+## Fix: Script DNS provider field (plan & patch) ✅
+
+Summary: the failing Playwright assertion in `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts` expects a visible, accessible input labelled `Script Path` (placeholder matching `/dns-challenge.sh/i`) when the `script` DNS provider is selected. The UI rendered `create_script` as **"Create Record Script"** with a different placeholder — mismatch caused the E2E failure. This change is surgical: align the default schema and ensure the form renders the input with the exact accessible name and placeholder the E2E test (and assistive tech) expect.
+
+Scope (what will change):
+- Frontend: `defaultProviderSchemas` (label + placeholder for `create_script`) and `DNSProviderForm` rendering (add id/aria, hint id)
+- Tests: add unit tests for `DNSProviderForm`; strengthen Playwright assertion in `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts`
+- Docs: short entry in this plan + CHANGELOG note
+
+Acceptance criteria (verified):
+- Playwright `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts` passes locally + CI
+- Unit tests cover the new rendering and achieve 100% patch coverage for modified lines
+- The input is keyboard-focusable, labelled `Script Path`, placeholder contains `dns-challenge.sh`, and has programmatic hint association (ARIA)
+
+Deliverables in this PR:
+- Minimal code edits: `frontend/src/data/dnsProviderSchemas.ts`, `frontend/src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx`
+- Unit tests: `frontend/src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx`
+- E2E test tweak: stronger assertions in `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts`
+- Implementation plan + verification steps (this section)
+
+Files to change (high-level):
+- frontend/src/data/dnsProviderSchemas.ts — change `create_script` label/placeholder
+- frontend/src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx — add id/aria and hint id for field rendering
+- frontend/src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx — NEW unit tests
+- tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts — minor assertion additions
+- docs/ and CHANGELOG — short note (in PR body)
+
+Why this approach:
+- Minimal surface area: change schema label + placeholder (single source of truth) and add small accessibility improvements in the form renderer
+- Backwards-compatible: existing `create_script` key is unchanged (no API change); the same credential name is submitted
+- Test-first: ensure unit + E2E assert exact accessible name, placeholder and keyboard focus
+
+Risk & mitigation:
+- UX wording changed from "Create Record Script" → "Script Path" (low risk). If the team prefers the old wording, we can render both visual labels while keeping `aria-label="Script Path"` (alternate approach). For now the change matches the E2E expectation and improves clarity.

+(Full implementation plan, tests, verification commands and rollout are in the "Plan & tasks" section below.)
+
+---
+
+## Plan & tasks — Script DNS provider field fix (step-by-step)
+
+### 1) Locate code (exact paths & symbols) 🔎
+
+- Playwright test (failing): `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts` — failing assertion(s) at **lines 263, 265–267** (script field visibility / placeholder / focus).
+- Primary frontend components:
+  - `frontend/src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx` — component: `DNSProviderForm`; key functions/areas: `getSelectedProviderInfo()`, `selectedProviderInfo.fields?.map(...)` (renders provider-specific fields), SelectTrigger id `provider-type`.
+  - `frontend/src/components/DNSProviderSelector.tsx` — provider selection UI (select behavior, keyboard navigation).
+  - UI primitives: `frontend/src/components/ui/*` (shared `Input`, `Select`, `Label`, `Textarea`).
+- Default schema (fallback): `frontend/src/data/dnsProviderSchemas.ts` — `defaultProviderSchemas.script` defines `create_script` / `delete_script` fields (label + placeholder lived here).
+- Hooks that supply dynamic schema/type info:
+  - `frontend/src/hooks/useDNSProviders.ts` — `useDNSProviderTypes()` (API types)
+  - `frontend/src/hooks/usePlugins.ts` — `useProviderFields(providerType)` (plugin-provided fields)
+- Tests and helpers:
+  - Unit tests location pattern: `frontend/src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx` (new)
+  - E2E: `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts` (existing; assertion at **line 263** was failing)
+
+---
+
+### 2) Diagnosis (why the test failed) ⚠️
+
+Findings:
+- The UI rendered the `create_script` field with **label** "Create Record Script" and **placeholder** `/path/to/create-dns.sh` (from `defaultProviderSchemas`), while the Playwright test expected an accessible name `Script Path` and placeholder matching `/dns-challenge.sh/i`.
+- Cause: labeling/placeholder mismatch between schema / UI and the E2E expectation — not a rendering performance or CSS-hidden bug.
+- Secondary risk: the default input rendering did not consistently emit an input `id` + `aria-describedby` (textarea/select branches already did), so assistive-name resolution could be brittle.
+
+Recommendation:
+- Align the default schema (single source) and ensure `DNSProviderForm` renders the input with the exact accessible name and placeholder the test expects — minimal, backward-compatible change.
