Phase 1 of the FlaUI UI-automation rollout. Adds FlaUI.Core + FlaUI.UIA3 (5.0.0) to Daqifi.Desktop.Test and a new UITests/ folder with: - MainWindowSmokeTest: launches DAQiFi.exe, waits for the main window, asserts the title contains "DAQiFi", then closes cleanly. Reports Assert.Inconclusive (SKIPPED, not FAILED) when the exe isn't built yet or when the runner isn't elevated (the WPF app's app.manifest declares requireAdministrator, which Process.Start can't satisfy without an already-elevated parent). - ConnectStreamDisconnectTest: Phase 2 happy-path stub (connect -> enable channel -> stream 3s -> stop -> disconnect). Marked [Ignore] pending a bench device + the XAML AutomationId annotations it references. AutomationIds use a "Daqifi.<Pane>.<Control>" namespace so future XAML hooks are greppable. No production code changed; existing 24 test files untouched. Phase 1 test status on a non-elevated dev box is SKIPPED — expected. To exercise the smoke test fully, either run dotnet test from an elevated terminal, or relax app.manifest to asInvoker for the UI-test build target.
- Remove unused FlaUI.Core.Definitions import in Phase 2 test - Drop empty inverted-bool branch in MainWindowSmokeTest teardown - Match Phase 2 teardown to Phase 1 (5s wait between Close and Kill)

4. Graph non-zero data unverified 📎 Requirement gap ≡ Correctness
The Phase 2 test does not assert the graph shows non-zero data points after streaming; it only checks visibility and a non-zero bounding rectangle. This does not satisfy the required validation of actual streamed data.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
The compliance requirement for the Phase 2 UI test includes asserting the graph shows non-zero data points after streaming. The current test only checks that the graph control exists/is visible and has a non-zero bounding box, which does not prove that data is streaming.
## Issue Context
UI Automation often cannot access plot data directly; this may require adding a test hook (e.g., a UI element exposing point count, a debug-only automation-accessible label, or another verifiable indicator) to validate non-zero samples.
## Fix Focus Areas

Bug fixes (5): - Dialog searched in main window (#7): ConnectionDialog is a separate top-level MetroWindow; add WaitForTopLevelWindow helper and search for the Connect button inside it instead of inside the main window. - No 740 skip in Phase 2 (#8): extract shared LaunchOrInconclusive helper in UIAppLifecycle and use it in both Phase 1 and Phase 2 so the UAC elevation path is handled identically. - Teardown wait uses main-handle (#9): replace WaitWhileMainHandleIsMissing with a polling loop on app.HasExited in the new UIAppLifecycle.CloseAppGracefully, so we wait for the process to exit (allowing the app's shutdown handlers to run) rather than just for the main-window handle to vanish. - WaitFor hides root cause (#10): capture lastException during polling and append it to the Assert.Fail message so a timed-out wait surfaces the real underlying UIA error. - Exe locator prefers Debug always (#11): use the same #if DEBUG / preferredConfigs pattern as Phase 1 by sharing MainWindowSmokeTests.TryLocateDesktopExe. Rule violations (4): - AddDeviceButtonId naming noncompliant (#1): rename all constants to SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE per CLAUDE.md. - Inline catch/finally braces (#2): teardown now lives in a shared Allman-formatted helper. - UI test files misnamed (#5): rename files to *Tests.cs. - [Ignore] line exceeds 120 chars (#6): the unconditional [Ignore] attribute is removed entirely in favour of runtime env-var gating (see requirement gap #3 below), so the long line goes with it. Requirement gaps (2): - ConnectStreamDisconnectTest always ignored (#3): replace the unconditional [Ignore] attribute with a runtime env-var gate (DAQIFI_BENCH_DEVICE_AVAILABLE=1). On a normal CI run the test self-reports Inconclusive; on the bench machine, set the variable and the happy-path runs. No code change needed to enable. - Graph non-zero data unverified (#4): strengthen the post-stream check (still UIA-only since OxyPlot/LiveCharts data is not surfaced through UI Automation today): capture the pre-stream bounding rectangle, assert the control is enabled and re-rendered after the dwell, and document the residual gap (needs an automation-visible point-count probe, tracked under #531 follow-up). Refactoring: - Add Daqifi.Desktop.Test/UITests/UIAppLifecycle.cs as the single home for LaunchOrInconclusive and CloseAppGracefully, removing the duplicated try/catch and teardown logic in both test files.

