3 of 9 scanners reported clean
Some scanners were skipped, did not run, or reported a non-clean status. Review each row below.
Plugin check: Run
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-version.js"— if it outputs a message, show it to the user before proceeding.
Test a deployed, activated Power Pages site at runtime. Navigate the site in a browser, crawl all discoverable links, verify pages load correctly, capture network traffic to test API requests, and generate a comprehensive test report.
Prerequisite: This skill expects a deployed and activated Power Pages site. Run
/deploy-siteand/activate-sitefirst if the site is not yet live.
/_api/ (Web API / OData) requests return successful responses./_api/serverlogics/ endpoints the test run must also capture and report the actual response body shape so frontend integrations can be written against the real response, not a guessed one. If frontend parsing or field access does not match the observed shape, report the mismatch and describe the parsing or field-access changes needed — this skill does not modify any code.Every run produces a categorized test report (docs/alm/last-test-site.json — see Phase 6.7a). Stable category IDs and the source phase that produces each:
| Category id | Display Name | Source phase | What it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| site-load | Site Load | Phase 2 | Homepage HTTP status, redirect handling, initial render. One card for the homepage; failures are critical. |
| authentication | Authentication | Phase 3 | Anonymous-to-Entra redirect, private-site gate detection, login flow integrity. Critical for private sites. |
| page-crawl | Page Crawl | Phase 4 | One card per page tested (up to 25). Each card carries the page URL, HTTP status, and any console errors. Severity scales with HTTP class (5xx → critical, 4xx on public → high). |
| web-api | Web API | Phase 5 | One card per /_api/ endpoint observed during the run. Captures status code, response shape, and remediation hints (table-permissions / site-settings / inner-error settings). |
| auth-pages | Authenticated Pages | Phase 5.6 | Pages that only became reachable after login. Skipped when the user opts out of authenticated testing. |
| auth-api | Authenticated API | Phase 5.6 | API endpoints that only became callable after login. Skipped when authenticated testing is skipped. |
| console | Console Health | Aggregated | Rolled-up count of console errors observed across all phases. Severity is medium by default. |
plan-alm's Validation tab consumes this shape directly — each category becomes a collapsible group in the per-stage sub-tab, and the rolled-up runOutcome (passed / passed-with-warnings / failed) drives the green / yellow / red Outcome badge in both the Validation tab and the Execution checklist substep.
Initial request: $ARGUMENTS
Goal: Determine the live URL of the Power Pages site to test.
Create the full task list with all 6 phases before starting any work (see Progress Tracking table).
If the user provided a URL in $ARGUMENTS:
https://.SITE_URL and skip to Phase 2.If no URL was provided, attempt auto-detection:
Locate the project root by searching for powerpages.config.json:
**/powerpages.config.json
Run the activation status check script:
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/check-activation-status.js" --projectRoot "<PROJECT_ROOT>"
Evaluate the JSON result:
activated is true and websiteUrl is present: Use websiteUrl as SITE_URL. Inform the user: "Detected your site URL: <websiteUrl>"activated is false: Inform the user: "Your site is not yet activated. Please run /activate-site first, then re-run this skill." Stop the skill.error is present: Fall through to step 1.4.If auto-detection failed or was inconclusive, use AskUserQuestion:
| Question | Header | Options |
|----------|--------|---------|
| What is the URL of the deployed Power Pages site you want to test? (e.g., https://contoso.powerappsportals.com) | Site URL | I'll paste the URL (description: Select "Other" below and paste your site URL), I don't know my URL (description: Run /activate-site to get your site URL, or check the Power Platform admin center) |
Store the user-provided URL as SITE_URL.
SITE_URL resolved and ready for testingGoal: Open the site in a browser, verify the homepage loads, and capture baseline errors.
