+# End-to-end browser tests
+
+Playwright, driving the portal and the backoffice in a real browser against a
+real API and a real database.
+
+```bash
+# from emaui/
+npx nx e2e @ema-platform/e2e            # or: npx playwright test --config apps/e2e/playwright.config.ts
+npx playwright test --config apps/e2e/playwright.config.ts --headed --debug
+npx playwright show-report ../../dist/e2e-report
+```
+
+## What it runs against
+
+Nothing shared with your own dev stack. The suite starts its own servers, on its
+own ports, against its own database:
+
+| | port | notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| API | 3011 | `node dist/main.js` with explicit env |
+| Portal | 4302 | `vite build --mode e2e` then `vite preview` |
+| Backoffice | 4303 | same |
+| Database | — | `ema_e2e` |
+
+This is deliberate. A developer's stack is usually already up on 3000/4200/4201,
+and `dev/start.sh` **rewrites** `emaapi/apps/server/emaapi/.env` and the apps'
+`.env.local` on every run — a suite that read those files would point at
+whichever stack was started last. The API is launched with `DATABASE_NAME`,
+`PORT` and the payment flags passed directly, and the frontends are built with
+`--mode e2e`, which picks up `apps/*/.env.e2e.local` (higher precedence than
+`.env.local`, so your own config is left alone).
+
+`vite preview` on a production build rather than `nx serve`, because Nx
+serialises `serve` targets per project: with your dev portal already running,
+a second `nx serve @ema-platform/portal` waits forever on the first.
+
+### First-time setup
+
+The E2E database has to exist and be bootstrapped once:
+
+```bash
+DB_NAME=ema_e2e ./dev/start.sh      # creates it, migrates, seeds, then starts a stack you can Ctrl-C
+```
+
+Afterwards the suite manages its own servers; you do not need `start.sh` again.
+Note that this run leaves the shared `.env` files pointing at the E2E database
+and its ports — rerun `./dev/start.sh` plain to put them back.
+
+## How it gets its data
+
+- **Accounts are created through the UI.** Every spec signs up its own applicant
+  with a timestamped email, and deletes it in `afterEach` (`deleteApplicant`).
+  Nothing is shared between specs, so specs can run in any order and the second
+  run of the suite behaves exactly like the first.
+- **The one-time code is scraped from the API log.** There is no local SMS
+  gateway, `iam.user_verifications.verification_code` is argon2-**hashed**, and
+  the notification rows it is delivered through carry an empty body — the log
+  line is the only plaintext. The API is therefore started with its output teed
+  to `/tmp/ema-e2e-api.log`, and `support/api-log.ts` reads codes written after
+  a recorded offset. The test still types the real code into the real screen.
+  Because the log line names no recipient, matching is by position, which is
+  sound only while the suite runs single-worker — hence `workers: 1`.
+- **Database reads use `psql`**, shelled out from `support/db.ts`, rather than
+  adding a `pg` dependency to the frontend workspace for the sake of a few
+  assertions.
+
+## Conventions
+
+- One worker, serial. The officer queue is global state and the log-offset trick
+  needs ordering; determinism is worth the wall-clock.
+- Assertions are on what the user sees — headings, badges, buttons — with
+  database checks only where the point is that something was *persisted*.
+- No `waitForTimeout`. Wait for a condition.
+- Traces, screenshots and video are retained for failures only.
+
+## Debugging a failure
+
+Playwright writes `test-results/<test>/error-context.md` with a full
+accessibility snapshot of the page at the moment it failed — usually enough on
+its own. Otherwise `npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test>/trace.zip`.
+
+## Status
+
+Implemented: signup → OTP → operations gate → dashboard, and the empty-state
+dashboard. See the parent prompt (`dev/prompts/e2e-browser-tests-prompt.md`) for
+the flows still to be written: catalogue filtering, the full application
+lifecycle per licence type, officer review, payment bypass, certificate
+download, expiry, renewal and reminders.
