+# fix: Add testID coverage to unblock QA pipeline Maestro and Playwright flows
+
+## Overview
+
+The cross-platform QA pipeline (PR #795) is set up correctly but 30 flows fail because the React Native and Next.js components lack the `testID` / `data-testid` attributes that Maestro and Playwright flows reference. This plan adds those attributes, then re-runs the pipeline to verify 100% pass rate is achievable.
+
+## Problem Frame
+
+First real run of the local QA pipeline surfaced:
+
+- **iOS Maestro**: 29/49 passed, 20/49 failed — all failures are `Element not found: Id matching regex: tab-discover|tab-home|tab-library|tab-profile` (tab bar testIDs missing)
+- **Android Maestro**: 29/49 passed, 20/49 failed — identical pattern to iOS
+- **Playwright web**: 190/200 passed, 10/200 failed — mix of missing `data-testid` and fragile selector fallback chains (`.or()` with generic CSS selectors)
+- **TV runner**: 76/76 passed — no testID coverage issues (focus navigation doesn't need them)
+
+The QA pipeline itself works. What's missing is the component-side test hook contract.
+
+## Requirements Trace
+
+- R1. Mobile tab bar gets testIDs for each tab (tab-home, tab-discover, tab-library, tab-profile)
+- R2. Mobile header buttons, search input, video controls, carousel items, cards, and modal controls get testIDs matching Maestro flow references
+- R3. Web app equivalents get `data-testid` attributes matching Playwright flow references
+- R4. After testID additions, `/qa` pipeline achieves ≥95% pass rate across all 5 surfaces for a representative change
+- R5. Implementation does not change any user-visible behavior — testIDs are pure test infrastructure hooks
+
+## Scope Boundaries
+
+- No component logic changes, styling changes, or refactors
+- No new flows — existing flows stay as-is, only the component attributes change
+- Does not fix the Playwright `waitForTimeout` anti-pattern flagged in code review — that's a separate test-authoring concern
+- Does not add testIDs for elements not referenced by existing flows
+
+### Deferred to Separate Tasks
+
+- Playwright `waitForTimeout` → `waitForSelector`/`expect` migration: separate PR focused on test reliability
+- Additional Maestro/Playwright flows for coverage gaps: add incrementally as features ship
+- Fragile `.or()` fallback selector cleanup: fold into the `waitForTimeout` PR since both are test-quality work
+
+## Context & Research
+
+### Relevant Code and Patterns
+
+**Mobile:**
+
+- `apps/mobile/app/(tabs)/_layout.tsx` — tab bar configuration (needs tab-home/discover/library/profile testIDs)
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/HomeHeader.tsx` — search + profile buttons (header-search, header-profile)
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/CuratedHomeLayout.tsx` — hero mute button (mute-button)
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoHeroRenderer.tsx` — hero CTA (hero-cta)
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoCardRenderer.tsx` — video-card-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoCarouselRenderer.tsx` — video-carousel-card-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/MediaCollectionRenderer.tsx` — media-collection-item-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/NavigationCarouselRenderer.tsx` — nav-carousel-item-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/BibleQuotesCarouselRenderer.tsx` — share-quote, quote-cta
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/RelatedQuestionsRenderer.tsx` — accordion-question-{N}, accordion-cta
+- `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/QuizButtonRenderer.tsx` — quiz-button, modal-close
+- `apps/mobile/src/screens/SearchScreen.tsx` (DiscoverScreen) — search-input, search-result-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/screens/LibraryScreen.tsx` — experience-card-{N}
+- `apps/mobile/src/screens/VideoDetailScreen.tsx` — video-thumbnail, share-button, back-button
+- `apps/mobile/src/screens/CollectionPlayerScreen.tsx` — playlist-item-{N}, collection-card-{N}
+
+**Web:**
+
+- `apps/web/src/app/layout.tsx` or header component — logo + search toggle
+- `apps/web/src/components/SearchOverlay.tsx` — search-close, search-input, long-query handling
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/VideoHero.tsx` — hero, hero-cta, hero-heading, hero-mute
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/CarouselVideoPlayer.tsx` — carousel-thumbnail
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/MediaCollection.tsx` — media-collection, media-collection-item, collection-size
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/NavigationCarousel.tsx` — nav-carousel, nav-carousel-item
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/BibleQuotesCarousel.tsx` — bible-quotes, quote-cta, resource-cta
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/RelatedQuestions.tsx` — accordion-trigger, accordion-cta
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/AdventCountdown.tsx` — advent-days, advent-toggle
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/EasterDates.tsx` — easter-toggle
+- `apps/web/src/components/sections/QuizButton.tsx` — quiz-button, modal-close
+- `apps/web/src/lib/content.ts` section error handling — error-block, null-block
+
+### Flow Reference Source
+
+Complete testID list extracted from flows:
+
+```bash
+# Mobile (27 unique testIDs)
+grep -rhoE 'id: "[^"]+"' apps/mobile/.maestro/ | sort -u
+
+# Web (20+ unique data-testids, mixed with fallback CSS selectors)
+grep -rhoE 'data-testid="[^"]+"' apps/web/e2e/flows/ | sort -u
+```
+
+### Institutional Learnings
+
+- **`testID` vs `accessibilityLabel` in React Native** (per React Native docs): `testID` is the correct attribute for e2e test hooks. `accessibilityLabel` serves a different purpose (screen readers) and should not be overloaded for testing.
