## Executive Summary

| Status | Count |
|--------|-------|
| Passed | 10 |
| Failed | 1 |
| Total Tests | 11 |

**Overall Assessment**: The core bet creation and taking functionality IS WORKING at the API level. However, there is a **CRITICAL UI BUG** in the TakeBetModal component that displays corrupted data to users.

---

## Test Results Summary

### Passed Tests
- TC-001: Home page event loading
- TC-002: Alice login and navigation to Sport Events
- TC-003: Event selection and spread grid viewing
- INVESTIGATION-003: TradingPanel bet creation (API call confirmed)
- TAKE-001: TradingPanel Take bet section check
- TAKE-002: SpreadGrid modal take bet flow (API returned 200, bet status: matched)

## Defect Reports

### DEF-001: TakeBetModal Displays Corrupted Data (NaN and undefined)

**Severity**: HIGH
**Priority**: P1
**Status**: New
**Component**: `/frontend/src/components/bets/TakeBetModal.tsx`

#### Description
The TakeBetModal component displays corrupted data including "NaN", "$undefined", and missing values because it incorrectly accesses bet data. The `betInfo` variable is assigned from `event.spread_grid[spread.toString()]` which returns an array of `SpreadGridBet[]`, but the code treats it as a single `SpreadGridBet` object.

#### Steps to Reproduce
1. Login as any user (bob@example.com / password123)
2. Navigate to /sport-events
3. Click on an event (e.g., "Wake Forest vs MS State")
4. Click on a spread cell that shows "X open" (indicating available bets)
5. Click "Take Bet" button in the SpreadDetailModal
6. Observe the TakeBetModal content

#### Expected Result
- "Their Bet" section shows: "[creator_username] is betting $[amount] on [team] [spread]"
- "Your stake: $[amount]"
- "Total pot: $[calculated_value]"
- "House commission (10%): $[calculated_value]"
- "Winner receives: $[calculated_value]"
- Button shows: "Take Bet ($[amount])"

#### Actual Result
- "Their Bet" section shows: "is betting **$** on MS State -9.5" (missing username and amount)
- "Your stake: $" (missing amount)
- "Total pot: $NaN"
- "House commission (10%): $NaN"
- "Winner receives: $NaN"
- Button shows: "Take Bet ($undefined)"

#### Evidence
- Screenshot: `tests/screenshots/take002-take-modal.png`
- Screenshot: `tests/screenshots/take004-take-modal.png`

#### Root Cause Analysis
In `/frontend/src/components/bets/TakeBetModal.tsx`, line 24:
```typescript
const betInfo = event.spread_grid[spread.toString()]
```

This returns `SpreadGridBet[]` (an array), but the code uses it as a single object:
- Line 74: `betInfo.creator_username` - accessing array property (undefined)
- Line 75: `betInfo.stake` - accessing array property (undefined)
- Line 98: `(betInfo.stake * 2).toFixed(2)` - undefined * 2 = NaN

#### Suggested Fix
The modal should find the specific bet by `betId` from the array:
```typescript
const bets = event.spread_grid[spread.toString()] || []
const betInfo = bets.find(b => b.bet_id === betId)
```

#### Impact
- Users see corrupted data when attempting to take a bet
- Users cannot confirm the stake amount they are committing
- Poor user experience and potential trust issues
- However, the API call still works correctly (bet is taken successfully)

### DEF-002: TradingPanel "Take Existing Bet" Section Not Visible

**Severity**: MEDIUM
**Priority**: P2
**Status**: New
**Component**: `/frontend/src/components/bets/TradingPanel.tsx`

#### Description
When navigating to an event detail page via the home page, the TradingPanel's "Take Existing Bet" section is not visible, even when there are open bets available. This may be due to filtering logic or the section not being displayed when there are no bets at the currently selected spread.

#### Steps to Reproduce
1. Login as bob@example.com / password123
2. Navigate to home page (/)
3. Click on an event name (e.g., "Wake Forest vs MS State")
4. Observe the TradingPanel on the right side
5. Look for "Take Existing Bet" section

#### Expected Result
If there are open bets at any spread, the "Take Existing Bet" section should show available bets or indicate how to find them.

#### Actual Result
The "Take Existing Bet" section is not displayed, even though the Order Book shows open bets exist.

#### Evidence
- Test output: `Found 0 Take buttons` from TAKE-001 test
- Screenshot: `tests/screenshots/take001-event-page.png`

#### Notes
This may be working as designed - the section only shows bets at the currently selected spread. However, this could be improved for user experience.

## Recommendations

### Immediate Actions (P1)
1. **Fix TakeBetModal data access bug** - Change array access to find specific bet by ID

### Short-term Improvements (P2)
1. Add data-testid attributes to key UI elements for more reliable testing
2. Improve TradingPanel's "Take Existing Bet" visibility/discoverability
3. Add loading states to indicate when API calls are in progress

### Testing Improvements
1. Add unit tests for TakeBetModal component
2. Add integration tests for bet state transitions
3. Add visual regression tests for modal content

## Conclusion

**The bet creation and taking functionality is WORKING at the API level.** Both creating and taking bets successfully call the backend API and receive successful responses. The critical issue is the **TakeBetModal UI displaying corrupted data** (NaN, undefined) due to incorrect data access patterns in the React component.

The user can still successfully take bets despite the visual bug because the API call uses the correct `betId` parameter. However, this creates a poor user experience and should be fixed immediately.
