Night Watch QA Journal

Night Watch QA — Journal

Operational log for the QA role. Each entry is a timestamped record of what was checked, what was found, and what was done.

This journal is append-only during a shift. At the start of each new calendar day (PST), a new day header is created.

• Current repo state at handoff:
  • 13+ open PRs
  • 5 open dependabot alerts (2 high minimatch, 1 medium ajv, 1 medium lodash, 1 medium esbuild)
  • PRs #299 and #205 (cixzhang) have known CI failures — previously diagnosed, awaiting author action
  • 5 Navi-authored PRs (#355, #358, #359, #360, #361) — all pass build/test/lint, some have visual-regression only failures

2026-02-27 (Thu evening → Fri) — Shift 2

01:03 UTC (Thu 5:03 PM PST) — Hourly Check

CI Scan (14 open PRs):

• 0 actual code failures (build/test/lint all green across all PRs)
• 6 PRs have visual-regression failures — root cause: VRT grep pattern bug (uses directory name, not component name)
  • PR #369 (cixzhang) fixes this in analyze-pr.js; ci.yml change needs manual apply (no workflow token scope)
• 2 PRs (#360, #359) show build failure — actually "Deploy Storybook preview to GitHub Pages" step, not TypeScript build

Dependabot (6 open alerts — 1 new):

• NEW: #9 — Storybook WebSocket Hijacking (HIGH, no patch available, dev-only)
• Existing: #8/#7 minimatch (HIGH), #6 ajv (MEDIUM), #3 lodash (MEDIUM), #2 esbuild (MEDIUM)

Stale PRs: None at threshold (oldest non-draft without activity: #293 at 2 days)

Merged Branches: 15 branches can be cleaned up (all have merged PRs, none deleted)

Actions: None required. VRT failures have upstream fix in-flight. No stale PRs to flag.