+- **`data-testid` convention** for Next.js: Use `data-testid` attribute directly on DOM elements; Playwright's `getByTestId()` method uses this by default.
+- **Pattern from `apps/mobile`**: existing accessibility labels are already present on many interactive elements — testIDs should be added alongside, not replacing them.
+
+## Key Technical Decisions
+
+- **Use `testID` prop on React Native, `data-testid` attribute on web**: Standard platform conventions. No custom wrappers needed.
+- **Indexed testIDs for list items**: `{base}-{index}` pattern (e.g., `video-card-0`, `experience-card-1`). Maestro flows already reference index 0; supporting more indices is automatic via the mapping.
+- **Parallel structure across platforms**: Same testID semantics for web and mobile where the component exists on both (e.g., both have `quiz-button`, `modal-close`). Makes cross-platform debugging easier.
+- **No test utility helpers**: Adding raw attributes is simpler than introducing a wrapper component or hook. The 50-ish touches are mechanical and don't need abstraction.
+- **Verify via pipeline re-run, not manual testing**: The `/qa` skill is the verification tool. Running it after each layer reveals remaining gaps quickly.
+
+## Open Questions
+
+### Resolved During Planning
+
+- **Should we use a shared testID constants file?**: No — flows reference string literals in YAML/spec files. A TS constants file wouldn't remove the duplication on the test side. Keep as inline strings.
+- **Should indexed testIDs include total count for bounds safety?**: No — Maestro and Playwright both tolerate missing testIDs gracefully when `optional: true` is used. For required taps, we rely on "index 0 always exists if the list renders."
+
+### Deferred to Implementation
+
+- **Exact element placement for hero-mute testID**: The mute button is conditionally rendered based on video state; implementer should confirm it's always mounted (with a hidden state) vs conditionally inserted.
+- **Whether AdventCountdown toggle needs both `advent-toggle` and `advent-days` testIDs on the same element or on different children**: depends on component structure, resolve when editing.
+
+## Implementation Units
+
+- [ ] **Unit 1: Add testIDs to mobile React Native components**
+
+**Goal:** Add `testID` prop to all mobile components referenced by Maestro flows, matching the 27 unique testIDs extracted from `apps/mobile/.maestro/`.
+
+**Requirements:** R1, R2, R5
+
+**Dependencies:** None
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/app/(tabs)/_layout.tsx` — add testID prop to each Tab.Screen's tabBarButton (tab-home, tab-discover, tab-library, tab-profile)
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/HomeHeader.tsx` — header-search, header-profile on respective Pressables
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/CuratedHomeLayout.tsx` — mute-button on hero mute Pressable
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoHeroRenderer.tsx` — hero-cta on CTA button
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoCardRenderer.tsx` — video-card-${index} passed via prop
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/VideoCarouselRenderer.tsx` — video-carousel-card-${index} on FlatList item Pressable
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/MediaCollectionRenderer.tsx` — media-collection-item-${index}
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/NavigationCarouselRenderer.tsx` — nav-carousel-item-${index}
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/BibleQuotesCarouselRenderer.tsx` — share-quote on share button, quote-cta on CTA
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/RelatedQuestionsRenderer.tsx` — accordion-question-${index} on each row, accordion-cta on header button
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/components/sections/QuizButtonRenderer.tsx` — quiz-button on button, modal-close on modal close button
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/screens/SearchScreen.tsx` (Discover) — search-input on TextInput, search-result-${index} on result cards
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/screens/LibraryScreen.tsx` — experience-card-${index} on FlashList item
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/screens/VideoDetailScreen.tsx` — video-thumbnail on overlay thumbnail, share-button on header share, back-button on header back
+- Modify: `apps/mobile/src/screens/CollectionPlayerScreen.tsx` — playlist-item-${index}, collection-card-${index}
+
+**Approach:**
+
+- Add `testID` as an explicit prop on each Pressable/TouchableOpacity/TextInput. Do not alter component structure or styling.
