UI smoke (MVP)

MVP path

Current MVP path: USE_SPA_UI=false
Canonical routes: /lobby/ui/host + /lobby/ui/player
SPA shell verification is follow-up cutover work; keep it out of the primary MVP smoke.

Preconditions

Host can log in through Django.
At least one active category with questions exists.
Recommended local bootstrap: python manage.py bootstrap_mvp
Fastest local setup: ./scripts/run_local_mvp_smoke.sh and then keep the stack running for browser follow-up.

Flow

Confirm USE_SPA_UI=false.
Open /lobby/ui/host and create a session.
Open /lobby/ui/player in 3 tabs or devices.
Join all players with the session code and nicknames.
Host selects a category, starts the round, and shows the question.
Players submit lies.
Host mixes answers.
Players submit guesses.
Host calculates scores and opens the scoreboard.
Host starts the next round or finishes the game.

Pass criteria

One full round reaches scoreboard without raw API calls.
Error banners are absent in the host/player core flow.
Session detail reflects the same phase on both screens.
Finish-game path shows the final leaderboard.

Cutover note

If SPA shell validation is needed, use docs/spa-cutover-flag.md and docs/STAGING_GAMEPLAY_SMOKE_ARTIFACT.md. Those checks are not the primary MVP smoke gate. For the presenter/player visual lane specifically, capture the manual evidence in docs/SPA_VISUAL_REALTIME_SMOKE_ARTIFACT.md. For local SPA-only checks with the compose spa profile, start at http://localhost:4200/.
