/**
 * EventSnap E2E config.
 *
 * Defaults assume the test stack is already up (`npm run stack:up`). The
 * stack is *not* started by webServer because Playwright would clobber the
 * compose volumes between retries. CI calls `npm run stack:up` once before
 * `npm run test:e2e` runs.
 *
 * UA matrix: the `@smoke` happy-path runs across every project to catch
 * engine-level divergences. The rest of the suite only runs against
 * `chromium-desktop` to keep the wall-clock reasonable.

  //
  // The standard case for retries is "the environment is flaky, the product isn't." That argument
  // does not hold here. This backend's real bugs ARE races (the last several fixes were all export
  // concurrency), and from the outside a race is indistinguishable from a flake — so a retry
  // resolves that ambiguity, silently, in favour of "flake", every single time.
  //
  // The numbers make it concrete. A test that fails 3% of runs reports a bug roughly 1 run in 33.
  // Under `retries: 2` it fails the build only when it fails three times in a row: ~1 in 37,000.
  // We had exactly such a test, and it was reporting a REAL user-facing bug (a suggestion button
  // that committed on mousedown and destroyed itself mid-click). Retries would have buried it
  // forever, and buried it GREEN, so nobody would even have seen an amber.
  //
  // Worse, a retry does not re-run the failing conditions — it runs a CLEANER environment (the
  // interfering background worker from the previous test has since finished). So the mechanism is
  // specifically good at hiding exactly the cross-test contamination this suite is prone to.
  //
  // A flake here is a bug report. Treat it as one.
  retries: 0,
  workers: 1, // One worker. Multi-worker needs per-worker isolated DBs (Phase 2+).
