Branch: feat/56-doppler-secrets-management
Date: 2026-02-26
Verdict: ✅ PASS

Gherkin Scenarios

#	Scenario	Result
1	Doppler project exists with dev, preview, and production environments	⏭️ SKIP (requires Doppler dashboard access)

3	Developer runs the app locally using Doppler-injected env vars	✅ PASS
4	npm run dev script optionally wraps Doppler	✅ PASS
5	Vercel deployment uses Doppler-synced environment variables	⏭️ SKIP (requires Vercel+Doppler integration)
6	Vercel preview deployments use Doppler preview config	⏭️ SKIP (requires Vercel+Doppler integration)
7	.env.example documents Doppler as the primary secrets source	✅ PASS
8	.env.local.example references Doppler setup	✅ PASS
9	README includes Doppler getting-started steps	✅ PASS
10	README "Deployment (Vercel)" section references Doppler sync	✅ PASS
11	README includes environment config reference mapping	✅ PASS
12	Getting Started preserves the non-Doppler .env.local workflow	✅ PASS
13	App boots and login page renders	✅ PASS
—	doppler.yaml — environment config structure (supplementary)	✅ PASS
—	No secret values committed in any file (supplementary)	✅ PASS
	Totals	36 pass · 4 skip · 0 fail

Failures

None. All 36 executable tests passed on the first attempt (0 retries configured).

The Playwright .last-run.json confirms:

{ "status": "passed", "failedTests": [] }

---

Screenshots

Playwright was configured with screenshot: "only-on-failure". Since all tests passed, no failure screenshots were generated.

5 legacy screenshot files from a prior run (dated 2025-02-26) exist in the qa-report directory. These are stale artifacts and do not correspond to the current passing run.

Key Assertions Verified

• Scenario 3 (AC Project scaffolding: Next.js + React frontend #2): package.json → scripts["dev:doppler"] equals "doppler run -- next dev"; doppler.yaml exists with project: virtual-agent and config: dev
• Scenario 7 (AC Artist CRUD API and profile management #4): .env.example exists with Doppler header comment, all 7 variable names present, no real secret values
• Scenario 8 (AC Artist CRUD API and profile management #4): .env.local.example exists, notes .env.local is optional with Doppler, links to README setup
• Scenario 9 (AC Tours CRUD API #5): README has "Secrets Management" section with brew install dopplerhq/cli/doppler, doppler login, doppler setup, npm run dev:doppler
• Scenario 10 (AC Tour route optimizer: cheapest flight routing across gigs #7): README "Deployment (Vercel)" references Doppler sync as preferred method
• Scenario 11 (AC Hotel search API: venue-proximity hotel recommendations #8): Environment config reference maps dev→Local, stg→Preview, prd→Production
• Scenario 12 (AC Rider document generator: template-based PDF creation #9): Getting Started presents Option A (Doppler, recommended) and Option B (.env.local)
• Scenario 13 (AC Amadeus API integration service #6): Login page renders at /login with "Virtual Agent" heading and email/password form (766ms)

Cross-Validation

Bun test suite ran 193 tests / 0 failures / 433 expect() calls, including 30 Doppler-specific tests. Results fully corroborate Playwright findings.

---

Notes

1. Stale screenshots should be cleaned up. Five scenario-*-failed.png files from a Feb 26 run are still in the qa-report directory.
2. Scenario 13 tests a subset of the Gherkin intent. Full Doppler-only boot verification would require an environment with the Doppler CLI authenticated.
3. doppler.yaml target field is informational only. The target key is not part of Doppler's official CLI schema — used as a human-readable annotation.
4. All 9 testable acceptance criteria are covered by both Playwright (36 tests) and Bun (30 tests), providing dual-runner redundancy.
