| 1 | # UX sweep |
| 2 | |
| 3 | Run a sweep when nits keep arriving one at a time. One agent sweeps the whole |
| 4 | app and fixes what it can. It leaves a document the owner can answer by number. |
| 5 | Snowbound's sweep shipped 14 small fixes, each with a commit, and left four |
| 6 | questions that Clover answered in one message. |
| 7 | |
| 8 | ## Setup |
| 9 | |
| 10 | - Build from a named commit. Run on disposable copies of real data, never on |
| 11 | originals. |
| 12 | - Cover light and dark, at the default window size and a narrow one (Snowbound |
| 13 | used 1180×760 and 640–760 wide). |
| 14 | - Capture the reference app beside yours for every behaviour in question (a |
| 15 | fresh VM clone, deleted afterwards). |
| 16 | - Screenshot folders: |
| 17 | - `before/` (main) |
| 18 | - `after/` (the fixes) |
| 19 | - `compare/` (before beside after; for icons, add light-highlight and |
| 20 | dark-highlight columns) |
| 21 | - `reference/` (the reference app) |
| 22 | - `narrow/` |
| 23 | - `keys/` (keyboard and focus traces) |
| 24 | - `a11y/` (accessibility tree dumps) |
| 25 | |
| 26 | ## Document |
| 27 | |
| 28 | ``` |
| 29 | # UX review (<date>) |
| 30 | |
| 31 | <One paragraph: build and commit, appearances, window sizes, data used, |
| 32 | reference lab, screenshot folders.> |
| 33 | |
| 34 | ## Changes |
| 35 | | Change | Commit | |
| 36 | | <id> | fix: <what now behaves how, as one sentence> | |
| 37 | |
| 38 | ## <Owner>'s batch |
| 39 | | # | Finding | Screenshot | Outcome | |
| 40 | | 1 | <their words, short> | compare/<file>.png | <fixed in <id> / already right on main because … / left: <why>> | |
| 41 | |
| 42 | ## Sweep findings |
| 43 | | Finding | Screenshot | Outcome | |
| 44 | | <what you found> | <file> | <fixed (<id>) / No change needed / Left: <a feature, not a fix> / Left for <owner>> | |
| 45 | |
| 46 | ## <Owner>'s answers (<date>) |
| 47 | 1. <their decision, recorded as they said it> |
| 48 | |
| 49 | ## Overlaps with other batches |
| 50 | - <batch>: <shared hunks or files, and who owns them> |
| 51 | ``` |
| 52 | |
| 53 | ## Rules |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - The owner's items come first, numbered, and each gets an outcome, even |
| 56 | "already right on main; the real cause is X, owned by Y". |
| 57 | - Record "No change needed" rows. They prove a check happened (keyboard order, |
| 58 | narrow widths). |
| 59 | - Every "Left" says why. Taste calls say "Left for <owner>" with the options. |
| 60 | - When you follow the owner's word over the reference app, say so: "OneNote |
| 61 | 2010 does list New Notebook there; removed on Clover's word." |
| 62 | - Each fix is its own small commit, titled as a sentence about the new |
| 63 | behaviour. |
