fix(alerts-downtime): capture load-time GETs before navigation

Flow 1 registered cap.mark() AFTER page.goto() and then called
page.waitForResponse(/api/v2/rules) — but against a fast local backend
the GET /api/v2/rules response arrived during page.goto, before the
waiter could register, and the test timed out at 30s.

installCapture's page.on('response') listener runs from before the
navigation, so moving mark() above page.goto() and relying on
dumpSince's 500ms drain is enough. No lost precision.

One site only; the same pattern exists in later flows (via per-action
waitForResponse) and may surface similar races — those are left for a
follow-up once the backend-side 2095 migration lands on main (current
frontend still calls PATCH /api/v1/rules/:id which the spec's assertion
doesn't match anyway).

+
+You are the Playwright Test Healer, an expert test automation engineer specializing in debugging and
+resolving Playwright test failures. Your mission is to systematically identify, diagnose, and fix
+broken Playwright tests using a methodical approach.
+
+Your workflow:
+1. **Initial Execution**: Run all tests using playwright_test_run_test tool to identify failing tests
+2. **Debug failed tests**: For each failing test run playwright_test_debug_test.
+3. **Error Investigation**: When the test pauses on errors, use available Playwright MCP tools to:
+   - Examine the error details
+   - Capture page snapshot to understand the context
+   - Analyze selectors, timing issues, or assertion failures
+4. **Root Cause Analysis**: Determine the underlying cause of the failure by examining:
+   - Element selectors that may have changed
+   - Timing and synchronization issues
+   - Data dependencies or test environment problems
+   - Application changes that broke test assumptions
+5. **Code Remediation**: Edit the test code to address identified issues, focusing on:
+   - Updating selectors to match current application state
+   - Fixing assertions and expected values
+   - Improving test reliability and maintainability
+   - For inherently dynamic data, utilize regular expressions to produce resilient locators
+6. **Verification**: Restart the test after each fix to validate the changes
+7. **Iteration**: Repeat the investigation and fixing process until the test passes cleanly
+
+Key principles:
+- Be systematic and thorough in your debugging approach
+- Document your findings and reasoning for each fix
+- Prefer robust, maintainable solutions over quick hacks
+- Use Playwright best practices for reliable test automation
+- If multiple errors exist, fix them one at a time and retest
+- Provide clear explanations of what was broken and how you fixed it
+- You will continue this process until the test runs successfully without any failures or errors.
+- If the error persists and you have high level of confidence that the test is correct, mark this test as test.fixme()
+  so that it is skipped during the execution. Add a comment before the failing step explaining what is happening instead
+  of the expected behavior.
+- Do not ask user questions, you are not interactive tool, do the most reasonable thing possible to pass the test.
+- Never wait for networkidle or use other discouraged or deprecated apis

+You are an expert web test planner with extensive experience in quality assurance, user experience testing, and test
+scenario design. Your expertise includes functional testing, edge case identification, and comprehensive test coverage
+planning.
+
+You will:
+
+1. **Inspect Source Component Structure**
+   - For the feature under test, fetch the relevant source files from `https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/` to understand the component hierarchy, props, state, and any conditional rendering paths
+   - Use `WebFetch` to retrieve raw file contents from GitHub (e.g. `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SigNoz/signoz/main/frontend/src/pages/<Feature>/index.tsx`)
+   - Browse the directory listing at `https://github.com/SigNoz/signoz/tree/main/frontend/src/` to discover the correct paths if uncertain
+   - Identify all interactive sub-components, loading/error states, permission guards, and feature flags exposed in the source — these reveal test scenarios not always visible from the UI alone
+
+2. **Navigate and Explore**
+   - Invoke the `planner_setup_page` tool once to set up page before using any other tools
+   - Explore the browser snapshot
+   - Do not take screenshots unless absolutely necessary
+   - Use browser_* tools to navigate and discover interface
+   - Thoroughly explore the interface, identifying all interactive elements, forms, navigation paths, and functionality
+
+3. **Analyze User Flows**
+   - Map out the primary user journeys and identify critical paths through the application
+   - Consider different user types and their typical behaviors
+
+4. **Design Comprehensive Scenarios**
+
+   Create detailed test scenarios that cover:
+   - Happy path scenarios (normal user behavior)
+   - Edge cases and boundary conditions
+   - Error handling and validation
+
+5. **Structure Test Plans**
+
+   Each scenario must include:
+   - Clear, descriptive title
+   - Detailed step-by-step instructions
+   - Expected outcomes where appropriate
+   - Assumptions about starting state (always assume blank/fresh state)
+   - Success criteria and failure conditions
+
+6. **Create Documentation**
+
+   Save your test plan as requested:
+   - Executive summary of the tested page/application
+   - Individual scenarios as separate sections
+   - Each scenario formatted with numbered steps
+   - Clear expected results for verification

+# TodoMVC Application - Comprehensive Test Plan
+
+## Application Overview
+
+The TodoMVC application is a React-based todo list manager that provides core task management functionality. The
+application features:
+
+- **Task Management**: Add, edit, complete, and delete individual todos
+- **Bulk Operations**: Mark all todos as complete/incomplete and clear all completed todos
+- **Filtering**: View todos by All, Active, or Completed status
+- **URL Routing**: Support for direct navigation to filtered views via URLs
+- **Counter Display**: Real-time count of active (incomplete) todos
+- **Persistence**: State maintained during session (browser refresh behavior not tested)
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Adding New Todos
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 1.1 Add Valid Todo
+**Steps:**
+1. Click in the "What needs to be done?" input field
+2. Type "Buy groceries"
+3. Press Enter key
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- Todo appears in the list with unchecked checkbox
+- Counter shows "1 item left"
+- Input field is cleared and ready for next entry
+- Todo list controls become visible (Mark all as complete checkbox)
+
+#### 1.2
+...
+</example-spec>
+
+**Quality Standards**:
+- Write steps that are specific enough for any tester to follow
+- Include negative testing scenarios
+- Ensure scenarios are independent and can be run in any order
+
+**Output Format**: Always save the complete test plan as a markdown file with clear headings, numbered steps, and
+professional formatting suitable for sharing with development and QA teams.

+[Snapshot](.playwright-cli/page-2026-02-14T19-22-42-679Z.yml)
+```
+
+You can also take a snapshot on demand using `playwright-cli snapshot` command.
+
+If `--filename` is not provided, a new snapshot file is created with a timestamp. Default to automatic file naming, use `--filename=` when artifact is a part of the workflow result.
+
+## Browser Sessions
+
+```bash
+# create new browser session named "mysession" with persistent profile
+playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --persistent
+# same with manually specified profile directory (use when requested explicitly)
+playwright-cli -s=mysession open example.com --profile=/path/to/profile
+playwright-cli -s=mysession click e6
+playwright-cli -s=mysession close  # stop a named browser
+playwright-cli -s=mysession delete-data  # delete user data for persistent session
+
+playwright-cli list
+# Close all browsers
+playwright-cli close-all
+# Forcefully kill all browser processes
+playwright-cli kill-all
+```
+
+## Local installation
+
+In some cases user might want to install playwright-cli locally. If running globally available `playwright-cli` binary fails, use `npx playwright-cli` to run the commands. For example:
+
+```bash
+npx playwright-cli open https://example.com
+npx playwright-cli click e1
+```
+
+## Example: Form submission
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com/form
+playwright-cli snapshot
+
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+playwright-cli click e3
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+## Example: Multi-tab workflow
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli tab-new https://example.com/other
+playwright-cli tab-list
+playwright-cli tab-select 0
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+## Example: Debugging with DevTools
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli click e4
+playwright-cli fill e7 "test"
+playwright-cli console
+playwright-cli network
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli click e4
+playwright-cli fill e7 "test"
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+playwright-cli close

+# Request Mocking
+
+Intercept, mock, modify, and block network requests.
+
+## CLI Route Commands
+
+```bash
+# Mock with custom status
+playwright-cli route "**/*.jpg" --status=404
+
+# Mock with JSON body
+playwright-cli route "**/api/users" --body='[{"id":1,"name":"Alice"}]' --content-type=application/json
+
+# Mock with custom headers
+playwright-cli route "**/api/data" --body='{"ok":true}' --header="X-Custom: value"
+
+# Remove headers from requests
+playwright-cli route "**/*" --remove-header=cookie,authorization
+
+# List active routes
+playwright-cli route-list
+
+# Remove a route or all routes
+playwright-cli unroute "**/*.jpg"
+playwright-cli unroute
+```
+
+## URL Patterns
+
+```
+**/api/users           - Exact path match
+**/api/*/details       - Wildcard in path
+**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg}    - Match file extensions
+**/search?q=*          - Match query parameters
+```
+
+## Advanced Mocking with run-code
+
+For conditional responses, request body inspection, response modification, or delays:
+
+### Conditional Response Based on Request
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/login', route => {
+    const body = route.request().postDataJSON();
+    if (body.username === 'admin') {
+      route.fulfill({ body: JSON.stringify({ token: 'mock-token' }) });
+    } else {
+      route.fulfill({ status: 401, body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Invalid' }) });
+    }
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Modify Real Response
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/user', async route => {
+    const response = await route.fetch();
+    const json = await response.json();
+    json.isPremium = true;
+    await route.fulfill({ response, json });
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Simulate Network Failures
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/offline', route => route.abort('internetdisconnected'));
+}"
+# Options: connectionrefused, timedout, connectionreset, internetdisconnected
+```
+
+### Delayed Response
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.route('**/api/slow', async route => {
+    await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 3000));
+    route.fulfill({ body: JSON.stringify({ data: 'loaded' }) });
+  });

+# Running Custom Playwright Code
+
+Use `run-code` to execute arbitrary Playwright code for advanced scenarios not covered by CLI commands.
+
+## Syntax
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  // Your Playwright code here
+  // Access page.context() for browser context operations
+}"
+```
+
+## Geolocation
+
+```bash
+# Grant geolocation permission and set location
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['geolocation']);
+  await page.context().setGeolocation({ latitude: 37.7749, longitude: -122.4194 });

+}"
+
+# Wait for function to return true
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForFunction(() => window.appReady === true);
+}"
+
+# Wait with timeout
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.waitForSelector('.result', { timeout: 10000 });
+}"
+```
+
+## Frames and Iframes
+
+```bash
+# Work with iframe

+```
+
+## Clipboard
+
+```bash
+# Read clipboard (requires permission)
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().grantPermissions(['clipboard-read']);
+  return await page.evaluate(() => navigator.clipboard.readText());
+}"
+
+# Write to clipboard
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(text => navigator.clipboard.writeText(text), 'Hello clipboard!');
+}"
+```
+
+## Page Information
+
+```bash
+# Get page title
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.title();
+}"
+
+# Get current URL
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return page.url();
+}"
+
+# Get page content
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.content();
+}"
+
+# Get viewport size
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return page.viewportSize();
+}"
+```
+
+## JavaScript Execution
+
+```bash
+# Execute JavaScript and return result
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.evaluate(() => {
+    return {
+      userAgent: navigator.userAgent,

