Grouped below by how they get verified, so the interface checks can be run without an engineer. --- ## Tier 1 — testable in the interface, minutes each These are the market experience work and the blockers. Harrison or Shanelle can verify these directly. | PR | What it does | How to check | |---|---|---| | Admin #350 | "Global" retired in curator copy, now "All Markets" | Search the admin for "Global". Should appear nowhere a curator reads. | | Admin #340 | Market view indicator | Open any content surface: banner names the market, what you may change, what it serves. | | Admin #344 | Choose the market before writing, claim what you do not own | Create a post: market chosen first. Try to require a post you don't own, get offered the claim. | | Admin #356 | Market authoring visibility | Chosen market reaches the server, the view reaches the list, every row says whose it is. | | Admin #354 | Culture counts: four named numbers | Header, market view and save confirmation all quote the same numbers. This is the 10-vs-6 fix. | | Admin #352 | Market-scoped Today content saves | Enter text in Europe's Today view, save, reload. **This was Shanelle's blocker.** | | Admin #346 | Image upload 413s | Upload a 4MB image. Our own nginx was capping at 1MB, now 32MB. | | Consumer #684 | Active-tab re-tap resets the tab | Tap the already-active tab. Previously inert. | ## Tier 2 — testable with a specific setup, still no engineer | PR | What it does | How to check | |---|---|---| | Admin #334 | Analytics district level via the shared hierarchy rule | Open the district dropdown: seven groups, no country names, no "no district", matches My Team. | | Consumer #692 | Audio device released on unmount | Start a practice session, leave the screen, confirm the mic indicator goes out. | | Consumer #686 | Audio device refusal gets its own retry budget | Deny mic permission: readable error, not a dead end. | | Consumer #680 | Failed audio worklet retries, `audioEngineFailed` in 15 locales | Force a worklet failure, confirm retry and a localised message. | | Consumer #682 | Sidecar `culture_feed_sound_set` binds its identity param | Change the feed sound setting and confirm it persists for that user. | | Consumer #678 | Zero-retention transcript access | Confirm advice gets the words and transcript fetch isn't skipped on an empty buffer. | | Consumer #706 / Admin #360 | Week boundary Monday to Tuesday, cutover 2026-09-01 | Picker snapping to Tuesday is checkable now; full behaviour only across the cutover. | | Consumer #676 | Store-group hierarchy: district, then area, then country | Confirm the consumer hierarchy matches admin and analytics. | ## Tier 3 — needs logs, a database or a load condition | PR | What it does | How it's verified | |---|---|---| | Consumer #690 | Identity memo keyed on identity, not token (the 100% cache miss) | Watch cache hit rates. | | Consumer #694 | Sentry issue titles carry the failing query name | In Sentry. | | Consumer #688 | Sentry: one issue per failing named query | In Sentry. | | Consumer #700 / Admin #348 | nginx header buffers sized for the ALB cookie | Only under whatever condition produced the 400s. | | Consumer #704 / Admin #358 | Recombee dormant behind `RECOMBEE_ENABLED` | Publish an item, confirm no sync fires. Verified by absence. | | Admin #342 | Probe parses date types the way the pool does | Compare probe output against a real query. | | Admin #332 | Transcript rendered in the shape RDS stores | Compare rendered transcript against the stored record. | | Admin #328 | Analytics HQ: cancelled query no longer renders as a real zero | Cancel a query mid-flight, confirm no zero appears. | | Admin #338 | Market Experience v2 foundation | Underpins #340/#344/#350/#354/#356; verified through those. | --- ## Suggested order **The eight Tier 1 checks first.** They cover the work that was actively blocking people, need no setup, and are the ones where a problem would surface in front of Shanelle or Joon. **Worth noting:** Admin #346 confirms the image upload diagnosis exactly. Our own nginx was capping at 1MB, which is why a file well under the stated 2MB limit was rejected with a 413. At a 32MB ceiling the 5MB application limit is comfortably safe.
