Implementation Report

Feature: Blackbox and e2e test implementation Cycle: 1 Date: 2026-05-05 Status: Complete

Summary

Greenfield test implementation completed the blackbox/e2e replay harness and all test tasks for still-image replay, synchronized VIO replay, satellite-anchor/cache security, MAVLink blackout/spoofing, cold-start/restart, Jetson resource, and FDR endurance scenarios.

• Total test tasks completed: 7
• Completed batches: 3
• Blocked tasks: 0
• Code review verdicts: PASS for all batch reviews and cumulative review
• Focused verification: 25 blackbox tests passed
• Full-suite gate: handed off to Step 11 (test-run) per implement Step 16

Acceptance Coverage

All acceptance criteria documented in the test implementation task specs are covered by focused blackbox tests recorded in the batch reports:

• Replay infrastructure starts or reports blocked prerequisites, uses deterministic stubs, discovers required scenario groups, and writes CSV/Markdown evidence.
• Still-image replay validates WGS84 expected-coordinate fixtures, confidence/source-label fields, latency percentiles, and dropped-frame metrics.
• Synchronized VIO replay validates Derkachi alignment gates, public VIO replay output, and calibration/public-dataset blocked prerequisites.
• Satellite-anchor/cache tests validate retrieval evidence, geometry verification, invalid cache rejection, no in-flight external access, and storage-budget evidence.
• MAVLink blackout/spoofing tests validate dead-reckoned/no-fix transitions, safe GPS_INPUT emission behavior, unauthorized source rejection, and QGC/FDR status visibility.
• Restart/resource tests validate relocalization triggers, first-fix trial aggregation, Jetson blocked prerequisites, resource metrics, and FDR rollover evidence.

Review Summary

• Batch reviews: _docs/03_implementation/reviews/batch_11_review.md through _docs/03_implementation/reviews/batch_13_review.md
• Cumulative review: _docs/03_implementation/reviews/cumulative_review_batches_11-13_tests_report.md
• Auto-fix attempts: 0 across all test batches
• Stuck agents: none

Verification

• python3 -m pytest tests/blackbox/test_infrastructure.py: 4 passed.
• python3 -m pytest tests/blackbox: 18 passed after batch 12.
• python3 -m pytest tests/blackbox: 25 passed after batch 13.
• python3 -m e2e.replay.run_replay --output-dir /tmp/gpsd-blackbox-smoke: generated CSV and Markdown replay evidence.
• Formatter/linter CLIs declared in pyproject.toml were unavailable in this interpreter: black and ruff modules were not installed.

Next Step

Autodev may advance to Step 11, Run Tests. The full-suite gate is intentionally owned by Step 11 to avoid duplicating the test-run skill's diagnosis and reporting workflow.