+# Browser Session Management
+
+Run multiple isolated browser sessions concurrently with state persistence.
+
+## Named Browser Sessions
+
+Use `-s` flag to isolate browser contexts:
+
+```bash
+# Browser 1: Authentication flow
+playwright-cli -s=auth open https://app.example.com/login
+
+# Browser 2: Public browsing (separate cookies, storage)
+playwright-cli -s=public open https://example.com
+
+# Commands are isolated by browser session
+playwright-cli -s=auth fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli -s=public snapshot
+```
+
+## Browser Session Isolation Properties
+
+Each browser session has independent:
+- Cookies
+- LocalStorage / SessionStorage
+- IndexedDB
+- Cache
+- Browsing history
+- Open tabs
+
+## Browser Session Commands
+
+```bash
+# List all browser sessions
+playwright-cli list
+
+# Stop a browser session (close the browser)
+playwright-cli close                # stop the default browser
+playwright-cli -s=mysession close   # stop a named browser
+
+# Stop all browser sessions
+playwright-cli close-all
+
+# Forcefully kill all daemon processes (for stale/zombie processes)
+playwright-cli kill-all
+
+# Delete browser session user data (profile directory)
+playwright-cli delete-data                # delete default browser data
+playwright-cli -s=mysession delete-data   # delete named browser data
+```
+
+## Environment Variable
+
+Set a default browser session name via environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export PLAYWRIGHT_CLI_SESSION="mysession"
+playwright-cli open example.com  # Uses "mysession" automatically
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Concurrent Scraping
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+# Scrape multiple sites concurrently
+
+# Start all browsers
+playwright-cli -s=site1 open https://site1.com &
+playwright-cli -s=site2 open https://site2.com &
+playwright-cli -s=site3 open https://site3.com &
+wait
+
+# Take snapshots from each
+playwright-cli -s=site1 snapshot
+playwright-cli -s=site2 snapshot
+playwright-cli -s=site3 snapshot
+
+# Cleanup
+playwright-cli close-all
+```
+
+### A/B Testing Sessions
+
+```bash
+# Test different user experiences
+playwright-cli -s=variant-a open "https://app.com?variant=a"
+playwright-cli -s=variant-b open "https://app.com?variant=b"
+
+# Compare
+playwright-cli -s=variant-a screenshot
+playwright-cli -s=variant-b screenshot
+```
+
+### Persistent Profile
+
+By default, browser profile is kept in memory only. Use `--persistent` flag on `open` to persist the browser profile to disk:
+
+```bash
+# Use persistent profile (auto-generated location)
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --persistent
+
+# Use persistent profile with custom directory
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --profile=/path/to/profile
+```
+
+## Default Browser Session
+
+When `-s` is omitted, commands use the default browser session:
+
+```bash
+# These use the same default browser session
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli close  # Stops default browser
+```
+
+## Browser Session Configuration
+
+Configure a browser session with specific settings when opening:
+
+```bash
+# Open with config file
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --config=.playwright/my-cli.json
+
+# Open with specific browser
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --browser=firefox
+
+# Open in headed mode
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --headed
+
+# Open with persistent profile
+playwright-cli open https://example.com --persistent
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Name Browser Sessions Semantically
+
+```bash
+# GOOD: Clear purpose
+playwright-cli -s=github-auth open https://github.com
+playwright-cli -s=docs-scrape open https://docs.example.com
+
+# AVOID: Generic names
+playwright-cli -s=s1 open https://github.com
+```
+
+### 2. Always Clean Up
+
+```bash
+# Stop browsers when done
+playwright-cli -s=auth close
+playwright-cli -s=scrape close
+
+# Or stop all at once
+playwright-cli close-all
+
+# If browsers become unresponsive or zombie processes remain
+playwright-cli kill-all
+```
+
+### 3. Delete Stale Browser Data
+
+```bash
+# Remove old browser data to free disk space
+playwright-cli -s=oldsession delete-data
+```

+# Storage Management
+
+Manage cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and browser storage state.
+
+## Storage State
+
+Save and restore complete browser state including cookies and storage.
+
+### Save Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Save to auto-generated filename (storage-state-{timestamp}.json)
+playwright-cli state-save
+
+# Save to specific filename
+playwright-cli state-save my-auth-state.json
+```
+
+### Restore Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Load storage state from file
+playwright-cli state-load my-auth-state.json
+
+# Reload page to apply cookies
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+```
+
+### Storage State File Format
+
+The saved file contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "cookies": [
+    {
+      "name": "session_id",
+      "value": "abc123",
+      "domain": "example.com",
+      "path": "/",
+      "expires": 1735689600,
+      "httpOnly": true,
+      "secure": true,
+      "sameSite": "Lax"
+    }
+  ],
+  "origins": [
+    {
+      "origin": "https://example.com",
+      "localStorage": [
+        { "name": "theme", "value": "dark" },
+        { "name": "user_id", "value": "12345" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Cookies
+
+### List All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Domain
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --domain=example.com
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Path
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --path=/api
+```
+
+### Get Specific Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-get session_id
+```
+
+### Set a Cookie
+
+```bash
+# Basic cookie
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123
+
+# Cookie with options
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123 --domain=example.com --path=/ --httpOnly --secure --sameSite=Lax
+
+# Cookie with expiration (Unix timestamp)
+playwright-cli cookie-set remember_me token123 --expires=1735689600
+```
+
+### Delete a Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-delete session_id
+```
+
+### Clear All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Cookies or Custom Options
+
+For complex scenarios like adding multiple cookies at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().addCookies([
+    { name: 'session_id', value: 'sess_abc123', domain: 'example.com', path: '/', httpOnly: true },
+    { name: 'preferences', value: JSON.stringify({ theme: 'dark' }), domain: 'example.com', path: '/' }
+  ]);
+}"
+```
+
+## Local Storage
+
+### List All localStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-get token
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set theme dark
+```
+
+### Set JSON Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set user_settings '{"theme":"dark","language":"en"}'
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-delete token
+```
+
+### Clear All localStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Operations
+
+For complex scenarios like setting multiple values at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    localStorage.setItem('token', 'jwt_abc123');
+    localStorage.setItem('user_id', '12345');
+    localStorage.setItem('expires_at', Date.now() + 3600000);
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Session Storage
+
+### List All sessionStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-get form_data
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-set step 3
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-delete step
+```
+
+### Clear sessionStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-clear
+```
+
+## IndexedDB
+
+### List Databases
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.evaluate(async () => {
+    const databases = await indexedDB.databases();
+    return databases;
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Delete Database
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    indexedDB.deleteDatabase('myDatabase');
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Authentication State Reuse
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Login and save state
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/login
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+playwright-cli click e3
+
+# Save the authenticated state
+playwright-cli state-save auth.json
+
+# Step 2: Later, restore state and skip login
+playwright-cli state-load auth.json
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/dashboard
+# Already logged in!
+```
+
+### Save and Restore Roundtrip
+
+```bash
+# Set up authentication state
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli eval "() => { document.cookie = 'session=abc123'; localStorage.setItem('user', 'john'); }"
+
+# Save state to file
+playwright-cli state-save my-session.json
+
+# ... later, in a new session ...
+
+# Restore state
+playwright-cli state-load my-session.json
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+# Cookies and localStorage are restored!
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit storage state files containing auth tokens
+- Add `*.auth-state.json` to `.gitignore`
+- Delete state files after automation completes
+- Use environment variables for sensitive data
+- By default, sessions run in-memory mode which is safer for sensitive operations

+# Test Generation
+
+Generate Playwright test code automatically as you interact with the browser.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Every action you perform with `playwright-cli` generates corresponding Playwright TypeScript code.
+This code appears in the output and can be copied directly into your test files.
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Start a session
+playwright-cli open https://example.com/login
+
+# Take a snapshot to see elements
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Output shows: e1 [textbox "Email"], e2 [textbox "Password"], e3 [button "Sign In"]
+
+# Fill form fields - generates code automatically
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+
+playwright-cli click e3
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+```
+
+## Building a Test File
+
+Collect the generated code into a Playwright test:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('login flow', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Generated code from playwright-cli session:
+  await page.goto('https://example.com/login');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+
+  // Add assertions
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Semantic Locators
+
+The generated code uses role-based locators when possible, which are more resilient:
+
+```typescript
+// Generated (good - semantic)
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Avoid (fragile - CSS selectors)
+await page.locator('#submit-btn').click();
+```
+
+### 2. Explore Before Recording
+
+Take snapshots to understand the page structure before recording actions:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Review the element structure
+playwright-cli click e5
+```
+
+### 3. Add Assertions Manually
+
+Generated code captures actions but not assertions. Add expectations in your test:
+
+```typescript
+// Generated action
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Manual assertion
+await expect(page.getByText('Success')).toBeVisible();
+```

+# Tracing
+
+Capture detailed execution traces for debugging and analysis. Traces include DOM snapshots, screenshots, network activity, and console logs.
+
+## Basic Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start trace recording
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+
+# Perform actions
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli click e1
+playwright-cli fill e2 "test"
+
+# Stop trace recording
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+```
+
+## Trace Output Files
+
+When you start tracing, Playwright creates a `traces/` directory with several files:
+
+### `trace-{timestamp}.trace`
+
+**Action log** - The main trace file containing:
+- Every action performed (clicks, fills, navigations)
+- DOM snapshots before and after each action
+- Screenshots at each step
+- Timing information
+- Console messages
+- Source locations
+
+### `trace-{timestamp}.network`
+
+**Network log** - Complete network activity:
+- All HTTP requests and responses
+- Request headers and bodies
+- Response headers and bodies
+- Timing (DNS, connect, TLS, TTFB, download)
+- Resource sizes
+- Failed requests and errors
+
+### `resources/`
+
+**Resources directory** - Cached resources:
+- Images, fonts, stylesheets, scripts
+- Response bodies for replay
+- Assets needed to reconstruct page state
+
+## What Traces Capture
+
+| Category | Details |
+|----------|---------|
+| **Actions** | Clicks, fills, hovers, keyboard input, navigations |
+| **DOM** | Full DOM snapshot before/after each action |
+| **Screenshots** | Visual state at each step |
+| **Network** | All requests, responses, headers, bodies, timing |
+| **Console** | All console.log, warn, error messages |
+| **Timing** | Precise timing for each operation |
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Debugging Failed Actions
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com
+
+# This click fails - why?
+playwright-cli click e5
+
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+# Open trace to see DOM state when click was attempted
+```
+
+### Analyzing Performance
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://slow-site.com
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+
+# View network waterfall to identify slow resources
+```
+
+### Capturing Evidence
+
+```bash
+# Record a complete user flow for documentation
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/checkout
+playwright-cli fill e1 "4111111111111111"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "12/25"
+playwright-cli fill e3 "123"
+playwright-cli click e4
+
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+# Trace shows exact sequence of events
+```
+
+## Trace vs Video vs Screenshot
+
+| Feature | Trace | Video | Screenshot |
+|---------|-------|-------|------------|
+| **Format** | .trace file | .webm video | .png/.jpeg image |
+| **DOM inspection** | Yes | No | No |
+| **Network details** | Yes | No | No |
+| **Step-by-step replay** | Yes | Continuous | Single frame |
+| **File size** | Medium | Large | Small |
+| **Best for** | Debugging | Demos | Quick capture |
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Start Tracing Before the Problem
+
+```bash
+# Trace the entire flow, not just the failing step
+playwright-cli tracing-start
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+# ... all steps leading to the issue ...
+playwright-cli tracing-stop
+```
+
+### 2. Clean Up Old Traces
+
+Traces can consume significant disk space:
+
+```bash
+# Remove traces older than 7 days
+find .playwright-cli/traces -mtime +7 -delete
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Traces add overhead to automation
+- Large traces can consume significant disk space
+- Some dynamic content may not replay perfectly

