# Build Testing — Requirements and Emergency Procedures
> **Agent role**: Reference this file for testing requirements and
emergency procedures when working with build architecture changes.
## Emergency Procedures
### Build System Broken
1. **Immediate**: Revert to last known working commit
2. **Investigation**: Create issue with full error details
3. **Testing**: Verify all platforms work after revert
4. **Documentation**: Update `BUILDING.md` with failure notes
### Platform-Specific Failure
1. **Isolate**: Identify which platform is affected
2. **Test Others**: Verify other platforms still work
3. **Rollback**: Revert platform-specific changes
4. **Investigation**: Debug in isolated environment
## Rollback Playbook
### Immediate Rollback
1. `git revert` or `git reset --hard <prev>`; restore prior `scripts/` or config
files
2. Rebuild affected targets; verify old behavior returns
3. Post-mortem notes → update this guard and `BUILDING.md` if gaps found
### Rollback Verification
- **Web**: `npm run build:web:dev` and `npm run build:web:prod`
- **Mobile**: `npm run build:android:test` and `npm run build:ios:test`
- **Desktop**: `npm run build:electron:dev` and packaging commands
- **Clean**: Run relevant `clean:*` scripts and verify re-build works
### Android-Specific Rollback Verification
- **Asset Generation**: `npm run build:android --assets` -
verify resources regenerate
- **API Routing**: Test both `--dev` and `--dev --api-ip <custom>` modes
- **Resource Validation**:
Check `android/app/src/main/res/` for all required assets
- **Build Modes**: Verify development, test, and production modes all work
- **Resource Fallback**:
Confirm missing resources trigger automatic regeneration
## Integration Points
### With Version Control
- **Branch Protection**: Require reviews for build script changes
- **Commit Messages**: Must reference ADR for major changes
- **Testing**: All build changes must pass CI/CD pipeline
### With Documentation
- **BUILDING.md**: Must be updated for any script changes
- **README.md**: Must reflect new build requirements
- **CHANGELOG.md**: Must document breaking build changes
### With Testing
- **Pre-commit**: Run basic build validation
- **CI/CD**: Full platform build testing
- **Manual Testing**: Human verification of critical paths
## Competence Hooks
### Why This Works
- **Prevents Build Failures**: Catches issues before they reach production
- **Maintains Consistency**: Ensures all platforms build identically
- **Reduces Debugging Time**: Prevents build system regressions
### Common Pitfalls
- **Silent Failures**: Changes that work on one platform but break others
- **Dependency Conflicts**: Updates that create version incompatibilities
- **Documentation Drift**: Build scripts that don't match documentation
### Next Skill Unlock
- Learn to test build changes across all platforms simultaneously
### Teach-back
- "What three platforms must I test before committing a build script change?"
## Collaboration Hooks
### Team Review Requirements
- **Platform Owners**: iOS, Android, Electron, Web specialists
- **DevOps**: CI/CD pipeline maintainers
- **QA**: Testing infrastructure owners
### Discussion Prompts
- "Which platforms will be affected by this build change?"
- "How can we test this change without breaking existing builds?"
- "What's our rollback plan if this change fails?"
## Self-Check (Before Allowing Changes)
- [ ] **Authorization Level**: Is this change appropriate for the level?
- [ ] **Testing Plan**: Is there a comprehensive testing strategy?
- [ ] **Documentation**: Will BUILDING.md be updated?
- [ ] **Rollback**: Is there a safe rollback mechanism?
- [ ] **Team Review**: Have appropriate stakeholders been consulted?
- [ ] **CI/CD**: Will this pass the build pipeline?
## Continuous Improvement & Feedback
### Feedback Collection
The Build Architecture Guard system includes feedback mechanisms to continuously
improve its effectiveness:
- **User Feedback**: Script includes feedback prompts for guard improvements
- **Pattern Analysis**:
Monitor which file patterns trigger false positives/negatives
- **Documentation Gaps**: Track which changes lack proper documentation
- **Testing Effectiveness**: Measure how often guard catches actual issues
### Feedback Integration Process
1. **Collect Feedback**: Monitor guard execution logs and user reports
2. **Analyze Patterns**: Identify common false positives or missed patterns
3. **Update Rules**: Modify `build_architecture_guard.mdc` based on feedback
4. **Enhance Script**: Update `build-arch-guard.sh` with new validations
5. **Test Changes**: Verify guard improvements don't introduce new issues
6. **Document Updates**: Update guard documentation with new patterns
### Feedback Categories
- **False Positives**: Files flagged as sensitive that shouldn't be
- **False Negatives**: Sensitive files that weren't caught
- **Missing Patterns**: New file types that should be protected
- **Overly Strict**: Patterns that are too restrictive
- **Documentation Gaps**: Missing guidance for specific change types
- **Testing Improvements**: Better validation procedures
### Feedback Reporting
When reporting guard issues, include:
- **File patterns** that triggered false positives/negatives
- **Build system changes** that weren't properly caught
- **Documentation gaps** in current guard rules
- **Testing procedures** that could be improved
- **User experience** issues with guard enforcement

## Model Implementation Checklist
### Before Build Testing
- [ ] **Test Planning**: Plan comprehensive testing strategy for build changes
- [ ] **Platform Coverage**: Identify all platforms that need testing
- [ ] **Risk Assessment**: Assess testing risks and mitigation strategies
- [ ] **Resource Planning**: Plan testing resources and time requirements
### During Build Testing
- [ ] **Test Execution**: Execute planned tests across all platforms
- [ ] **Issue Tracking**: Track and document any issues found
- [ ] **Feedback Collection**: Collect feedback on testing effectiveness
- [ ] **Documentation**: Document testing procedures and results
### After Build Testing
- [ ] **Result Analysis**: Analyze testing results and identify patterns
- [ ] **Feedback Integration**: Integrate feedback into testing procedures
- [ ] **Process Improvement**: Update testing procedures based on feedback
- [ ] **Team Communication**: Share testing results and improvements with team