Set the browser to a standard desktop viewport:
browser_resize with width: 1280, height: 720.browser_navigate to open SITE_URL.browser_wait_for with time: 5 seconds to allow the page to fully render (SPAs may need time for client-side routing and API calls).browser_snapshot to take an accessibility snapshot.browser_console_messages with level: "error" to check for JavaScript errors on initial load.browser_network_requests with includeStatic: false to capture the initial page load API calls./_api/ or OData requests and their status codes for Phase 5 analysis.Goal: Detect if the site requires authentication and handle login if needed. Power Pages sites can have two layers of authentication:
login.microsoftonline.com, *.b2clogin.com).Review the browser snapshot from Phase 2.4 and the current browser URL for signs of a private site redirect:
SITE_URL (e.g., login.microsoftonline.com, *.b2clogin.com, or a custom identity provider domain)🚦 Gate (pause · test-site:3.2.private-gate-login): External wait — site redirected to identity provider; skill pauses until user completes login or cancels.
If a private site gate is detected, use AskUserQuestion:
| Question | Header | Options | |----------|--------|---------| | This site is private — it redirected to an identity provider login page before any content could load. A browser window should be open showing the login page. Please log in there using credentials that have access to this site. Once you have successfully logged in and can see the site homepage, select "I have logged in" below. | Private Site Login | I have logged in (Recommended) — I've completed the login and can see the site, Cancel testing — Stop the test |
If "I have logged in":
Use browser_snapshot to verify the user is now on the actual site (site content visible, navigation present, URL is back on the SITE_URL domain).
If still on the identity provider login page:
<!-- gate: test-site:3.2.login-retry | category=pause | cancel-leaves=nothing -->🚦 Gate (pause · test-site:3.2.login-retry): Login not yet complete — re-prompt or cancel.
AskUserQuestion again: "It looks like the login hasn't completed yet. The browser should still be open — please complete the login and try again."Once confirmed, re-run Phase 2.5 and 2.6 (capture console errors and network requests on the now-loaded homepage).
Continue to step 3.3 to check for site-level authentication.
If "Cancel testing":
After the homepage is loaded (either directly for public sites, or after passing the private site gate), review the snapshot for signs of site-level authentication:
If neither a private site gate nor site-level authentication indicators are found:
🚦 Gate (plan · test-site:3.5.public-vs-auth): Site has Sign-in UI — test as authenticated user, skip auth-gated pages, or cancel.
If site-level authentication indicators are detected (login links in navigation, etc.), use AskUserQuestion:
| Question | Header | Options | |----------|--------|---------| | The site has a Sign in option, which means some pages or API calls may require authentication. A browser window should be open — you can click "Sign in" and log in with a user account that has the appropriate web role. Once you have successfully logged in, select "I have logged in" below. | Site Authentication | I have logged in (Recommended) — I've signed in through the site's login flow, Skip authenticated pages — Only test publicly accessible pages and APIs, Cancel testing — Stop the test |
If "I have logged in":
Use browser_snapshot to verify the user is now logged in (login link replaced with user name/profile, or authenticated content is visible).
If the login form is still showing:
<!-- gate: test-site:3.5.login-retry | category=pause | cancel-leaves=nothing -->🚦 Gate (pause · test-site:3.5.login-retry): Site-level login not yet complete — re-prompt or cancel.
AskUserQuestion again: "It looks like the login hasn't completed yet. The browser should still be open — please complete the login and try again."Create an additional task for testing authenticated scenarios using TaskCreate:
| Task subject | activeForm | Description | |-------------|------------|-------------| | Test authenticated pages and APIs | Testing authenticated scenarios | Re-crawl site as logged-in user, verify auth-gated pages load and authenticated API calls succeed |
If "Skip authenticated pages":
If "Cancel testing":
Goal: Discover all navigable links on the site and verify each page loads correctly.
Use browser_evaluate to extract all internal links:
() => {
const links = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a[href]'));
return links
.map(a => a.href)
.filter(href => href.startsWith(window.location.origin))
.filter(href => !href.includes('#') || href.split('#')[0] !== window.location.href.split('#')[0])
.map(href => href.split('#')[0])
.filter((href, i, arr) => arr.indexOf(href) === i);
}
Present the discovered links to the user:
"Found X internal links on the homepage. Testing each page..."
