# E2E Readiness — Handoff (2026-06-01)
Single-source pickup doc for the boiler e2e fix effort. Target: `boiler.saas-ctrl.com`
(staging on Hetzner `staging-1`, 46.225.5.93). Companion memory files:
`boiler-deploy-seed.md`, `boiler-e2e-remaining-tail.md` (in the agent memory dir).
## Current status
Full local run against boiler (`set -a; source .env.e2e-readiness.boiler; set +a; npx playwright test`):
| Run | pass / fail / skip |
|-----|--------------------|
| baseline (start of effort) | 108 / 54 / 46 |
| full-run-8 | 157 / 10 / 41 |
| **full-run-9 (latest)** | **163 / 15 / 30** |
Headline: **+55 pass vs baseline**. Fail rose 10→15 only because the workflow-execution
fix (below) **un-skipped** ~11 previously-gated workflow tests — they now run and some
fail on detail contracts. Not regressions.
All code fixes are on `main` (latest pushed commit `379a5b25`). The hard infrastructure
is solved; what remains are detail contracts + one real UI bug.
### 2026-06-01 FINAL RESULT — merged to `main` and deployed to boiler
Full single-worker run **with `--retries=2` (CI-equivalent) = 178 pass / 0 fail / 2 flaky
(pass on retry) / 28 skip**. The 2 flaky are serial-only and pass in isolation + on retry:
read-only plugin permissions (`app.plugins.use`) and a registration login-rate-limit test
(10/60s). All real product bugs and test-contract issues below are fixed. Commits on `main`:
`71686c25` (getWorkflowExecution 500→404), `ef7f4ee4` (run-dropdown Menu.Item Fragment 500),
`626abd9d` (prune stale role→permission grants), `5261bf98` (z-50/CSRF/canvas), `87b997fd`
+ `f93ba964` + `8de012ef` (e2e test contracts). Re-seed after every deploy (`/tmp` ephemeral).
### 2026-06-01 follow-up (investigation detail)
Re-investigated the plugin-settings + workflow-run mobile-a11y specs against boiler with
fresh re-seeds. The earlier read-only diagnosis was partly wrong; running with traces
corrected it. Net: 8 of the 13 remaining were genuine **test-contract / single-fetch**
bugs (now fixed + locally verified passing), 3 are **product** bugs (fixed in code, need a
web deploy to validate), and 3 are **staging environment / RBAC / seed** issues (not code).
**Fixed in tests — verified GREEN locally (no deploy needed):**
- All RR7 single-fetch interceptors now match `<path>.data` and return a **turbo-stream**
body, not `application/json` (faked JSON breaks the decoder so `useActionData()` is empty
and the UI never renders). New helper `singleFetchActionData(payload, status?)` in
`tests/e2e/utils/navigation.ts` calls the real `turbo-stream` `encode({data})` (byte-
identical to the proven `singleFetchActionError`). Fixed: plugin consent/lifecycle/revoke/
stale-review (`capturePluginPost` + inline 409/400 interceptors; also matches the
`fetch(".")` parent-dir for the iframe write), and workflow manual/api/stream waiting-block
continuations + manual-error.
- Stale-review (`:173`): the readiness plugin has **2+ missing capabilities** (audit + a hook
subscription); approval needs **every** checkbox confirmed. Test now checks all (mirrors
the consent test). Approve-button-disabled was the real blocker, not the interceptor.
- Invalid-JSON (`:780`): Monaco auto-closed a typed `{` into a valid `{}` AND a bare wrapper
click left keystrokes unrouted. Fixed by focusing the `.monaco-editor` edit context, then
`insertText("not valid json")` (non-bracket, paste-like), asserting the model value.
**Product bugs — fixed in code, NEED a web deploy + re-seed to validate:**
- Run dropdown obstructed by ReactFlow (`:303`, was `:315`): toolbar lacked a stacking
context. Added `relative z-50` to the builder toolbar in `workflows.$id.index.view.tsx`.
- Stream waiting-block continuation POST missing CSRF (`:567`): `WorkflowStreamProgress.tsx`
`onSubmitWaitingBlock` never called `appendCSRFToken(form)` (manual/api views do). Added it.
- Execution-detail builder canvas hidden on mobile (`:617`): ReactFlow needs a *definite*
height; `workflows.$id.executions.view.tsx` used indefinite `min-h`/`flex-1`. Applied the
proven `h-[70vh] lg:h-auto lg:min-h-0 lg:flex-1` (same as the index view).
**Staging environment / RBAC / seed — NOT code bugs (CI lane is the arbiter):**
- `:175` builder "stays usable" → e2e tenant user is redirected to
`/unauthorized/app.settings.roles.set/<tenant>` (HTTP 200, so `skipIfUnavailable` doesn't
skip). The seeded user is missing role permissions on staging (the "roles flag seed" gap).
- `:461` settings iframe → the readiness plugin is **Disabled** (state drifted across the
serial run; the settings detail route is correctly unreachable while disabled). Needs
per-test enable/restore or a `beforeEach` re-seed of the plugin's enabled state.