+
+## Writing Test Plans
+
+### Test Plan Structure
+
+Test plans MUST follow this structure (see `examples/example-test-plan.md`):
+
+```markdown
+# [Feature Name] - Test Plan
+
+## Application Overview
+[Describe the feature/module being tested with key functionality and user flows]
+
+## User Role Permissions (Optional)
+- **@admin**: [Admin capabilities]
+- **@editor**: [Editor capabilities]
+- **@viewer**: [Viewer capabilities]
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. [Main Scenario Category] **[Role Tag]**
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 1.1 [Specific Test Case] **[Role Tag]**
+
+**Pre-conditions:**
+- [List any setup needed]
+
+**Steps:**
+1. [Action step]
+2. [Action step]
+...
+
+**Expected Results:**
+- [Expected outcome]
+- [Expected state]
+...
+
+**Data:** (Optional)
+- Input field: "test value"
+- Select option: "option name"
+
+### 2. [Another Scenario Category]
+...
+
+## Edge Cases
+[Document edge cases and error scenarios]
+
+## Notes
+- [Special considerations]
+- [Known limitations]
+```
+
+### Test Plan Best Practices
+
+1. **Be Specific**: Include exact UI element names, button labels, and navigation paths
+2. **Role-Based**: Tag scenarios with appropriate role tags (@admin, @editor, @viewer)
+3. **Seed Reference**: Always reference `tests/seed.spec.ts` as the seed test
+4. **Data-Driven**: Include specific test data values in the plan
+5. **Comprehensive**: Cover happy paths, edge cases, and error scenarios
+6. **Actionable Steps**: Write steps that can be directly translated to Playwright code
+7. **Expected Results**: Be explicit about what should happen after each action
+
+### Creating Test Plans Manually
+
+1. Use `examples/example-test-plan.md` as template
+2. Explore the feature thoroughly in the application
+3. Document all user flows and interactions
+4. Include metadata (created by, created on, etc.) validation
+5. Consider different user roles and permissions
+6. Document error states and validation messages
+7. Save to `specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md`
+
+### Creating Test Plans with Playwright Agents
+
+```bash
+# Initialize agents first (if not done)
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode
+
+# Use the planner agent
+@🎭 planner @tests/seed.spec.ts
+
+Create a comprehensive test plan for: [feature name]
+Save to: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+```
+
+The planner will:
+- Explore the application using the seed test for context
+- Generate a detailed test plan following the template
+- Include all scenarios, edge cases, and validation checks
+
+## Writing Playwright Tests
+
+### Test File Structure
+
+Every test file MUST follow this structure:
+
+```typescript
+// spec: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+// seed: tests/seed.spec.ts
+
+import { expect, test } from '@playwright/test';
+import { ensureLoggedIn } from '../../utils/login.util';
+
+test.describe('[Feature Name]', () => {
+  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+    // Login to the application
+    await ensureLoggedIn(page);
+
+    // Navigate to the feature (specific to each feature)
+    // Example navigation steps here
+  });
+
+  test(
+    '[Test Name]',
+    {
+      tag: '@viewer', // or @editor, @admin
+    },
+    async ({ page }) => {
+      // Test implementation with numbered comments
+      // 1. [Step description]
+      // 2. [Step description]
+      ...
+    },
+  );
+});
+```
+
+### Test Implementation Best Practices
+
+1. **Always Reference**: Include spec and seed references at the top of the file
+
+2. **Use ensureLoggedIn**: Always use `ensureLoggedIn(page)` for authentication
+   ```typescript
+   await ensureLoggedIn(page);
+   ```
+
+3. **Role-Based Tags**: Tag every test with appropriate role
+   ```typescript
+   test(
+     'Test Name',
+     { tag: '@admin' },  // @admin, @editor, or @viewer
+     async ({ page }) => { ... }
+   );
+   ```
+
+4. **Semantic Locators**: Prefer Playwright's built-in locators (in order of preference):
+   ```typescript
+   // ✅ GOOD
+   page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })
+   page.getByLabel('Email')
+   page.getByPlaceholder('Enter email...')
+   page.getByText('Welcome')
+   page.getByTestId('login-button')
+
+   // ❌ AVOID
+   page.locator('.btn-submit')  // CSS selectors
+   page.locator('#email')       // ID selectors
+   ```
+
+5. **Step Comments**: Add numbered comments matching test plan steps
+   ```typescript
+   // 1. Click "New routing policy" button
+   await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'plus New routing policy' }).click();
+
+   // 2. Fill in routing policy name
+   await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'e.g. Base routing policy...' }).fill('My Policy');
+   ```
+
+6. **Explicit Waits**: Wait for elements to be visible before interacting
+   ```typescript
+   await expect(page.getByRole('dialog', { name: 'Create policy' })).toBeVisible();
+   ```
+
+7. **Assertions**: Use explicit assertions for all validations
+   ```typescript
+   await expect(page.getByText('Success message')).toBeVisible();
+   await expect(field).toHaveValue('expected value');
+   await expect(element).toBeHidden();
+   ```
+
+8. **Unique Test Data**: Use timestamps or unique identifiers for test data
+   ```typescript
+   const uniqueName = `Test Policy ${Date.now()}`;
+   ```
+
+9. **Navigation in beforeEach**: Put common navigation steps in beforeEach
+   ```typescript
+   test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+     await ensureLoggedIn(page);
+     await page.locator('svg.lucide-bell-dot').click();
+     await page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Configuration' }).click();
+   });
+   ```
+
+10. **Handle Async Operations**: Add appropriate waits for async operations
+    ```typescript
+    await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
+    await expect(page.getByText('Saved successfully')).toBeVisible();
+    ```
+
+### Writing Tests Manually
+
+1. Read the test plan in `specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md`
+2. Use `tests/seed.spec.ts` as reference for patterns
+3. Create test file at `tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts`
+4. Implement each scenario from the test plan
+5. Use Playwright codegen for complex interactions: `yarn codegen`
+6. Run tests to verify: `yarn test:ui`
+
+### Writing Tests with Playwright Agents
+
+```bash
+# Use the generator agent
+@🎭 generator @specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md @tests/seed.spec.ts
+
+Generate Playwright tests from the test plan
+Save to: tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts
+```
+
+The generator will:
+- Read the test plan
+- Use seed.spec.ts for patterns and context
+- Generate properly structured test files
+- Use semantic locators and best practices
+- Include proper role tags and assertions
+
+### Fixing Failing Tests with Playwright Agents
+
+```bash
+# Use the healer agent
+@🎭 healer @tests/[feature]/[failing-test].spec.ts
+
+Fix the failing test: [test name]
+Error: [paste error message from test output]
+```
+
+The healer will:
+- Replay the failing steps
+- Update locators if UI elements changed
+- Add proper waits for timing issues
+- Re-run until the test passes
+
+## Locator Strategies
+
+### Priority Order (use in this order):
+
+1. **Role-based** (Preferred): `getByRole(role, { name })`
+2. **Label**: `getByLabel(text)`
+3. **Placeholder**: `getByPlaceholder(text)`
+4. **Text**: `getByText(text)`
+5. **Test ID**: `getByTestId(id)`
+6. **CSS/XPath** (Last Resort): `locator(selector)`
+
+### Common Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Buttons
+page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })
+page.getByRole('button', { name: 'plus New policy' }) // with icon
+
+// Text inputs
+page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' })
+page.getByPlaceholder('Enter email...')
+
+// Dropdowns
+page.locator('.ant-select').click()  // If no semantic alternative
+page.locator('.ant-select-item').first().click()
+
+// Tables
+page.getByRole('table')
+page.getByRole('row')
+page.getByRole('cell')
+
+// Dialogs/Modals
+page.getByRole('dialog', { name: 'Create policy' })
+
+// Tabs
+page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Configuration' })
+
+// Headings
+page.getByRole('heading', { name: 'Dashboard' })
+
+// Links
+page.getByRole('link', { name: 'Learn more' })
+```
+
+## Role-Based Testing
+
+### Role Hierarchy
+
+- **@viewer**: Read-only access (view, search, filter)
+- **@editor**: Create and edit access (all @viewer tests + create/edit)
+- **@admin**: Full access (all @viewer + @editor tests + delete/admin operations)
+
+### Tagging Guidelines
+
+```typescript
+// Viewer tests - read-only operations
+test('View dashboard', { tag: '@viewer' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+test('Search policies', { tag: '@viewer' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+
+// Editor tests - create/edit operations
+test('Create policy', { tag: '@editor' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+test('Edit policy', { tag: '@editor' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+
+// Admin tests - delete/admin operations
+test('Delete policy', { tag: '@admin' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+test('Manage users', { tag: '@admin' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+```
+
+### Running Tests by Role
+
+```bash
+# Set role in .env file
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin    # Runs all tests
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Editor   # Runs @editor and @viewer tests
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Viewer   # Runs @viewer tests only
+
+# Or pass directly
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin yarn test
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+### Required Environment Variables
+
+Create `.env` file with:
+
+```bash
+SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL=https://app.us.staging.signoz.cloud
+SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
+SIGNOZ_E2E_PASSWORD=your-password
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin  # or Editor, Viewer
+```
+
+### Using Environment Variables in Tests
+
+```typescript
+// Already handled in playwright.config.ts
+// baseURL from SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL
+// credentials from SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME and SIGNOZ_E2E_PASSWORD
+```
+
+## Common Patterns & Utilities
+
+### Login Pattern
+
+```typescript
+import { ensureLoggedIn } from '../../utils/login.util';
+
+test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+  await ensureLoggedIn(page);
+});
+```
+
+### Navigation Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Navigate through sidebar
+await page.locator('svg.lucide-bell-dot').click();  // Alerts icon
+await page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Configuration' }).click();
+await page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'Routing Policies' }).click();
+
+// Navigate by URL
+await page.goto('/alerts?tab=Configuration');
+```
+
+### Form Filling Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Fill form fields
+await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Name' }).fill('Test Name');
+await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Description' }).fill('Test Description');
+
+// Select dropdown
+await page.locator('.ant-select').click();
+await page.locator('.ant-select-item').first().click();
+
+// Submit form
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
+```
+
+### Search Pattern
+
+```typescript
+const searchBox = page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Search...' });
+await searchBox.fill('search term');
+await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
+await expect(page.getByText('search term')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+### CRUD Operations Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Create
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'New Item' }).click();
+// ... fill form ...
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
+await expect(page.getByText('Created successfully')).toBeVisible();
+
+// Read/View
+await page.getByText('Item Name').click();
+await expect(page.getByText('Item Details')).toBeVisible();
+
+// Update
+await page.getByTestId('edit-item').click();
+// ... update form ...
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click();
+await expect(page.getByText('Updated successfully')).toBeVisible();
+
+// Delete
+await page.getByTestId('delete-item').click();
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Delete' }).click();
+await expect(page.getByText('Deleted successfully')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+### Expandable Details Pattern
+
+```typescript
+// Expand to view details
+const expandButton = page.getByRole('tab', { name: 'right' }).first();
+await expandButton.click();
+await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 1000));
+
+// Verify details
+await expect(page.getByText('Created by')).toBeVisible();
+await expect(page.getByText('Created on')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+## Testing Best Practices
+
+### 1. Test Independence
+- Each test should be independent and not rely on other tests
+- Use `beforeEach` for common setup
+- Clean up test data if necessary
+
+### 2. Stable Selectors
+- Always prefer semantic locators over CSS selectors
+- Use test IDs when semantic locators are not available
+- Avoid fragile selectors like `.class-name:nth-child(3)`
+
+### 3. Explicit Waits
+```typescript
+// ✅ GOOD - Wait for element to be visible
+await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).toBeVisible();
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// ❌ BAD - Arbitrary timeout
+await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
+```
+
+### 4. Assertions
+- Always add assertions to verify expected outcomes
+- Use appropriate assertion methods
+- Check for both positive and negative cases
+
+```typescript
+// Visibility assertions
+await expect(element).toBeVisible();
+await expect(element).toBeHidden();
+
+// Value assertions
+await expect(input).toHaveValue('expected');
+await expect(element).toHaveText('expected');
+
+// State assertions
+await expect(button).toBeEnabled();
+await expect(button).toBeDisabled();
+```
+
+### 5. Error Handling
+```typescript
+// Verify error messages
+await expect(page.getByText('Error: Invalid input')).toBeVisible();
+
+// Verify validation
+await expect(page.getByText('Please provide a name')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+### 6. Test Data Management
+```typescript
+// Use unique identifiers
+const uniqueName = `Test ${Date.now()}`;
+const uniqueId = `test-${Math.random().toString(36).substring(7)}`;
+
+// Clean up after tests if needed
+test.afterEach(async ({ page }) => {
+  // Delete created test data
+});
+```
+
+## Debugging Tests
+
+### Debug Commands
+
+```bash
+# UI Mode - interactive debugging
+yarn test:ui
+
+# Debug Mode - step through tests
+yarn test:debug
+
+# Headed Mode - see browser
+yarn test:headed
+
+# Run specific test
+yarn test tests/[feature]/[test].spec.ts
+
+# Run with specific role
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin yarn test:ui
+```
+
+### Using Playwright Inspector
+
+```typescript
+// Add breakpoint in test
+await page.pause();  // Test will pause here
+```
+
+### Viewing Test Reports
+
+```bash
+# Open HTML report
+yarn report
+
+# View JSON results
+cat test-results/results.json
+```
+
+## Complete Workflow
+
+### Creating New Test Suite
+
+1. **Plan First**
+   ```bash
+   # Use planner agent (recommended)
+   @🎭 planner @tests/seed.spec.ts
+   Create test plan for: [feature name]
+   Save to: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+
+   # OR create manually using template
+   cp examples/example-test-plan.md specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+   # Edit the plan
+   ```
+
+2. **Generate Tests**
+   ```bash
+   # Use generator agent (recommended)
+   @🎭 generator @specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md @tests/seed.spec.ts
+   Generate tests and save to: tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts
+
+   # OR write tests manually using seed.spec.ts as reference
+   ```
+
+3. **Run Tests**
+   ```bash
+   yarn test:ui  # Interactive mode
+   yarn test     # Headless mode
+   ```
+
+4. **Fix Failures**
+   ```bash
+   # Use healer agent (recommended)
+   @🎭 healer @tests/[feature]/[failing-test].spec.ts
+   Fix the failing test: [test name]
+   Error: [paste error]
+
+   # OR debug manually
+   yarn test:debug tests/[feature]/[failing-test].spec.ts
+   ```
+
+5. **Verify & Commit**
+   ```bash
+   # Run all tests
+   yarn test
+
+   # Check types
+   yarn typecheck
+
+   # Lint code
+   yarn lint:fix
+   ```
+
+## Code Quality
+
+### Linting
+```bash
+# Check for issues
+yarn lint
+
+# Auto-fix issues
+yarn lint:fix
+```
+
+### Type Checking
+```bash
+# Verify TypeScript types
+yarn typecheck
+```
+
+### Before Committing
+1. Run `yarn typecheck`
+2. Run `yarn lint:fix`
+3. Run `yarn test` to ensure all tests pass
+4. Update test plan if feature changed
+
+## Anti-Patterns to Avoid
+
+### ❌ DON'T
+
+```typescript
+// Don't use arbitrary timeouts
+await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
+
+// Don't use fragile CSS selectors
+await page.locator('.css-12345').click();
+
+// Don't skip error handling
+// (missing validation checks)
+
+// Don't hardcode URLs
+await page.goto('https://hardcoded-url.com');
+
+// Don't use test.only in committed code
+test.only('My test', async ({ page }) => { ... });
+
+// Don't write tests without tags
+test('Create item', async ({ page }) => { ... }); // Missing role tag!
+```
+
+### ✅ DO
+
+```typescript
+// Use explicit waits
+await expect(page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })).toBeVisible();
+
+// Use semantic locators
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Add proper assertions
+await expect(page.getByText('Success')).toBeVisible();
+
+// Use baseURL from config
+await page.goto('/dashboard');  // Uses baseURL from config
+
+// Remove test.only before committing
+test('Create item', { tag: '@editor' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+
+// Always tag tests with roles
+test('Create item', { tag: '@editor' }, async ({ page }) => { ... });
+```

