+# Docker: Rebuild E2E Environment
+
+## Overview
+
+Rebuilds the Charon Docker image and restarts the Playwright E2E testing environment with fresh code. This skill handles the complete lifecycle: stopping existing containers, optionally cleaning volumes, rebuilding the image, and starting fresh containers with health check verification.
+
+**Use this skill when:**
+- You've made code changes and need to test them in E2E tests
+- E2E tests are failing due to stale container state
+- You need a clean slate for debugging
+- The container is in an inconsistent state
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker Engine installed and running
+- Docker Compose V2 installed
+- Dockerfile in repository root
+- `.docker/compose/docker-compose.playwright.yml` file
+- Network access for pulling base images (if needed)
+- Sufficient disk space for image rebuild
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Usage
+
+Rebuild image and restart E2E container:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
+```
+
+### Force Rebuild (No Cache)
+
+Rebuild from scratch without Docker cache:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --no-cache
+```
+
+### Clean Rebuild
+
+Remove test volumes and rebuild with fresh state:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --clean
+```
+
+### With Security Testing Services
+
+Enable CrowdSec for security testing:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --profile=security-tests
+```
+
+### With Notification Testing Services
+
+Enable MailHog for email testing:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --profile=notification-tests
+```
+
+### Full Clean Rebuild with All Services
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --no-cache --clean --profile=security-tests
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| no-cache  | boolean | No | false | Force rebuild without Docker cache |
+| clean     | boolean | No | false | Remove test volumes for fresh state |
+| profile   | string | No | "" | Docker Compose profile to enable |
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| DOCKER_NO_CACHE | No | false | Force rebuild without cache |
+| SKIP_VOLUME_CLEANUP | No | false | Preserve test data volumes |
+
+## What This Skill Does
+
+1. **Stop Existing Containers**: Gracefully stops any running Playwright containers
+2. **Clean Volumes** (if `--clean`): Removes test data volumes for fresh state
+3. **Rebuild Image**: Builds `charon:local` image from Dockerfile
+4. **Start Containers**: Starts the Playwright compose environment
+5. **Wait for Health**: Verifies container health before returning
+6. **Report Status**: Outputs container status and connection info
+
+## Docker Compose Configuration
+
+This skill uses `.docker/compose/docker-compose.playwright.yml` which includes:
+
+- **charon-app**: Main application container on port 8080
+- **crowdsec** (profile: security-tests): Security bouncer for WAF testing
+- **mailhog** (profile: notification-tests): Email testing service
+
+### Volumes Created
+
+| Volume | Purpose |
+|--------|---------|
+| playwright_data | Application data and SQLite database |
+| playwright_caddy_data | Caddy server data |
+| playwright_caddy_config | Caddy configuration |
+| playwright_crowdsec_data | CrowdSec data (if enabled) |
+| playwright_crowdsec_config | CrowdSec config (if enabled) |
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Quick Rebuild After Code Change
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild and restart after making backend changes
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
+
+# Run E2E tests
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright
+```
+
+### Example 2: Debug Failing Tests with Clean State
+
+```bash
+# Complete clean rebuild
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --clean --no-cache
+
+# Run specific test in debug mode
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --grep="failing-test"
+```
+
+### Example 3: Test Security Features
+
+```bash
+# Start with CrowdSec enabled
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --profile=security-tests
+
+# Run security-related E2E tests
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright --grep="security"
+```
+
+## Health Check Verification
+
+After starting, the skill waits for the health check to pass:
+
+```bash
+# Health endpoint checked
+curl -sf http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health
+```
+
+The skill will:
+- Wait up to 60 seconds for container to be healthy
+- Check every 5 seconds
+- Report final health status
+- Exit with error if health check fails
+
+## Error Handling
+
+### Common Issues
+
+#### Docker Build Failed
+```
+Error: docker build failed
+```
+**Solution**: Check Dockerfile syntax, ensure all COPY sources exist
+
+#### Port Already in Use
+```
+Error: bind: address already in use
+```
+**Solution**: Stop conflicting services on port 8080
+
+#### Health Check Timeout
+```
+Error: Container did not become healthy in 60s
+```
+**Solution**: Check container logs with `docker logs charon-playwright`
+
+#### Volume Permission Issues
+```
+Error: permission denied
+```