- `:669` read-only user sees mutation controls → the `User` role carries a **stale**
`app.plugins.manage` grant. `syncDefaultRolesAndPermissions` is **add-only** (never prunes
role→permission links), so the 2026-05-26 plugin-permission split never propagated to
tenants seeded before it. Immediate: prune the stale grant on staging. Durable: make the
sync prune links no longer in `defaultPermissionSeedDescriptors[].inRoles`.
## What was fixed this effort
### Real product bugs
1. **Outbox BullMQ jobId contained `:`** (`2b6ff2bf`). `jobId: \`outbox:${id}\`` — BullMQ
rejects `:` ("Custom Id cannot contain :"), so EVERY async outbox dispatch failed and
dead-lettered (workflow.execution.requested, workflow.trigger.event, plugin.hook.*,
audit.event.create). Unit tests mocked `queue.add` so it never surfaced. Fixed to `-`
in `apps/worker/src/outbox/bootstrap.ts` AND `workflow-execution-stalled-reconciler.ts`
`buildOutboxJobId` (must agree). `outbox-receiver.ts` idempotency key keeps `:` (not a
BullMQ id). This was breaking ALL async delivery in production, not just tests.
2. **Language switch was a no-op** (earlier, root.tsx) — setLocale didn't write the `_i18n`
cookie remixI18Next.getLocale reads.
3. Misc a11y/contrast cluster (rose-500→600, focus-return, etc.) — see git log.
### Coolify config changes (staging only — applied via API, NOT in repo)
The workflow-execution + plugin tests were blocked by deployment config, not code:
- **worker-general `WORKFLOW_TRIGGER_EXECUTOR_MODE=native`** (was `http`). In http mode the
worker POSTs to the web's `/internal/api/workflows/executions/<id>/start`, but that route
is **deliberately** gated out of `routes.ts` (`internal/api/__workflows/**`, enforced by a
test — do NOT un-gate it). native mode runs safe-core workflows (manual/log/if/switch/
httpRequest/email/rowGet…) directly in the worker via prisma. This made workflow execution
work (the outbox-drain canary goes green).
- **`PLUGIN_BINARY_BASE_PATH=/tmp/e2e-plugins`** on boilerplate-web + worker-general. The
image default `/app/var/plugins` doesn't exist and is unwritable for uid 1000 `node`; the
seed writes the plugin bundle to `/tmp/e2e-plugins`. Set this so the web reads it. Made the
plugin settings iframe render.
- **boilerplate-web `custom_network_aliases=boilerplate-web`** so the cluster-internal URL
`http://boilerplate-web:8080` resolves (the public fqdn returns curl `000` from inside —
hairpin NAT). (Only needed if you ever switch the worker back to http mode.)
### Test fixes (on main)
- `tests/e2e/utils/navigation.ts` `singleFetchActionError()` — builds the real RR7 single-fetch
turbo-stream error envelope (`text/x-script` + body `[{"_1":2},"data",{"_3":4},"error","msg"]\n`
+ header **`X-Remix-Response: yes`** — without that header the client renders a 500 boundary).
- `tests/e2e/utils/axe.ts` — `settleAnimations()` waits on Web Animations `finished` before
scanning (kills transient color-contrast flakes); filters `scrollable-region-focusable` on
`role="menu"` (Radix false positive).
- input-editor 320px: focus Monaco edit context + assert the editor MODEL value (DOM is
virtualised). executions-mobile: assert the `.filter({visible:true})` Executions label.
readinessPluginId passed into the iframe `evaluate`. signout race, portals skip, drawer reopen.
## Coolify / infra access (found in the `infra` repo, ~/Documents/GitHub/infra)
- API: `https://saas-ctrl.com/api/v1`, Bearer = `~/.cli-tokens/coolify-token` (works).
- App UUIDs: web `mrf8lj70kmy9hqprx9dd6w7q`, api `e109dzc3xzjxi54llfje4tob`,
worker-general `wzshv933n2nhy0cvsxu8bqmm` (drains outbox + runs workflow executor),
worker-plugin `o10eqbjd7hd49d2iuyjataqo`, -import/-mail/-webhook.
- Env API gotcha: `POST /applications/{uuid}/envs {key,value}` and PATCH-by-key BOTH create →
dupes. Always GET uuids and `DELETE /applications/{uuid}/envs/{env_uuid}` extras.
- Redeploy: `GET /applications/{uuid}/deploy` (add `?force=true` to re-pull image).
- SSH host: `boilerplate-staging` (root@46.225.5.93, key `~/.ssh/node1`).
- DB query: throwaway `postgres:16-alpine` on the `coolify` docker network; strip
`?pgbouncer=true` from `$DATABASE_URL`; columns are quoted camelCase.
