+
+## Example Workflows
+
+### Full Overworld Editor Test
+```bash
+# 1. Start test harness (if not running)
+./build-grpc-test/bin/yaze.app/Contents/MacOS/yaze \
+  --enable_test_harness \
+  --test_harness_port=50052 \

+
+# 2. Wait for startup
+sleep 3
+
+# 3. Run test
+./build-grpc-test/bin/z3ed agent test \
+  --prompt "Open Overworld editor and verify it loads"
+
+# Expected output:
+# === GUI Automation Test ===
+# Prompt: Open Overworld editor and verify it loads
+# Server: localhost:50052
+#
+# Generated workflow:
+# Workflow: Open and verify Overworld Editor
+#   1. Click(button:Overworld)
+#   2. Wait(window_visible:Overworld Editor, 5000ms)
+#   3. Assert(visible:Overworld Editor)
+#
+# ✓ Connected to test harness
+#
+# [1/3] Click(button:Overworld) ... ✓ (125ms)
+# [2/3] Wait(window_visible:Overworld Editor, 5000ms) ... ✓ (1250ms)
+# [3/3] Assert(visible:Overworld Editor) ... ✓ (50ms)
+#
+# ✅ Test passed in 1425ms
+```
+
+### Custom Server Configuration
+```bash
+# Connect to remote test harness
+./build-grpc-test/bin/z3ed agent test \
+  --prompt "Open Dungeon editor" \
+  --host 192.168.1.100 \
+  --port 50053 \
+  --timeout 60
+```
+
+---
+
+## Error Messages
+
+### Connection Error
+```
+Failed to connect to test harness at localhost:50052
+Make sure YAZE is running with:
+  ./yaze --enable_test_harness --test_harness_port=50052 --rom_file=<rom>
+
+Error: Connection refused
+```
+
+**Solution**: Start YAZE with test harness enabled
+
+### Unsupported Prompt
+```
+Unable to parse prompt: "Do something complex"
+
+Supported patterns:
+  - Open <Editor> editor
+  - Open <Editor> and verify it loads
+  - Type '<text>' in <input>
+  - Click <button>
+
+Examples:
+  - Open Overworld editor
+  - Open Dungeon editor and verify it loads
+  - Type 'zelda3.sfc' in filename input
+  - Click Open ROM button
+```
+
+**Solution**: Use one of the supported prompt patterns
+
+### Widget Not Found
+```
+[1/2] Click(button:NonExistent) ... ✗ FAILED
+  Error: Button 'NonExistent' not found
+
+Step 1 failed: Button 'NonExistent' not found
+```
+
+**Solution**: 
+- Verify widget exists in YAZE
+- Check spelling (case-sensitive)
+- Use exact label from GUI
+
+### Timeout Error
+```
+[2/2] Wait(window_visible:Slow Editor, 5000ms) ... ✗ FAILED
+  Error: Condition not met after 5000 ms
+
+Step 2 failed: Condition not met after 5000 ms
+```
+
+**Solution**:
+- Increase timeout: `--timeout 10`
+- Verify window actually opens
+- Check for errors in YAZE
+
+---
+
+## Exit Codes
+
+- `0` - Success (all steps passed)
+- `1` - Failure (connection, parsing, or execution error)
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Port Already in Use
+```bash
+# Kill existing instances
+killall yaze
+
+# Wait for cleanup
+sleep 2
+
+# Use different port
+./yaze --enable_test_harness --test_harness_port=50053 ...
+./z3ed agent test --port 50053 ...
+```
+
+### gRPC Not Available
+```
+GUI automation requires YAZE_WITH_GRPC=ON at build time.
+Rebuild with: cmake -B build -DYAZE_WITH_GRPC=ON
+```
+
+**Solution**: Rebuild with gRPC support enabled
+
+### Widget Names Unknown
+```bash
+# Manual exploration with grpcurl
+grpcurl -plaintext -import-path src/app/core/proto \
+  -proto imgui_test_harness.proto \
+  -d '{"condition":"visible:Main Window"}' \
+  127.0.0.1:50052 yaze.test.ImGuiTestHarness/Assert
+
+# Try different widget names until you find the right one
+```
+
+---
+
+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Shell Script Integration
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -e
+
+# Start YAZE
+./yaze --enable_test_harness --rom_file=zelda3.sfc &
+YAZE_PID=$!
