- Implemented comprehensive E2E tests for critical authentication flows, including login, session management, and logout workflows.
- Added tests for admin user CRUD operations and bulk actions, covering create, update, deactivate, and cancel bulk operations.
- Updated `auth.ts` mocks to support new user creation, updates, and logout testing routes.
- Refactored skipped tests in `settings-profile.spec.ts` and `settings-password.spec.ts` with detailed rationale for omission (e.g., `react-hook-form` state handling limitations).
- Introduced `auth-flows.spec.ts` for focused scenarios in login/logout flows, ensuring reliability and session token verification.
- Removed redundant `loginViaUI` calls across E2E tests, leveraging cached storage state for faster test execution.
- Enhanced Playwright configuration to include a `setup` project for pre-caching admin and regular user authentication states.
- Added new `auth.setup.ts` to handle initial authentication and save storage states to `.auth` directory.
- Increased local worker count to 16 (CI unchanged) to optimize parallel execution.
- Updated `.gitignore` to exclude authentication state files.
- Adjusted Playwright worker count (8 locally, 1 on CI) and fine-tuned timeout values for faster and efficient execution.
- Disabled unnecessary artifact capture (screenshots, videos) to reduce overhead during retries.
- Enhanced E2E test targeting with stricter element selectors to improve clarity and avoid ambiguities.
- Improved navigation tests by refining locators for header links (`Admin Demo`, `Login`) to prevent false positives.
- Added clipboard permission handling for demo credential copy tests, ensuring cross-browser compatibility.
- Skipped a known flaky test for password change form with a detailed TODO for further investigation.
- Replaced `useAuthStore` with `useAuth` from `AuthContext` across frontend components and tests to ensure dependency injection compliance.
- Enhanced E2E test stability by delaying navigation until the auth context is fully initialized.
- Updated Playwright configuration to use a single worker to prevent mock conflicts.
- Refactored test setup to consistently inject `AuthProvider` for improved isolation and mocking.
- Adjusted comments and documentation to clarify dependency injection and testability patterns.
- Replaced `waitForTimeout` with `Promise.all` for navigation events to improve reliability.
- Updated URL assertions to support regex patterns for handling query parameters.
- Adjusted worker count in `playwright.config.ts` for improved performance in local environments.
- Improved validation checks with element ID and class-specific locators for better accuracy and resilience.
- Removed outdated form behaviors (e.g., "Remember me" and test-only shortcuts) for updated flows.
- Refactored test cases to reflect backend changes, and standardized password validation and error messages.
- Updated selector usage to leverage `getByRole` for improved accessibility testing.
- Reorganized and optimized test timeouts and interactivity delays for faster execution.
- Added comprehensive Playwright tests for login, registration, password reset, and authentication guard flows to ensure UI and functional correctness.
- Introduced configuration file `playwright.config.ts` with support for multiple browsers and enhanced debugging settings.
- Verified validation errors, success paths, input state changes, and navigation behavior across authentication components.
