placeholderData keeps the previous range painted while a health-chart range switch fetches, paired with its truth condition: the container dims and goes inert while isPlaceholderData is true, so the old range cannot masquerade as the new one. The mood chart needs no pairing — its range is a client-side slice over one static-key query and never drops to a skeleton. /checkups and /mood gain the dashboard-template RSC prefetch: the primary list read moves into a shared lib read (route + wrapper consume one query, so filter/order/wire shape cannot drift), the wrapper honours the DASHBOARD_SSR_PREFETCH kill-switch, resolves identity through getUnswitchedSession, JSON-round-trips the dehydrated state, and fails soft to the bare client on every error path. Page-prefetch unit tests pin the seeded keys and the fail-soft arms; the SSR hydration spec gains an assertion per page. The achievement-unlock poll drops to five minutes (in-app writes already invalidate the cell; the poll only covers out-of-band ingest), and the plan-proposal poll gains the advisor-style bounded attempt ceiling so an open thread stops polling after its budget.
e2e/
End-to-end browser tests. Playwright 1.60 drives a production build of the app against a real PostgreSQL, with @axe-core/playwright for accessibility assertions. This is the heaviest test tier; CI runs it on every PR, and locally it is worth running when a change touches a UI flow.
Running
pnpm e2e
The Playwright config (../playwright.config.ts) builds the app (next build) and brings up Postgres before the specs run; setup/global-setup.ts seeds the auth + fixture state. The suite is not part of the fast local gate (typecheck / lint / test) — it surfaces at PR CI, so expect responsive/wizard/nav reworks to flag here first.
Layout
setup/—test.ts(the suite'stest+expectentry point),global-setup.ts(auth + DB seeding),test-helpers.ts(shared login + navigation helpers).utils/— fixtures such asmock-dashboard-snapshot.ts.*.spec.ts— one spec per flow: auth/login/redirect, dashboard, charts, the medication-wizard cadences (medications-wizard-*), insights generation + scroll restoration, doctor report, settings, mobile-viewport consistency, locale switch, accessibility (a11y.spec.ts), and thev1427-*regression set.
Conventions
Import test and expect from ./setup/test, never from @playwright/test — types (Page, Route, …) still come from the package. The entry point extends Playwright's test with an automatic fixture that drops route handlers and page listeners after every test, so a handler left in flight cannot fail the test it belonged to once the context closes. src/__tests__/e2e-route-cleanup-guard.test.ts enforces the import boundary.
Assert against stable data-* attributes (data-slot, data-display-step, root display attrs), not viewport-dependent visible text. Responsive sm:hidden UI changes break getByText on desktop while the underlying element is still present — anchoring on data attributes keeps the specs stable across breakpoints. See ../CLAUDE.md.