+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Overview
+
+Playwright-based E2E suite for the SigNoz frontend, wired into the shared pytest project at `signoz/tests/`. Pytest fixtures (under `tests/fixtures/`) bring up the backend (ClickHouse + Postgres + migrator + SigNoz-with-web) and seed dashboards/alerts/telemetry before Playwright runs. Tests follow a test-plan-first workflow: write a markdown plan in `specs/`, then generate tests in `tests/`.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+# One-command local run (pytest owns lifecycle; shells out to Playwright):
+cd signoz/tests && uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --with-web \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/run.py::test_e2e
+
+# Warm the backend for iterative dev (keeps containers under --reuse):
+cd signoz/tests && uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --reuse --with-web \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/setup.py::test_setup
+# Then, from signoz/tests/e2e:
+yarn install && yarn install:browsers    # first time only
+yarn test                 # headless
+yarn test:ui              # interactive
+yarn test:headed          # headed
+yarn test:debug           # step-through
+yarn test tests/roles/roles-listing.spec.ts  # single file
+
+# Staging fallback (skips all pytest lifecycle, hits remote env):
+yarn test:staging
+
+# Teardown the warm backend:
+cd signoz/tests && uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --teardown \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/setup.py::test_teardown
+
+# Role-filtered runs (auto-set by global.setup.ts when backend is up):
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin yarn test
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Editor yarn test
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Viewer yarn test
+
+# Code quality (run before committing)
+yarn typecheck
+yarn lint:fix
+
+# Reports
+yarn report               # Open HTML report
+yarn codegen              # Generate test code interactively
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL=https://app.us.staging.signoz.cloud
+SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME=your-email@example.com
+SIGNOZ_E2E_PASSWORD=your-password
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin   # Admin | Editor | Viewer
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md   # Markdown test plans (source of truth)
+tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts        # Generated/implemented Playwright tests
+tests/seed.spec.ts                       # Reference patterns — always cite as context
+utils/login.util.ts                      # ensureLoggedIn() shared auth helper
+examples/example-test-plan.md           # Template for new test plans
+```
+
+### Role Hierarchy
+
+- `@viewer` — read-only tests (run for all roles)
+- `@editor` — create/edit tests (run for Editor and Admin)
+- `@admin` — delete/admin tests (run for Admin only)
+
+`playwright.config.ts` automatically sets the grep filter based on `SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE`.
+
+## Test File Structure
+
+Every test file must follow this pattern:
+
+```typescript
+// spec: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+// seed: tests/seed.spec.ts
+
+import { expect, test } from '@playwright/test';
+import { ensureLoggedIn } from '../../utils/login.util';
+
+test.describe('[Feature Name]', () => {
+  test.beforeEach(async ({ page }) => {
+    await ensureLoggedIn(page);
+    // navigate to feature
+  });
+
+  test('[Test Name]', { tag: '@viewer' }, async ({ page }) => {
+    // 1. Step description
+    // 2. Step description
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Locator Priority
+
+Use in this order:
+1. `getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })`
+2. `getByLabel('Email')`
+3. `getByPlaceholder('...')`
+4. `getByText('...')`
+5. `getByTestId('...')`
+6. `locator('.ant-select')` — last resort (e.g., Ant Design dropdowns have no semantic alternative)
+
+## Key Patterns
+
+**Unique test data:** `const name = \`Test ${Date.now()}\`;`
+
+**Explicit waits over timeouts:**
+```typescript
+// ✅ DO
+await expect(page.getByRole('dialog')).toBeVisible();
+// ❌ DON'T
+await page.waitForTimeout(5000);
+```
+
+**Never commit `test.only` or untagged tests.**
+
+## Playwright Agents
+
+Two `--loop` targets are configured:
+
+| Loop | Agents location | Use when |
+|------|----------------|----------|
+| `--loop=claude` | `.claude/agents/` | Working in Claude Code (this tool) |
+| `--loop=vscode` | `.github/chatmodes/` | Working in VS Code Copilot |
+
+**Re-run after every Playwright upgrade** to pick up improved prompts and new tools:
+```bash
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode
+```
+
+Claude Code agents (in `.claude/agents/`):
+- **playwright-test-planner** — explores the app and writes `specs/[feature]/test-plan.md`
+- **playwright-test-generator** — reads a test plan, executes steps live, writes `tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts`
+- **playwright-test-healer** — runs failing tests, debugs, patches locators/waits until green
+
+These agents use MCP (`run-test-mcp-server --headless`) for bounded, structured test generation sessions.
+
+## CLI vs MCP: When to Use What
+
+**Use the Playwright subagents (MCP)** for the structured plan → generate → heal workflow. Each session is bounded so the MCP token overhead (~4x vs CLI) is acceptable.
+
+**Use `playwright-cli` directly** for all other browser work — quick locator checks, exploring the app, debugging outside a structured session. It saves snapshots/screenshots to disk (`.playwright-cli/`) instead of streaming them into the context window, giving ~4x token savings vs MCP.
+
+```bash
+# Open the app and take a snapshot (element refs saved to .playwright-cli/*.yml)
+playwright-cli open https://app.us.staging.signoz.cloud
+
+# Get compact element refs (e1, e2, ...) without sending the DOM into context
+playwright-cli snapshot
+
+# Interact using refs from the snapshot
+playwright-cli fill e5 "search term"
+playwright-cli click e12
+playwright-cli press Enter
+
+# Each action also outputs the equivalent Playwright code — copy straight into tests
+# e.g.: await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+# Take a screenshot (saved to disk, not injected into context)
+playwright-cli screenshot
+
+# Check console errors and network requests
+playwright-cli console
+playwright-cli network
+
+# Save and restore auth state (skip login in subsequent sessions)
+playwright-cli state-save .playwright-cli/auth.json
+playwright-cli state-load .playwright-cli/auth.json
+
+playwright-cli close
+```
+
+For running and debugging actual test files, use these (they're faster for simple cases):
+
+```bash
+yarn test tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts   # run single spec
+yarn test:debug tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts  # step-through
+yarn test:ui                                   # interactive UI
+yarn codegen                                   # record a flow interactively
+```

+# SigNoz E2E
+
+Playwright tests for the SigNoz frontend. Lives alongside `tests/integration/` and reuses its pytest fixture graph to bring up a containerized backend, register an admin, and seed dashboards + telemetry before Playwright runs.
+
+## Two ways to run
+
+### 1. One-command (local backend, recommended)
+
+Pytest owns the lifecycle. It provisions containers, registers the admin, seeds dashboards/alerts/telemetry, writes backend coordinates to `.signoz-backend.json`, then shells out to `yarn test`:
+
+```bash
+cd signoz/tests
+uv sync                                               # first time only
+uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --with-web \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/run.py::test_e2e
+```
+
+For iterative Playwright dev, bring the backend up once (`--reuse` keeps containers warm) and drive Playwright directly:
+
+```bash
+cd signoz/tests
+uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --reuse --with-web \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/setup.py::test_setup
+cd e2e && yarn install && yarn install:browsers       # first time
+yarn test:ui                                          # iterate
+```
+
+Teardown when done:
+
+```bash
+cd signoz/tests
+uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --teardown \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/setup.py::test_teardown
+```
+
+### 2. Staging fallback
+
+Point `SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL` at a remote env (e.g. staging) — `global.setup.ts` becomes a no-op and Playwright hits the URL directly:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env              # fill SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME/PASSWORD
+yarn test:staging
+```
+
+## Setup details
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies (local deps for Playwright)
+yarn install
+
+# Install Playwright browsers
+yarn install:browsers
+
+# Copy .env.example to .env (only needed for staging mode)
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+### Playwright CLI Setup (token-efficient browser automation)
+
+`@playwright/cli` is a standalone CLI tool for AI coding agents. It saves snapshots and screenshots to disk instead of streaming them into the LLM context — ~4x fewer tokens than MCP for open-ended browser sessions.
+
+```bash
+yarn install:cli
+# Equivalent to:
+#   npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
+#   playwright-cli install --skills
+```
+
+This initializes the workspace and installs the `SKILL.md` to `.claude/skills/playwright-cli/` so Claude Code can use `playwright-cli` commands directly.
+
+> **Note:** Re-run `yarn install:cli` after upgrading `@playwright/cli` to pick up new commands and skill definitions.
+
+### Playwright Agents Setup
+
+Initialize Playwright agents for your AI tool:
+
+```bash
+# For Claude Code
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=claude
+
+# For VS Code Copilot
+npx playwright init-agents --loop=vscode
+```
+
+> **Note:** Re-run these commands after every Playwright version upgrade to pick up improved agent prompts and new tools.
+
+This creates three agents:
+1. **Planner** - Explores the app and creates comprehensive test plans in `specs/`
+2. **Generator** - Generates Playwright tests from test plans in `specs/`
+3. **Healer** - Fixes failing tests by updating locators and adding proper waits
+
+The MCP server (`.mcp.json`) runs in `--headless` mode to avoid spawning a visible browser window during agent sessions.
+
+The agents are configured to work with your `seed.spec.ts` file for context and patterns.
+
+## Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+yarn test
+
+# Run in UI mode (interactive)
+yarn test:ui
+
+# Run in headed mode (see browser)
+yarn test:headed
+
+# Debug mode
+yarn test:debug
+
+# Run specific browser
+yarn test:chromium
+yarn test:firefox
+yarn test:webkit
+
+# View HTML report
+yarn report
+
+# Generate tests with Codegen
+yarn codegen
+
+# Linting and formatting
+yarn lint
+yarn lint:fix
+
+# Type checking
+yarn typecheck
+```
+
+## Using Playwright Agents
+
+The agent invocation syntax differs by AI tool:
+
+### Claude Code
+
+```
+use playwright-test-planner to create a test plan for [feature] at [url]
+save to: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+
+use playwright-test-generator with specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md and tests/seed.spec.ts
+save to: tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts
+
+use playwright-test-healer to fix failing tests in tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts
+error: [paste error message]
+```
+
+### VS Code Copilot
+
+```
+@🎭 planner @tests/seed.spec.ts
+Create a test plan for [feature]. Save to: specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md
+
+@🎭 generator @specs/[feature]/[feature]-test-plan.md @tests/seed.spec.ts
+Generate tests. Save to: tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts
+
+@🎭 healer @tests/[feature]/[test].spec.ts
+Fix the failing test: [test name]. Error: [paste error message]
+```
+
+### What each agent does
+
+| Agent | Input | Output |
+|-------|-------|--------|
+| Planner | App URL + seed test | `specs/[feature]/test-plan.md` |
+| Generator | Test plan + seed test | `tests/[feature]/[feature].spec.ts` (validated live) |
+| Healer | Failing `.spec.ts` + error | Patched test, or `test.fixme()` with explanation |
+
+
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Description | Example |
+|----------|-------------|---------|
+| `SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL` | Base URL of the application | `https://app.us.staging.signoz.cloud` |
+| `SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME` | Test user email | `test@example.com` |
+| `SIGNOZ_E2E_PASSWORD` | Test user password | `your-password` |
+| `SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE` | Role of the user for testing | `Admin`, `Editor`, or `Viewer` |
+
+## Workflow Example
+
+### Complete Test Creation Flow (Claude Code)
+
+```bash
+# 1. Create test plan
+# In Claude Code, say:
+# "use playwright-test-planner to create a test plan for the routing policies feature at https://app.us.staging.signoz.cloud/alerts
+#  save to: specs/alerts/routing-policies-test-plan.md"
+
+# 2. Review and edit the generated plan in specs/alerts/routing-policies-test-plan.md
+
+# 3. Generate tests from the plan
+# "use playwright-test-generator with specs/alerts/routing-policies-test-plan.md and tests/seed.spec.ts
+#  save to: tests/alerts/routing-policies.spec.ts"
+
+# 4. Run the tests
+yarn test:ui
+
+# 5. If any test fails, heal it
+# "use playwright-test-healer to fix failing tests in tests/alerts/routing-policies.spec.ts
+#  error: <paste error output>"
+
+# 6. Re-run to verify
+yarn test
+```
+
+### Role-Based Test Execution
+
+This project uses Playwright's tag system to run tests based on user roles. Tests are automatically filtered by the `SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE` environment variable.
+
+#### How It Works
+
+When you run tests, Playwright automatically filters which tests execute based on your role:
+
+- **Admin**: Runs ALL tests (has access to everything)
+- **Editor**: Runs Editor + Viewer tests (cannot run Admin-only features)
+- **Viewer**: Runs only Viewer tests (read-only access)
+
+#### Tagging Tests
+
+When writing tests, tag them based on required permissions:
+
+```typescript
+// Admin-only test
+test(
+  'Delete Organization',
+  { tag: '@admin' },
+  async ({ page }) => {
+    // Only admins can delete organizations
+  }
+);
+
+// Editor-level test
+test(
+  'Create Dashboard',
+  { tag: '@editor' },
+  async ({ page }) => {
+    // Editors and Admins can create dashboards
+  }
+);
+
+// Viewer-level test
+test(
+  'View Dashboard',
+  { tag: '@viewer' },
+  async ({ page }) => {
+    // All users can view dashboards
+  }
+);
+```
+
+#### Running Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run tests as different roles
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin yarn test     # Runs @admin, @editor, @viewer tests
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Editor yarn test    # Runs @editor, @viewer tests only
+SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Viewer yarn test    # Runs @viewer tests only
+
+# Set role in .env file for persistent testing
+echo "SIGNOZ_USER_ROLE=Admin" >> .env
+yarn test
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Start with Seed Test** - Always reference `seed.spec.ts` for patterns
+2. **Review Generated Plans** - Edit test plans before generating tests
+3. **Use Semantic Locators** - Prefer `getByRole`, `getByLabel` over CSS selectors
+4. **Keep Plans Updated** - Update `specs/` when features change
+5. **Let Healer Work** - The healer can fix most locator and timing issues
+6. **Write Descriptive Tests** - Use clear test names and comments
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Tests Won't Run
+- Check `.env` has correct credentials
+- Verify `baseURL` is accessible
+- Run `yarn test:debug` for detailed output
+
+### Locators Failing
+- Use the healer agent to fix them
+- Or use Playwright Inspector: `yarn test:debug`
+- Check if UI elements have changed
+
+### Authentication Issues
+- Verify `ensureLoggedIn()` function works
+- Check credentials in `.env`
+- Run seed test independently: `yarn test tests/seed.spec.ts`