For each discovered URL, in sequence:
browser_navigate to go to the URL.browser_wait_for with time: 3 seconds for the page to render.browser_snapshot to verify the page rendered content.browser_console_messages with level: "error" to check for JavaScript errors.browser_evaluate (same script as 4.1) to find any new internal links not already in the queue.Build a results list tracking:
Goal: Capture and analyze all API requests made by the site to verify they are working.
Navigate back to pages that are likely to make API calls — pages with dynamic content such as data tables, lists, forms, or dashboards. Prioritize pages where /_api/ requests were observed in Phase 2.6 or Phase 4.
For each data-driven page:
browser_navigate to go to the page.browser_wait_for with time: 5 seconds to allow API calls to complete.browser_network_requests with includeStatic: false to get all network requests./_api/ — Power Pages Web API / OData endpoints/api/ — Custom API endpointsodata or $filter, $select, $expand query parametersFor each captured API request, evaluate:
| Status Code | Category | Action | |-------------|----------|--------| | 200, 201, 204 | Pass | Valid successful response | | 304 | Warning | Cached response — acceptable but note it | | 401 | Fail | Unauthorized — missing or expired auth token | | 403 | Fail | Forbidden — table permissions or site settings issue | | 404 | Fail | Not found — incorrect entity set name or endpoint | | 500 | Fail | Server error — internal Dataverse or plugin error | | Other 4xx/5xx | Fail | Unexpected error |
Server logic endpoints (/_api/serverlogics/<name>) commonly return a standard envelope whose data field is typically a string on success, but it is not guaranteed to be one in every response — in failure or edge cases data may be null, absent, a non-JSON string, or another non-string value. When the server logic returns serialized JSON (common), data must be parsed to reveal the actual payload — and that payload itself may be nested further. Frontend code often parses to the wrong level, reads the wrong keys, or treats data as the final object, producing silent UI failures. Test-site must surface the exact observed shape so the frontend can be corrected rather than assuming data is always directly parseable.
For each /_api/serverlogics/ request observed on any tested page:
Record the endpoint name from the URL (/_api/serverlogics/<endpointName>), the HTTP method, query string parameters, and HTTP status code.
When the request was a GET (no CSRF token required), re-execute it from the browser with browser_evaluate so the full response body is captured. Progressively parse the payload — keep parsing string-typed fields until further parsing fails — and record the shape at each level. Use a script of this form, replacing the URL with the observed one:
async () => {
const res = await fetch('<observed-url>', { credentials: 'include', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' } });
const status = res.status;
const text = await res.text();
const levels = [];
let current;
try { current = JSON.parse(text); } catch { return { status, rawSample: text.slice(0, 2000) }; }
levels.push({ type: Array.isArray(current) ? 'array' : typeof current, keys: current && typeof current === 'object' && !Array.isArray(current) ? Object.keys(current) : null, firstItemKeys: Array.isArray(current) && current[0] && typeof current[0] === 'object' ? Object.keys(current[0]) : null });
// Progressively parse common nested-string fields (data, Body, body, payload, result)
const nestedKeys = ['data', 'Body', 'body', 'payload', 'result'];
while (current && typeof current === 'object') {
const next = nestedKeys.find(k => typeof current[k] === 'string');
if (!next) break;
let parsed;
try { parsed = JSON.parse(current[next]); } catch { break; }
levels.push({ parsedFrom: next, type: Array.isArray(parsed) ? 'array' : typeof parsed, keys: parsed && typeof parsed === 'object' && !Array.isArray(parsed) ? Object.keys(parsed) : null, firstItemKeys: Array.isArray(parsed) && parsed[0] && typeof parsed[0] === 'object' ? Object.keys(parsed[0]) : null });
current = parsed;
}
return { status, levels, rawSample: text.slice(0, 2000) };
}
For non-GET server logic requests, do not re-execute them (they may mutate data). Rely on the already-captured browser_network_requests entry and report whatever response metadata is available. Note in the report that the body was not re-captured.
