# =============================================================================
# Playwright Tests — functional + pixel-by-pixel visual regression.
#
# BASELINE STRATEGY (macOS dev vs. Linux CI):
# Rendering differs between operating systems, so visual baselines are
# platform-suffixed (see `snapshotPathTemplate` in playwright.config.ts:
# `...-{projectName}-{platform}{ext}`). Locally on macOS you generate
# `-darwin` snapshots; they are NOT the source of truth for CI.
#
# The authoritative `-linux` baselines are committed by humans. CI must not
# write back to `main`:
# * push to main / pull_request -> strict compare against committed Linux
# baselines; a real visual diff fails the build.
# * manual dispatch with `update_snapshots=true` -> generate Linux baselines
# in the official Playwright container and upload them as an artifact only.
#
# The container image is pinned to the installed @playwright/test version
# (1.61.1) so the browser binaries and the test runner stay in lockstep.