## Re-seed (REQUIRED after every web deploy — /tmp is ephemeral)
```
WEB=$(ssh boilerplate-staging "docker ps --format '{{.Names}}\t{{.Image}}' | grep /web: | cut -f1 | head -1")
ssh boilerplate-staging "docker exec -w /tmp -e E2E_SEED_ALLOW_PRODUCTION=1 -e E2E_LOCAL_READINESS_SEED=1 \
-e PLUGIN_BINARY_BASE_PATH=/tmp/e2e-plugins $WEB node /myapp/packages/db/dist/e2e-readiness-seed.server.js"
```
## Remaining 15 failures — categorized with pointers
### A. Workflow run-detail (7) — newly running after the execution fix
File `tests/e2e/workflow-builder-run.mobile-a11y.spec.ts`. The execution CORE works (drain
canary + execution-status + status-toggle-contract pass with `E2E_REQUIRE_WORKFLOW_OUTBOX_DRAIN=1`).
These fail on continuation/error contracts — likely 1-2 shared root causes in the run flow:
- `:462` manual waiting-block continuation posts raw input
- `:539` API waiting-block continuation posts JSON input
- `:579` stream run waiting-block continuation
- `:629` manual run result deep-links to execution details (gated by E2E opt-in)
- `:751` manual run remains on-page when execution action returns an error
- `:796` manual run rejects invalid JSON through the real action
- `:900` keeps builder and manual run reachable at 320px
START HERE: run one (e.g. `:796`) with `E2E_REQUIRE_WORKFLOW_OUTBOX_DRAIN=1`, read the failure;
the waiting-block ones share `continueExecution`/wait-for-input handling. Native executor
supports a subset of blocks (see `docs/worker.md`) — confirm wf_waiting_123's blocks are in it,
else native fails-loud on unsupported graph semantics (would explain waiting-block fails).
### B. Plugin-settings POST/capability contracts (5)
File `tests/e2e/plugin-settings.mobile-a11y.spec.ts`. The iframe now RENDERS (binary path fixed).
- `:49` capability consent review — "capability grant POST captured: null" (the grant POST
never fires → needs the capability in a pending-review state in the seed, or the approve
control isn't rendering).
- `:173` stale capability review error
- `:332` lifecycle controls non-mutating interception contract
- `:461` settings iframe sandbox/CSP — readinessPluginId test bug fixed; now fails on the
settings-write POST not being captured (line ~546) — likely needs `E2E_ALLOW_PLUGIN_SETTINGS_WRITE`
opt-in OR the parent doesn't forward the iframe message (channelId/pluginId validation).
- `:617` capability revoke controls non-mutating form contract
START HERE: these likely share a capability-grant/seed-state root. Check what capability state
the seed creates vs what the consent-review UI needs (a pending grant request).
### C. Real UI bug (1) — run dropdown obstructed by ReactFlow
`tests/e2e/workflow-builder-run.mobile-a11y.spec.ts:315` "run dropdown stays keyboard reachable".
Diagnosed: the `ui.workflows.run.dropdown.button` (HeadlessUI Menu.Button in
`apps/web/app/modules/workflowEngine/components/workflows/buttons/WorkflowRunDropdown.tsx`) is
visible but `click()` TIMES OUT and `aria-expanded` stays false even on a DOM click — the
ReactFlow canvas overlays it (captures pointer + keyboard) on the builder page at mobile width.
This is a genuine product bug (z-index / pointer-events / layout on the builder), needs a fix +
web deploy. NOT a test bug.
### D. Test-isolation (1) — status toggle
`tests/e2e/workflow-builder-actions.spec.ts:155` "persists workflow status toggles". The toggle
now PERSISTS (native mode made the status mutation work), so the persisted state leaks between
runs and the test's read-initial/restore logic races (error flips between "expected true got
false" and vice-versa across runs). Fix: make the test reset wf_123 status deterministically, or
the seed should pin a known status each run.
### E. Cross-suite flake (1)
"guards seeded tenant account membership before dashboard" — passes in isolation AND its own
full file; only fails in the full serial run (cumulative login rate-limit, 10/60s). CI lane's
retries absorb it. Not a real fail.
## How to run / verify
- Full local: `cd boilerplate; set -a; source .env.e2e-readiness.boiler; set +a; npx playwright test --reporter=json > /tmp/run.json`
- Workflow execution tests need `export E2E_REQUIRE_WORKFLOW_OUTBOX_DRAIN=1`.
- The authoritative "everything on" run is the CI readiness lane (`.gitea/workflows/e2e-readiness.yml`,
`workflow_dispatch` with the operator opt-ins: workflow_outbox_drain, plugin_settings_write,
plugin_lifecycle_mutation) which sets `REQUIRE_E2E_READINESS=1` (fail-closed).
## Do-not-repeat notes
- Do NOT un-gate `internal/api/__workflows/**` in routes.ts (a test enforces the exclusion; the
intended path is native executor mode).
- Do NOT use a global `<style>` to freeze CSS transitions in the axe helper — it perturbs later
Radix close-animation focus timing. Use the Web Animations `finished` wait (already in place).
- Coolify env POST/PATCH both CREATE — always dedupe by deleting extra env uuids.