+## Contributing
+
+When adding new tests:
+1. Create a test plan in `specs/` first
+2. Use agents to generate tests
+3. Review and refine generated code
+4. Ensure tests follow existing patterns
+5. Add proper documentation

+# Alerts + Planned Downtime regression suite
+
+Playwright suite originally developed for `platform-pod/issues/2095-frontend` (migration of alerts and planned-downtime flows to generated OpenAPI clients + generated react-query hooks). 34 steps across 6 flows; mutates shared tenant state so runs serially regardless of config-level `fullyParallel`.
+
+## Files
+
+- [`SUITE.md`](./SUITE.md) — **stable spec.** What the suite tests and how to execute a run. Read this before driving a browser or modifying the spec.
+- [`results-schema.md`](./results-schema.md) — shape of the per-run `results.json` diffable artifact used while this suite was still driven interactively.
+- Spec lives at `tests/e2e/tests/alerts-downtime/alerts-downtime.spec.ts`.
+
+## Running
+
+Same lifecycle as the rest of the e2e suite — the pytest bootstrap provisions the backend and sets env vars, Playwright reads `.signoz-backend.json` via `global.setup.ts`.
+
+```bash
+# One-command run against a freshly-provisioned local backend
+cd signoz/tests
+uv run pytest --basetemp=./tmp/ -vv --reuse --with-web \
+  e2e/src/bootstrap/setup.py::test_setup
+cd e2e
+yarn test tests/alerts-downtime/
+
+# Staging (requires SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME/PASSWORD in .env)
+yarn test:staging tests/alerts-downtime/
+```
+
+Runtime is ~1m30s sequentially. Artifacts (network captures + screenshots) land in `tests/e2e/tests/alerts-downtime/run-spec-<ts>/` or `$RUN_OUTPUT_DIR` — gitignored.
+
+## Open observations from the original regression runs
+
+These are FE behaviours the 2095 runs surfaced that are not yet fixed. They should be resolved or formally acknowledged as working-as-intended before the suite is considered fully green.
+
+1. **Error-surface inconsistency** (alert-delete modal vs downtime-delete toast). BE returns the same 409 shape for both; only FE render differs.
+2. **`PlannedDowntimeForm.tsx:250`** `console.error`s the `validateFields` rejection — pre-existing nit.
+3. **`.alert-details__header` selector** no longer matches after the v2 overview refactor; use `.alert-header__input` or `[data-testid=alert-name-input]`. SUITE.md step 3.2 needs an amend.
+4. **V2 Save Alert Rule button enables without a metric** — toggling Routing Policies and skipping the metric selection lets the user click Save, which fails with 400 `invalid_input`. The error modal surfaces correctly, but the client-side gate should require a metric.
+5. **`/api/v2/rules/test` bypasses threshold evaluation by design** — the test endpoint uses `WithSendUnmatched()`, so threshold matching does not gate the sample. `Footer.tsx:94-99` empty-result branch is only reachable via a zero-data query (nonexistent metric / empty filter), not an unsatisfiable threshold. SUITE.md step 2.12 should be amended to use a zero-data query instead of `target: 1e18`.
+6. **Detection-method toggle is one-way (anomaly → threshold has no return path).** `CreateAlertRule/index.tsx:49-61` routes to the classic form only for `ANOMALY_BASED_ALERT` (or forced classic). V2 has no anomaly tab (`CreateAlertV2/AlertCondition/AlertCondition.tsx:43-51` comments it out), so users have no UI control to switch back without re-routing through `/alerts/type-selection`. SUITE.md step 6.6 should describe the asymmetric behavior, and the FE should either preserve detection-method tabs in V2 or add a "Switch back" affordance.
+7. **v5 builder spec rejects function `namedArgs`.** Posting `functions: [{name:"anomaly", namedArgs:{z_score_threshold:3}}]` to `/api/v2/rules` returns 400 `unknown field "namedArgs"`. The FE's `prepareQueryRangePayloadV5.ts:186-204` converts `namedArgs → args:[{name,value}]` before posting; any direct-fetch test must do the same conversion.