+- For indexed testIDs, use template literal: `testID={`video-card-${index}`}`.
+- Preserve existing `accessibilityLabel` props — do not replace them.
+- Run `pnpm --filter @forge/mobile run typecheck` after each file edit to catch typos.
+
+**Test scenarios:**
+
+- Happy path: `maestro test apps/mobile/.maestro/tab-navigation.yaml` passes on iOS Simulator after this unit — tab-home, tab-discover, tab-library, tab-profile all found
+- Happy path: Full iOS Maestro suite (`maestro test apps/mobile/.maestro/`) improves from 29/49 to ≥47/49 passing
+- Happy path: Same suite on Android emulator improves to same level
+- Edge case: `search-result-0` found when search returns at least 1 result; flow reports element-not-found gracefully when results are empty (existing flow handles this with `optional: true` or equivalent)
+- Integration: Existing app behavior unchanged — smoke test home screen renders, tabs navigate correctly, video plays, no visual regressions
+
+**Verification:**
+
+- `maestro test apps/mobile/.maestro/` on iOS Simulator: ≥47/49 flows pass
+- `maestro test apps/mobile/.maestro/` on Android emulator: ≥47/49 flows pass
+- Any remaining 1-2 failures are non-testID issues (e.g., CMS data unavailable, rate limiting) and documented
+
+---
+
+- [ ] **Unit 2: Add data-testid attributes to web Next.js components**
+
+**Goal:** Add `data-testid` attribute to all web components referenced by Playwright flows, matching the ~20 unique data-testids extracted from `apps/web/e2e/flows/`.
+
+**Requirements:** R3, R5
+
+**Dependencies:** None (can run in parallel with Unit 1)
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Modify: site header component (locate via `apps/web/src/app/layout.tsx` or header component) — data-testid="logo" on logo link, data-testid="search-toggle" on search button
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/SearchOverlay.tsx` — data-testid="search-close" on close button
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/VideoHero.tsx` — data-testid="hero", data-testid="hero-heading", data-testid="hero-cta" on respective elements, data-testid="hero-mute" on mute button
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/CarouselVideoPlayer.tsx` — data-testid="carousel-thumbnail" on each thumbnail
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/MediaCollection.tsx` — data-testid="media-collection" on wrapper, data-testid="media-collection-item" on each item, data-testid="collection-size" on badge
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/NavigationCarousel.tsx` — data-testid="nav-carousel", data-testid="nav-carousel-item" on each item
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/BibleQuotesCarousel.tsx` — data-testid="bible-quotes" on wrapper, data-testid="quote-cta" on quote CTA, data-testid="resource-cta" on resource card CTA
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/RelatedQuestions.tsx` — data-testid="accordion-trigger" on each question button, data-testid="accordion-cta" on header CTA
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/AdventCountdown.tsx` — data-testid="advent-toggle" on toggle button, data-testid="advent-days" on days count span
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/EasterDates.tsx` — data-testid="easter-toggle" on toggle button
+- Modify: `apps/web/src/components/sections/QuizButton.tsx` — data-testid="quiz-button" on button, data-testid="modal-close" on modal close
+- Modify: section error fallbacks (likely in `apps/web/src/lib/content.ts` or SectionDispatcher) — data-testid="error-block" on error section, data-testid="null-block" on null fallback
+
+**Approach:**
+
+- Add `data-testid` attribute directly in JSX. For server components, add as a plain HTML attribute. For client components, same pattern — React passes `data-*` through.
+- Prefer adding to the outermost interactive element (button, link, input). For wrappers, add to the top-level `<section>` or `<div>`.
+- Run `pnpm --filter @forge/web run typecheck` and `pnpm --filter @forge/web run lint` after edits.
+
+**Test scenarios:**
+
+- Happy path: `pnpm --filter @forge/web run e2e` improves from 190/200 to ≥198/200 passing against dev server with CMS running
+- Happy path: Each affected flow file's screenshot captures show the intended UI (e.g., search overlay opens and captures, not a blank page)
+- Edge case: Pages that conditionally render sections (no CMS data, missing fields) don't crash when `data-testid` is present — the attribute is inert when the element doesn't render
+- Integration: No visual regression — add a sample page load test before and after to verify identical DOM (ignoring the new data-testid attributes)
+
+**Verification:**
+
+- `pnpm --filter @forge/web run e2e` with CMS running: ≥198/200 flows pass
+- Any remaining 1-2 failures are non-testid issues (e.g., timing, CMS data shape) and documented
+
+---
+
+- [ ] **Unit 3: Run full QA pipeline verification and document results**
+
+**Goal:** Verify the testID additions unblock the previously failing flows by running the complete `/qa` pipeline and updating the QA solution doc with the achieved pass rate.
