MVP 2 Sprint 4 Completion Summary

🎉 Sprint 4 Successfully Completed!

Duration: ~3.5 hours
Status: ✅ All tasks completed successfully
Commit: f7a7d7a - feat(ui): enhance input variable display - Sprint 4

🎯 Sprint Goals Achieved

Primary Objective: Enhanced Input Variable Display

✅ COMPLETED: Enhanced the Gradio UI to dynamically display input variable placeholders corresponding to the input_variables of the MCPPrompt selected in a PlannedStep.

Key Improvements Delivered

🎨 Enhanced Visual Representation

• Before: "Required Input Variables": "var1, var2"
• After: Comprehensive input requirements section with:
  • Variables list: ["input_text", "method"]
  • Placeholder format: ["{{input_text}}", "{{method}}"]
  • Usage guidance: "Replace 2 placeholder(s) in the template with your data"
  • Helpful examples: Template with placeholders replaced by sample values

📱 Improved UI Information Hierarchy

• Added emoji-based visual organization (🎯, 🔧, 📋, 📝)
• Enhanced section names for better clarity
• Maintained single gr.JSON component for simplicity
• Preserved existing UI performance

📋 Tasks Completed

✅ Task 34: Design UI Strategy for Input Variable Display (60 min)

• Approach Selected: Enhanced JSON Display (Option A)
• Rationale: Optimal balance of clarity, implementation complexity, and hackathon timeline
• Technical Decision: Modify format_planned_step_for_display() with helper functions
• Risk Assessment: Low risk, high compatibility approach

✅ Task 35: Implement Enhanced Input Variable Display (90 min)

• Enhanced Function: format_planned_step_for_display() with comprehensive input variable info
• Helper Functions Added:
  • _format_input_variables_info(): Formats input variable details
  • _generate_placeholder_example(): Creates helpful usage examples
• Features Implemented:
  • Placeholder format display ({{variable}})
  • Usage guidance for users
  • Intelligent example generation
  • Graceful handling of no-input scenarios

✅ Task 36: Manual UI Testing and Validation (45 min)

• Testing Approach: API-based validation due to environment constraints
• Scenarios Tested:
  • Multiple variables (sentiment analysis): 2 variables with business context
  • Complex variables (image captions): 3 variables with accessibility focus
  • Single variable (text summarization): 1 variable with simple template
  • Multiple variables (code quality): 4 variables with technical context
• Results: All scenarios working perfectly with enhanced display

✅ Task 37: Final Sprint Quality Assurance (45 min)

• Test Coverage: 18/18 tests passing (100% success rate)
• New Test Classes Added:
  • TestEnhancedInputVariableDisplay: 6 comprehensive test methods
  • Updated existing tests for new format compatibility
• Code Quality: Auto-fixed formatting issues, maintained high standards
• Integration Testing: API endpoints validated with enhanced functionality