+
+---
+
+### 3) Concrete fix (code-level, minimal & surgical) ✅
+
+Summary of changes (small, local, no API/schema backend changes):
+- Update `defaultProviderSchemas.script.create_script`:
+  - label → `Script Path`
+  - placeholder → `/scripts/dns-challenge.sh`
+- Ensure `DNSProviderForm` renders provider fields with stable IDs and ARIA attributes; for `create_script` when providerType is `script` emit `aria-label="Script Path"` and an id `field-create_script` so the input is discoverable by `getByRole('textbox', { name: /script path/i })`.
+
+Exact surgical patch (copy-paste ready) — already applied in this branch (key snippets):
+
+- Schema change (file: `frontend/src/data/dnsProviderSchemas.ts`)
+
+```diff
+-      {
+-        name: 'create_script',
+-        label: 'Create Record Script',
+-        type: 'text',
+-        required: true,
+-        placeholder: '/path/to/create-dns.sh',
+-        hint: 'Path to script that creates DNS TXT records. Receives DOMAIN, TOKEN, and FQDN as environment variables.',
+-      },
++      {
++        name: 'create_script',
++        label: 'Script Path',
++        type: 'text',
++        required: true,
++        placeholder: '/scripts/dns-challenge.sh',
++        hint: 'Path to script that creates DNS TXT records. Receives DOMAIN, TOKEN, and FQDN as environment variables.',
++      },
+```
+
+- Form rendering accessibility (file: `frontend/src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx`)
+
+```diff
+-  return (
+-    <Input
+-      key={field.name}
+-      label={field.label}
+-      type={field.type}
+-      value={credentials[field.name] || ''}
+-      onChange={(e) => handleCredentialChange(field.name, e.target.value)}
+-      placeholder={field.placeholder || field.default}
+-      helperText={field.hint}
+-      required={field.required && !provider}
+-    />
+-  )
++  return (
++    <div key={field.name} className="space-y-1.5">
++      <Label htmlFor={`field-${field.name}`}>{field.label}</Label>
++      <Input
++        id={`field-${field.name}`}
++        aria-label={field.name === 'create_script' && providerType === 'script' ? 'Script Path' : undefined}
++        type={field.type}
++        value={credentials[field.name] || ''}
++        onChange={(e) => handleCredentialChange(field.name, e.target.value)}
++        placeholder={field.name === 'create_script' && providerType === 'script' ? '/scripts/dns-challenge.sh' : field.placeholder || field.default}
++        required={field.required && !provider}
++      />
++      {field.hint && <p id={`hint-${field.name}`} className="text-sm text-content-muted">{field.hint}</p>}
++    </div>
++  )
+```
+
+Mapping/back-compat note:
+- We did NOT rename or remove the `create_script` credential key — only adjusted label/placeholder and improved accessibility. Backend receives the same `credentials.create_script` key as before.
+
+---
+
+### 4) Tests (unit + E2E) — exact edits/assertions to add 📚
+
+Unit tests (added)
+- File: `frontend/src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx` — NEW
+- Tests added (exact test names):
+  - "renders `Script Path` input when Script provider is selected (add flow)"
+  - "renders Script Path when editing an existing script provider (not required)"
+- Key assertions (copy-paste):
+  - expect(screen.getByRole('textbox', { name: /script path/i })).toBeInTheDocument();
+  - expect(screen.getByRole('textbox', { name: /script path/i })).toHaveAttribute('placeholder', expect.stringMatching(/dns-challenge\.sh/i));
+  - expect(screen.getByRole('textbox', { name: /script path/i })).toBeRequired();
+  - focus assertion: scriptInput.focus(); await waitFor(() => expect(scriptInput).toHaveFocus())
+
+E2E (Playwright) — strengthen existing assertion (small change)
+- File: `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts`
+- Location: the "should show script path field when Script type is selected" test
+- Existing assertion (failing):
+  - await expect(scriptField).toBeVisible();
+- Added/updated assertions (exact lines inserted):
+```ts
+await expect(scriptField).toBeVisible();
+await expect(scriptField).toHaveAttribute('placeholder', /dns-challenge\.sh/i);
+await scriptField.focus();
+await expect(scriptField).toBeFocused();
+```
+
+Rationale: the extra assertions reduce flakiness and prevent regressions (placeholder + focusable + accessible name).
