- New ItemCount: a generic, FIXED-WIDTH count pill (glass, non-interactive) — "192,050 items" (neutral noun, dynamic plural), min-w-[9rem] so a changing number never shifts the controls beside it; a million or more collapses to "1M+" with the exact figure in the title tooltip. - Feed toolbar: ItemCount is the fixed leading element now; dropped the mx-1 separators so every gap is a uniform 1.5 (Content-types↔Source used to be wider than Watch-state↔Content-types). - Chrome-to-card alignment (app-wide, via the shared Header + PageShell): the floating header and the toolbar band now span exactly the card grid's width — left-4, and a right edge of 1rem + the scrollbar gutter (measured once into --sbw), so the fixed chrome lines up with the scrolled cards instead of running ~15px past them. Wraps cleanly to multiple rows on mobile. Renames the count testid feed-result-count → item-count (E2Es updated).
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).
Target — PW_BASE_URL (default http://127.0.0.1:8080):
-
:8080(baked SPA) is authoritative and same-origin. After a frontend change you mustsiftlode dev(rebuild) for its baked SPA to carry the latest test hooks. -
:5173(Vite dev) serves source live — the fast refactor loop; it proxies/apito: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 / 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-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).