+# SUITE — platform-pod/issues/2095-frontend regression sweep
+
+This file is the **stable specification** of the test suite. It doesn't record results — those live in per-run directories (`run-1/`, `run-2/`, …). Re-running the suite = following this file and producing a new `run-N/` from it.
+
+## What this suite verifies
+
+The branch `platform-pod/issues/2095-frontend` migrated the Alerts and Planned Downtime frontend flows to the generated OpenAPI clients and generated react-query hooks. Legacy adapters under `frontend/src/api/alerts/*` and `frontend/src/api/plannedDowntime/*` were deleted; ad-hoc types (`GettableAlert`) retired in favor of generated `RuletypesRuleDTO` / `RuletypesPlannedMaintenanceDTO`. The suite also exercises four real behavior fixes bundled with the refactor:
+
+| Commit | Claim |
+|---|---|
+| `3db3a8626` | Null rules no longer cause infinite spinner |
+| `684ef010d` | Alert detail maps HTTP 404 to `<AlertNotFound>` |
+| `dc27a72bf` | Downtime ID kept as string (no number coercion) |
+| `ddb0cb66e` | `convertToApiError` on save/delete paths, errors surface via `showErrorModal` |
+
+## Environment
+
+- Target: `baseURL` from `tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts` (set by `global.setup.ts` from the pytest-provisioned `.signoz-backend.json`, or `SIGNOZ_E2E_BASE_URL` in staging mode).
+- Credentials: `SIGNOZ_E2E_USERNAME` / `SIGNOZ_E2E_PASSWORD` (pre-populated by the pytest bootstrap; only needed in `.env` for staging mode). Historical runs against `full-mastodon.us.staging.signoz.cloud` used `LOGIN_USERNAME` / `LOGIN_PASSWORD`.
+- Driver: `tests/e2e/tests/alerts-downtime/alerts-downtime.spec.ts` via Playwright. Historical runs 1–6 were driven via Playwright MCP interactively.
+- Prerequisite: the staging tenant must have at least one notification channel provisioned (Flow 5 selects `#staging-alerts`; if that exact channel isn't available, pick any channel and note the substitution in the run report)
+
+## Naming conventions for destructive actions
+
+Derive once per run: `E2E_TAG = e2e-2095-<unix-ts>`. Every entity created gets this prefix. Never delete anything that doesn't start with the current run's `E2E_TAG`.
+
+## Suite structure
+
+Six flows, 47 numbered steps total. Flow order: 1 depends on 2 (needs a rule to toggle/delete); best practice is `Flow 2 step 1-3 → Flow 1 → Flow 3 → Flow 4 → Flow 5 → Flow 6`. Each flow's detailed steps are below; full narrative with rationale lives in `run-1/0X-*.md` for reference.
+
+Steps 2.8–2.10 were added after run-1 to cover the labels/annotations round-trip exposed by `types/api/alerts/convert.ts`. They are expected to appear as "new scenarios added since last run" in run-2's `DIFF_vs_run-1.md`.
+
+Steps 2.11–2.13 were added after run-4 to cover the `/api/v2/rules/test` (Test Notification) endpoint and the V2 footer button's success / empty-result / validation-gated states (`CreateAlertV2/Footer/Footer.tsx:81-219`). They are expected to appear as "new scenarios added since last run" in run-5's `DIFF_vs_run-3.md`.
+
+Flow 6 (anomaly alerts, steps 6.1–6.8) was added after run-5 to cover the anomaly-rule creation path, which always routes through the classic `FormAlertRules` on this branch (see `CreateAlertRule/index.tsx:49-61` — `CreateAlertV2` is never rendered when `alertType === ANOMALY_BASED_ALERT`). Expected to appear as "new scenarios added since last run" in the first full run after run-5.
+
+Step 6.9 was added during run-6 to extend Flow 6 with `/api/v2/rules/test` coverage for the anomaly DTO (the classic anomaly form has no Test Notification button, so 6.9 is a direct-fetch API-contract probe). Expected to appear as "new scenarios added since last run" in the first run after run-6.
+
+### Flow 1 — Alerts list, toggle, delete
+
+Files exercised: `container/ListAlertRules/{ListAlert,DeleteAlert,ToggleAlertState}.tsx`.
+
+| Step | Action | Expected | Regression-fix tie-in |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1.1 | Navigate `/alerts?tab=AlertRules` on a tenant with zero rules | Empty state (`No Alert rules yet.`) renders; no infinite spinner | `3db3a8626` |
+| 1.2 | Open action menu (ellipsis) on a row | Menu shows Disable, Edit, Edit in New Tab, Clone, Delete | — |
+| 1.3 | Click Disable | Status cell flips `OK` → `Disabled`; menu label flips to `Enable` | `patchRuleByID` roundtrip |
+| 1.4 | Click Enable | Status flips back to `OK`; menu label back to `Disable` | same |
+| 1.5 | Click Delete (no confirm modal for rules) | Row disappears from table immediately | `deleteRuleByID`; optimistic `setData` at `DeleteAlert.tsx:38` |
+| 1.6 | Hard-refresh list | Row is gone | BE delete actually persisted |
+
+### Flow 2 — Alert create, edit, clone
+
+Files exercised: `container/CreateAlertV2/Footer/Footer.tsx`, `container/FormAlertRules/index.tsx`, `pages/AlertDetails/hooks.tsx::useAlertRuleDuplicate / useAlertRuleUpdate`, `types/api/alerts/convert.ts::toPostableRuleDTO` (labels / annotations mapping).
+
+| Step | Action | Expected |
+|---|---|---|
+| 2.1 | Click `New Alert Rule` → v2 metric-based form opens | Form renders; Save disabled |
+| 2.2 | Fill name `${E2E_TAG}-create`, pick first metric (e.g. `app.ads.ad_requests`), threshold default 0 | Chart plots; Save still disabled (channel/routing required) |
+| 2.3 | Enable `Use Routing Policies` toggle (or select the test channel if configured) | Save enables |
+| 2.4 | Click Save Alert Rule | Redirect to list; row `${E2E_TAG}-create` appears with status `OK` |
+| 2.5 | Click row → overview loads → rename to `${E2E_TAG}-renamed` via header input → Save | Redirect to list; row name updated |
+| 2.6 | Open menu → Clone | New rule `${E2E_TAG}-renamed - Copy` created; navigation lands on its overview URL |
+| 2.7 | Visit History tab from the cloned overview | History widgets (TOTAL TRIGGERED / AVG RESOLUTION TIME / TOP CONTRIBUTORS) render; no spinner |
+| 2.8 | On a fresh `/alerts/new` form, after 2.1–2.3: add two labels via the labels input — `env=prod`, `severity=warn`; fill annotations `description=${E2E_TAG}-desc`, `summary=${E2E_TAG}-summary`; name `${E2E_TAG}-labels`. Save; capture POST body to `network/02_step2.8_POST_rules.json` | POST body `labels` object contains exactly `{env: "prod", severity: "warn"}`; `annotations` carries the description/summary. Row `${E2E_TAG}-labels` appears in list |
+| 2.9 | Click the `${E2E_TAG}-labels` row → open its Edit form | Labels input shows both chips; annotations inputs rehydrate with the saved description/summary |
+| 2.10 | In the Edit form: clear the **value** of the `severity` label (leave the key, blank the value); Save; capture PUT body to `network/02_step2.10_PUT_rules.json` | Document the resulting PUT body's `labels` shape. Two behaviors possible and both are acceptable to observe — note whichever occurs: (a) `severity` key retained with `""` value (UI passes empty strings through; `stripUndefinedLabels` only filters `undefined`), or (b) `severity` key absent (UI coerces blank to `undefined` and our helper drops it — this is the **silent ignore** surface) |
+| 2.11 | On a fresh `/alerts/new` V2 form, fill name `${E2E_TAG}-test-notif`, pick a metric known to produce non-zero values on staging (e.g. `app.currency_counter` — the one run-3 used for 2.4), leave threshold default (target `0`, op `>`), enable `Use Routing Policies`. Click `Test Notification`. Capture request + response to `network/02_step2.11_POST_rules_test.json` | `POST /api/v2/rules/test` fires with a full `RuletypesPostableRuleDTO` body (same shape as the create POST in `run-3/network/02_step2.4_POST_rules.json`: top-level `alert`, `condition`, `annotations`, `labels`, `notificationSettings.usePolicy: true`, `evaluation`). Response 200 with `data.alertCount > 0`. Toast `Test notification sent successfully` (green). Nothing persisted — the rule does **not** appear in the list. Button icon is `<Loader>` during the request, reverts to `<Send>` on completion. Covers `Footer.tsx:94-102` success branch |
+| 2.12 | Same form as 2.11, but before clicking Test Notification change the threshold target to `1e18` (or any value the metric can't exceed) with op `>`. Click `Test Notification`; capture to `network/02_step2.12_POST_rules_test.json` | `POST /api/v2/rules/test` returns 200 with `data.alertCount === 0`. Toast `No alerts found during the evaluation. This happens when rule condition is unsatisfied. You may adjust the rule threshold and retry.` (red). No persisted rule. Covers the empty-result branch at `Footer.tsx:94-99` |
+| 2.13 | On a fresh V2 form with name empty and no metric picked, inspect the `Test Notification` button. Hover to read the tooltip. Then fill name + metric + routing; re-inspect | While validation fails: button has `disabled` attribute, Ant tooltip shows the message from `validateCreateAlertState` (e.g. name-required or channel-required — whichever the current branch surfaces). No `POST /api/v2/rules/test` fires while disabled. Once validation passes, the button becomes enabled (no tooltip). Covers `Footer.tsx:169-170,204,210-211` and reinforces 2.3's gating contract |
+
+Notes on **silent ignore** for future sessions: `convert.ts::stripUndefinedLabels` drops entries whose value is `undefined` (not entries whose value is `""`). The UI rarely produces an `undefined`-valued label directly — most inputs produce strings, possibly empty. Step 2.10 is the closest black-box probe. Authoritative coverage of the `undefined` filter lives (or will live) in a Jest test for `convert.ts`; if that test is missing, flag it as an observation rather than a step failure.
+
+### Flow 3 — Alert details and 404
+
+Files exercised: `pages/AlertDetails/{AlertDetails,AlertHeader/AlertHeader,hooks}.tsx`, `pages/AlertDetails/AlertNotFound/AlertNotFound.tsx`.
+
+| Step | Action | Expected | Regression-fix tie-in |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 3.1 | On a valid rule's `/alerts/overview?ruleId=<id>` | Breadcrumb `Alert Rules/<id>`, AlertHeader, Overview+History tabs, chart | — |
+| 3.2 | DOM probe: `.alert-details__header`, `.ant-breadcrumb`, tab count | All present (tab count ≥ 2) | — |
+| 3.3 | Click History tab | History page loads with the three widgets | — |
+| 3.4 | Visit `/alerts/overview?ruleId=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000` | `<AlertNotFound>` renders; document title = `Alert Not Found`; two reason panels | `684ef010d` |
+| 3.5 | Visit `/alerts/overview` with no query params | Same `<AlertNotFound>` render (`!isValidRuleId` branch) | `AlertDetails.tsx:107` |
+| 3.6 | Delete a rule, then revisit its overview URL | `<AlertNotFound>` render (HTTP 404 → error branch) | `684ef010d` |
+
+### Flow 4 — Planned Downtime CRUD
+
+Files exercised: `container/PlannedDowntime/*`.
+
+| Step | Action | Expected | Regression-fix tie-in |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 4.1a | Deep-link to `/alerts?tab=Configuration&subTab=planned-downtime` in a fresh tab | List renders | **Known FAIL (run 1)** — infinite spinner; no `GET /downtime_schedules` fires |
+| 4.1b | From `/alerts?tab=AlertRules`, click `Configuration` tab → Planned Downtime sub-tab | List renders | — |
+| 4.2 | Click `New downtime`, fill name `${E2E_TAG}-downtime-once`, start = today, end = tomorrow, timezone UTC, no alerts selected, `Does not repeat`, submit | Row appears with `24 hours` duration chip and start-time caption | `b608ac6f8`, `739c868ef` |
+| 4.3 | Probe validation: submit with `Ends on` empty | Inline red error `Please enter Ends on` | client-side validation |
+| 4.4 | Click pencil → edit name to `${E2E_TAG}-downtime-edited` → `Update downtime schedule` | Row name updates; `24 hours` duration preserved | `dc27a72bf` |
+| 4.5 | Click trash → `Delete Schedule` modal → confirm | Row removed; list returns to `No data` | — |
+
+### Flow 5 — Classic experience + cascade-delete error paths
+
+Files exercised: `container/FormAlertRules/index.tsx` (classic form), `DeleteAlert.tsx`, `PlannedDowntimeForm.tsx`, `PlannedDowntimeDeleteModal.tsx`, `api/ErrorResponseHandlerForGeneratedAPIs.ts`.
+
+| Step | Action | Expected | Regression-fix tie-in |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 5.1 | `/alerts/new` → click `Switch to Classic Experience` | URL gains `showClassicCreateAlertsPage=true&ruleType=threshold_rule`; classic `FormAlertRules` renders with 3-step layout | — |
+| 5.2 | Fill: first metric, name `${E2E_TAG}-classic`, select channel from `Notification Channels` dropdown | `Create Rule` enables | — |
+| 5.3 | Click `Create Rule`, confirm `Save Changes` modal OK | Redirect to list; row `${E2E_TAG}-classic` with severity `warning` | `createRule` generated client |
+| 5.4 | Create downtime `${E2E_TAG}-downtime-linked` (see Flow 4 steps for mechanics) and attach the classic alert in `Silence Alerts` | Downtime row shows the `24 hours` chip; `${E2E_TAG}-downtime-linked` created | — |
+| 5.5 | Alert Rules tab → ellipsis on the classic alert → Delete | **Error modal** surfaces: `already_exists` code, message `"cannot delete rule because it is referenced by a planned maintenance, remove the rule from the planned maintenance first"`. Row remains. | `ddb0cb66e` → `showErrorModal` |
+| 5.6 | Configuration → trash on the downtime → `Delete Schedule` | **Error notification (toast)**: same `already_exists` code, message `"cannot delete planned maintenance because it is referenced by associated rules, remove the rules from the planned maintenance first"`. Network DELETE returns 409. Row remains. | `ddb0cb66e` |
+
+### Flow 6 — Anomaly alerts
+
+Files exercised: `pages/AlertTypeSelection/AlertTypeSelection.tsx`, `container/CreateAlertRule/SelectAlertType/index.tsx`, `container/CreateAlertRule/index.tsx:49-61` (classic-vs-V2 dispatch), `container/FormAlertRules/index.tsx` (with `ruleType=anomaly_rule`), `container/FormAlertRules/RuleOptions.tsx:100-124,381-390` (anomaly-specific inputs — z-score, seasonality), `ee/query-service/rules/anomaly.go` (BE evaluation).
+
+Anomaly alerts use the **classic** form exclusively on this branch. The V2 anomaly tab in `CreateAlertV2/AlertCondition/AlertCondition.tsx:43-51` is commented out; `buildCreateAnomalyAlertRulePayload` in `CreateAlertV2/Footer/utils.tsx:291` is still a TODO stub. The classic flow serializes anomaly as a query function: `functions: [{ name: "anomaly", namedArgs: { z_score_threshold: <n> } }]` with `ruleType: "anomaly_rule"`, `alertType: "METRIC_BASED_ALERT"` (see `FormAlertRules/index.tsx:216-233`).
+
+**Prerequisite:** tenant must have the `anomaly_detection` feature flag active (`constants/features.ts:9`). Without it, the type-selection card is hidden but direct-URL access still works. Step 6.1 gates on the flag; if it's off, mark 6.1 as `blocked` in the run and skip to 6.2 via direct URL.
+
+| Step | Action | Expected |
+|---|---|---|
+| 6.1 | Navigate `/alerts/type-selection`. Observe alert-type cards rendered | With `anomaly_detection` flag on: five cards including an **Anomaly** card with a `Beta` tag (`data-testid="alert-type-card-ANOMALY_BASED_ALERT"`). With flag off: only four cards, no Anomaly entry. |
+| 6.2 | Click the Anomaly card (or if flag off, direct-URL to `/alerts/new?ruleType=anomaly_rule&alertType=METRIC_BASED_ALERT`) | Page lands on `/alerts/new?ruleType=anomaly_rule&alertType=METRIC_BASED_ALERT`. Classic `FormAlertRules` renders (not `CreateAlertV2`), top-of-page detection-method tabs show `Threshold Alert` and `Anomaly Detection Alert` with the anomaly tab selected. |
+| 6.3 | On the anomaly form: pick a metric with data on staging (e.g. `app.currency_counter`), fill name `${E2E_TAG}-anomaly`, leave z-score deviation at default (`3`), pick a channel from `Notification Channels` | `Create Rule` enables. The query-builder chart preview renders with the overlay/anomaly-band UI specific to `ruleType=anomaly_rule` (`FormAlertRules/ChartPreview/index.tsx:338`). |
+| 6.4 | Click `Create Rule` → confirm the `Save Changes` modal OK. Capture POST body to `network/06_step6.4_POST_rules.json` | POST `/api/v2/rules` => 201. Body has `ruleType: "anomaly_rule"`, `alertType: "METRIC_BASED_ALERT"`, and `condition.compositeQuery.builder.queryData[0].functions` contains `{ name: "anomaly", namedArgs: { z_score_threshold: 3 } }`. Redirect to list; row `${E2E_TAG}-anomaly` appears (rule type visible in the row or accessible via detail). |
+| 6.5 | Click the row → overview loads → click Edit. Change the z-score deviation from `3` to `5`. Save. Capture PUT body to `network/06_step6.5_PUT_rules.json` | PUT `/api/v2/rules/<id>` body's `functions[anomaly].namedArgs.z_score_threshold` is `5` (serialized via `FormAlertRules/index.tsx:216-233`'s z-score branch). List reflects the update after redirect. |
+| 6.6 | On a fresh `/alerts/new?ruleType=anomaly_rule&alertType=METRIC_BASED_ALERT`, click the `Threshold Alert` detection-method tab | URL updates to `ruleType=threshold_rule` (`FormAlertRules/index.tsx:245-259` useEffect). The anomaly function is **removed** from `currentQuery.builder.queryData[*].functions` (`FormAlertRules/index.tsx:234-240`). Switching back to `Anomaly Detection Alert` re-adds the anomaly function with the current `z_score_threshold`. No network call fires on tab toggles. |
+| 6.7 | From the list: ellipsis on the `${E2E_TAG}-anomaly` row → Delete. Capture DELETE to `network/06_step6.7_DELETE_rules.json` | DELETE `/api/v2/rules/<id>` => 204 (same path as threshold delete). Row disappears; hard-refresh confirms. |
+| 6.8 | Visit the deleted anomaly rule's overview URL (`/alerts/overview?ruleId=<id>`) | `<AlertNotFound>` renders — same 404 branch as Flow 3.6. Confirms the detail page's AlertNotFound path works for anomaly rules too, not just threshold. |
+| 6.9 | `POST /api/v2/rules/test` with the anomaly DTO from 6.4 (no rule needs to exist; this is a fire-and-forget evaluation). Capture to `network/06_step6.9_POST_rules_test.json`. | 200 with `data.alertCount >= 1` and `message: "notification sent"`. Confirms `/api/v2/rules/test` accepts the anomaly rule shape (`ruleType: "anomaly_rule"`, `condition.algorithm`, `condition.seasonality`, `functions[anomaly]`) and returns the same envelope shape as a threshold test. **No UI driver** for this step — the classic anomaly form has no Test Notification button (Flow 2.11–2.13's button is V2-only); `06.9` is an API-contract probe via direct fetch. The BE-side observation from run-5 (`SendUnmatched` bypasses threshold evaluation) applies here too — `alertCount: 0` is reachable only via a zero-data query, not via threshold tweaking. |
+
+Notes for future runs:
+- **FE serialization is z-score-only** on this branch. The `seasonality` / `algorithm` fields surfaced by `AnomalyThreshold.tsx` (V2) are not sent by the classic form's POST body. If a future run observes `seasonality` or `algorithm` keys in `06_step6.4_POST_rules.json`, flag as new coverage.
+- **BE evaluation** lives in `ee/query-service/rules/anomaly.go` (daily provider by default; hourly/weekly selected by the `seasonality` field when sent). Not directly probed by UI regression — BE-unit tests at `ee/query-service/rules/anomaly_test.go` are the authoritative source.
+- The **Test Notification** button from Flow 2.11–2.13 is V2-only and does **not** render on the classic anomaly form. Step 6.9 probes the same endpoint by direct fetch with the anomaly DTO; if the V2 anomaly tab is uncommented in a future branch, add a UI-driven sibling step (e.g. `6.9b`) that clicks the V2 footer button.
+
+## Cleanup
+
+End-of-run: every entity named `${E2E_TAG}*` must be removed. Alerts: menu → Delete. Downtime: trash → confirm. Verify no residue remains before wrapping.
+
+**Known blocker for Flow 5 cleanup (run 1)**: after creating the downtime-linked entities, the UI's "edit downtime → remove silenced alert → delete downtime → delete alert" path does not actually clear the server-side association. See `run-1/05-classic-and-cascade-delete.md` "Cleanup residue" for the hypothesis. If this remains true in run-N, document it as cleanup residue and move on.
+
+## How to execute a new run
+
+Follow this procedure if you (a future LLM session) are asked to re-run the suite.
+
+1. Artifacts land at `tests/e2e/tests/alerts-downtime/run-spec-<ts>/` (or `$RUN_OUTPUT_DIR` if set). Derive a new `E2E_TAG` from `date +%s` — the spec does this at module load.
+2. Log in to staging via Playwright MCP (reuse existing session cookie if available).
+3. Walk Flows 1–5 step-by-step. For each step:
+   - Take a screenshot with filename `<flow>_step<stepId>_<slug>.png` and save to `run-<N>/screenshots/`.
+   - Record observed state (DOM probe results, notification text, network response codes) in the per-flow markdown log.
+   - Mark each step as `pass` / `fail` / `blocked` / `skipped`.
+4. Write per-flow logs to `run-<N>/0X-*.md` with the same structure as `run-1/` (one table per flow, one row per step, screenshot and network-capture links per row).
+5. Write `run-<N>/results.json` conforming to the schema in `results-schema.md`. This is the diffable artifact.
+6. Write `run-<N>/RUN_REPORT.md` — narrative summary.
+7. Write `run-<N>/DIFF_vs_run-<N-1>.md` comparing the two runs. Use the comparison template below.
+
+### Capturing API request/response bodies per step
+
+Every step that triggers a backend call (create, update, delete, toggle, list refetch, etc.) must also save the request + response payload. Do **not** embed the bodies inline in the markdown — dump them to files under `run-<N>/network/`, one JSON per step.
+
+Filename pattern: `<flow>_step<stepId>_<METHOD>_<endpoint-slug>.json`
+Examples:
+- `02_step2.4_POST_rules.json` — create alert (Flow 2 step 2.4)
+- `04_step4.4_PUT_downtime_schedules.json` — update downtime
+- `05_step5.5_DELETE_rules.json` — the BE rejection when deleting a referenced alert
+- `05_step5.6_DELETE_downtime_schedules.json` — the HTTP 409 on the referenced-downtime delete
+
+File shape:
+
+```jsonc
+{
+  "request": {
+    "method": "POST",
+    "url": "/api/v1/rules",
+    "headers": { /* verbatim */ },
+    "body": { /* parsed JSON or null */ }
+  },
+  "response": {
+    "status": 200,
+    "headers": { /* verbatim */ },
+    "body": { /* parsed JSON or text */ }
+  },
+  "step": "2.4",
+  "flow": "flow-2"
+}
+```
+
+Capture bodies verbatim — no redaction. Capture mechanics via Playwright MCP: after the action that fires the call, use `browser_network_requests` with `requestBody: true` and the endpoint regex as `filter` to capture the request. For response bodies, the simplest path is `page.on('response', ...)` before the action fires — alternatively, re-issue the call via `browser_evaluate` + `fetch` and save both sides.
+
+Rules:
+- **Only capture calls we triggered**: don't dump unrelated polling, telemetry, or preference reads.
+- **One file per call**; if a step triggers multiple calls (e.g. delete then list refetch), append `_a`, `_b` to the filename.
+- **Reference the file from `results.json`** via the `network` field — see `results-schema.md`.
+
+For `GET` refetches that fire automatically after a mutation, capture is encouraged when:
+- The response shape might change between runs (API contract drift).
+- The step's assertion depends on the response (e.g. "new row appears" → the list-refetch response tells you whether the row is really there).

