+# Onyx Milestone 2 Integration Testing
+
+## Overview
+This document serves as a living record of integration testing for Onyx Milestone 2 (Transparent Versioning and onx save command). It captures test procedures, results, and action items for fixes needed.
+
+---
+
+## Test Environment

+
+---
+
+## Test Execution Steps
+
+### ✅ Step 1: Repository Initialization
+**Command**: `/home/dubey/projects/onyx/bin/onx init`
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: Init succeeded without errors
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.git/` directory created
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.onx/` directory created
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.onx/workstreams.json` exists
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.onx/oplog` file exists
+- ✅ **PASS**: Initialize message displayed
+
+**Issues Found**: None
+
+**Verification Commands**:
+```bash
+ls -la                     # Shows .git and .onx directories
+cat .onx/workstreams.json  # Shows: {"workstreams":[]}
+stat .onx/oplog           # Confirms file exists
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 2: Daemon Startup
+**Command**: `onx daemon start`
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: Daemon started without errors
+- ✅ **PASS**: `onx daemon status` shows "Onyx daemon is running (PID: 369524)"
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.onx/daemon.pid` file created with correct PID 369524
+- ✅ **PASS**: Daemon process confirmed running in background
+- ✅ **PASS**: No startup errors
+
+**Verification Commands**:
+```bash
+onx daemon status            # Shows daemon status
+cat .onx/daemon.pid           # Shows PID
+ps aux | grep onxd           # Shows running daemon process
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 3: Create Initial File
+**Commands**:
+```bash
+echo 'print("hello world")' > main.py
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: File creation succeeded
+- ✅ **PASS**: File content correct: `print("hello world")`
+- ✅ **PASS**: File exists in repository
+
+**Verification**:
+```bash
+cat main.py                  # Shows content
+ls -la                      # Confirms main.py exists
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 4: Automatic Snapshot Creation
+**Action**: Wait 3 seconds for debouncing
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: Daemon detected file change
+- ✅ **PASS**: `.onx/workspace` file updated with timestamp
+- ✅ **PASS**: Workspace ref `refs/onyx/workspaces/current` created
+- ✅ **PASS**: Snapshot commit SHA: `620c8d55bc7bf749032b8ed0bc0e590aa09e34b3`
+
+**Verification**:
+```bash
+cat .onx/workspace          # Shows workspace state with commit SHA
+git show-ref refs/onyx/workspaces/current  # Shows reference exists
+```
+
+**Workspace State Content**:
+```json
+{
+  "current_commit_sha": "620c8d55bc7bf749032b8ed0bc0e590aa09e34b3",
+  "workstream_name": "main",
+  "last_snapshot": "2025-10-10T17:30:29.909137935-04:00",
+  "is_dirty": false,
+  "tree_hash": "4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904"
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 5: Save Command Test (FIXED)
+**Command**: `onx save -m "Add hello world program"`
+
+**Initial Issue**: Workstreams.json structure mismatch
+- **Fixed**: Changed `{"workstreams":[]}` to `{"workstreams":{}}` in repository.go:111
+- **Note**: Requires manual workstream creation (onx new not yet implemented)
+
+**Results (after fix)**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: Save command succeeded
+- ✅ **PASS**: Commit created: `e16343ad5a210d7b56092a3029cd22d9bb8b5ac0`
+- ✅ **PASS**: Branch ref created: `refs/onyx/workstreams/feature-hello/commit-1`
+- ✅ **PASS**: Workstreams.json updated with commit metadata
+- ✅ **PASS**: Oplog entry created
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 6-8: File Modification, Snapshot, and Second Save
