Playwright MCP

Use Playwright MCP for browser-observable behavior.

Navigate to the target URL first.
Capture browser_snapshot before clicking or filling; use exact element refs from the snapshot.
Use browser_wait_for for expected text/state changes.
Use console messages and network requests after reproducing errors.
Use screenshots for visual evidence, not as the primary way to locate elements.

Prefer accessible roles/names from snapshots.
Do not use unsafe code execution unless no safe tool can accomplish the task.
Do not enter real credentials unless user provided test credentials for this task.
Do not perform destructive UI actions without approval.

Check package scripts before starting any app process.
Do not launch long-running servers with normal bash unless the user requested it and the workflow is safe.
If the user provides a localhost URL, use it directly.

Confirm expected route/page renders.
Check critical interactions, form validation, route transitions, error toasts, and loading states.
Inspect console errors and failed API calls for UI bugs.
Test responsive behavior by resizing when layout changes matter.
