Live smoke test — 2026-04-08

Summary

A live smoke-test pass was run against https://kb.icvida.com after the simplification wave landed. The goal was to test the simplified core workflow rather than every advanced helper.

Core workflow tested

  • health
  • vault listing
  • home UI load
  • search on recently stored knowledge
  • create raw capture
  • read capture
  • append to capture
  • capture history
  • create durable project doc
  • read durable doc
  • search durable doc
  • recent activity
  • tags listing
  • delete durable doc
  • verify delete behavior

Result

Overall result: PASS

Functional summary: - 17 successful core checks - 1 expected 404 after deleting the temporary durable test doc

The 404 was the correct post-delete behavior, not a product failure.

Timing observations

Live end-to-end request times were roughly: - reads/searches: ~316–420 ms - writes: ~379–418 ms - delete: ~383 ms

Interpretation: - not instant - but clearly usable for a remote HTTPS wiki shared between humans and agents

Search observations

Worked well

  • exact and near-exact knowledge retrieval worked well for recent stored docs
  • examples: pi teams, cheap executor, quick switcher
  • exact run-id search found the newly created live smoke capture immediately

Current limitation

Search still behaves like an exact-term system more than a fuzzy one.

That means it is best used with: - precise terms - vault filters - type filters - tag filters when relevant

UI observation

The home page now reflects the simplified framing: - Shared markdown wiki - Default workflow

This confirms that the simplification wave is visible in the live app, not only in the repo.

Activity and history observation

Recent activity correctly showed: - capture create - capture update - durable doc create - durable doc delete

History on the smoke capture correctly showed: - initial capture commit - append/update commit

Temporary artifacts created during test

Kept for evidence: - inbox/2026/04/08/knowledge-hub-smoke-test-20260408-031805-eaadb0.md

Created then cleaned up: - projects/smoke-tests/smoke-20260408-031805-eaadb0.md

Conclusion

The simplified default workflow is viable right now: 1. search 2. capture 3. read 4. append/update 5. history 6. optional durable docs

This supports the earlier conclusion that Knowledge Hub does not need a rewrite. It is ready to be used for real work while future improvements remain incremental.