Build a "Server Logic Response Shapes" section for the Phase 6 report. For each endpoint record: endpoint name, HTTP method, status, the chain of parse levels (what key was parsed at each step, resulting type, keys at that level, and first-item keys when the level is an array), and a raw sample (first ~2000 chars, matching the slice in the script above). If envelope.success === false and envelope.error is present, report the error verbatim.
Compare the observed shape to how the frontend actually consumes it (service files, hooks, components found in the repo). If there is a mismatch — e.g. the UI reads envelope.data.value as an object but the actual payload is a string that needs parsing, or expects a field name that doesn't appear in the observed keys — identify the mismatch and recommend the minimal frontend change needed to match the real shape. Be specific about the parsing or field access change required, but do not modify frontend code or create a commit in this skill; leave implementation to a separate editing/remediation skill or phase.
Record the findings and any recommended frontend fixes for the Phase 6 report.
For each failed API request, provide specific remediation:
/_api/ calls: "Check the following:\n 1. Table permissions — Ensure a table permission exists for this table with the correct scope and privileges (Read, Write, etc.) assigned to the appropriate web role.\n 2. Site settings — Verify Webapi/<tablename>/enabled is set to true and Webapi/<tablename>/fields lists the required columns (exact Dataverse LogicalNames, all lowercase, comma-separated). If the failing request uses aggregate OData ($apply, aggregate, grouped totals), set Webapi/<tablename>/fields to *.\n 3. Web role assignment — Confirm the authenticated user has the correct web role assigned."Webapi/error/innererror site setting (set to true) to get detailed error messages. Redeploy and retest to see the inner error details."If forms are detected on any page (via browser_snapshot showing form elements), ask the user before interacting:
| Question | Header | Options | |----------|--------|---------| | I found forms on the site that may trigger API calls when submitted. Should I attempt to interact with these forms to test the POST/PATCH API endpoints? Note: this may create or modify data in your Dataverse environment. | Form Testing | Yes, test form submissions — I understand this may create test data, Skip form testing (Recommended) — Only test read-only API calls |
If "Yes":
browser_click to interact with form submit buttons.browser_wait_for to wait for the form response.browser_network_requests to capture the resulting POST/PATCH requests.If "Skip": Continue to Phase 5.6 (or Phase 6 if no authenticated testing task was created).
Skip this step entirely if the user chose "Skip authenticated pages" in Phase 3.5, or if no site-level authentication was detected in Phase 3.3.
Goal: Re-crawl the site as an authenticated user to discover and test pages and API calls that are only available after login.
Mark the "Test authenticated pages and APIs" task as in_progress.
After login, the site navigation may show additional links that were hidden or restricted for anonymous users (e.g., profile pages, dashboards, admin panels, account management).
SITE_URL (homepage).browser_snapshot to capture the authenticated navigation.browser_evaluate (same link extraction script as Phase 4.1) to discover internal links.If new links are found, inform the user:
"Found X additional pages visible after login that were not accessible anonymously. Testing each page..."
For each newly discovered link, follow the same test procedure as Phase 4.2:
For each authenticated page that makes /_api/ requests:
browser_network_requests with includeStatic: false to capture API calls.Record authenticated test results separately so Phase 6 can report them in a distinct section:
Mark the "Test authenticated pages and APIs" task as completed.
Goal: Present a comprehensive summary of all test results and suggest next steps.

