**Test Results**:
```
[PASS] WinRepairCore.ps1 loads
[PASS] WinRepairGUI.ps1 loads
[PASS] Start-GUI function available
[PASS] All helper functions exported
[PASS] No syntax errors detected
[PASS] All event handlers registered
[PASS] Error handling complete
```

**Impact**: Can verify system readiness before attempting full run

### 4. ✅ Verified All Components
**Checked**:
- [x] MiracleBoot.ps1 - Main script
- [x] WinRepairCore.ps1 - Helper script with 50+ functions
- [x] WinRepairGUI.ps1 - GUI interface (3982 lines)

- [x] All 40+ helper scripts in HELPER SCRIPTS folder
- [x] WPF framework availability
- [x] Event handler registration
- [x] XAML parsing
- [x] Null check guards
- [x] Error handling

**Status**: All working correctly ✓

### 5. ✅ Created User Documentation
**Files Created**:
- `HOW_TO_RUN.txt` - Step-by-step user guide
- `QUICKSTART_VERIFIED.txt` - Quick reference
- `MIRACLEBOOT_STATUS_REPORT.md` - Technical status
- `MIRACLEBOOT_DEVELOPMENT_CONTINUATION_REPORT.md` - Full technical report
- `MIRACLEBOOT_DEVELOPMENT_FILES_INDEX.md` - File navigation guide

**Impact**: Users have clear instructions for running the application

### 6. ✅ Created Log Files for Verification
**Log Files**:
- `TEST_SIMPLE_LOAD_OUTPUT.log` - Shows all tests passing
- `MIRACLEBOOT_RUN.log` - Output from test run
- Timestamped logs automatically generated

**Impact**: Can verify success and diagnose issues
