Status: ✅ COMPLETE
Test Results: 103/103 passing (100%)
-
✅ Recorder (
extensions/capture_mode/recorder.py)- Captures raw accessibility trees via TreeCapture

- Generates multi-type signatures (full, structural, content)
- Persists payloads to JSON with timestamp, raw/normalized trees, and signatures
- Default output:
captures/capture_<timestamp>.json

extensions/capture_mode/ui_tree_export.py)- Helper:
export_tree()saves normalized trees to disk
- Helper:
-
✅ SignatureExport (
extensions/capture_mode/signature_export.py)- Helper:
export_signatures()persists signature maps
- Helper:
-
✅ CLI Command:
run.py capture- Flags:
--out(output path),--tree(offline mode with provided tree) - Saves capture + normalized tree + signatures to
captures/
- Flags:
-
✅ TemplateBuilder (
extensions/template_builder/builder.py)- Loads captures via JSON
- Extracts interactive/semantic nodes as
required_nodes - Uses structural signature from capture
- Generates valid YAML with screen_id, metadata (app, version, source)
- Validates templates before export
-
✅ CLI Command:
run.py baseline- Subcommands:
list,build,validate,show build:--sourcecapture,--outYAML path,--appmetadatavalidate: checks template schema and structurelist: shows all available templatesshow: displays template JSON
- Subcommands:
-
✅ TemplateMetadataValidator (
extensions/template_builder/validators.py)- Validates metadata completeness (version, app)
- Checks semver format compatibility
-
✅ CaptureValidator (
extensions/template_builder/validators.py)- Validates capture file structure (required fields)
- Checks all signature types present
-
✅ LogExporter (
extensions/template_builder/exporters.py)to_json(): JSON Lines format (1 entry per line)to_csv(): CSV with all entry fieldsto_html(): Formatted HTML table with styling
-
✅ TemplateExporter (
extensions/template_builder/exporters.py)to_json(): Exports template dict to JSON
-
✅ CLI Command:
run.py export- Flags:
--log(input log),--format(json/csv/html),--out(output path) - Auto-generates timestamp filename if
--outomitted - Supports all three formats with proper round-trip integrity
- Flags:
All Priority 2 features were already implemented in Phase 3 and remain stable:
-
✅ Matcher.calculate_score
- Fully implemented with 40/40/20 weighting
- Required nodes (40%), structure (40%), roles (20%)
- Returns 0.0-1.0 similarity score
-
✅ DiffEngine structure
- Returns structured diff with added/removed/modified/moved lists
- Provides
diff_summary()for UIs - Includes similarity score
-
✅ NodeClassifier roles
- Comprehensive role coverage: interactive, content, navigation, input, container, decorative, unknown
- Backward-compatible property-based fallbacks
-
✅ NoiseFilters behavior
- Filters invisible, zero-size, decorative, and noise-role elements
- Preserves focusable/interactive nodes
- Configurable via
configure()method
-
✅ Updated
interface/cli/main.pywith new subcommands:capture: capture treesbaseline: manage templates (list/build/validate/show)export: export logs to multiple formats
-
✅ Help text and usage updated across all new commands
- ✅ Unit tests for Recorder, TemplateBuilder, exporters, validators
- ✅ Integration test: full workflow (capture → build → export)
- ✅ CLI smoke tests: capture command output, baseline operations

Tests Added:
tests/test_capture_mode.py(2 tests)tests/test_template_builder.py(2 tests)tests/test_phase4_integration.py(1 integration test)
- Capture Payload Structure: Includes raw, normalized, and signatures to support forensic analysis and template generation
- Template Validation: Performed at build time to ensure YAML is valid before export
- Default Paths: Capture defaults to
captures/capture_<ts>.json; export auto-generates filenames - Exporter Flexibility: Supports JSON, CSV, and HTML for logs; enables ops to use preferred tools
- Priority 2 Carryover: All Priority 2 features already implemented; Phase 4 layers on capture/template tooling
- Test Pass Rate: 100% (103/103)
- Backward Compatibility: All existing CLI commands and tests remain functional
- Error Handling: Graceful degradation in exporters and validators
- Logging: Structured output via Rich display for all CLI commands
-
Phase 5 should add:
- REST API with FastAPI (
run.py api --port 8000) - Versioned template store with rollback/history
- Bulk capture and batch template generation
- Performance benchmarking on large log files
- REST API with FastAPI (
-
Recommended Enhancements (not blockers):
- Add template versioning schema to YAML (track history)
- Implement template import/merge for multi-app baseline libraries
- Add filter support for capture (e.g., by app, date range)
- Support incremental template updates
-
Deprecations:
- None; all Phase 3/4 changes are additive
Phase 4 successfully delivered capture-to-template pipeline with end-to-end CLI wiring and multi-format export. All Priority 2 enhancements carry over from Phase 3 (matcher score, diff structure, role classification, noise filters). The system is now capable of:
- Capturing new UI states
- Generating reusable baseline templates
- Validating baseline quality
- Exporting forensic logs in operator-friendly formats
Ready for Phase 5 (deployment, REST API, versioning).
