# Beta Test Issues — 2026-03-28 (ISO build 2137)

Hardware: Dell OptiPlex 3020M, i5, 8GB RAM, 465G HDD, UEFI+Legacy

## ISO / Boot (image-recipe)

### 1. UEFI autodetect broken
- **Severity**: High
- **Detail**: Only autodetects/boots in Legacy BIOS mode. UEFI boot does not autodetect the install disk.
- **Where**: `build-auto-installer-iso.sh` GRUB config, EFI boot chain
- **Status**: TODO

### 2. Installation TUI screens need redesign
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: Current installer output is plain/ugly. Needs polished design.
- **Action**: User will provide .md mockup for each screen, then we implement.
- **Where**: `build-auto-installer-iso.sh` auto-install.sh embedded script
- **Status**: AWAITING DESIGN

### 3. No TUI animations
- **Severity**: Low
- **Detail**: Would like Claude-style spinner/progress animations during install. May not be possible with bash.
- **Where**: auto-install.sh
- **Status**: TODO (investigate)

### 4. USB read errors on boot
- **Severity**: Medium (cosmetic but bad first impression)
- **Detail**: Read errors scroll on screen during USB boot before installer loads. Scares new users.
- **Where**: Kernel/initramfs boot, possibly `quiet` not suppressing early messages
- **Status**: TODO

### 5. GRUB background tiling + text cutoff
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: Boot menu background image tiles instead of scaling. Menu text ("Install Archipelago", "Failsafe mode") is cut off.
- **Where**: `branding/grub-theme/`, `boot/grub/grub.cfg`, theme.txt resolution settings
- **Status**: TODO

### 6. USB removal drops to command line
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: After install completes, removing USB drops to shell before user presses Enter to reboot. Confuses non-technical users.
- **Where**: auto-install.sh — end of install, before `read -s` / `reboot`
- **Status**: TODO

## Frontend / UI (neode-ui)

### 7. Broken splash screen flashes before onboarding
- **Severity**: High
- **Detail**: Black screen with "online/offline" top-right, broken archipelago image top-left, "use arrow keys" text. Flashes briefly before onboarding loads.
- **Where**: Likely `RootRedirect.vue` or `SplashScreen.vue` — routing/transition timing
- **Status**: TODO (reported before, persists)

### 8. Skip buttons still visible in onboarding
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: Onboarding flow still shows skip buttons. Should be removed for clean UX.
- **Where**: `src/views/onboarding/` components
- **Status**: TODO

### 9. App install UX outdated
- **Severity**: High
- **Detail**: Missing the yellow "Installing..." button that persists across navigation. Apps don't show as "installing" in My Apps view during install.
- **Where**: `src/views/marketplace/`, `src/views/myapps/`, app install store
- **Status**: TODO

### 10. Login requires double Enter
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: Password field on login page requires pressing Enter twice to submit.
- **Where**: `src/views/LoginView.vue` — form submission handler
- **Status**: TODO (reported before, persists)

### 11. No password setting UI
- **Severity**: High
- **Detail**: No way for user to set/change their password from the web UI. Currently hardcoded `password123`.
- **Where**: Settings view, backend auth API
- **Status**: TODO

### 12. Browser login loops (non-kiosk)
- **Severity**: High
- **Detail**: Logging in from a browser (not kiosk) on the same network redirects back to login in a loop. Kiosk mode works fine.
- **Where**: Auth/session handling — possibly cookie `SameSite` or redirect logic in `RootRedirect.vue`
- **Status**: TODO

### 13. Can't exit input fields with arrow keys
- **Severity**: Medium
- **Detail**: When focused on a text input, up/down arrow keys don't move focus to adjacent UI elements. Stuck in the field.
- **Where**: `useControllerNav.ts` — input field focus trap logic
- **Status**: TODO (reported before, persists)
