- Improved error handling in services such as backup, credential, docker, mail, notification, security headers, and uptime services.
- Enhanced readability by using more descriptive variable names for errors in multiple locations across the codebase.
- Ensured consistent error handling practices throughout the application.
- Updated design documentation to reflect the new Playwright-first approach for frontend testing, including orchestration flow and runbook notes.
- Revised requirements to align with the new frontend test iteration strategy, emphasizing E2E environment management and coverage thresholds.
- Expanded tasks to outline phased implementation for frontend testing, including Playwright E2E baseline, backend triage, and coverage validation.

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).
- Implemented CrowdSecBouncerKeyDisplay component to fetch and display the bouncer API key information.
- Added loading skeletons and error handling for API requests.

- Created E2E tests for CrowdSec diagnostics, covering configuration file validation, connectivity checks, and configuration export.
The break glass recovery test was calling GET /api/v1/config which
doesn't exist (only PATCH is supported). Changed to use
GET /api/v1/security/config and updated the response body accessor
from body.security?.admin_whitelist to body.config?.admin_whitelist.
Also switched to Playwright's toBeOK() assertion for better error
messages on failure.
