Goal
Strengthen demo reliability checks by explicitly validating demo showcase and artifact discovery surfaces. The existing smoke check already covered five-layer routes and
/demo, but did not cover
/artifacts and related walkthrough routes. This task extends route coverage so regressions in demo-critical pages are caught automatically.
Acceptance Criteria
☑ scripts/demo_smoke_check.py checks /artifacts in addition to existing demo routes.
☑ Demo walkthrough routes (/showcase, /origins) are included in smoke coverage.
☑ Smoke check runs successfully against http://localhost:8000.
☑ Service health and core page status checks pass after the change.
Approach
Read current smoke check route list and confirm missing demo/artifact endpoints.
Extend route definitions with explicit coverage for /artifacts, /showcase, and /origins.
Run syntax checks and execute the smoke checker with timeout-safe commands.
Validate API/service health and core route HTTP codes.Dependencies

Work Log
2026-04-04 06:12 PT — Slot 1
- Started task and reviewed
AGENTS.md and QUESTS.md priorities.
- Claimed no eligible slot task; created this one-shot batch task for Quest 16 demo reliability.
- Confirmed existing smoke checker includes
/demo but not /artifacts.
- Began implementing spec-compliant route coverage update.
2026-04-04 06:14 PT — Slot 1
- Updated
scripts/demo_smoke_check.py route list to include /artifacts, /showcase, and /origins.
- Ran syntax check:
timeout 300 python3 -m py_compile scripts/demo_smoke_check.py (pass).
- Ran smoke check:
timeout 300 python3 scripts/demo_smoke_check.py --base-url http://localhost:8000 --timeout 8 (10/10 pass).
- Verified health checks:
timeout 60 curl -s http://localhost:8000/api/status | python3 -m json.tool returned valid JSON.timeout 120 scidex services list shows API/nginx/neo4j active.- Route probe returned expected status codes for core + demo routes, including
/artifacts, /showcase, /origins.
- Result: Done — automated demo route smoke coverage now includes artifact and walkthrough pages.

Notes
- Previous attempts (commits 7351b2a14, db6ec381f) were made on a branch that was never merged to main — those changes are not on origin/main.
- The smoke check script on main is
scripts/smoke_check.py (not scripts/demo_smoke_check.py as mentioned in earlier spec versions).
- Pre-existing failures:
/agents returns 301 instead of expected 200 (not related to this task).
- Pre-existing slow routes (>2000ms): /analyses/, /exchange, /senate/quality-gates, /senate/epistemic-health, /artifacts, /entity/APOE.
