+## Deep Test Workflow
+
+When `--deep-test <app-name>` is used (or "Deep test app" is selected interactively), AppAgent runs a comprehensive 4-phase testing pipeline on a previously built app.
+
+### CLI Usage
+
+```bash
+# Deep test only (plan + test + bug report)
+appagent --deep-test my-app
+
+# Deep test and auto-fix bugs
+appagent --deep-test my-app --fix
+
+# Standalone fix from existing bug report
+appagent --fix my-app
+```
+
+### Four Phases
+
+| Phase | Name | Skill | Report |
+|-------|------|-------|--------|
+| 1 | Test Plan Generation (offline) | `test-planner` | `10-test-plan.md` |
+| 2 | Exploratory Testing (screenshot + a11y) | `exploratory-tester` | `11-bug-report.md` |
+| 3 | Structured Testing (follows test plan) | `ui-tester` | `11-bug-report.md` |
+| 4 | Auto-Fix (optional, `--fix`) | `bug-fixer` | `12-fix-report.md` |
+
+**Phase 1** runs offline (no simulator). Reads source code to build a test matrix.
+
+**Phases 2+3** run in parallel on separate simulators:
+- Simulator 1: exploratory tester — does NOT read source code, tests purely from screenshots and accessibility tree
+- Simulator 2+: structured tester — follows the test plan from Phase 1
+
+**Phase 4** only runs if `--fix` is passed. Reads the bug report, fixes bugs, rebuilds, and verifies.
+
+### Key Differences from `--test`
+
+- Generates a **test plan** before testing (visibility into what will be tested)
+- Adds **exploratory testing** driven by screenshots + accessibility tree (finds visual/a11y/UX bugs)
+- Produces a **structured bug report** separate from the test execution log
+- Supports **standalone fix mode** via `--fix`
+

+### Deep test a previously built app
+
+The `--deep-test` command runs a comprehensive 4-phase testing pipeline that goes far beyond the standard `--test` command:
+
+1. **Phase 1: Test Plan Generation** (offline) -- analyzes source code (Views, ViewModels, AppConfig, MockDataProvider) to build a structured test matrix with per-screen checklists, edge cases, and regression checks
+2. **Phase 2: Exploratory Testing** -- an AI tester explores the app using only screenshots and the accessibility tree (does NOT read source code), finding visual bugs, accessibility issues, UX problems, and template leftovers
+3. **Phase 3: Structured Testing** -- follows the test plan from Phase 1, systematically verifying each test case
+4. **Phase 4: Auto-Fix** (optional) -- reads the bug report and fixes each bug, rebuilds, and verifies
+
+Phases 2 and 3 run in **parallel** on separate simulators -- the exploratory tester discovers issues code analysis can't predict, while the structured tester verifies known requirements.

+
+The `--fix` command is a standalone mode that reads an existing bug report from a previous `--deep-test` run and fixes the documented bugs without re-running the full test suite.

+
+| Token | Blur | Y-Offset | Opacity | Usage |
+|-------|------|----------|---------|-------|
+| shadowSmall | 4pt/dp | 2pt/dp | 6% | Chips, badges, subtle elevation |
+| shadowMedium | 8pt/dp | 4pt/dp | 8% | Cards, list items, elevated surfaces |
+| shadowLarge | 16pt/dp | 8pt/dp | 12% | FABs, floating elements, modals |
+
+Shadow color: neutral (black) by default. Brands may override with primary-tinted shadows (e.g., primary at 10% opacity) for a more vibrant look. Colored shadows are preferred for playful/bold brands.
+
+### Gradient System
+
+Gradients add visual richness. Use sparingly on key surfaces — hero sections, primary CTAs, onboarding backgrounds.
+
+| Token | Direction | Usage |
+|-------|-----------|-------|
+| primaryGradient | 135deg (top-left to bottom-right) | Hero sections, prominent CTAs, onboarding |
+| accentGradient | 135deg | Secondary actions, badges, decorative elements |
+| subtleGradient | 180deg (top to bottom) | Section backgrounds, surface variation |
+
+Gradient stops derived from brand palette: primaryGradient uses primary → secondary, accentGradient uses secondary → tertiary, subtleGradient uses surfaceVariant → background. Brands define their own stop colors.
+
+### Animation Presets
+
+Motion brings interfaces to life. All apps should have entrance animations, press feedback, and state change animations.
+
+| Token | Response | Damping | Usage |
+|-------|----------|---------|-------|
+| springBouncy | 0.4s | 0.65 | Playful brands, toggles, celebrations, exaggerated feedback |
+| springSmooth | 0.5s | 0.85 | Professional brands, navigation transitions, subtle fades |
+| springSnappy | 0.3s | 0.75 | Bold/tech brands, press feedback, quick responses |
+| staggerDelay | 50ms | — | Delay between consecutive list item entrance animations |
+| pressScale | 0.95 | — | Button/card scale factor on press (springs back to 1.0) |
+
+Each brand selects which spring preset to use as its default. All animations MUST respect system Reduce Motion preferences.
+
+### Elevation System
+
+Consistent elevation creates visual hierarchy. Higher elevation = more prominent.
+
+| Level | iOS Shadow | Android Elevation | React Native |
+|-------|-----------|-------------------|-------------|
+| elevationNone | no shadow | 0dp | elevation: 0 |
+| elevationLow | shadow(radius: 2, y: 1) | 2dp | elevation: 2 |
+| elevationMedium | shadow(radius: 8, y: 4) | 4dp | elevation: 4 |
+| elevationHigh | shadow(radius: 16, y: 8) | 8dp | elevation: 8 |