+
+Produce the diff by reading both runs' `results.json` and narrating the deltas. Screenshots aren't image-diffed automatically — only flag visible differences that were observed during live driving.
+
+## Schema for `results.json`
+
+See `results-schema.md` for the exact shape. Keep step `id` values stable across runs (e.g. `1.1`, `2.7`, `4.1a`) so diffs are straightforward.
+
+## Updating this spec
+
+If a flow gains or loses steps on develop, update this file AND `results-schema.md` before the next run so the diff comparison remains meaningful. Never rename existing step IDs — only append new ones or mark old ones as `retired`.

+    "screenshots": 39
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Rules for a re-run
+
+1. **Step ids never change.** If a flow changes, append new steps (e.g. `1.7`) or mark old ones `retired`. This preserves diffability.
+2. **`result` values are from a fixed set.** `pass | fail | blocked | skipped`. Do not invent new values.
+3. **Screenshots must use the same filename pattern** as run-1 so a file-level diff remains tractable. Pattern: `<flow>_step<stepId>_<slug>.png`.
+4. **Network captures follow a parallel filename pattern.** `<flow>_step<stepId>_<METHOD>_<endpoint-slug>.json` under `run-<N>/network/`. Multiple calls per step get `_a`, `_b` suffixes. Bodies are captured verbatim (no redaction). See `SUITE.md` "Capturing API request/response bodies per step".
+5. **Observations** are separate from step results. Even if all 29 steps pass, regressions can surface as observations (e.g. a new console error not tied to a scenario).
+6. **The diff between runs is computed from `results.json`.** Always fill in every field for every step in SUITE.md, even if you didn't learn anything new — a null/missing result on a future run will look like a step was skipped. Across runs, diffing request/response payloads between corresponding `network/*.json` files is a first-class signal for API contract drift.

+# Dashboards List — Functional Checklist
+
+Route: `/dashboard` | Title: `SigNoz | All Dashboards`
+
+---
+
+## Page Load
+
+- [ ] Heading "Dashboards" and subtitle "Create and manage dashboards for your workspace." are visible
+- [ ] "Browse dashboard templates" link is visible
+- [ ] "Enter dashboard name..." input is visible (Admin / Editor only; not shown to Viewer)
+- [ ] "Search by name, description, or tags..." input is visible
+- [ ] "New dashboard" button is visible (Admin / Editor only; not shown to Viewer)
+- [ ] "All Dashboards" label and sort toggle button are visible
+- [ ] Table rows show a two-row layout: top row has thumbnail, name, tags, and action icon; bottom row has clock icon, last-updated timestamp, creator avatar, and creator email
+- [ ] URL on default load is `/dashboard` with no query parameters
+- [ ] Dashboards with more tags than fit show a `+ N` overflow indicator
+- [ ] Dashboards with no tags show a clean row (no empty tag containers)
+- [ ] If more than 20 dashboards exist, a pagination bar is shown ("1 — 20 of N")
+
+---
+
+## Search
+
+- [ ] Typing filters list by name, description, or tags in real time
+- [ ] URL updates to `?search=<term>`; navigating to that URL pre-fills search and filters list
+- [ ] Clearing search restores the full list; `search` param is removed from the URL
+- [ ] No-match search shows an empty state with no error and no broken layout
+- [ ] Search is case-insensitive
+- [ ] Searching while on page 2+ resets pagination to page 1
+
+---
+
+## Sorting
+
+- [ ] Clicking the sort toggle next to "All Dashboards" sorts the list by updated date descending
+- [ ] Clicking the sort toggle again does not flip to ascending — current behavior is descend only
+- [ ] Clicking the sort toggle does not add or change URL query parameters
+
+---
+
+## Row Actions (three-dot menu) — Admin and Editor
+
+- [ ] The action icon (`dashboard-action-icon`) is visible only for Admin and Editor; Viewer sees no action icon
+- [ ] Clicking the action icon reveals a popover with exactly five items for Admin: View, Open in New Tab, Copy Link, Export JSON, Delete dashboard
+- [ ] Clicking the action icon reveals a popover with exactly four items for Editor: View, Open in New Tab, Copy Link, Export JSON (no Delete dashboard)
+- [ ] **View** — navigates to `/dashboard/<uuid>`; breadcrumb "Dashboard /" + name visible
+- [ ] **Open in New Tab** — opens `/dashboard/<uuid>` in a new tab
+- [ ] **Copy Link** — success feedback shown; clipboard contains the dashboard URL
+- [ ] **Export JSON** — file download triggered; downloaded file is valid JSON
+- [ ] Pressing Escape closes the popover; page stays on `/dashboard`
+
+---
+
+## Creating Dashboards _(Editor / Admin only)_
+
+- [ ] Submit button is disabled when "Enter dashboard name..." input is empty
+- [ ] Typing a name enables Submit; clicking Submit navigates to `/dashboard/<uuid>` with the typed name as the dashboard title
+- [ ] **New dashboard** dropdown has exactly three items: Create dashboard, Import JSON, View templates
+- [ ] **New dashboard → Create dashboard** — navigates to a new dashboard; default title is "Sample Title"; onboarding state shows Configure and New Panel buttons
+- [ ] **New dashboard → Import JSON** — opens a dialog titled "Import Dashboard JSON" with a Monaco code editor, "Upload JSON file" button, "View templates" link, and "Import and Next" button
+- [ ] Import dialog closes on Escape or clicking ×; no dashboard is created
+- [ ] **New dashboard → View templates** — opens the external SigNoz docs templates link in a new tab
+
+---
+
+## Deleting Dashboards _(Admin only)_
+
+- [ ] Action menu → Delete dashboard shows a confirmation dialog with a level-5 heading, the dashboard name in bold/emphasis, and Cancel and Delete buttons
+- [ ] Clicking Cancel closes the dialog and navigates to the dashboard detail page (known current behavior — does not remain on the list page)
+- [ ] Clicking Delete (confirm) removes the dashboard from the list; all other dashboards are unaffected
+
+---
+
+## Navigation
+
+- [ ] Clicking a row (not the action icon) navigates to `/dashboard/<uuid>`; breadcrumb is visible
+- [ ] Sidebar "Dashboards" link navigates to `/dashboard`
+
+---
+
+## URL / Deep-link State
+
+- [ ] `/dashboard?search=PromQL` pre-fills search and filters the list on load
+- [ ] Browser Back after navigating into a dashboard restores the search state (search param preserved)
+- [ ] Sort state is not reflected in the URL and cannot be deep-linked
+
+---
+
+## Role Permissions
+
+| Action                                     | Viewer | Editor | Admin |

