- Updated GO_VERSION to 1.25.7 across all GitHub Actions workflows to fix immediate build failures
- Added custom regex manager to `.github/renovate.json` to explicitly track `GO_VERSION` in YAML files
- Ensures Renovate detects and automerges Go updates for workflows alongside the main project
Fixed syntax errors in playwright.config.js (duplicate identifiers)
Verified all E2E and Integration workflows have correct push triggers
Confirmed immediate feedback loop for feature/hotfix branches
Validated E2E environment by running core test suite (100% pass)
- Replaced deprecated generic tool names with specific VS Code command IDs
- Enabled broad MCP tool access for Management and QA agents
- Scoped DevOps agent to strictly infrastructure and release tools
- aligned Playwright and Trivy tool usage with new MCP namespaces
- Introduced a new workflow for E2E tests that runs tests sequentially to avoid race conditions caused by parallel execution.
- Reduced the number of shards from 4 to 1 per browser, ensuring all tests for each browser run sequentially.
- Updated the existing WAF integration workflow to include pull request triggers for better CI management.
Investigation Phase:
Problem:
- Tests hang AFTER global setup completes
- No test execution begins (hung before first test)
- Step timeout (15min) doesn't trigger properly
- Job timeout (45min) eventually kills process after 44min
Changes:
1. Added DEBUG=pw:api to all browser jobs
- Will show exact Playwright API calls
- Pinpoint where execution hangs (auth setup vs browser launch vs test init)
2. Reduced job timeout: 45min → 20min
- Fail faster when tests hang
- Reduces wasted CI resources
- Still allows normal test execution (local: 1.2min)
Expected Outcome:
- Verbose logs reveal hang location
- Faster feedback loop (20min vs 44min)
- Can identify if issue is:
* auth.setup.ts hanging
* Browser process not launching
* Connection issues to application
Next Steps Based on Logs:
- If browser launch hangs: Add dumb-init (Phase 3)
- If auth setup hangs: Investigate cookie/storage state
- If network hangs: Add localhost loopback routing
Phase: 2.5 of 3 (Diagnostic Logging)
See: docs/plans/ci_hang_remediation.md
Resource Constraint Management:
Problem:
- Tests hanging indefinitely during execution in CI
- 2-core runners resource-constrained vs local dev machines
- No timeout enforcement allows tests to run forever
Changes:
1. playwright.config.js:
- Reduced per-test timeout: 90s → 60s (CI only)
- Comment clarifies CI resource constraints
- Local dev keeps 90s for debugging
2. .github/workflows/e2e-tests-split.yml:
- Added timeout-minutes: 15 to all test steps
- Ensures CI fails explicitly after 15 minutes
- Prevents workflow hanging until 6-hour GitHub limit
Expected Outcome:
- Tests fail fast with timeout error instead of hanging
- Clearer debugging: timeout vs hang vs test failure
- CI resources freed up faster for other jobs
Phase: 2 of 3 (Resource Constraints)
See: docs/plans/ci_hang_remediation.md
Remove overly complex verification logic that was causing all browser
jobs to fail. Browser installation should fail fast and clearly if
there are issues.
Changes:
- Remove multi-line verification scripts from all 3 browser install steps
- Simplify to single command: npx playwright install --with-deps {browser}
- Let install step show actual errors if it fails
- Let test execution show "browser not found" errors if install incomplete
Rationale:
- Previous complex verification (using grep/find) was the failure point
- Simpler approach provides clearer error messages for debugging
- Tests themselves will fail clearly if browsers aren't available
Expected outcome:
- Install steps show actual error messages if they fail
- If install succeeds, tests execute normally
- If install "succeeds" but browser is missing, test step shows clear error
Timeout remains at 45 minutes (accommodates 10-15 min install + execution)
- Changed workflow name to reflect sequential execution for stability.
- Reduced test sharding from 4 to 1 per browser, resulting in 3 total jobs.
- Updated job summaries and documentation to clarify execution model.
- Added new documentation file for E2E CI failure diagnosis.
- Adjusted job summary tables to reflect changes in shard counts and execution type.
- Create phase1_diagnostics.md to document findings from test interruptions
- Introduce phase1_validation_checklist.md for pre-deployment validation
- Implement diagnostic-helpers.ts for enhanced logging and state capture
- Enable browser console logging, error tracking, and dialog lifecycle monitoring
- Establish performance monitoring for test execution times
- Document actionable recommendations for Phase 2 remediation
