Local smoke checklist

Run through this before releases, before merging BOINC-facing changes, and any time you want to confirm that a local BOINC daemon is driving boincrs correctly.

  1. Start the BOINC client locally and ensure GUI RPC is enabled.
  2. Run: 
    BOINCRS_ENDPOINT=127.0.0.1:31416 \
    BOINCRS_PASSWORD_FILE=/etc/boinc-client/gui_rpc_auth.cfg \
      cargo run
  3. Verify the TUI renders three panes: Projects, Tasks, Transfers.
  4. Verify the top Selected Task panel is visible and updates when task selection changes.
  5. Press r and confirm the status line reports refresh completion.
  6. In the Tasks pane, use j / k (or arrows) to move selection; confirm the selected row marker changes.
  7. Verify task grouping headings appear: READY TO REPORT, RUNNING, WAITING / READY.
  8. Verify running tasks are ordered by completion percentage.
  9. Trigger a safe project action (u, s, or c) and verify status updates.
  10. Trigger a destructive action (x, d, or b) and verify the confirmation prompt appears.
  11. Press n to cancel and verify no action is sent.
  12. Trigger again, press y, and verify the action executes.
  13. Press q to exit cleanly and restore terminal state.
