QA report: external/arctimes.net at hosted
The application is functional across all primary flows with one low-severity unhandled promise rejection on the Copy Link action.
Testing covered 10 scenarios on arctimes.net, exercising article browsing, photo lightbox interactions, related article navigation, social sharing, invalid slug error handling, and external links.
All 10 scenarios passed functional checks, though auditing confirmed a low-severity functional issue (F1) where clicking the Copy Link button causes an unhandled promise rejection when clipboard write permissions fail.
The core reading and navigation workflows operate as expected, with this minor clipboard error being the sole defect identified.

Issues
Low severity
F1 · Unhandled promise rejection on Copy Link action
Severity: low · Type: functional · Verdict: promoted · Scenario: S7
Surfaced by the audit of S7, which the Tester passed, and reproduced live: Navigated to a news detail page and clicked the 'COPY LINK' button. No graceful error handling, toast, or user feedback was displayed on the page, confirming the lack of a proper UI response for the clipboard rejection. The page reported 1 console error during the scenario.
Expected: The application gracefully handles the clipboard API permission denial or rejection.
Actual: An uncaught console error is thrown regarding clipboard write permission.
Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate to a news detail page.
- Click the COPY LINK button.

The audit
The Critic reviewed 0 findings and re-verified 1 of them live in the browser, replaying the reported steps on a fresh page.
- Scenario S7 encountered a clipboard permission error, indicating the test harness may need clipboard-write permissions explicitly enabled to accurately test this feature.
What to fix first
- Add error handling to the Copy Link action to gracefully catch clipboard permission rejections (F1).
Coverage and caveats
In scope: Homepage news listing and layout; Article detail view and metadata rendering; Photo lightbox gallery interactions; Social sharing links and copy functionality; Cross-article navigation via related stories; Edge cases for missing or invalid article slugs.
Not covered: Wallet connection and transaction flows; Verification of external pages off-origin.
- The application does not have interactive form submissions or authentication as none were mapped.
- Automated browsers often deny clipboard write permissions by default; the copy link test assumes a console permission error is an acceptable outcome provided the page does not crash.