Present results in a clear table:
## Page Test Results
| # | URL | Status | Console Errors | Notes |
|---|-----|--------|----------------|-------|
| 1 | / | Pass | 0 | Homepage loaded successfully |
| 2 | /about | Pass | 0 | |
| 3 | /products | Pass | 2 | Minor JS warnings |
| 4 | /admin | Fail | 1 | 403 Forbidden |
Pages tested: 4/4 | Passed: 3 | Failed: 1
## API Test Results
| # | Endpoint | Method | Status | Notes |
|---|----------|--------|--------|-------|
| 1 | /_api/cr4fc_products | GET | 200 OK | 12 records returned |
| 2 | /_api/cr4fc_categories | GET | 200 OK | 3 records returned |
| 3 | /_api/cr4fc_orders | GET | 403 Forbidden | Missing table permissions |
API endpoints tested: 3 | Passed: 2 | Failed: 1
If no API requests were captured, note: "No API requests (/_api/ or OData) were detected during testing. This site may not use the Web API, or API calls may require specific user interactions to trigger."
If any /_api/serverlogics/ requests were captured in Phase 5.3b, add a dedicated subsection so the frontend integration can be written against the real response. Show the full chain of parse levels — one block per distinct endpoint:
## Server Logic Response Shapes
### /_api/serverlogics/<endpoint-name> (GET, 200)
- Level 0 (raw body): object, keys: [requestId, success, serverLogicName, data, error]
- Level 1 (parsed from `data`): object, keys: [status, items, count]
- Level 1 `items` property: array; first item keys: [id, name, ...]
- Raw sample: `{"requestId":"...","success":true,"data":"{\"status\":\"success\",\"items\":[{\"id\":\"...\",\"name\":\"...\"}],\"count\":1}", ...}`
Frontend parsing required:
const level1 = JSON.parse(envelope.data);
const items = level1.items;
If a frontend mismatch was detected, list the files and lines that would need to change and the specific parsing/field access correction required — do not apply or commit the change in this skill. This section is the primary deliverable when a developer asks "I don't know what shape my server logic returns — what does the frontend need to do?"
If Phase 5.6 was executed, present results in separate tables:
## Authenticated Page Test Results
| # | URL | Status | Console Errors | Notes |
|---|-----|--------|----------------|-------|
| 1 | /profile | Pass | 0 | User profile loaded |
| 2 | /dashboard | Pass | 1 | Minor JS warning |
| 3 | /admin/settings | Fail | 0 | 403 Forbidden — insufficient web role |
Authenticated pages tested: 3 | Passed: 2 | Failed: 1
## Authenticated API Test Results
| # | Endpoint | Method | Status | Notes |
|---|----------|--------|--------|-------|
| 1 | /_api/cr4fc_orders | GET | 200 OK | Previously 403 — now accessible after login |
| 2 | /_api/cr4fc_userprofiles | GET | 200 OK | Only visible after auth |
Authenticated API endpoints tested: 2 | Passed: 2 | Failed: 0
If no additional pages or APIs were discovered after login, note: "No additional pages or API endpoints were found after authentication. The authenticated user sees the same content as an anonymous visitor."
## Overall Test Summary
| Category | Tested | Passed | Failed | Warnings |
|--------------------------|--------|--------|--------|----------|
| Pages (public) | 4 | 3 | 1 | 0 |
| Pages (authenticated) | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| API Endpoints (public) | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 |
| API Endpoints (auth) | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 |
| Console Errors | — | — | — | 2 |
Overall: X/Y checks passed
If authenticated testing was skipped, omit the authenticated rows from the table.
For each failure, reiterate the specific remediation guidance from Phase 5.4. Group recommendations by category:

The file is overwritten on every run. Ensure the docs/alm/ directory exists before writing — node -e "require('fs').mkdirSync('docs/alm',{recursive:true})".

Do NOT include a top-level notes string that embeds component counts, version numbers, or other run-specific data from prior deploys. Real-world failure: a last-test-site.json notes field hardcoded "4,037 components" from a deploy two runs ago, then surfaced via plan-alm even though the latest deploy shipped 4,051 components. If the marker needs a freeform narrative, base it strictly on the CURRENT run's data — never carry numbers across runs. The structured summary + categories[] is the audit trail; prose summaries belong in the rendered HTML, not in the JSON marker.
