Verify the Finished Routes

Verify the Finished Routes

Perform one final route-level verification of the completed application.

Step 1 — Verify the browse route

Open / and confirm the live browse experience works after the full build.

Step 2 — Verify a detail route and a missing route

Open /movie/<known-id> for a real movie, then /movie/<invalid-id> and confirm the missing route uses the expected not-found behavior.

Step 3 — Verify the wishlist and API routes

Open /wishlist with no saved movies and confirm the empty state. Then visit /api/movies/<known-id> and confirm the response is JSON.

Step 4 — Check the browser and terminal

Repeat the main flows while watching for unexpected console or server errors. Fix anything that indicates a regression rather than ignoring it because the visible page still works.

Checkpoint

The major Matinee routes resolve correctly, invalid movie ids are handled, the wishlist survives refreshes, and the server-side movie route supports the browser wishlist flow end to end.
