Add getRandomIntBelow10000() helper using rejection sampling to fix
CodeQL High severity finding for biased random numbers when using
modulo on cryptographically secure source.

Implemented global 401 response handling to properly redirect users
to login when their session expires:
Changes:
frontend/src/api/client.ts: Added setAuthErrorHandler() callback
pattern and enhanced 401 interceptor to notify auth context
frontend/src/context/AuthContext.tsx: Register auth error handler
that clears state and redirects to /login on 401 responses
tests/core/authentication.spec.ts: Fixed test to clear correct
localStorage key (charon_auth_token)
The implementation uses a callback pattern to avoid circular
dependencies while keeping auth state management centralized.
Auth endpoints (/auth/login, /auth/me) are excluded from the
redirect to prevent loops during initial auth checks.
All 16 authentication E2E tests now pass including:
should redirect to login when session expires
should handle 401 response gracefully
Closes frontend-auth-guard-reload.md
Fixed TEST issues (5 tests):
proxy-hosts.spec.ts: Added dismissDomainDialog() helper to handle
"New Base Domain Detected" modal before Save button clicks
auth-fixtures.ts: Updated logoutUser() to use text-based selector
that matches emoji button (🚪 Logout)
authentication.spec.ts: Added wait time for 401 response handling
to allow UI to react before assertion
Tracked CODE issue (1 test):
Created frontend-auth-guard-reload.md for session
expiration redirect failure (requires frontend code changes)
Test results: 247/252 passing (98% pass rate)
Before fixes: 242/252 (96%)
Improvement: +5 tests, +2% pass rate
Part of E2E testing initiative per Definition of Done
Phase 2 Complete (99/99 tests passing - 100%):
Created access-lists-crud.spec.ts (44 tests)
CRUD operations, IP/CIDR rules, Geo selection
Security presets, Test IP functionality

Certificate details, status indicators
Delete operations, form accessibility
Integration with proxy hosts
Fixed Access Lists test failures:
Replaced getByPlaceholder with CSS attribute selectors
Fixed Add button interaction using keyboard shortcuts
Fixed strict mode violations with .first()
Overall test suite: 242/252 passing (96%)
7 pre-existing failures tracked in backlog
Part of E2E testing initiative per Definition of Done
Add comprehensive E2E testing infrastructure including:
docker-compose.playwright.yml for test environment orchestration
TestDataManager utility for per-test namespace isolation
Wait helpers for flaky test prevention
Role-based auth fixtures for admin/user/guest testing
GitHub Actions e2e-tests.yml with 4-shard parallelization
Health check utility for service readiness validation
Phase 0 of 10-week E2E testing plan (Supervisor approved 9.2/10)
All 52 existing E2E tests pass with new infrastructure
The E2E test "should show script path field when Script type is selected"
was failing because the locator didn't match the actual UI field.
Update locator from /create/i to /script path/i
Update placeholder matcher from /create-dns/i to /dns-challenge.sh/i
Matches actual ScriptProvider field: label="Script Path",
placeholder="/scripts/dns-challenge.sh"
Also includes skill infrastructure for Playwright (separate feature):
Add test-e2e-playwright.SKILL.md for non-interactive test execution
Add run.sh script with argument parsing and report URL output
Add VS Code tasks for skill execution and report viewing