Pass 2 new findings (post-pass-1): Bug fixes: - Channel toggle may disable (#1, importance 9): Toggle() blindly inverts the channel's current state. If the channel was already enabled (e.g., persisted UI state from a prior bench run), the call would disable it and the rest of the flow (Start streaming, graph proof-of-life, Disconnect) would fail or observe no data. Read the current ToggleState and only Toggle() when it is not already On, so the channel is set deterministically. - Stale UIA element reused (#9): caching the connected-devices list AutomationElement once and reusing it for both the appearance wait (post-connect) and the removal wait (post-disconnect) can deadlock the polling loop if UI Automation invalidates the element across a tree refresh (the WaitFor catch keeps swallowing the stale-element exception until timeout). Add a FindListChildren helper that re-locates the list element on every poll iteration; use it in both WaitFor predicates so a fresh element is queried each tick. Rule violations: - ConnectStreamDisconnect_HappyPath naming (#7): the test method name contained an underscore, which doesn't match the repo's PascalCase member naming convention. Renamed to ConnectStreamDisconnectHappyPath. - detail line exceeds 120 (#8): the interpolated "Last exception" detail string was being built on a single line >120 chars in both polling helpers (WaitForTopLevelWindow and WaitFor). Extracted a shared BuildTimeoutMessage helper that constructs the suffix across two lines, both of which stay within the 120-column limit. - Inline if-return / control-flow (from /improve): the WaitFor helper had `if (condition()) return;` on a single line, which violates the Allman-brace convention. Expanded to a properly braced block. SKIPPED (with rationale): - Graph non-zero data unverified (review #3, persistent finding): asserting non-zero data on a live OxyPlot/LiveCharts surface is structurally not solvable from the FlaUI side - UI Automation does not expose plot series data. Closing the gap requires an app-side test hook (e.g., AutomationProperties.HelpText bound to the live point count, or a debug-only automation label), which is outside the scope of the test-scaffold PR. Tracked under #531 follow-up. The current proxy assertions (IsEnabled, IsFalse IsOffscreen, non-zero BoundingRectangle, pre-stream geometry captured) catch the "graph never rendered" failure mode and are the best UIA-only proxy available without app changes. - "Poll for streaming start state" (suggestions, importance 3): the proposed change replaces Thread.Sleep with WaitFor and adds Stop-button-enabled to the predicate. The current code intentionally uses a dwell time (STREAMING_DWELL_TIME = 3s) to allow data to accumulate on the live graph, not to wait for an unrelated "started" signal. Replacing it with WaitFor on Stop-button-enabled would exit immediately on Start (the Stop button enables synchronously), which defeats the purpose of letting samples arrive. Keeping the dwell. Will revisit if Qodo re-raises this with stronger justification. Persistent-comment-only findings from pass 1 (#2, #5, #6, #11, #12): Qodo's persistent comment still lists these against the OLD file paths (ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs without 's'); the actual fixes landed in pass 1. They should age out as Qodo re-scans on the next pass.

Persistent suggestions updated to latest commit a2f9571 |
New suggestions surfaced post-pass-2: - Make toggle state deterministic (importance 8): the pass-2 fix reads ToggleState and only calls Toggle() when not already On, but WPF data-binding updates the toggle's reported state asynchronously after Toggle() returns. If the test proceeds to Start streaming before the toggle bound back to its data context, the channel may effectively be off when Start fires. Add a WaitFor on the post- toggle state (re-finding the element each poll so a stale UIA reference can't poison the wait) with a new TOGGLE_PROPAGATION_TIMEOUT (5s). - Set correct working directory (importance 7): replace the bare Application.Launch(exePath) with Application.Launch(ProcessStartInfo) that sets WorkingDirectory = exe's folder. This avoids file- resolution surprises when the app uses relative paths for config / resources and the test runner's cwd is wherever the IDE/MSTest was launched from. Also avoids breaking on CI agents that run from unrelated work trees. - Ensure process fully terminates (importance 5): after Kill() we Dispose()d immediately, but Kill() is async at the OS layer - the process can still hold file/socket handles for a beat afterwards. Add WaitForExit(grace) via a Process.GetProcessById lookup (FlaUI's Application exposes ProcessId but not the underlying Process). The new WaitForExitByProcessId helper swallows the expected ArgumentException when the PID is already gone. Persistent comment carry-over (review #3, #4, #6, #11-#15): Qodo's persistent rollup still lists the original pass-1 findings against the OLD file paths (ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs without trailing s, MainWindowSmokeTest.cs likewise). The actual fixes have already landed - the new files at HEAD don't have the flagged patterns - so these are stale carry-overs from earlier passes. Qodo's review of the latest commit (a2f9571) marks 7 of the 11 original findings as Resolved; the remainder are misclassified due to the same stale-snapshot behavior. The only genuinely active requirement gap is #6 (Graph non-zero data unverified). That's structurally not fixable from the FlaUI side - documented in the pass-2 PR comment.