+
+**Requirements:** R4
+
+**Dependencies:** Unit 1, Unit 2
+
+**Files:**
+
+- Create: `docs/solutions/platform/local-qa-pipeline-first-runs-20260417.md` — capture what passed/failed, time to complete, known remaining issues, and operational notes (e.g., Android mobile needs phone emulator, iOS mobile needs correct Metro bundler on 8081)
+
+**Approach:**
+
+- Make a small cross-cutting change (e.g., edit a shared typography constant used by all 3 apps) to trigger full-pipeline execution.
+- Invoke `/qa` in a Claude Code session. The skill will analyze the diff, run Layers 1-4, and report per-surface results.
+- Record the pass/fail counts per surface and total pipeline duration.
+- Document any surface-specific prerequisites encountered (e.g., "tvOS requires AppleScript accessibility permission", "Android mobile needs phone emulator distinct from Android TV emulator").
+
+**Test scenarios:**
+
+- Happy path: `/qa` produces verdict "Ready with fixes" or "Ready to merge" with ≥95% total pass rate
+- Edge case: Document what happens if CMS is down (expected: warning + flows skip or screenshot error states)
+- Edge case: Document what happens if only one simulator pair is booted (expected: pipeline skips unaffected platforms and warns)
+- Integration: The solution doc is discoverable via `compound-engineering:research:learnings-researcher` search — verify by querying "QA pipeline" or "Maestro testIDs"
+
+**Verification:**
+
+- Solution doc exists at `docs/solutions/platform/local-qa-pipeline-first-runs-20260417.md` with frontmatter, pass-rate summary, and lessons learned
+- Pass rate across all 5 surfaces documented with actual numbers
+
+## System-Wide Impact
+
+- **Interaction graph:** None — `testID` and `data-testid` are pure metadata. No React render cycles, no state, no event handlers affected.
+- **Error propagation:** None — inert attributes that do not throw.
+- **State lifecycle risks:** None — does not touch component state, context, or side effects.
+- **API surface parity:** Mobile and web share several testID names (quiz-button, modal-close, mute-button) — maintaining parity helps future cross-platform debugging.
+- **Integration coverage:** The `/qa` pipeline itself is the integration check. If a testID is added but the flow still fails, the failure is informative (element is hidden, obscured, or in a different component).
+- **Unchanged invariants:** No user-visible behavior changes. Component props, render output, styling, accessibility labels, and event handlers all remain identical.

+# Local QA Pipeline — First Real Runs and testID Coverage Gap
+
+## Problem
+
+The cross-platform local QA pipeline (PR #795 — `/qa` Claude Code skill with Playwright for web, Maestro for mobile, and a custom YAML runner for TV) was stood up with comprehensive flow coverage (~135 flows, ~750 scenarios). On the first real end-to-end run, 30 flows failed.
+
+Every mobile flow failure reported the same root cause: `Element not found: Id matching regex: tab-discover|tab-home|tab-library|tab-profile`. Every web flow failure traced to fragile `.or()` CSS selector fallbacks that couldn't find elements without a canonical hook.
+
+## Solution
+
+Add `testID` props to React Native components and `data-testid` attributes to Next.js components — matching the test-hook names already referenced by the Maestro flows and Playwright specs.
+
+Two parallel commits (no file overlap):
+
+- Mobile: `apps/mobile/` — 27 testID references covering tab bar, headers, search, cards, carousels, video controls, accordions, quiz, share, modals, playlists
+- Web: `apps/web/src/` — 20+ data-testid attributes with parallel names where the component exists on both platforms (quiz-button, modal-close, mute-button, etc.)
+
+Pure metadata additions — no component logic, styling, or user-visible behavior changed.
+
+## Lessons Learned
+
+1. **Flow authoring and testID coverage must ship together.** Authoring flows that reference testIDs without landing the corresponding component attributes guarantees flow failures on first run. Unblocking is easy (30 mechanical attribute additions), but delaying creates a false signal that the pipeline itself is broken.
+
+2. **Maestro YAML syntax pitfalls surface only on first real run.** Invalid commands that were committed and passed through code review:
+   - `wait: { milliseconds: N }` is not a command — use `waitForAnimationToEnd`
+   - `scroll: { direction: DOWN, duration: N }` is invalid — plain `scroll` defaults to down, or use `swipe: { direction: ... }`
+   - `clearText` is not a command — use `eraseText`
+
+   Fix committed in `fix(qa): correct Maestro YAML syntax across all mobile flows`. Consider adding a Maestro YAML lint step before the QA pipeline runs flows.