+**Commands**:
+```bash
+echo 'print("goodbye")' >> main.py
+sleep 3  # Wait for snapshot
+onx save -m "Add goodbye message"
+```
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: File modification detected by daemon
+- ✅ **PASS**: Second automatic snapshot created
+- ✅ **PASS**: Second commit saved successfully
+- ✅ **PASS**: Parent-child relationship established in commits
+- ✅ **PASS**: Two commits now in workstream
+- ✅ **PASS**: Both branch refs created (commit-1 and commit-2)
+
+**Commits in Workstream**:
+```json
+"commits": [
+  {
+    "sha": "e16343ad5a210d7b56092a3029cd22d9bb8b5ac0",
+    "message": "Add hello world program",
+    "branch_ref": "refs/onyx/workstreams/feature-hello/commit-1"
+  },
+  {
+    "sha": "0397cd79213b9e5792b2cb335caf77f6182d5294",
+    "message": "Add goodbye message",
+    "parent_sha": "e16343ad5a210d7b56092a3029cd22d9bb8b5ac0",
+    "branch_ref": "refs/onyx/workstreams/feature-hello/commit-2"
+  }
+]
+```
+
+---
+
+### ⚠️ Step 9: Undo Command Test (PARTIAL)
+**Command**: `onx undo`
+
+**Results**:
+- ❌ **FAIL**: Error: "cannot undo: last operation has no state_before"
+- ⚠️ **ISSUE FOUND**: Transaction.Commit() only captures state_after, not state_before
+
+**Root Cause**:
+- The save command uses `Transaction.Commit()` which only logs state_after
+- Undo requires state_before to know what to revert to
+- See oplog entries: `"state_before":null`
+
+**Impact**: Undo cannot revert save operations
+
+---
+
+### ✅ Step 10: Daemon Cleanup
+**Command**: `onx daemon stop`
+
+**Results**:
+- ✅ **PASS**: Daemon stopped gracefully
+- ✅ **PASS**: PID file removed
+- ✅ **PASS**: Process terminated cleanly
+- ✅ **PASS**: `onx daemon status` confirms not running
+
+---
+
+## Issues Discovered
+
+### ✅ Issue #1: Workstreams.json Structure Mismatch [FIXED]
+**Severity**: HIGH - Blocked save functionality
+**Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
+
+**Description**:
+- The initialization in `internal/core/repository.go` created `workstreams.json` with array structure
+- The `models.WorkstreamCollection` expects map structure for workstreams field
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+- File: `internal/core/repository.go:111`
+- Changed: `{"workstreams":[]}` → `{"workstreams":{}}`
+
+---
+
+###✅ Issue #2: Save Transaction Missing state_before [FIXED]
+**Severity**: HIGH - Blocked undo functionality
+**Status**: ✅ RESOLVED
+
+**Description**:
+- The save command was creating oplog entries with `state_before: null`
+- Transaction.Commit() method only captured state_after
+- Undo command requires state_before to restore previous state
+
+**Fix Applied**:
+- Refactored save command to use `ExecuteWithTransaction()` wrapper
+- This method automatically captures both state_before and state_after
+- Removed manual transaction management from save command
+
+**Code Changes**:
+- File: `internal/commands/save.go`
+- Changed from: `tx.Commit("save", message)`
+- Changed to: `ExecuteWithTransaction(repo, "save", message, func() { executeSave(...) })`
+- Simplified executeSave signature (removed tx parameter)
+
+**Test Results**:
+- ✅ Save operations now log complete state_before
+- ✅ Undo command successfully restores Git refs
+- ✅ Oplog entries contain reversible state information
+
+---
+
+## Action Items
+
+### ✅ COMPLETED
+
+- [x] **Fix workstreams.json initialization structure**
+  - **File**: `internal/core/repository.go:111`
+  - **Change**: `{"workstreams":[]}` → `{"workstreams":{}}`
+  - **Status**: FIXED and tested
+
+- [x] **Fix save transaction to capture state_before**
+  - **File**: `internal/commands/save.go`
+  - **Solution**: Refactored to use `ExecuteWithTransaction()` wrapper
+  - **Status**: FIXED - Undo now works with save operations
+
+### 🚨 HIGH PRIORITY
+
+(None currently - all blocking issues resolved!)
