# End-user test guide — Investor Flow
**Status:** Ready for manual end-user testing (local)
**Product framing:** Investment management workbench (portfolio, risk, monitor, research, decision process). Adaptive workspace density. Educational publisher legal posture (no buy/sell advice).
---
## Start the stack
From repo root (or your usual scripts):
```bash
# Backend (example)
cd app/server && npm run dev # or your start command on :3001
# Frontend
cd app && npm run dev # typically :3000
```
Or use `./restart-servers.sh` if that is your operator path.
Ensure admin can approve new signups if accounts start as `pending_approval`.

## Suggested test path (new user)
1. **Sign up / sign in** → Settings
2. **Workspace interview** (if not onboarded): experience → goal → horizon → terms
- Expect: liquid starter symbols, redirect to **Portfolio**
3. **Settings → Workspace** — change density focused ↔ standard ↔ full
- Expect: nav items appear/disappear; Overview panels change
4. **Portfolio** — add a holding; confirm marks, cost, P&L on the same page (no separate Monitor)
5. **Risk** — set equity / peak, refresh posture, run sizing math
7. **Get Started** — pick a strategy template (options templates only at full density)
8. **Decision plan** (`/plan`) — save a planned/active decision + optional thesis
9. **Theses** — create/update status (intact / weakening / broken)
10. **Journal** — close a decision with P&L + reflection
11. **Research** (`/`) — management strip + symbol overview
12. **Market Outlook** — collapsible sections + tooltips
13. **Screener** (standard+) — filter watchlist `price > 50`
14. **Strategy lab** — backtest if strategy forked and candles cached
15. **Reports** — generate HTML note
15. **Mobile width** (<768px) — bottom tabs: Research · Portfolio · Risk · Alerts · More
16. **Nav** — Research section first in desktop sidebar; no Monitor entry

## Density checklist
| Density | Should see |
|---------|------------|
| focused | Portfolio (with marks), Risk, Symbol, Market, Charts, Plan, Theses, Journal, Alerts; limited Overview panels |
| standard | + Institutional, Strategies, Screener, Lab, Reports, Exits |
| full | + Filings, Options DD, Goals, advanced strategy templates |
---
## Known limits (acceptable for this test pass)
- Emotion logger UI not fully productized (reflection on journal close covers close notes)
- SSE live alert push not required (poll/list works)
- Backtest/screener quality depends on cache/watchlist data
- Some admin TypeScript noise pre-existed; does not block user flows
- Brokerage connect is out of scope (manual holdings only)
---
