46 — holon-pods (Holon Pods)

Category: Student Experience · Small-group collaboration workspaces inside Canvas Service: holon-pods · Routes: 16

Phase 1 — Install via Hub

• In Hub, find Holon Pods in the tool grid
• License state matches expectation (licensed → full card, unlicensed → locked mini-card)
• Click the tool → POST /api/auto-install with tool_id=holon-pods
• Hub generates config XML with embedded custom_license_key
• Canvas external_tools API call succeeds (200)
• Tool appears in Canvas Settings → Apps (nav hidden)
• Hub records install in installed_tools table

Phase 2 — Launch via Hub (no overlays expected)

• Click "Open in Canvas" → tool launches embedded in Hub iframe
• OR Click "⛶ Full Screen" → launches in new tab
• Main UI renders immediately (topbar + sidebar + content)
• No console errors on load or F5 reload

Phase 3 — Daisy chain check

• Trigger any Canvas API action in the tool (e.g. load courses)
• In Hub Settings → Token Pool, calls_made count incremented
• No "enter your Canvas token" prompt in this tool
• If tool tries to use a raw canvas_tokens table instead of the chain → bug

Phase 4 — Feature exercises

• award action: POST runs without errors
• broadcast action: POST runs without errors
• checkin action: POST runs without errors
• goal action: POST runs without errors
• leaderboard: GET returns expected data
• my-pod: GET returns expected data
• pods: create → GET lists it → reload persists
• prompt action: POST runs without errors
• Theme panel (🎨): open, change color, persists on reload
• ADA zoom (A/A+/A++): zoom works, persists on reload
• Help overlay: opens from topbar, renders, closes

Phase 5 — Pin-to-Nav (optional)

• In Hub, toggle "Show in course nav" for this tool
• Tool now visible in Canvas course nav alongside Hub
• Direct launch from course nav works (skips Hub UI but still uses daisy chain)

Notes

(any failures, oddities, or feedback — especially overlays appearing or token re-prompts)

Verdict

• PASS — installs via Hub, launches with no overlays, features work, daisy chain delivers tokens
• PARTIAL — some features work; list above
• FAIL — cannot install via Hub, overlays incorrectly appear, or core features broken
