Description

As reedline has grown in the number of features it is kind of hard to keep track which and how (existing) features should work for the user, without affecting each other.
Thus, it might make sense to update UX_TESTING.md for stuff that is hard to test automaticallly. Here we can document the most important user-facing behavior for the different subsystems to ensure we don't accidentally break them, when doing major changes.
This would also be a great time to identify potential bugs/friction for the user/behavior that can be easily unit-tested but is currently lacking coverage

Research direction

Start with UX_TESTING.md and review its existing coverage against reedline's user-facing subsystems and features. Document important behaviors that are difficult to test automatically, and identify behaviors that could instead gain unit-test coverage; done means the checklist is updated and the missing-test opportunities are recorded.