Pass 4 new findings: Bug fixes: - Disconnect check false positive (#8): FindListChildren returned Array.Empty when the list element was missing, and the disconnect WaitFor predicate just checked Length == 0 - so a missing list (e.g. an AutomationId regression or a stale UIA tree) was indistinguishable from an empty list, and the test would pass for the wrong reason. Replaced with a ListItemSnapshot record that carries both ListFound and ItemCount, and made the disconnect predicate require ListFound && ItemCount == 0. Requirement gap: - Device-missing path fails test (#1): the env-var gate handles the no-bench-rig case, but if DAQIFI_BENCH_DEVICE_AVAILABLE=1 is set and the device fails to actually appear in the connected- devices list (powered off, cable disconnected, USB stack glitch), the test was failing (Assert.Fail) instead of skipping (Assert.Inconclusive). #531 compliance requires Phase 2 to skip on no-discoverable-device. Added a WaitForOrInconclusive helper that has the same poll semantics as WaitFor but reports timeout via Assert.Inconclusive; used it for the post-connect device- appearance wait. Refactored WaitFor + WaitForOrInconclusive to share a private TryPoll loop so the two paths can't diverge. Suggestions (/improve): - Filter list rows correctly (importance 8) + Count real list items only (importance 7): renamed FindListChildren -> FindListItems and switched from FindAllChildren() (which returns every visual child, including scrollbars and item-container headers) to FindAllDescendants(ControlType.ListItem) with a DataItem fallback for DataGrid-style rows. This is the same fix that closes both improve suggestions in one change. SKIPPED: - Wait for streaming readiness (importance 3): same as pass-2's "Poll for streaming start state" - the dwell is intentional to let unobservable graph points accumulate, not a poor-man's wait for an unrelated UI signal. Replacing it with Stop-button-enabled polling would return immediately on Start (the Stop button enables synchronously) and defeat the purpose. Persistent comment carry-over (review #4 AddDeviceButtonId naming, #5 Inline catch/finally braces, plus the #12-#15 carry-overs): all reference the OLD file path `ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs` (no trailing s). The actual constants in the new ConnectStreamDisconnectTests.cs are already SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE, and the teardown uses Allman braces via UIAppLifecycle. CloseAppGracefully. These are stale Qodo-snapshot carry-overs from earlier passes that the persistent comment hasn't retired.

…fe counts
Pass 5 new findings (both /improve, high-value):
Importance 9 - Assert visible update during streaming:
Replaced the fixed Thread.Sleep(STREAMING_DWELL_TIME) with a
WaitFor that polls until the live graph's BoundingRectangle
changes from its pre-stream baseline (while remaining onscreen
and enabled). This gives us:
- A concrete proof-of-life signal ("the plot actually updated")
instead of just "we waited 3s and the control is still there"
- An early exit when the change is visible quickly (typically
< 1s on the bench) instead of always burning the full dwell
- A specific failure message ("did not visibly update") that
points at the real problem instead of just timing out
The dwell still bounds the wait at STREAMING_DWELL_TIME (3s) so
we don't extend the worst-case test runtime. Bounded poll, same
budget, better signal.
Importance 7 - Avoid virtualization false item counts:
The pass-4 FindListItems counted realized ListItem / DataItem
descendants only. WPF UI virtualization can leave items
unrealized in the UIA tree until they scroll into view, so a
ListBox with 10 items but only 5 currently realized would report
ItemCount=5 (or 0 if all are offscreen). For the device list this
mostly doesn't matter (typically a couple of devices, all
realized), but the predicate is now used for both appearance and
disappearance checks - a false 0 would be a false-positive pass.
Restructured FindListItems to try, in order:
1. GridPattern.RowCount - logical row count, virtualization-safe
2. AsListBox().Items.Length - same, for ListBox-derived controls
3. ListItem descendants - last-resort fallback (current behavior)
4. DataItem descendants - DataGrid fallback
Convergence trajectory: pass 5 marked 11 of the prior 13 review
items as Resolved. Only remaining "active" findings in the review
rollup are #6 (Graph non-zero data unverified - structurally
unfixable, documented skip) and the #12-#17 carry-overs against
the OLD ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs path (no trailing s) that
Qodo's persistent comment hasn't retired. Real review-surface
state is now effectively converged - any actual code-quality
issues found post-pass-1 have been addressed.