+
+### 🔍 MEDIUM PRIORITY (Future Investigation)
+
+- [ ] **Enhance daemon logging**
+  - Add verbose logging mode for snapshot creation
+  - Log filesystem events being processed
+  - Useful for debugging and monitoring
+
+- [ ] **Verify Git compatibility**
+  - Test standard git commands on Onyx-managed repositories
+  - Verify branch references are accessible via git CLI
+  - Ensure Git tools can read Onyx commits
+
+- [ ] **Add integration tests**
+  - Automate the integration test workflow
+  - Test error cases and edge conditions
+  - Add CI/CD integration
+
+---

+# Milestone 2 Integration Test Checklist
+
+## Test Environment Setup
+- **Location**: `/home/dubey/projects/onyx-test/ccr-milestone-2-test`
+- **Goal**: Verify transparent versioning, daemon, save, and undo functionality
+
+---
+
+## Test Steps & Verification Criteria
+
+### Step 1: Repository Initialization
+**Action**: Initialize Onyx repository in test folder
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ `onx init` succeeds without errors
+- ✅ `.git/` directory created
+- ✅ `.onx/` directory created
+- ✅ `.onx/workstreams.json` exists with `{"workstreams":[]}`
+- ✅ `.onx/oplog` file exists (empty)
+- ✅ Command returns success message
+
+### Step 2: Daemon Startup
+**Action**: Start Onyx daemon
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ `onx daemon start` succeeds without errors
+- ✅ `onx daemon status` shows daemon is running
+- ✅ `.onx/daemon.pid` file created with process ID
+- ✅ Daemon process is running in background
+- ✅ No daemon startup errors in logs
+
+### Step 3: Create Initial File
+**Action**: Create `main.py` with print statement
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ File creation succeeds
+- ✅ File exists with correct content: `print("hello world")`
+- ✅ Daemon detects file change (check logs if available)
+- ✅ `.onx/workspace` file updated (after debounce period)
+- ✅ `refs/onyx/workspaces/current` reference exists
+
+### Step 4: Wait for Automatic Snapshot
+**Action**: Wait 3 seconds for debouncing and snapshot creation
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ Daemon processes filesystem events
+- ✅ Workspace state file updated with new commit SHA
+- ✅ Ephemeral commit created in Git repository
+
+### Step 5: Save Command Test
+**Action**: Execute `onx save -m "Add hello world program"`
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ Save command succeeds without errors
+- ✅ Success message displayed
+- ✅ Workstreams.json updated with new commit
+- ✅ New branch reference created (`refs/onyx/workstreams/{name}/commit-1`)
+- ✅ Oplog entry created for save operation
+
+### Step 6: Modify File
+**Action**: Add `print("goodbye")` to `main.py`
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ File modification succeeds
+- ✅ New content: both print statements
+- ✅ Daemon detects file change
+- ✅ Workspace state updated with new ephemeral commit
+
+### Step 7: Wait for Second Snapshot
+**Action**: Wait 3 seconds for debouncing
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ Second automatic snapshot created
+- ✅ Workspace state updated with new commit SHA
+
+### Step 8: Second Save Command Test
+**Action**: Execute `onx save -m "Add goodbye message"`
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ Save command succeeds
+- ✅ Workstreams.json shows 2 commits
+- ✅ New branch reference created (`refs/onyx/workstreams/{name}/commit-2`)
+- ✅ Git history shows 2 commits in workstream
+
+### Step 9: Undo Command Test
+**Action**: Execute `onx undo` (should revert last save)
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ Undo command succeeds without errors
+- ✅ `main.py` content reverted to previous state (only "hello world")
+- ✅ Workstreams.json shows 1 commit (second commit removed)
+- ✅ Git state reverted accordingly
+- ✅ Undo operation logged to oplog
+
+### Step 10: Final Daemon Cleanup
+**Action**: Stop daemon
+**Expected Result**:
+- ✅ `onx daemon stop` succeeds
+- ✅ `onx daemon status` shows daemon not running
+- ✅ `.onx/daemon.pid` file removed
+- ✅ Daemon process terminated cleanly
+
+---
+
+## Additional Verification Tests
+
+### Workstream Integration
+- Verify workstreams.json structure integrity
+- Check commit sequence and parent-child relationships
+- Validate timestamps and metadata
+
+### Git Compatibility
+- Verify standard Git commands work on repository
+- Check that commits are visible via `git log`
+- Verify branch references are properly created
+
+### Error Handling
+- Test daemon behavior when restarted
+- Test save command without active workstream
+- Test undo on empty oplog
+
+---
+
+## Success Criteria
+- All 10 primary steps pass expected results
+- Daemons start/stop cleanly
+- Automatic snapshots created consistently
+- Save and undo operations work as designed
+- Repository remains in valid state
+- No error messages or corruption

+# Onyx Integration Tests
+
+This directory contains automated integration tests for the Onyx version control system.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+Run the full integration test suite:
+
+```bash
+make integration
+```
+
+This will:
+1. Build the `onx` and `onxd` binaries
+2. Create an isolated test environment in `/tmp/onyx-repo-test-{TIMESTAMP}`
+3. Run all integration tests
+4. Clean up automatically
+5. Report results with pass/fail status
+
+## What Gets Tested
+
+The integration test (`integration_test.sh`) validates all Milestone 2 functionality:
+
+### Test Coverage (24 assertions)
+
+1. **Repository Initialization** (6 tests)
+   - `.git` directory created
+   - `.onx` directory created
+   - `oplog` file exists
+   - `workstreams.json` created with correct structure
+   - `.gitignore` created
+   - Workstreams uses map structure (not array)
+
+2. **Daemon Management** (3 tests)
+   - Daemon starts successfully
+   - PID file created
+   - Status command reports running state
+
+3. **Automatic Snapshots** (4 tests)
+   - File changes detected
+   - Workspace state file updated
+   - Git ref created (`refs/onyx/workspaces/current`)
+   - Snapshot commit created
+
+4. **Save Command** (3 tests)
+   - First commit saved successfully
+   - Workstreams.json updated
+   - Branch ref created (`refs/onyx/workstreams/{name}/commit-1`)
+
+5. **Commit Chains** (3 tests)
+   - Second commit saves successfully
+   - Parent-child relationship established
+   - Sequential branch refs created
+
+6. **Undo Command** (3 tests)
+   - Undo operation executes
+   - Oplog contains undo entry
+   - **state_before is non-null** (validates the fix!)
