- A password reset or change, "log out everywhere" and a revoked untrusted password revoke all of the account's API tokens too (audited): one minted from a stolen session no longer outlives the answer. - A bearer token or link grant with a non-ASCII character is refused (401/403), not a 500. - Making a token's grants or a folder link holds the folder, so a racing delete cannot fail the foreign key; a link's view count is one atomic UPDATE. - A folder link's card counts exactly the files its page lists (one `links.folder_files`). - A file with no extension is served without a trailing dot. - 0106's downgrade names a Hub folder so it never collides with one of the user's folders. - The speed baseline reads share tokens through the app (the database keeps them hashed/encrypted). - Tests: the token scope on the real session stack, the folder poster, the Hub refused for a link, 0106's downgrade data step, 0107 without a key; docs/comments follow (three folder kinds, folder links, key change, the cleanup job's token warnings).
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).
A dropped localhost connect — on a Windows host, a burst of test traffic can drop a loopback
connect now and then (every port, any program). The browser resends it and only waits (a loader
outlives an expect timeout); Node does not, so a request from the test side fails with
connect ETIMEDOUT. Those requests go through retryConnect (e2e/retryConnect.ts), which tries
that one error again and passes every other failure straight on. Don't run two e2e suites on the
same machine at once.
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 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:PW_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5173 siftlode e2e
Account & fixture
Tests run as a dedicated 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).
