+[awaiting human testing]
+
+## Tests
+
+### 1. Tab navigation URL sync
+expected: Clicking Overview / Tasks / Files tabs updates the browser URL bar via hx-push-url; browser Back button returns to previous tab
+result: [pending]
+
+### 2. File upload end-to-end
+expected: Selecting a file and submitting the upload form stores bytes in MinIO S3 bucket and creates a tablo_files DB row; file appears in the list immediately
+result: [pending]
+
+### 3. Download via presigned URL
+expected: Clicking the download link generates a presigned S3 URL and redirects (302) the browser to it; file downloads within 5-minute TTL
+result: [pending]
+
+### 4. Delete row removal + persistence
+expected: Clicking the inline delete confirmation removes the file from both S3 and DB; the file row disappears from the list on next page load
+result: [pending]
+
+### 5. Oversize upload friendly error
+expected: Uploading a file larger than MAX_UPLOAD_SIZE_MB (default 25MB) shows a friendly error message above the upload form rather than a 500 or generic error
+result: [pending]
+
+### 6. Authorization with two accounts
+expected: A user who does not own the tablo cannot upload, list, download, or delete files for that tablo (receives 404); only the tablo owner can access file routes
+result: [pending]
