Make the Playwright e2e + kicad suites deterministic so screenshot flake stops
tracing to timing races.
- Blind page.waitForTimeout -> condition waits (expect.poll, web-first
assertions, waitUntil) + readiness helpers (waitForWxApp, waitForCanvasApp).
Remaining sleeps are documented interaction dwells (annotated).
- Defensive "if element exists" branches -> loud asserts; label-fallback chains
-> normalized clickMenuItemByText. First-run wizard for/if loops removed by
seeding calculator/gerbview/pcbnew HTMLs.
- Screenshots: new stableShot(page, name) settles the render in-page (canvas
hash over rAF) then writes a raw PNG to test-results/ for the existing offline
gate (tools/screenshots vs baseline-screenshots). Replaces toHaveScreenshot,
which did inline compare + its own baselines and had decoupled the specs from
the real gate. scale:'css' pinned.
- retries: 0 in both configs.
- Guard: tests/tools/lint-determinism.ts (npm run lint:determinism) bans blind
sleeps / toHaveScreenshot / inline retries / swallowed catches in specs;
documented exceptions carry a marker. Rules in tests/TESTING.md.
Assertions, coverage, and renders unchanged (semantic-equivalence reviewed;
captures pixel-identical modulo inherent timer/timestamp/3d-raytrace variance).
Both suites green at retries:0 (e2e 340, kicad 92); ~35-61% faster.

- Replace test.skip() with proper expect() assertions when app fails to load
- Remove button-finder utility (no longer needed with element registry)
- Remove kicad tests (tested separately)
- Add findByName/clickByName helpers for bitmap buttons
- Fix element lookups: use clickByName for bitmap buttons, clickTreeItem
for treebook pages, selectComboItem for wxChoice items
- Add SetName() to shape buttons in bitmapbuttons_test.cpp
- Remove verbose logging from print and threadpool tests

Implements and tests remaining KiCad-critical wxWidgets features:
- wxPropertyGrid/wxPropertyGridManager for property panels
- wxColourPickerCtrl/wxFontPickerCtrl for color and font selection
- wxCollapsiblePane for expandable UI sections
- wxListCtrl virtual mode for large lists (10,000+ items)
- wxInfoBar for notification messages
Total: 159 tests passing across 20 standalone apps (~90% KiCad coverage)