+sleep 3
+
+# Run tests
+./z3ed agent test --prompt "Open Overworld editor" || exit 1
+./z3ed agent test --prompt "Open Dungeon editor" || exit 1
+
+# Cleanup
+kill $YAZE_PID
+```
+
+### CI/CD Pipeline
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/gui-tests.yml
+- name: Start YAZE Test Harness
+  run: |
+    ./yaze --enable_test_harness --rom_file=zelda3.sfc &
+    sleep 5
+
+- name: Run GUI Tests
+  run: |
+    ./z3ed agent test --prompt "Open Overworld editor"
+    ./z3ed agent test --prompt "Open Dungeon editor"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Typical Timings
+- **Click**: 50-200ms
+- **Type**: 100-300ms
+- **Wait**: 100-5000ms (depends on condition)
+- **Assert**: 10-100ms
+
+### Total Test Duration
+- Simple click: ~100ms
+- Open editor: ~1-2s
+- Open + verify: ~1.5-2.5s
+- Complex workflow: ~3-5s
+
+---
+
+## Extending Functionality
+
+### Add New Pattern Type
+
+1. **Add pattern matcher** (`test_workflow_generator.h`):
+```cpp
+bool MatchesYourPattern(const std::string& prompt, ...);
+```
+
+2. **Add workflow builder** (`test_workflow_generator.cc`):
+```cpp
+TestWorkflow BuildYourPatternWorkflow(...);
+```
+
+3. **Add to GenerateWorkflow()** (`test_workflow_generator.cc`):
+```cpp
+if (MatchesYourPattern(prompt, &params)) {
+  return BuildYourPatternWorkflow(params);
+}
+```
+
+### Add New Widget Type
+
+Currently supported: `button:`, `input:`, `window:`
+
+To add more, extend the target format in RPC calls.

+**Created**: October 2, 2025  
+**Status**: Priority 1 - Ready to Execute  
+**Time Estimate**: 2-3 hours
+
+## Overview
+
+This guide provides a comprehensive checklist for validating the complete z3ed agent workflow from proposal creation through ROM commit. This is the final validation step before declaring the agentic workflow system operational.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+### Build Requirements
+
+```bash
+# Build z3ed CLI
+cmake --build build --target z3ed -j8
+
+# Build YAZE with gRPC support
+cmake -B build-grpc-test -DYAZE_WITH_GRPC=ON
+cmake --build build-grpc-test --target yaze -j$(sysctl -n hw.ncpu)
+
+# Verify grpcurl is installed
+brew install grpcurl
+```
+
+### Test Assets
+
+- ROM file: `assets/zelda3.sfc` (required)
+- Empty workspace for proposals: `/tmp/yaze/` (auto-created)
+
+## Validation Checklist
+
+### ✅ Phase 1: Automated Test Script (30 minutes)
+
+#### 1.1. Run E2E Test Script
+
+```bash
+./scripts/test_harness_e2e.sh
+```
+
+**Expected Output**:
+```
+=== ImGuiTestHarness E2E Test ===
+
+Starting YAZE with test harness...
+YAZE PID: 12345
+Waiting for server to start...
+✓ Server started successfully
+
+=== Running RPC Tests ===
+
+Test 1: Ping (Health Check)
+✓ PASSED
+
+Test 2: Click (Button)
+✓ PASSED
+
+Test 3: Type (Text Input)
+✓ PASSED
+
+Test 4: Wait (Window Visible)
+✓ PASSED
+
+Test 5: Assert (Window Visible)
+✓ PASSED
+
+Test 6: Screenshot (Not Implemented)
+✓ PASSED
+
+=== Test Summary ===
+Tests Run:    6
+Tests Passed: 6
+Tests Failed: 0
+
+All tests passed!
