Autocomplete loading and empty states: retry affordance reports the error text as the query · case 02
The retry-label completion transition produces an incorrect observable state.
Case contract
A loading snapshot distinguishes initial loading, background refreshing, settled-empty, error and cancellation. Only settled successful empty responses show no-results. Existing rows may remain visible during refresh but are bound to the draft they represent; stale errors never overwrite a newer query status.
Why this case matters
Autocomplete couples draft text, suggestion identity and asynchronous presentation; this bounded lifecycle model isolates one observable interaction defect.
One recorded failure
Sample boundary fixtureThis sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.
| Boundary fixture | Actual | Expected | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| normal retry-label | {"error": "timeout", "query": "timeout"} | {"error": "timeout", "query": "pe"} | Failed |
