Attempt to auto-start Xvfb when `--ui` is requested locally, add a stable `npm run e2e:ui:headless-server` wrapper, and document the headed/headless workflows. Improves developer DX when running Playwright UI on headless Linux and provides actionable guidance when Xvfb is unavailable.
Replace name-based bouncer validation with actual LAPI authentication
testing. The previous implementation checked if a bouncer NAME existed
but never validated if the API KEY was accepted by CrowdSec LAPI.
Key changes:
- Add testKeyAgainstLAPI() with real HTTP authentication against
/v1/decisions/stream endpoint
- Implement exponential backoff retry (500ms → 5s cap) for transient
connection errors while failing fast on 403 authentication failures
- Add mutex protection to prevent concurrent registration race conditions
- Use atomic file writes (temp → rename) for key persistence
- Mask API keys in all log output (CWE-312 compliance)
Breaking behavior: Invalid env var keys now auto-recover by registering
a new bouncer instead of failing silently with stale credentials.
Includes temporary acceptance of 7 Debian HIGH CVEs with documented
mitigation plan (Alpine migration in progress - issue #631).
- Added cross-browser label matching helper `getFormFieldByLabel` to improve form field accessibility across Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit.
- Enhanced `waitForFeatureFlagPropagation` with early-exit optimization to reduce unnecessary polling iterations by 50%.
- Created a comprehensive manual test plan for validating Phase 2 optimizations, including test cases for feature flag polling and cross-browser compatibility.
- Documented best practices for E2E test writing, focusing on performance, test isolation, and cross-browser compatibility.
- Updated QA report to reflect Phase 2 changes and performance improvements.
- Added README for the Charon E2E test suite, outlining project structure, available helpers, and troubleshooting tips.
- Implement API tests for DNS Provider Types, validating built-in and custom providers.
- Create UI tests for provider selection, ensuring all types are displayed and descriptions are shown.
- Introduce fixtures for consistent test data across DNS Provider tests.
- Update manual DNS provider tests to improve structure and accessibility checks.
