Published note
Summary: Expanded TheCatAPI public-demo coverage and ran it through QAA API Testing V1. Created/reused 6 additional read-only API cases covering image filters, small image metadata, breed pagination, no-match breed search, category headers, and category-filtered images. Run result: 11 passed, 0 failed, 2 blocked out of 13. Blocked results are intentional safety checks on the read-only target; no mutation approval was granted and no third-party data mutation should have occurred. Recommendation: Keep read-only passing cases prominent for the public demo. Add a short public-report explanation for blocked safety cases so visitors understand they demonstrate guardrails, not broken product behavior.
Published note
Follow-up retest added the historical strict breed-filter case to the public-demo run. Current run totals are 11 passed, 1 failed, 2 blocked out of 14. The failing case expects $[0].breeds[0].id/name on /images/search?limit=1&breed_ids=beng&include_breeds=1, but the runner only found the image-level id. The relaxed breed-filter image case passed, so the public demo can show both a robust contract check and a real contract/expectation finding.
Published note
Added two safe public read-only API test cases for missing detail endpoints: GET /images/0XYvRd7oD and GET /breeds/beng. Remaining gaps are authenticated/user-scoped surfaces: GET /images for uploaded images, favourites detail, vote detail, image upload/delete cleanup, and webhooks. These should use the authenticated target, secretRef thecatapi_api_key, explicit approval for mutations, and paired cleanup cases.
