What is test-palot-desktop?

A testing skill for Palot's native Electron desktop interface, including its page renderer, preload layer, inter-process communication, and OpenCode connection. Electron is a framework for desktop apps built with web technologies.

Use it to create or run desktop end-to-end tests, inspect the native interface, verify preload and IPC behavior, capture screenshots or video, and smoke-test the OpenCode connection.

It checks the real desktop application rather than only a browser-rendered page, so integration problems can be found. It also supports accessibility, focus, resizing, screenshots, live data loading, and recorded scenarios.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00084	$0.01468
Opus 5.5	$0.00034	$0.00587
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00294

Security

Grade A, and why

test-palot-desktop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 90 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Test Palot Desktop

Use this skill for the native Electron client. A renderer-only Vite page does not prove the preload, IPC, or OpenCode connection.

Use repository-root ../../../docs/agent-development.md for verification selection, launch, renderer attachment, artifact paths, and cleanup. Read ../../../docs/desktop-testing.md when authoring scenarios or resolving test-architecture questions.

Choose The Path

Agent worktree: run the smallest matching bun run test:e2e -- <scenario>. The harness is hidden, credential-free, isolated, and self-cleaning.
Deterministic visual review: add --visible.
Renderer recording: add --video (requires ffmpeg, implies --visible --keep). Captures the explicit Electron renderer, not desktop chrome/audio. Retains video.mp4 and video.json; recording adds overhead and is not compositor/FPS evidence. Inspect representative frames before presenting the private recording.
Agent inspection: add --inspect, then run the exact agent-browser connect '<renderer-websocket>' command printed by the harness. Use the renderer target rather than browser-level CDP because Electron cannot create a new target. Stop the retained command with Ctrl-C.
Real-provider behavior or requested live inspection: use the live workflow below. It connects to real user data.

List deterministic scenarios with bun run test:e2e:list. Failures retain available evidence under the primary checkout's .local/desktop-e2e/; report the absolute run path and which artifacts exist. Early setup failures may have no screenshot.

Complete only the selected path below. Running an isolated scenario does not require live inspection or a full shell smoke pass.

Deterministic E2E

Use the scenario result as evidence for the behavior it asserts. Scripted data in an isolated OpenCode service is valid integration evidence; it does not prove live provider behavior. Inspect failures before widening the test scope.

Report the scenario command, result, unresolved failures, and retained artifact path when present. A passing nonvisual scenario needs neither real user data nor screenshots. For visual QA, also inspect the affected state and save a screenshot; use before/after images when both states are available.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