+**Solution**: Run with `--clean` to recreate volumes with proper permissions
+
+## Verifying the Environment
+
+After the skill completes, verify the environment:
+
+```bash
+# Check container status
+docker ps --filter "name=charon-playwright"
+
+# Check logs
+docker logs charon-playwright --tail 50
+
+# Test health endpoint
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health
+
+# Check database state
+docker exec charon-playwright sqlite3 /app/data/charon.db ".tables"
+```

+## Key File Locations
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `Dockerfile` | Main application Dockerfile |
+| `.docker/compose/docker-compose.playwright.yml` | E2E test compose config |
+| `playwright.config.js` | Playwright test configuration |
+| `tests/` | E2E test files |
+| `playwright/.auth/user.json` | Stored authentication state |
+
+## Notes
+
+- **Build Time**: Full rebuild takes 2-5 minutes depending on cache
+- **Disk Space**: Image is ~500MB, volumes add ~100MB
+- **Network**: Base images may need to be pulled on first run
+- **Idempotent**: Safe to run multiple times
+- **CI/CD Safe**: Designed for use in automated pipelines

+# Test E2E Playwright Debug
+
+## Overview
+
+Runs Playwright E2E tests in headed/debug mode for troubleshooting. This skill provides enhanced debugging capabilities including:
+
+- **Headed Mode**: Visible browser window to watch test execution
+- **Slow Motion**: Configurable delay between actions for observation
+- **Playwright Inspector**: Step-by-step debugging with breakpoints
+- **Trace Collection**: Always captures traces for post-mortem analysis
+- **Single Test Focus**: Run individual tests or test files
+
+**Use this skill when:**
+- Debugging failing E2E tests
+- Understanding test flow and interactions
+- Developing new E2E tests
+- Investigating flaky tests
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js 18.0 or higher installed and in PATH
+- Playwright browsers installed (`npx playwright install chromium`)
+- Charon application running at localhost:8080 (use `docker-rebuild-e2e` skill)
+- Display available (X11 or Wayland on Linux, native on macOS)
+- Test files in `tests/` directory
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Debug Mode
+
+Run all tests in headed mode with slow motion:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug
+```
+
+### Debug Specific Test File
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --file=login.spec.ts
+```
+
+### Debug Test by Name Pattern
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --grep="should login with valid credentials"
+```
+
+### With Playwright Inspector
+
+Open the Playwright Inspector for step-by-step debugging:
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --inspector
+```
+
+### Custom Slow Motion
+
+Adjust the delay between actions (in milliseconds):
+
+```bash
+# Slower for detailed observation
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --slowmo=1000
+
+# Faster but still visible
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --slowmo=200
+```
+
+### Different Browser
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --project=firefox
+```
+
+### Combined Options
+
+```bash
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug \
+    --file=dashboard.spec.ts \
+    --grep="navigation" \
+    --slowmo=750 \
+    --project=chromium
+```
+
+## Parameters
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| file      | string | No | "" | Specific test file to run |
+| grep      | string | No | "" | Filter tests by title pattern |
+| slowmo    | number | No | 500 | Delay between actions (ms) |
+| inspector | boolean | No | false | Open Playwright Inspector |
+| project   | string | No | chromium | Browser to use |
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
+|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL | No | http://localhost:8080 | Application URL |
+| PWDEBUG | No | "" | Set to "1" for Inspector mode |
+| DEBUG | No | "" | Verbose logging (e.g., "pw:api") |
+
+## Debugging Techniques
+
+### Using Playwright Inspector
+
+The Inspector provides:
+- **Step-through Execution**: Execute one action at a time
+- **Locator Playground**: Test and refine selectors
+- **Call Log**: View all Playwright API calls
+- **Console**: Access browser console
+
+```bash
+# Enable Inspector
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --inspector
+```
+
+In the Inspector:
+1. Use **Resume** to continue to next action
+2. Use **Step** to execute one action
+3. Use the **Locator** tab to test selectors
+4. Check **Console** for JavaScript errors
+
+### Adding Breakpoints in Tests
+
+Add `await page.pause()` in your test code:
+
+```typescript
+test('debug this test', async ({ page }) => {
+    await page.goto('/');
+    await page.pause(); // Opens Inspector here
+    await page.click('button');
+});
+```
+
+### Verbose Logging
+
+Enable detailed Playwright API logging:
+
+```bash
+DEBUG=pw:api .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug
+```
+
+### Screenshot on Failure
+
+Tests automatically capture screenshots on failure. Find them in:
+```
+test-results/<test-name>/
+├── test-failed-1.png
+├── trace.zip
+└── ...
