peter 833aee07d4 test(e2e): make the seeded account admin + cover admin nav pages
The E2E account is now admin (matching the real primary user), so the nav spec
also drives scheduler/config/users/audit — exercising the render ternary's admin
branches, which the upcoming PageShell refactor will restructure.

# 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
```sh
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).
**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):
```sh
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`](../../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` / `E2E_PASSWORD` (local-only defaults). Override the container name with
`E2E_API_CONTAINER`; skip the in-container seed with `E2E_SKIP_SEED=1`.
## Selectors
The app has no `data-testid`s 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).
