MechaCat02 74f7b3b631 test(dashboard): add Playwright e2e scaffolding with smoke spec
Milestone A of the frontend test plan. Sets up the test rig — config,
globalSetup that probes the backend and seeds an admin session into
storageState, lightweight fixtures, and a 3-test smoke spec — without
yet covering any user journeys (those land in Milestone B).

# Dashboard E2E tests
Browser-driven tests for the PiCloud dashboard, powered by [Playwright].
## Prerequisites
The tests drive a real dashboard against a real backend. Bring up both
before running:
```sh
# 1. Postgres
docker compose up -d postgres
# 2. Backend (port 18080 matches dashboard/vite.config.ts dev proxy)
PICLOUD_BIND=127.0.0.1:18080 \
PICLOUD_ADMIN_USERNAME=admin \
PICLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD=admin \
DATABASE_URL=postgres://picloud:picloud@127.0.0.1:15432/picloud \
cargo run -p picloud
# 3. Browser binaries (one-time, ~200 MB)
cd dashboard && npm run test:e2e:install
```
The Vite dev server is started automatically by Playwright's `webServer`
config — you do not need to run `npm run dev` yourself.
## Running
```sh
cd dashboard
npm run test:e2e # headless, full suite
npm run test:e2e:ui # interactive UI runner
npx playwright test smoke # run a single spec
npx playwright show-report
```
## Env vars
| Var | Default | Notes |
| ------------------------ | ------------------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `E2E_BASE_URL` | `http://localhost:5173` | Origin tests navigate against (dashboard is mounted at `/admin`). |
| `E2E_API_BASE` | `http://127.0.0.1:18080` | Backend used by globalSetup health probe + admin login. |
| `E2E_DASHBOARD_ORIGIN` | `http://localhost:5173` | Used to seed `localStorage` during globalSetup. |
| `E2E_ADMIN_USERNAME` | `admin` | Bootstrap admin to log in as. |
| `E2E_ADMIN_PASSWORD` | `admin` | Match `PICLOUD_ADMIN_PASSWORD` above. |
| `PICLOUD_DASHBOARD_PORT` | `5173` | Dev server port — picked up by both Vite and Playwright. |
## How isolation works
Tests share one backend + one Postgres. To avoid cross-test interference:
- A shared bootstrap admin session is captured once in
`tests/e2e/.auth/admin.json` (gitignored) and reused by every test via
`storageState`.
- Each test creates resources with a unique slug / username produced by
`fixtures/ids.ts` (`e2e-<prefix>-w<worker>-<random>`).
- Each test registers cleanup via `fixtures/cleanup.ts` and tears down
in `afterEach`. Cleanup is best-effort: a missing resource doesn't
fail the suite, so a test can pre-delete and still register the entry.
## Layout
```
tests/e2e/
global-setup.ts # health probe + admin login + storageState seed
smoke.spec.ts # A.5 smoke
fixtures/
auth.ts # UI login/logout helpers (for login-flow specs)
api.ts # bearer-token-backed APIRequestContext
ids.ts # unique slug/username generators (test-fixture)
cleanup.ts # afterEach resource teardown
```
