 # Rettangoli Frontend
 
-A modern frontend framework that uses YAML for view definitions, web components for composition, and Immer for state management. Build reactive applications with minimal complexity using just 3 types of files.
+A modern frontend framework that uses YAML for view definitions, web components for composition, and Immer for state management. Build reactive applications with minimal complexity using 4 types of files.
 
 ## Features
 
-- **🗂️ Three-File Architecture** - `.view.yaml`, `.store.js`, `.handlers.js` files scale from single page to complex applications
+- **🗂️ Four-File Architecture** - `.view.yaml`, `.store.js`, `.handlers.js`, `.schema.yaml` scale from single page to complex applications
 - **📝 YAML Views** - Declarative UI definitions that compile to virtual DOM
 - **🧩 Web Components** - Standards-based component architecture
 - **🔄 Reactive State** - Immer-powered immutable state management

 ## Testing
 
-### View Components
+### Unit and Contract Tests
 
-Use visual testing with `rtgl vt`:
+- **Puty contract tests** (`spec/`) — YAML-driven pure-function specs for view, store, schema, and handler contracts.
+- **Vitest integration tests** (`test/`) — runtime behavior tests for component lifecycle, props, events, and DOM.
 
 ```bash
-rtgl vt generate
-rtgl vt report
+bun run test           # all tests
+bun run test:puty      # contract tests only
+bun run test:vitest    # integration tests only
 ```
 
+### End-to-End Testing
+
+E2E tests run against real example apps in `examples/` using `@rettangoli/vt`. VT specs define interaction steps (click, write, keypress, etc.) and capture screenshots via Playwright. Assertions are done by comparing candidate screenshots against reference baselines with pixelmatch.
+
+```bash
+# In an example project (e.g. examples/example1/)
+rtgl fe build          # build components
+rtgl vt generate       # capture screenshots (runs Playwright)
+rtgl vt report         # compare against reference — fails on mismatch
+rtgl vt accept         # update baselines when changes are intentional
+```
+
+VT specs live in each example's `vt/specs/` directory. See `examples/example1/` for the full setup.
+
 ## Examples
 
 For a complete working example, see the todos app in `examples/example1/`.