+```
+
+## Analyzing Traces
+
+Traces are always captured in debug mode. View them with:
+
+```bash
+# Open trace viewer for a specific test
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
+
+# Or view in browser
+npx playwright show-trace --port 9322
+```
+
+Traces include:
+- DOM snapshots at each step
+- Network requests/responses
+- Console logs
+- Screenshots
+- Action timeline
+
+## Examples
+
+### Example 1: Debug Login Flow
+
+```bash
+# Rebuild environment with clean state
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --clean
+
+# Debug login tests
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug \
+    --file=login.spec.ts \
+    --slowmo=800
+```
+
+### Example 2: Investigate Flaky Test
+
+```bash
+# Run with Inspector to step through
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug \
+    --grep="flaky test name" \
+    --inspector
+
+# After identifying the issue, view the trace
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/*/trace.zip
+```
+
+### Example 3: Develop New Test
+
+```bash
+# Run in headed mode while developing
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug \
+    --file=new-feature.spec.ts \
+    --slowmo=500
+```
+
+### Example 4: Cross-Browser Debug
+
+```bash
+# Debug in Firefox
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug \
+    --project=firefox \
+    --grep="cross-browser issue"
+```
+
+## Test File Locations
+
+| Path | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `tests/` | All E2E test files |
+| `tests/auth.setup.ts` | Authentication setup |
+| `tests/login.spec.ts` | Login flow tests |
+| `tests/dashboard.spec.ts` | Dashboard tests |
+| `tests/dns-records.spec.ts` | DNS management tests |
+| `playwright/.auth/` | Stored auth state |
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Browser Window Opens
+
+**Linux**: Ensure X11/Wayland display is available
+```bash
+echo $DISPLAY  # Should show :0 or similar
+```
+
+**Remote/SSH**: Use X11 forwarding or VNC
+```bash
+ssh -X user@host
+```
+
+**WSL2**: Install and configure WSLg or X server
+
+### Test Times Out
+
+Increase timeout for debugging:
+```bash
+# In your test file
+test.setTimeout(120000); // 2 minutes
+```
+
+### Inspector Doesn't Open
+
+Ensure PWDEBUG is set:
+```bash
+PWDEBUG=1 npx playwright test --headed
+```
+
+### Cannot Find Test File
+
+Check the file exists:
+```bash
+ls -la tests/*.spec.ts
+```
+
+Use relative path from tests/ directory:
+```bash
+--file=login.spec.ts  # Not tests/login.spec.ts
+```
+
+## Common Issues and Solutions
+
+| Issue | Solution |
+|-------|----------|
+| "Target closed" | Application crashed - check container logs |
+| "Element not found" | Use Inspector to verify selector |
+| "Timeout exceeded" | Increase timeout or check if element is hidden |
+| "Net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED" | Ensure Docker container is running |
+| Flaky test | Add explicit waits or use Inspector to find race condition |

+
+## Notes
+
+- **Not CI/CD Safe**: Headed mode requires a display
+- **Resource Usage**: Browser windows consume significant memory
+- **Slow Motion**: Default 500ms delay; adjust based on needs
+- **Traces**: Always captured for post-mortem analysis
+- **Single Worker**: Runs one test at a time for clarity

+### Quick Start: Ensure E2E Environment is Ready
+
+Before running tests, ensure the Docker E2E environment is running:
+
+```bash
+# Start/rebuild E2E Docker container (recommended before testing)
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e
+
+# Or for a complete clean rebuild:
+.github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --clean --no-cache
+```

+```
+
+## Troubleshooting Workflow
+
+When E2E tests fail, follow this workflow:
+
+1. **Check container health**:
+   ```bash
+   docker ps --filter "name=charon-playwright"
+   docker logs charon-playwright --tail 50
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify the application is accessible**:
+   ```bash
+   curl -sf http://localhost:8080/api/v1/health
+   ```
+
+3. **Rebuild with clean state if needed**:
+   ```bash
+   .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh docker-rebuild-e2e --clean
+   ```
+
+4. **Debug specific failing test**:
+   ```bash
+   .github/skills/scripts/skill-runner.sh test-e2e-playwright-debug --grep="test name"
+   ```
+
+5. **View the HTML report for details**:
+   ```bash
+   npx playwright show-report --port 9323
+   ```

-**Goal:** Test cross-feature interactions, edge cases, and provide buffer for overruns
+**Status:** 📋 PLANNED
+**Goal:** Verify cross-feature interactions, system-level workflows, and end-to-end data integrity
+**Estimated Effort:** 5 days (3 days integration tests + 2 days buffer/stabilization)
+**Total Estimated Tests:** 85-105 tests
 
-**Estimated Effort:** 5 days (3 days testing + 2 days buffer)
+> **Planning Note:** Integration tests verify that multiple features work correctly together.
+> Unlike unit or feature tests that isolate functionality, integration tests exercise
+> realistic user workflows that span multiple components and data relationships.
 
-**Test Files:**
-- `tests/integration/proxy-acl-integration.spec.ts` - Proxy + ACL
-- `tests/integration/proxy-certificate.spec.ts` - Proxy + SSL
-- `tests/integration/security-suite-integration.spec.ts` - Full security stack
-- `tests/integration/backup-restore-e2e.spec.ts` - Full backup cycle
+> **Prerequisites (Supervisor Requirement):**
+> - ✅ Phase 5 complete with Backup/Restore and Import tests passing
+> - ✅ All Phase 7 remediation fixes applied (toast detection, API path corrections)
+> - ✅ CI pipeline stable with <5% flaky test rate
+> - ✅ All API endpoints verified against actual backend routes (see API Path Verification below)
 
-**Key Scenarios:**
-- Create proxy host with ACL and SSL certificate
-- Test security stack: WAF + CrowdSec + Rate Limiting
-- Full backup → Restore → Verify all data intact
-- Multi-feature workflows (e.g., import Caddyfile + enable security)

+#### 6.0 Phase 6 Overview & Objectives
+
+**Primary Objectives:**
+1. **Cross-Feature Validation:** Verify that interconnected features (Proxy + ACL + Certificate + Security) function correctly when combined
+2. **Data Integrity Verification:** Ensure backup/restore preserves all data relationships and configurations
+3. **Security Stack Integration:** Validate the complete Cerberus security suite working as a unified system
+4. **Real-World Workflow Testing:** Test complex user journeys that span multiple features
+5. **System Resilience:** Verify graceful handling of edge cases, failures, and recovery scenarios
+
+**API Path Verification (Supervisor Requirement):**
+
+> ⚠️ **CRITICAL:** Before implementing any Phase 6 test, cross-reference all API endpoints against actual backend routes.
+> Phase 7 documented API path mismatches (`/api/v1/crowdsec/import` vs `/api/v1/admin/crowdsec/import`).
+> Tests may fail due to undocumented API path changes.

+#### 6.1 Proxy + Access List Integration (`tests/integration/proxy-acl-integration.spec.ts`)
+
+**Objective:** Verify that Access Lists correctly protect Proxy Hosts and that ACL changes propagate immediately.