+```
+
+**Success Criteria**:

+# z3ed Implementation Progress - October 2, 2025
+
+**Date**: October 2, 2025  
+**Status**: Priority 2 Implementation Complete ✅  
+**Next Action**: Execute E2E Validation (Priority 1)
+
+## Summary
+
+Today's work completed the **Priority 2: CLI Agent Test Command (IT-02)** implementation, which enables natural language-driven GUI automation. This was implemented alongside preparing comprehensive validation procedures for Priority 1.
+
+## What Was Implemented
+
+### 1. GuiAutomationClient (gRPC Wrapper) ✅
+
+**Files Created**:
+- `src/cli/service/gui_automation_client.h`
+- `src/cli/service/gui_automation_client.cc`
+
+**Features**:
+- Full gRPC client for ImGuiTestHarness service
+- Wrapped all 6 RPC methods (Ping, Click, Type, Wait, Assert, Screenshot)
+- Type-safe C++ API with proper error handling
+- Connection management with health checks
+- Conditional compilation for YAZE_WITH_GRPC
+
+**Example Usage**:
+```cpp
+GuiAutomationClient client("localhost:50052");
+RETURN_IF_ERROR(client.Connect());
+
+auto result = client.Click("button:Overworld", ClickType::kLeft);
+if (!result.ok()) return result.status();
+
+std::cout << "Clicked in " << result->execution_time.count() << "ms\n";
+```
+
+### 2. TestWorkflowGenerator (Natural Language Parser) ✅
+
+**Files Created**:
+- `src/cli/service/test_workflow_generator.h`
+- `src/cli/service/test_workflow_generator.cc`
+
+**Features**:
+- Pattern matching for common GUI test scenarios
+- Converts natural language to structured test steps
+- Extensible pattern system for new prompt types
+- Helpful error messages with suggestions
+
+**Supported Patterns**:
+1. **Open Editor**: "Open Overworld editor"
+   - Click button → Wait for window
+2. **Open and Verify**: "Open Dungeon editor and verify it loads"
+   - Click button → Wait for window → Assert visible
+3. **Type Input**: "Type 'zelda3.sfc' in filename input"
+   - Click input → Type text with clear_first
+4. **Click Button**: "Click Open ROM button"
+   - Single click action
+
+**Example Usage**:
+```cpp
+TestWorkflowGenerator generator;
+auto workflow = generator.GenerateWorkflow("Open Overworld editor");
+
+// Returns:
+// Workflow: Open Overworld Editor
+//   1. Click(button:Overworld)
+//   2. Wait(window_visible:Overworld Editor, 5000ms)
+```
+
+### 3. Enhanced Agent Handler ✅
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `src/cli/handlers/agent.cc` (added includes, replaced HandleTestCommand)
+
+**New Implementation**:
+- Parses `--prompt`, `--host`, `--port`, `--timeout` flags
+- Generates workflow from natural language prompt
+- Connects to test harness via GuiAutomationClient
+- Executes workflow with progress indicators
+- Displays timing and success/failure for each step
+- Returns structured error messages
+
+**Command Interface**:
+```bash
+z3ed agent test --prompt "..." [--host localhost] [--port 50052] [--timeout 30]
+```
+
+**Example Output**:
+```
+=== GUI Automation Test ===
+Prompt: Open Overworld editor
+Server: localhost:50052
+
+Generated workflow:
+Workflow: Open Overworld Editor
+  1. Click(button:Overworld)
+  2. Wait(window_visible:Overworld Editor, 5000ms)
+
+✓ Connected to test harness
+
+[1/2] Click(button:Overworld) ... ✓ (125ms)
+[2/2] Wait(window_visible:Overworld Editor, 5000ms) ... ✓ (1250ms)
+
+✅ Test passed in 1375ms
+```
+
+### 4. Build System Integration ✅
+
+**Files Modified**:
+- `src/CMakeLists.txt` (added new source files to yaze_core)
+
+**Changes**:
+```cmake
+# CLI service sources (needed for ProposalDrawer)
+cli/service/proposal_registry.cc
+cli/service/rom_sandbox_manager.cc
+cli/service/gui_automation_client.cc      # NEW
+cli/service/test_workflow_generator.cc    # NEW
+```
+
+### 5. Comprehensive E2E Validation Guide ✅
+
+**Files Created**:
+- `docs/z3ed/E2E_VALIDATION_GUIDE.md`
+
+**Contents**:
+- 4-phase validation checklist (3 hours estimated)
+- Phase 1: Automated test script validation (30 min)

+- **IT-02**: CLI agent test command (4 hours) ← **Today's Work**
+- **AW-01/02/03**: Proposal infrastructure + GUI
+- **Phase 6**: Resource catalog
+
+### 📋 Next (Priority 1)
+- **E2E Validation**: Test all systems together (2-3 hours)
+- Follow `E2E_VALIDATION_GUIDE.md` checklist
+- Validate 4 phases:
+  1. Automated test script
+  2. Manual proposal workflow
+  3. Real widget automation
+  4. Documentation updates
+
+### 🔮 Future (Priority 3)
+- **AW-04**: Policy evaluation framework (6-8 hours)
+- YAML-based constraints for proposal acceptance
+- Integration with ProposalDrawer UI
+
+---
+
+## 🎓 Key Design Decisions
+
+### 1. Why gRPC Client Wrapper?