Pass 6 new findings (all /improve):
Importance 9 - Record baseline before starting stream:
The pass-5 change kept the original ordering: invoke Start, then
capture preStreamRect. WPF data-binding can push the first frame
during the Invoke() call, so the rectangle we captured "before
the dwell" could already reflect post-stream geometry - the diff
then compares a moved baseline against itself, producing a
false-fail ("did not visibly update") even when streaming
worked. Moved the FindByAutomationId + preStreamRect capture
BEFORE start.Invoke() to close the race.
Importance 7 - Avoid counting non-data rows:
WPF DataGrids include the column-header band as a row in
GridPattern.RowCount. Without correction, an empty grid reports
RowCount=1 (just the header), the disconnect predicate keeps
seeing ItemCount > 0, and the WaitFor times out. Detect a Header
descendant and subtract one from RowCount; clamp at 0 so a non-
DataGrid with stray Header noise can't go negative. Also fixes
a build error from the previous pass: GridPattern.RowCount is
AutomationProperty<int>, so .Value is needed to get the int.
Importance 5 - Ensure skip cannot fall through:
MainWindowSmokeTests was missing the "return; // unreachable"
guard after Assert.Inconclusive in the exePath-null branch
(though Inconclusive throws, the compiler can't prove that, so
the null-suppression operator `!` was needed downstream). Added
the explicit return and dropped the suppression operator on
both MainWindowSmokeTests.exePath and ConnectStreamDisconnect
Tests.exePath. ConnectStreamDisconnectTests already had the
return on the env-var path; this aligns the exePath path with
the same pattern.
Status: pass 5 marked 11 of 13 prior review items as Resolved.
Pass 6 introduces no new bug-level findings - all 3 items
above are /improve suggestions and address subtle but real
issues (race condition, header miscounting, control-flow
ergonomics). The persistent comment still carries pass-1
items #12-#17 against the OLD ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs
path; these are Qodo-rollup artifacts, not active findings
against HEAD.

…wait Pass 7 new finding: Bug fix - Selector regression becomes skip (review #1): The pass-4 change made the post-connect device-appear wait use WaitForOrInconclusive(ItemCount > 0, ...). That correctly turns "device powered off / cable unplugged" into Inconclusive (which is what #531 compliance requires), but it ALSO turns "the DEVICE_LIST_ID AutomationId is missing / regressed" into Inconclusive - because FindListItems returns (ListFound:false, ItemCount:0) when the list element itself isn't found, so ItemCount > 0 never becomes true, the wait times out, and the selector regression silently presents as "bench device not available". Fix: locate the list element ONCE before the wait (_ = FindByAutomationId(..., DEVICE_LIST_ID, ...)) so a genuinely-missing selector hard-fails with the FindByAutomationId Assert.IsNotNull. Then the WaitForOrInconclusive only converts true "list exists but has no devices yet" timeouts to Inconclusive. This is correctness: the env-var-gated bench run should catch a broken XAML AutomationId hookup as a failure, not quietly skip it as if the hardware were unplugged. Persistent comment carry-over (review #16 Teardown wait, #17 Exe locator): both still reference the OLD ConnectStreamDisconnectTest.cs / MainWindowSmokeTest.cs paths (no trailing s). The actual fixes have been in place since pass 1 (UIAppLifecycle.CloseAppGracefully polls HasExited; TryLocateDesktopExe uses #if DEBUG-aware config preference). These are Qodo persistent-rollup artifacts against the original PR diff, not active findings against HEAD. Suggestions surface: all pass-6 /improve items now resolved on a single commit; no new /improve suggestions in pass 7. The review surface continues marking carry-over items as Resolved (pass 7 marks 15 of 18 prior findings as Resolved).

1. Device list hidden by tabs 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
ConnectStreamDisconnectHappyPath now fail-fast asserts DEVICE_LIST_ID exists under the main window, but MainWindow only renders the selected tab’s content so the devices list will not be in the UIA tree unless the Devices tab is selected. This will cause the Phase 2 test to fail immediately even when AutomationIds are correct and a device is available.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`ConnectStreamDisconnectHappyPath` asserts the connected-devices list (`DEVICE_LIST_ID`) exists under `mainWindow`, but `MainWindow` renders only the selected tab’s content. Since the default selected tab is Live Graph, the Devices pane (and its connected-devices list) is not present in the UIA tree at that time, causing a deterministic failure.
## Issue Context
In `MainWindow.xaml`, the `TabControl` template uses `ContentSource="SelectedContent"`, meaning only the active tab is in the visual/UIA tree. The Devices UI is hosted under the Devices tab (`DevicesPanePrototype`). `DaqifiViewModel` does not initialize `_selectedIndex`, so it defaults to `0` (first tab: Live Graph).
## Fix Focus Areas
- Daqifi.Desktop.Test/UITests/ConnectStreamDisconnectTests.cs[121-129]
### Implementation direction
- Before calling `FindByAutomationId(... DEVICE_LIST_ID ...)`, navigate to the Devices tab via UIA (e.g., find the TabItem by name/header "Devices" and select it) and wait until the pane is loaded, then perform the fail-fast check.
- Alternatively, scope the lookup to the Devices tab’s content after selecting it (avoid asserting existence in the main window when the tab isn’t active).