+
+3. **Android TV `monkey` returns exit code 251 even on success.** The custom TV YAML runner's initial Android TV adapter used `monkey -p {bundleId} -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1` to launch apps. `monkey` returns 251 when it succeeds (a known Android quirk), which `execSync` treats as failure. Switched to `am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LEANBACK_LAUNCHER -n {bundleId}/.MainActivity`. Now 38/38 Android TV flows pass.
+
+4. **Bundle IDs in tests must match app.json exactly.** Initial flows referenced `com.jesusfilm.forge` (mobile) and `com.jesusfilm.forge.tv` (TV). Actual IDs per app.json are `org.jesusfilm.forgewatch` (mobile) and `org.jesusfilm.forgetv` (TV). A pre-flight step in the QA skill that cross-checks `appId` in flows against app.json would catch this before runtime.
+
+5. **Playwright's `webServer` config forces spawn even with `reuseExistingServer: true`.** When the dev server is already running, Playwright tries to start its own and errors on port conflict. Fix: make `webServer` opt-out via env var (`PW_SKIP_WEBSERVER=1`) for local dev where the server is already up.
+
+6. **Mobile Metro port conflicts are real in a monorepo.** With multiple worktrees each potentially running their own Metro bundler, the mobile app on iPhone simulator connected to the wrong bundler (a TV Metro on port 8081 from an unrelated worktree) and rendered as the TV app. Fix: kill stray Metro processes before starting the mobile dev server, or configure explicit ports per app.

+7. **Android phone vs. Android TV emulators require separate setup.** `expo run:android` auto-selected the Android TV emulator for the mobile build even with `ANDROID_SERIAL=emulator-5556` set. Workaround: build the APK with `expo run:android`, then install manually with `adb -s emulator-5556 install <apk>`. Document the two-emulator setup as a prerequisite.
+
+8. **tvOS AppleScript keystroke injection requires macOS Accessibility permission and exclusive foreground.** Granting Terminal (or iTerm) Accessibility access in System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility is a one-time setup. tvOS flows cannot run in parallel with other keyboard-interactive tasks because `AXRaise` + `key code` send keystrokes to the frontmost window.
+
+9. **TV app `exclude: ["e2e/**"]`in tsconfig is required.** The TV YAML runner (Node.js script, uses`node:child_process`, `node:fs`) was picking up React Native type resolution, which doesn't include Node.js types. Excluding `e2e/\*\*`from the app's tsconfig lets the runner type-check correctly via`tsx` runtime.

+## First-Run Pass Rates (Before testID Fix)
+
+| Surface                    | Flows         | Passed        | Failed       | Duration           |
+| -------------------------- | ------------- | ------------- | ------------ | ------------------ |
+| Web (Playwright)           | 200 scenarios | 190           | 10           | 7.1 min            |
+| iOS Mobile (Maestro)       | 49            | 29            | 20           | ~15 min            |
+| Android Mobile (Maestro)   | 49            | 29            | 20           | ~15 min            |
+| tvOS (custom runner)       | 38            | 38            | 0            | 6.7 min            |
+| Android TV (custom runner) | 38            | 38            | 0            | 5.2 min            |
+| **Total**                  | **374**       | **324 (87%)** | **50 (13%)** | ~50 min sequential |
+
+After testID coverage lands, mobile and web failures should drop dramatically — targeting ≥95% total pass rate.

+## Pipeline Operational Prerequisites
+
+Before invoking `/qa` for the first time, verify:
+
+```bash
+# Tools
+brew install maestro
+npx playwright install chromium
+
+# Env vars (persist in ~/.zshrc)
+export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
+export PATH="$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$HOME/.maestro/bin"
+
+# macOS Accessibility permission for osascript (tvOS flows)
+# System Settings > Privacy & Security > Accessibility > [add Terminal]
+
+# Simulators installed
+xcrun simctl list devices available     # iPhone, Apple TV
+$ANDROID_HOME/emulator/emulator -list-avds   # Phone + Android TV AVDs
+
+# Apps built and installed per surface
+#   iOS mobile: EXPO_TV=0 npx expo run:ios (in apps/mobile/)
+#   iOS TV:     EXPO_TV=1 npx expo run:ios (in apps/tv/)
+#   Android mobile: build APK, install on phone emulator with adb -s <emulator>
+#   Android TV: install on Android TV emulator
+
+# CMS running locally (or staging URL in .env.local)
+pnpm --filter @forge/cms run dev
+```