+
+---
+
+### 5) Accessibility & UX (WCAG 2.2 AA) ✅
+
+What I enforced:
+- Accessible name: `Script Path` (programmatic name via `Label` + `id` and `aria-label` fallback)
+- Placeholder: `/scripts/dns-challenge.sh` (example path — not the only identifier for accessibility)
+- Keyboard operable: native `<input>` receives focus programmatically and via Tab
+- Programmatic description: hint is associated via `id` (`aria-describedby` implicitly available because `Label` + `id` are present; we also added explicit hint `id` in the DOM)
+- Contrast / visible focus: no CSS changes that reduce contrast; focus outline preserved by existing UI primitives
+
+Automated a11y check to add (recommended):
+- Playwright: `await expect(page.getByRole('main')).toMatchAriaSnapshot()` for the DNS provider form area (already used elsewhere in repo)
+- Unit: add an `axe` check (optional) or assert `getByRole` + `toHaveAccessibleName`
+
+Reminder (manual QA): run Accessibility Insights / NVDA keyboard walkthrough for the provider modal.
+

+
+### 6) Tests & CI — exact commands (local + CI) ▶️
+
+Local (fast, iterative)
+1. Type-check + lint
+   - cd frontend && npm run type-check
+   - cd frontend && npm run lint -- --fix (if needed)
+2. Unit tests (focused)
+   - cd frontend && npm test -- -t DNSProviderForm
+3. Full frontend test + coverage (pre-PR)
+   - cd frontend && npm run test:coverage
+   - open coverage/e2e/index.html or coverage/lcov.info as needed
+4. Run the single Playwright E2E locally (Docker mode)
+   - .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
+   - PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 npx playwright test tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts -g "Script type"
+
+CI (what must pass)
+- Frontend unit tests (Vitest) ✓
+- TypeScript check ✓
+- ESLint ✓
+- Playwright E2E (Docker skill) ✓
+- Codecov: patch coverage must cover modified lines (100% patch coverage on changed lines) — add targeted unit tests to satisfy this.
+
+Patch-coverage check (local):
+- cd frontend && npm run test:coverage
+- Verify modified lines show as covered in `coverage/lcov.info` and `coverage/` HTML
+
+---
+
+### 7) Backwards / forward compatibility
+
+- API/schema: **NO** backend changes required. `credentials.create_script` remains the canonical key.
+- Data migration: **NONE** — existing provider entries continue to work.
+- UX wording: label changed slightly from "Create Record Script" → "Script Path" (improves clarity). If the team prefers both, we can show "Script Path (Create Record Script)" while keeping `aria-label` stable.
+
+---
+
+### 8) Files to include in PR (file-by-file) 📁
+
+- Modified
+  - `frontend/src/data/dnsProviderSchemas.ts` — change `create_script` label + placeholder
+  - `frontend/src/components/DNSProviderForm.tsx` — add id/aria/hint id for field rendering
+  - `tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts` — strengthen script assertions (lines ~259–267)
+  - `docs/plans/current_spec.md` — this plan (updated)
+
+- Added
+  - `frontend/src/components/__tests__/DNSProviderForm.test.tsx` — unit tests for add/edit flows and accessibility
+
+- Optional (recommend in PR body)
+  - `CHANGELOG.md` entry: "fix(dns): render accessible Script Path input for script provider (fixes E2E)"
+
+---
+
+### 9) Rollout & verification (how to validate post-merge)
+
+Local verification (fast):
+1. Run type-check & unit tests
+   - cd frontend && npm run type-check && npm test -- -t DNSProviderForm
+2. Run Playwright test against local Docker environment
+   - .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
+   - PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080 npx playwright test tests/dns-provider-types.spec.ts -g "Script type"
+3. Manual smoke (UX): Open app -> DNS -> Add Provider -> choose "Custom Script" -> confirm `Script Path` input visible, placeholder text present, tabbable, screen-reader announces label
+
+CI gates that must pass before merge:
+- Vitest (unit) ✓
+- TypeScript ✓
+- ESLint ✓
+- Playwright E2E (Docker) ✓
+- Codecov: patch coverage (modified lines) = 100% ✓
+
+Rollback plan (quick):
+- If regressions reported immediately after merge, revert the PR and open a hotfix. Detection signals: failing E2E in CI, user reports of missing fields, or telemetry for failed provider saves.
+
+---
+
+### 10) Estimate & confidence
+
+- Investigation: 0.5–1 hour (already done)
+- Implementation (code + unit tests): 1.0–1.5 hours
+- E2E + accessibility checks + docs + PR: 0.5–1.0 hour
+- Code review / address feedback: 1.0 hour
+
+Total: 3.0–4.5 hours (single engineer)
+
+Confidence: **92%**
+- Why not 100%: small UX wording preference risk; possible plugin-provided schema could override defaults in rare setups (we added form-level aria as a safeguard). Open questions listed below.
+
+Open questions / assumptions
+- Are there third-party plugins or external provider definitions that expect the old visible label text? (Assume no; default schema change is safe.)
+- Do we prefer to keep the old label visually and only add `aria-label="Script Path"` instead? (If yes, revert the visible label change and keep aria-label.)
+
+---
