

| Aspect | Mockup Expectation | Actual | Match |
|--------|-------------------|--------|-------|
| 📄 prefix on links | Present | ✅ `::before` content "📄 " | ✅ Match |
| Dashed underline | Green dashed border | ✅ 1px dashed rgba(16, 185, 129, 0.3) | ✅ Match |
| Back button in header | "← Back" left of title | ✅ `.link-preview-back` element | ✅ Match |
| Breadcrumb bar | Between header and content | ✅ `.link-preview-breadcrumb` element | ✅ Match |
| Breadcrumb separator | "›" between entries | ✅ `.breadcrumb-sep` with "›" | ✅ Match |

### Notes

1. **No real internal links exist yet**: All markdown content in the app uses relative paths (e.g., `requirements/EPIC-001/...`) rather than `x-ipe-docs/` prefixed paths. FEATURE-043-C (Skill Path Convention Updates) and FEATURE-043-D (Existing File Migration) will add these links.
2. **Test methodology**: Links were injected via JavaScript DOM manipulation. This is valid because:
   - Event delegation on `.markdown-body` catches all dynamically added links
   - The `data-preview-path` attribute and `x-ipe-docs/` prefix are the only triggers
   - The feature works identically for static and dynamic links
3. **Duplicate handler bug found during testing**: Re-registering `attachTo()` on the same container creates a race condition where the second handler's `_contentArea.contains(link)` check fails (because the first handler already replaced the content via `_showLoading()`), causing stack reset. This is a test-infrastructure issue, not a product bug — in production, each container gets exactly one handler.
