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
- Update README to reflect current test infrastructure

Update tests to use semantic identifiers instead of hardcoded pixel positions:
- toolbar.spec.ts: Use clickToolbarTool('New') instead of click(box.x + 30, box.y + 45)
- menu.spec.ts: Use clickMenuBarItem('File') instead of click(box.x + 30, box.y + 15)
- layout.spec.ts: Use getSplitterSash() to get actual sash position for drag operations
- aui.spec.ts: Use clickAuiButton('close', 'Properties') for panel button clicks
Also extends element-tracker.ts with:
- WxRenderedElement interface for toolbar tools, menu items, sashes, AUI parts
- findRenderedByLabel(), findRenderedByType() query functions
- clickToolbarTool(), clickMenuBarItem(), getSplitterSash(), clickAuiButton() helpers

- Extract common logging code to tests/e2e/utils/
- fixtures.ts: Playwright fixture with automatic log capture
- test-utils.ts: Logging utilities and helper functions
- Each test now automatically captures:
- Console logs with timestamps and log levels
- Page errors with full stack traces
- Log files written per test to tests/logs/
- <test-name>.log for all console output
- <test-name>.errors.log only when errors occur
- Update all 13 spec files to use shared fixtures
- Update README with test structure and logging docs
- Net reduction of ~700 lines by removing duplicated code