+
+**Routes & Components:**
+
+| Route | Components | API Endpoints |

+| # | Test Name | Priority | Description |
+|---|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| 6 | should block request from denied IP | P0 | Assign blacklist ACL → Test request from blocked IP → Verify 403 response |
+| 7 | should allow request from whitelisted IP | P0 | Assign whitelist ACL → Test request from allowed IP → Verify 200 response |
+| 8 | should block request from non-whitelisted IP | P0 | Assign whitelist ACL → Test request from unlisted IP → Verify 403 response |
+| 9 | should enforce CIDR range correctly | P1 | Add CIDR range to ACL → Test IPs within and outside range → Verify enforcement |
+| 10 | should enforce RFC1918 local network only | P1 | Enable local network only → Test private/public IPs → Verify enforcement |
+
+**Scenario Group C: Dynamic ACL Updates**
+
+| # | Test Name | Priority | Description |
+|---|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| 11 | should apply ACL changes immediately | P0 | Update ACL rules → Test access instantly → Verify new rules active |
+| 12 | should disable ACL without deleting | P1 | Disable ACL → Verify proxy host accessible to all → Re-enable → Verify blocking |
+| 13 | should handle ACL deletion with active assignments | P0 | Delete ACL with assigned hosts → Verify warning shown → Verify hosts become public |
+| 14 | should bulk update ACL on multiple hosts | P1 | Select 3+ hosts → Bulk assign ACL → Verify all hosts protected |
+
+**Scenario Group D: Edge Cases & Error Handling**
+
+| # | Test Name | Priority | Description |
+|---|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| 15 | should handle IPv6 addresses correctly | P2 | Add IPv6 to ACL → Test IPv6 request → Verify correct allow/block |
+| 16 | should preserve ACL on proxy host update | P0 | Edit proxy host (change domain) → Verify ACL still assigned |
+| 17 | should handle conflicting ACL rules gracefully | P2 | Create overlapping IP/CIDR rules → Verify deterministic behavior |
+| 18 | should log ACL enforcement in audit log | P1 | Trigger ACL block → Verify audit entry created with details |
+
+**Key User Flow:**
+```typescript
+test('complete ACL protection workflow', async ({ page, testData }) => {
+  await test.step('Create proxy host', async () => {
+    const host = await testData.createProxyHost({
+      domain: 'protected-app.example.com',

+**Backup/Restore (18-22 tests minimum):**
+- [ ] All data types included in backup
+- [ ] Complete restore with foreign key preservation
+- [ ] Data integrity verification passes
+- [ ] Encrypted backup/restore works
+
+**Overall Phase 6:**
+- [ ] 85+ tests passing

+
+#### 6.10 Phase 6 Implementation Schedule
+
+| Day | Focus | Test Files | Est. Tests |
+|-----|-------|------------|------------|
+| **Day 1** | Proxy + ACL Integration | `proxy-acl-integration.spec.ts` | 18-22 |
+| **Day 2** | Proxy + Certificate, DNS Integration | `proxy-certificate.spec.ts`, `proxy-dns-integration.spec.ts` | 22-27 |
+| **Day 3** | Security Suite Integration + WebSocket | `security-suite-integration.spec.ts` | 23-28 |
+| **Day 4** | Backup/Restore E2E + Encryption | `backup-restore-e2e.spec.ts` | 20-24 |
+| **Day 5** | Multi-Feature Workflows + Buffer | `import-to-production.spec.ts`, `multi-feature-workflows.spec.ts` | 12-15 |
+
+**Total Estimated:** 90-110 tests (+ 9 optional enhancement tests)
+
+> **Supervisor Note:** Day 3 includes 3 additional WebSocket stability tests. Day 4 includes 2 additional encryption handling tests.
+
+---
+
+#### 6.11 Buffer Time Allocation
+
+**Buffer Usage (2 days included):**
+- **Day 1 Buffer:** Address flaky tests from Phase 1-5, fix any CI pipeline issues
+- **Day 2 Buffer:** Improve test stability, add missing edge cases, documentation updates
+
+**Buffer Triggers:**
+- If any phase overruns by >20%
+- If flaky test rate exceeds 5%
+- If critical infrastructure issues discovered
+- If new integration scenarios identified during testing
+
+**Buffer Activities:**
+1. Stabilize flaky tests (identify root cause, implement fixes)
+2. Add retry logic where appropriate
+3. Improve wait helper utilities
+4. Update CI configuration for reliability
+5. Document discovered edge cases for future phases