+
+**Problem**: CLI needs to automate GUI without duplicating logic  
+**Solution**: Thin wrapper around gRPC service  
+**Benefits**:
+- Reuses existing test harness infrastructure
+- Type-safe C++ API
+- Proper error handling with absl::Status
+- Easy to extend
+
+### 2. Why Natural Language Parsing?
+
+**Problem**: Users want high-level commands, not low-level RPC calls  
+**Solution**: Pattern matching with regex  
+**Benefits**:
+- Intuitive user interface
+- Extensible pattern system
+- Helpful error messages
+- Easy to add new patterns
+
+### 3. Why Separate TestWorkflow struct?
+
+**Problem**: Need to plan before executing  
+**Solution**: Generate workflow, then execute  
+**Benefits**:
+- Can show plan before running
+- Enable dry-run mode
+- Better error messages
+- Easier testing
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Metrics
+
+### Code Quality
+- **New Lines**: ~1,350 (660 implementation + 690 documentation)
+- **Files Created**: 7 (4 source + 1 build + 2 docs)
+- **Files Modified**: 2 (agent.cc + CMakeLists.txt)
+- **Test Coverage**: E2E test script + validation guide
+
+### Time Investment
+- **Design**: 1 hour (architecture + interfaces)
+- **Implementation**: 2 hours (coding + debugging)
+- **Documentation**: 1 hour (guides + comments)
+- **Total**: 4 hours
+
+### Functionality
+- **RPC Methods**: 6 wrapped (Ping, Click, Type, Wait, Assert, Screenshot)
+- **Pattern Types**: 4 supported (Open, OpenVerify, Type, Click)
+- **Command Flags**: 4 supported (prompt, host, port, timeout)
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Known Limitations
+
+### Natural Language Parser
+- Limited to 4 pattern types (easily extensible)
+- Case-sensitive widget names (intentional for precision)
+- No multi-step conditionals (future enhancement)
+
+### Widget Discovery
+- Requires exact label matches
+- No fuzzy matching (could add)
+- No widget introspection (limitation of ImGui)
+
+### Error Handling
+- Basic error messages (could be more descriptive)
+- No suggestions on typos (could add Levenshtein distance)
+- No recovery from failed steps (could add retry logic)
+
+### Platform Support
+- gRPC test harness: macOS/Linux only
+- Windows: Manual testing required
+- Conditional compilation: YAZE_WITH_GRPC required
+
+---
+

+2. **Incremental Development**: Build → Test → Document
+3. **Comprehensive Docs**: E2E guide will save hours of debugging
+4. **Code Reuse**: Leveraged existing IT-01 infrastructure
+
+### What Could Be Improved
+1. **More Pattern Types**: Only 4 patterns, could add more
+2. **Better Error Messages**: Could include suggestions
+3. **Widget Discovery**: No introspection, must know exact names
+4. **Cross-Platform**: Windows support missing
+
+### Future Considerations
+1. **LLM Integration**: Generate patterns from examples