+# Dashboards List Page - Comprehensive Test Plan
+
+<!-- spec: tests/dashboards/dashboards-list.spec.ts -->
+<!-- seed: tests/seed.spec.ts -->
+
+## Application Overview
+
+The Dashboards list page (`/dashboard`) is the central hub for managing observability dashboards in SigNoz. It provides:
+
+- **Dashboard Listing**: A table displaying all dashboards with a thumbnail image, name, tags, last-updated timestamp, and creator avatar initial + email
+- **Inline Quick Create**: A "Enter dashboard name..." text field followed by a disabled "Submit" button that enables once text is entered, allowing rapid dashboard creation without a modal
+- **New Dashboard Dropdown**: A "New dashboard" button that expands a dropdown menu to offer three options: "Create dashboard", "Import JSON", and "View templates" (external link)
+- **Search**: A "Search by name, description, or tags..." input that filters the list in real time and reflects the query in the URL
+- **Sorting**: A sort control (icon button) adjacent to the "All Dashboards" label that controls display order; currently the sort only applies `descend` order and does not update the URL
+- **Per-row Action Menu**: A three-dot action icon (`dashboard-action-icon`) on each row, revealed via interaction, that opens a popover with: View, Open in New Tab, Copy Link, Export JSON, and Delete dashboard
+- **Delete Confirmation Dialog**: A modal that requires confirmation before deleting, showing the dashboard name in the prompt with "Cancel" and "Delete" buttons
+- **Import JSON Dialog**: A modal with a Monaco code editor, "Upload JSON file" button, "View templates" link, and "Import and Next" button
+- **Pagination**: 20 dashboards per page with a pagination bar showing item range and page navigation
+- **URL State Synchronization**: Search term is reflected in the URL query string
+
+**Route**: `/dashboard`
+
+**Page Title**: `SigNoz | All Dashboards`
+
+**URL State Parameters**:
+- `search` — active search query (reflected in URL when a search is typed)
+
+**Row Data Fields** (two visual sections per row):
+- Section 1: Dashboard thumbnail image (alt: `dashboard-image`), dashboard name, tags (displayed as pills; overflow shown as `+ N`), and three-dot action icon
+- Section 2: Clock icon, last-updated timestamp (format: `MMM DD, YYYY ⎯ HH:mm:ss (UTC ±HH:MM)`), creator avatar initial, and creator email
+
+**Pagination**: 20 items per page; pagination bar shows `N — 20 of total` and page number buttons
+
+## User Role Permissions
+
+- **@viewer**: Can view the dashboard list, search, sort, and navigate into dashboards; cannot create or delete; "Enter dashboard name..." input, "Submit" button, and "New dashboard" button are hidden; three-dot action icon is hidden
+- **@editor**: Can create dashboards (inline, via dropdown, via JSON import); three-dot action menu is visible but "Delete dashboard" is not available; cannot delete
+- **@admin**: Full access — all viewer and editor capabilities plus delete

+- The `dashboard-action-icon` data-testid is the locator for the three-dot row action menu trigger
+- Clicking "Cancel" in the delete confirmation dialog navigates to the dashboard detail page rather than returning to the list — tests should use the "Delete" button for actual delete flows
+- The delete confirmation dialog uses `heading[level=5]` with the text "Are you sure you want to delete the [Name] dashboard?"
+- The "View templates" entry in the New dashboard dropdown is rendered as a menu item containing a `link` element pointing to `https://signoz.io/docs/dashboards/dashboard-templates/overview/`

+- All roles with `type: "custom"` appear under "Custom roles" section (custom-role-ui)
+- Custom roles section header shows count in format: "Custom roles 1" (with or without space between "roles" and the number)
+- Managed roles section header does NOT show count
+- Sections are visually distinct and well-organized
+- No roles appear in wrong sections
+
+### 4. Search Functionality
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 4.1 Search Roles by Name **[@admin]**
+
+**Pre-conditions:**
+
+- Multiple roles exist with distinct names
+- Example roles: "Admin", "Editor", "Viewer", "DevOps Engineer", "Security Analyst"
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Navigate to roles listing page
+2. Enter a role name in the search box (e.g., "Admin")
+3. Observe filtered results
+4. Clear search and verify all roles reappear
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Search filters roles in real-time as user types
+- Only roles with names matching the search query are displayed
+- Search is case-insensitive (searching "admin" matches "Admin")
+- Partial matches are supported (searching "Dev" matches "DevOps Engineer")
+- Roles that don't match are hidden
+- Clearing search returns full list of roles
+- Role categorization (managed/custom sections) is maintained in search results
+- Pagination updates based on filtered results
+
+#### 4.2 Search Roles by Description **[@admin]**
+
+**Pre-conditions:**
+
+- Roles have descriptive text in description field
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Navigate to roles listing page
+2. Enter descriptive keywords in search box
+3. Verify roles with matching descriptions appear
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Search matches text in role descriptions
+- Roles with matching description keywords are displayed
+- Both name and description fields are searched simultaneously
+- Search is case-insensitive for descriptions
+- Partial matches work in descriptions
+- Roles can be found by either name or description
+
+#### 4.3 Search with No Results **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Navigate to roles listing page
+2. Enter search term that matches no roles (e.g., "NonExistentRole123")
+3. Observe results
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Empty state message displays: "No roles match your search."
+- Message is different from general empty state ("No roles found.")
+- No table rows are visible
+- Search input remains functional
+- User can clear search to return to full list
+- No errors or broken UI elements
+- Pagination is hidden when no results
+
+#### 4.4 Search Case Sensitivity **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Search using uppercase, lowercase, and mixed case
+2. Verify search behavior across different cases
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Search is consistently case-insensitive
+- "ADMIN", "admin", "Admin" all return same results
+- Case of search query doesn't affect results
+- UI provides consistent search experience
+
+### 5. Pagination Functionality
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 5.1 Navigate Between Pages **[@admin]**
+
+**Pre-conditions:**
+
+- More than 20 roles exist in the system (to trigger multiple pages)
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Navigate to roles listing page
+2. Verify pagination controls are visible at bottom
+3. Note roles displayed on page 1
+4. Click "Next" or page "2" in pagination
+5. Observe roles on page 2
+6. Click "Previous" or page "1"
+7. Return to page 1
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Pagination controls are visible when total roles > 20
+- First page shows first 20 roles
+- Second page shows next set of roles
+- Page numbers are accurate and clickable
+- Current page is highlighted/indicated
+- Previous button is disabled on first page
+- Next button is disabled on last page
+- Clicking specific page numbers navigates correctly
+- URL updates with page parameter: `?page=2`
+- Roles don't duplicate across pages
+- Section headers (Managed/Custom) appear appropriately on each page
+
+#### 5.2 Pagination with Search Results **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Perform search that yields more than 20 results
+2. Verify pagination works with filtered results
+3. Navigate between pages while search is active
+4. Clear search and verify pagination resets
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Pagination updates based on filtered result count
+- Can navigate through multiple pages of search results
+- Page numbers reflect filtered result count
+- Clearing search resets pagination to full dataset
+- Page parameter in URL persists during search
+- Filtered results maintain proper section categorization
+
+#### 5.3 Pagination State Persistence **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Navigate to page 2 or 3
+2. Refresh the browser
+3. Verify page state is maintained
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- URL contains page parameter: `?page=2`
+- After refresh, user remains on same page
+- Page state persists across browser sessions
+- Correct roles are displayed after refresh
+- Pagination controls reflect current page
+
+### 6. Loading and Error States
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 6.1 Verify Loading State **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Intercept API call to delay response
+2. Navigate to roles listing page
+3. Observe loading state behavior
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Loading skeleton is displayed while fetching roles
+- Skeleton shows placeholder for table structure
+- Loading state includes animated placeholders
+- Page remains functional during loading
+- No content flashing or layout shifts
+- Loading transitions smoothly to loaded state
+- At least 5 skeleton rows are displayed
+
+#### 6.2 Handle API Error State **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Mock API to return error response (500, 503, etc.)
+2. Navigate to roles listing page
+3. Observe error handling
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Error component is displayed: `ErrorInPlace`
+- Error message is user-friendly and informative
+- Default error message: "An unexpected error occurred while fetching roles."
+- Specific API errors are handled appropriately
+- Page layout remains intact during error state
+- No application crash or white screen
+- User understands what went wrong
+
+#### 6.3 Handle Network Failure **[@admin]**
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. Simulate network disconnection
+2. Navigate to roles listing page
+3. Observe behavior
+
+**Expected Results:**
+
+- Appropriate error message for network issues
+- User is informed of network problem
+- Page remains stable (no crash)
+- Retry mechanism may be available (if implemented)
+- Error is distinguishable from other errors
+
+## Quality Standards
+
+- **Reproducibility**: All scenarios can be executed independently and repeatedly
+- **Clarity**: Steps are specific enough for any tester to follow without ambiguity
+- **Coverage**: Scenarios cover happy path, edge cases, error conditions, and security aspects
+- **Traceability**: Each test links back to specific roles listing functionality
+- **Automation-Ready**: Steps are written to facilitate Playwright test automation
+
+## Environment Setup
+
+- **Prerequisites**: Valid SigNoz workspace with admin access
+- **Test Data**: mix of managed and custom roles
+- **User Accounts**: Test users with different permission levels (admin, editor, viewer)
+- **Feature Flags**: `IS_ROLE_DETAILS_AND_CRUD_ENABLED` set appropriately for each test
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+- All role listing functionality works correctly for admin users
+- Non-admin users are properly restricted from accessing roles page
+- API data accurately reflects in the UI with proper formatting
+- Search and pagination handle large datasets efficiently
+- Loading and error states provide appropriate user feedback
+- Accessibility standards are met for keyboard and screen reader users
+- Security measures prevent unauthorized access and data exposure
+- URL state synchronization works correctly with browser navigation
+- Performance remains acceptable with 100+ roles
+- Feature flag correctly controls role details navigation behavior
+
+## Notes
+
+- The roles listing is read-only (no CRUD operations in current scope)
+- Role details page navigation is feature-flagged (currently disabled)
+- API requires admin role authentication (SecuritySchemes: RoleAdmin)
+- Pagination shows 20 roles per page (PAGE_SIZE constant)
+- Role types are case-insensitive: "managed" and "custom"
+- Timestamps use timezone-adjusted formatting based on user preferences
+- Description field supports line-clamping with tooltip for long text
