+# Manual Testing: Security Test Helpers
+
+**Created**: June 2025
+**Priority**: Medium
+**Status**: Open
+
+## Objective
+
+Verify the security test helpers implementation prevents ACL deadlock during E2E test execution.
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### Scenario 1: ACL Toggle Isolation
+
+1. Run security dashboard tests that toggle ACL on
+2. Intentionally cancel mid-test (Ctrl+C)
+3. Run any other E2E test (e.g., manual-dns-provider)
+4. **Expected**: Tests should pass - global-setup.ts should reset ACL
+
+### Scenario 2: State Restoration After Failure
+
+1. Modify a security dashboard toggle test to throw an error after enabling ACL
+2. Run the test (it will fail)
+3. Run a different test file
+4. **Expected**: ACL should be disabled, other tests should pass
+
+### Scenario 3: Concurrent Test Runs
+
+1. Run full E2E suite: `npx playwright test --project=chromium`
+2. **Expected**: No tests fail due to ACL blocking (@api-tagged requests)
+3. **Expected**: Security dashboard toggle tests complete without deadlock
+
+### Scenario 4: Fresh Container State
+
+1. Stop all containers: `docker compose -f .docker/compose/docker-compose.yml down -v`
+2. Start fresh: `docker compose -f .docker/compose/docker-compose.ci.yml up -d`
+3. Run security dashboard tests
+4. **Expected**: Tests pass, ACL state properly managed
+
+## Verification Commands
+
+```bash
+# Full E2E suite
+npx playwright test --project=chromium
+
+# Security-specific tests
+npx playwright test tests/security/*.spec.ts --project=chromium
+
+# Check ACL is disabled after tests
+curl -s http://localhost:8080/api/v1/security/status | jq '.acl_enabled'
+```
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Security dashboard toggle tests pass consistently
+- [ ] No "403 Forbidden" errors in unrelated tests after security tests run
+- [ ] global-setup.ts emergency reset works when ACL is stuck enabled
+- [ ] afterAll cleanup creates fresh request context (no fixture reuse errors)
