peter 7ed2ac4e95 build(frontend): knip also checks what ships; strict indexing in every project
`npm run knip` now runs a second, --production pass, which asks whether the
code that ships uses an export, not just whether anything does. Of the 47
exports only tests reached:
- 34 are exported for their test and say so with @internal, naming the test.
- 11 were module-private names with a stray `export`. Two of them were not
  used at all and are deleted.
- The unused alreadyReported re-export is gone.
Test kits, the e2e suite and the two build-tooling modules are excluded from
the production project, each named in knip.jsonc.

noUncheckedIndexedAccess is now on for the node and e2e tsconfigs too (0
errors), matching the app project. tsconfig.node.json listed a
tailwind.config.js that has not existed since Tailwind 4. That entry is now
playwright.config.ts, which the typed lint finds through this project.

E2E characterization (golden-master) net

Playwright tests that lock the app's five core flows — feed (scroll + filter), channel (open → back), player (open/close), settings (dirty-save + guard), and page switching — so the Platform refactor can prove it changed nothing. They assert current, correct behavior; they deliberately do not encode the known Platform bugs (those get their own specs when the sprints that fix them land).

Run

siftlode e2e            # against the baked localdev :8080 stack (authoritative)
siftlode e2e-ui         # same, Playwright UI mode
siftlode e2e-seed       # (re)seed the test account only, no tests

The localdev stack must be up (siftlode dev). global.setup.ts reseeds the account and logs in once, sharing the session via e2e/.auth/state.json (git-ignored).

Browsers — every flow runs in three projects: chromium (Desktop Chrome), webkit (Desktop Safari) and ipad (iPad gen 7 landscape: 1080×810, touch, mobile). Install the engines once per machine with npx playwright install chromium webkit; run one project with npx playwright test --project=ipad. WebKit catches what every iOS browser inherits from the engine (JS, CSS/layout, event order). It does not reproduce iPad media refusals: Playwright's WebKit decodes through the host OS (Media Foundation on Windows, GStreamer on Linux), and measured on 2026-09-14 it played an mp3-in-mp4 and an AV1 mp4 that a real iPad refuses. Check a media format on a real iPad against the dev stack over the LAN (http://<desktop LAN IP>:8080, e.g. a login-free /watch/<token> share link).

Target — PW_BASE_URL (default http://127.0.0.1:8080):

  • :8080 (baked SPA) is authoritative and same-origin. After a frontend change you must siftlode dev (rebuild) for its baked SPA to carry the latest test hooks.

  • :5173 (Vite dev) serves source live — the fast refactor loop; it proxies /api to :8080, so the stack must still be up. All five flows are proxy-safe (none use the WebSocket):

    PW_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5173 siftlode e2e
    

Account & fixture

Tests run as a dedicated, non-demo admin account e2e@siftlode.local (never a real account; admin so the suite can reach the admin-only pages / render branches, matching the real primary user), reset to a deterministic baseline every run by scripts/e2e_seed.py (run in-container so it reuses the app's models + argon2 hasher): the top-3 organic channels subscribed, one in-progress + one watched + one saved video, prefs pinned to language: en. Credentials come from E2E_EMAIL (default e2e@siftlode.local) and E2E_PASSWORD — required, no default: run the suite through the ops wrapper, which exports it from the secret store. Override the container name with E2E_API_CONTAINER; skip the in-container seed with E2E_SKIP_SEED=1.

Selectors

The app has no data-testids of its own and all copy is i18n (en/hu), so the specs key on a thin data-testid layer (added with this sprint) plus the locale pinned to en. Stable ARIA hooks that already existed are used directly (role="dialog" on the player, aria-current="page" on the active nav row, aria-pressed on the feed toggles).

Typecheck

npx tsc -p e2e/tsconfig.json --noEmit (the specs are outside the app's src tsconfig).