+
+7. **Daemon Cleanup** (2 tests)
+   - Daemon stops gracefully
+   - PID file removed
+   - Status reports not running
+
+## Test Environment
+
+- **Location**: `/tmp/onyx-repo-test-{UNIX_TIMESTAMP}`
+- **Isolation**: Each test run creates a fresh directory
+- **Cleanup**: Automatic cleanup on completion or interruption
+- **Binaries**: Uses `bin/onx` and `bin/onxd` from project root
+
+## Test Output
+
+The script provides color-coded output:
+- 🔵 **Blue** - Informational messages
+- 🟢 **Green** - Tests that passed
+- 🔴 **Red** - Tests that failed
+- 🟡 **Yellow** - Section headers
+
+Example output:
+```
+=====================================
+Test 1: Repository Initialization
+=====================================
+[INFO] Initializing Onyx repository...
+[PASS] Directory exists: .git
+[PASS] Directory exists: .onx
+...
+
+Total Tests: 24
+Passed: 24
+Failed: 0
+
+========================================
+   ALL TESTS PASSED! ✓
+========================================
+```
+
+## Manual Execution
+
+You can run the test script directly:
+
+```bash
+./test/integration_test.sh
+```
+
+The script will:
+- Check for required binaries
+- Create test environment
+- Run all test suites
+- Report detailed results
+- Clean up on exit (even if interrupted with Ctrl+C)
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+The integration test is designed for automated testing:
+
+- **Exit Code**: Returns 0 on success, 1 on failure
+- **Isolated**: No dependencies on external state
+- **Deterministic**: Should produce same results on each run
+- **Fast**: Completes in ~10 seconds
+
+Example CI usage:
+```yaml
+# GitHub Actions
+- name: Run Integration Tests
+  run: make integration
+```
+
+## Debugging Failed Tests
+
+If tests fail:
+
+1. **Check the test output** - Shows which specific assertion failed
+2. **Review the test directory** - Check `/tmp/onyx-repo-test-*` if cleanup failed
+3. **Run manually** - Execute `./test/integration_test.sh` for more control
+4. **Check logs** - Look for daemon errors in test output
+
+Common issues:
+- Daemon not stopping: Check for stale processes with `ps aux | grep onxd`
+- Permission errors: Ensure `/tmp` is writable
+- Binary not found: Run `make build` first
+
+## Test Architecture
+
+The test script uses:
+- **Assertions**: Helper functions for validation
+- **Counters**: Track pass/fail statistics
+- **Cleanup Trap**: Ensures cleanup even on script interruption
+- **Color Output**: Makes results easy to read
+
+Key functions:
+- `assert_file_exists()` - Verify file creation
+- `assert_file_contains()` - Validate file content
+- `assert_ref_exists()` - Check Git references
+- `assert_command_success()` - Verify command execution
+
+## Extending Tests
+
+To add new tests:
+
+1. Add a new test section in `integration_test.sh`
+2. Use assertion functions for validation
+3. Increment test counters appropriately
+4. Update this README with new coverage
+
+Example:
+```bash
+log_section "Test X: New Feature"
+log_info "Testing new feature..."
+"$ONX_BIN" new-command
+assert_file_exists "expected_file"
+```
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Go 1.24.2+
+- Bash shell
+- Write access to `/tmp`
+- `make` utility
+