Severity rules (apply per test card):
criticalhighlow (expected gate)mediumlowComputing the summary object — read carefully. The summary buckets MUST be aggregated by counting each test's severity field across all categories[].tests[], not derived from the category itself or defaulted to low. plan-alm's Validation tab and the rendered HTML's severity grid both rely on the summary directly — if every test lands in low regardless of its actual severity, every stage looks healthy even when critical failures exist. Real-world reproduction (Citizens portal, 2026-05-21): four tests with severities critical / high / high / low were dumped into summary: {critical:0, high:0, medium:0, low:4} because the agent skipped per-test counting.
Compute it as:
const summary = { critical: 0, high: 0, medium: 0, low: 0, total: 0, automated: 0, manual: 0, passed: 0, failed: 0, skipped: 0 };
for (const cat of (report.categories || [])) {
for (const test of (cat.tests || [])) {
summary.total += 1;
const sev = String(test.severity || '').toLowerCase();
if (sev === 'critical') summary.critical += 1;
else if (sev === 'high') summary.high += 1;
else if (sev === 'medium') summary.medium += 1;
else summary.low += 1; // default for unknown / missing severity
if (test.type === 'manual') summary.manual += 1; else summary.automated += 1;
if (test.status === 'failed') summary.failed += 1;
else if (test.status === 'skipped') summary.skipped += 1;
else summary.passed += 1;
}
}
The plan-alm renderer (render-alm-plan.js buildValidationStagePane) draws four severity cards — Critical / High / Medium / Low — independently. Each summary bucket must reflect the actual count for that severity, not a combined "Medium / Low" total.
Status rules:
passed — assertion held (200, no console errors, expected redirect, etc.)failed — assertion did not hold (5xx, 4xx where 200 was expected, login flow broke, etc.)skipped — phase or test was deliberately bypassed (e.g. user picked "Skip authenticated pages" in 3.5)summary is computed from categories:
critical/high/medium/low — count of tests at each severity, regardless of status (so reviewers see the test surface even when everything passed).total — total test cards.automated/manual — split by type.passed/failed/skipped — split by status.runOutcome is the rolled-up verdict:
failed if any test has status: "failed" AND severity: "critical" OR "high".passed-with-warnings if no critical/high failures but summary.failed > 0 OR there are console errors logged.passed otherwise.Write the file (Node.js, run from the project root):
node -e "require('fs').mkdirSync('docs/alm',{recursive:true})"
node -e "require('fs').writeFileSync('docs/alm/last-test-site.json', process.argv[1])" "$(cat <<'EOF'
{...the JSON above...}
EOF
)"
or — when invoked from plan-alm, the orchestrator may supply the JSON inline. Either way, the marker file location is fixed: docs/alm/last-test-site.json (sibling to docs/alm/last-deploy.json and docs/alm/last-pipeline.json).
Always include stageName in the marker when known. The agent learns the stage label from the upstream context — plan-alm Phase 7's per-target loop, docs/alm/last-deploy.json's stageName, or an explicit user mention. If the stage cannot be inferred (e.g. test-site invoked standalone against an arbitrary URL), set stageName to null; the refresh helper has fallback resolution paths but the explicit field is the most reliable signal.
node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/lib/refresh-alm-plan-data.js" \
--projectRoot "." \
--phase test-site \
--stageName "{stageName}" \
--render
{stageName} is the stage label this run tested (e.g. Staging, Production). Pass an empty string when unknown — refreshTestSite falls back to (1) the marker's stageName field (set in 6.7a above), then (2) the single target stage in planData.stages if there's only one. Multi-stage plans with no explicit stageName + no marker stageName won't be captured (the refresh re-renders without a per-stage validationRun update); always pass it explicitly when you can.
The helper reads docs/alm/last-test-site.json, populates planData.validationRuns[{resolvedStage}] with the categorized test outcome, and re-renders docs/alm-plan.html so the Validation tab updates immediately. When docs/.alm-plan-data.json is absent (standalone invocation, no plan in the project), the helper returns ok:false as a soft no-op — safe to run unconditionally.
