+# Spec-driven testing (plan → generate → heal)
+
+End-to-end workflow for authoring and maintaining Playwright tests using `playwright-cli`. The three sections below can be used independently:
+
+- **Planning** — explore the app, produce a spec file describing what to test.
+- **Generate** — turn a spec into Playwright test files. Update the spec if it's vague or stale.
+- **Heal** — diagnose failing tests, fix the code, reconcile the spec with reality.
+
+All three lean on the same mechanic: run `npx playwright test --debug=cli` in the background, then `playwright-cli attach tw-XXXX` to drive the paused page interactively. See [playwright-tests.md](playwright-tests.md) for the debug/attach mechanics and [test-generation.md](test-generation.md) for how every `playwright-cli` action emits Playwright TypeScript.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Planning
+
+Goal: produce a spec file (e.g. `specs/<feature>.plan.md`) that enumerates the scenarios to test. **Always** write the spec to a file.
+
+### 1.1 Prerequisite: workspace
+
+Check the workspace has Playwright installed before anything else:
+
+```bash
+# Either of these confirms a workspace:
+test -f playwright.config.ts || test -f playwright.config.js
+npx --no-install playwright --version
+```
+
+If there is no Playwright install, bootstrap one and let the user pick the defaults:
+
+```bash
+npm init playwright@latest
+```
+
+### 1.2 Prerequisite: seed test
+
+A **seed test** is a minimal test that lands the page in the state every scenario starts from: navigation to the app, any required login, feature flags, etc. Scenarios assume a fresh start *after* the seed. `--debug=cli` pauses *inside* this test, so the seed is where every planning and generation session begins.
+
+Minimum viable seed:
+
+```ts
+// tests/seed.spec.ts
+import { test } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('seed', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('https://example.com/');
+});
+```
+
+Preferred — push navigation into a fixture so scenario tests reuse it:
+
+```ts
+// tests/fixtures.ts
+import { test as baseTest } from '@playwright/test';
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export const test = baseTest.extend({
+  page: async ({ page }, use) => {
+    await page.goto('https://example.com/');
+    await use(page);
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```ts
+// tests/seed.spec.ts
+import { test } from './fixtures';
+
+test('seed', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Fixture already navigates. This empty body tells agents where to start.
+});
+```
+
+If no seed exists, create one that at least navigates to the app.
+
+### 1.3 Explore the app
+
+Launch the app via the seed in the background and attach:
+
+```bash
+PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never npx playwright test tests/seed.spec.ts --debug=cli
+# wait for "Debugging Instructions" and the session name tw-XXXX
+playwright-cli attach tw-XXXX
+```
+
+Resume so the seed runs, then probe the app:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli resume                   # resume so that seed test runs fully
+playwright-cli snapshot                 # inventory of interactive elements
+playwright-cli click e5                 # follow a flow
+playwright-cli eval "location.href"     # read URL / state
+playwright-cli show --annotate          # ask the user to point at something
+```
+
+Map out:
+
+- Interactive surfaces (forms, buttons, lists, filters, modals).
+- Primary user journeys end-to-end.
+- Edge cases: empty states, validation errors, very long input, boundary values.
+- Persistence: reload, local/session storage, URL fragments.
+- Navigation: which controls change the URL, back/forward behaviour.
+
+**Important**: Do not just open the app url with playwright-cli, always go through the test to capture any custom setup done there.
+**Important**: Stop the background test when done exploring.
+
+### 1.4 Write the spec file
+
+Save under `specs/<feature>.plan.md`. Use this structure:
+
+```markdown
+# <Feature> Test Plan
+
+## Application Overview
+
+<One paragraph describing what the feature does and why it matters.>
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. <Group Name>
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+
+#### 1.1. <kebab-case-scenario-name>
+
+**File:** `tests/<group>/<kebab-case-scenario-name>.spec.ts`
+
+**Steps:**
+  1. <Concrete user step>
+    - expect: <observable outcome>
+    - expect: <another observable outcome>
+  2. <Next step>
+    - expect: <outcome>
+
+#### 1.2. <next-scenario>
+...
+
+### 2. <Next Group>
+
+**Seed:** `tests/seed.spec.ts`
+...
+```
+
+Guidelines:
+
+- Each scenario is independent and starts from the seed's fresh state — never chain scenarios.
+- Scenario names are kebab-case and match the test file name (`should-add-single-todo` → `should-add-single-todo.spec.ts`).
+- Cover happy path, edge cases, validation, negative flows, persistence.
+- Write steps at the user level ("Type 'Buy milk' into the input"), not the API level ("call `fill`").
+- Put observable outcomes in `- expect:` bullets; each becomes an assertion during generation.
+
+---
+
+## 2. Generate
+
+Goal: take a spec file and produce Playwright test files. Optionally update the spec if it has drifted.
+
+### 2.1 Inputs
+
+- **Spec file**, e.g. `specs/basic-operations.plan.md`.
+- **Target**: either a single scenario (e.g. `1.2`), a whole group (`1`), or all.
+- **Seed file**, read from the `**Seed:**` line of the scenario's group.
+
+### 2.2 Generate one scenario
+
+For each target scenario, in sequence (never in parallel — scenarios share the seed session):
+
+```bash
+PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never npx playwright test <seed-file> --debug=cli   # background
+playwright-cli attach tw-XXXX
+# resume
+```
+
+**Do not** just open the app url with playwright-cli, always go through the test to capture any custom setup done there.
+
+Walk the scenario's `Steps:` one by one with `playwright-cli`, treating the spec as the plan and the live app as the source of truth. If a step is vague ("click the button" — which button?), references an element that no longer exists, or contradicts the app's actual behaviour, use your judgement: update the spec to match what the app really does, then keep going. Editing the spec mid-generation is expected.
+
+Every action prints the equivalent Playwright TypeScript (see [test-generation.md](test-generation.md)):
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli snapshot                         # find refs
+playwright-cli fill e3 "John Doe"               # -> page.getByRole('textbox', {...}).fill(...)
+playwright-cli press Enter
+playwright-cli click e7
+```
+
+For each `- expect:` bullet, add an explicit assertion. See [test-generation.md](test-generation.md) for details.
+
+Collect the generated code and write the test file at the path given in the spec:
+
+```ts
+// spec: specs/basic-operations.plan.md
+// seed: tests/seed.spec.ts
+import { test, expect } from './fixtures';   // or '@playwright/test' if no fixtures file
+
+test.describe('Signing in and out', () => {
+  test('should sign in', async ({ page }) => {
+    // 1. Navigate to the application
+    // (handled by the seed fixture)
+
+    // 2. Type 'John Doe' into the username field
+    await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'username' }).fill('John Doe');
+
+    // 3. Type password
+    await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'password' }).fill('TestPassword');
+
+    // 4. Press Enter to submit
+    await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'password' }).press('Enter');
+
+    await expect(page.getByRole('heading')).toContainText('Welcome, John Doe!');
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Rules:
+
+- **One test per file.** File path, describe name, and test name come verbatim from the spec (minus the ordinal).
+- Prefix each numbered step with a `// N. <step text>` comment before its actions.
+- Use the describe group name verbatim from the spec (no `1.` ordinal).
+- Import from `./fixtures` if the project has one; otherwise `@playwright/test`.
+- **Important**: close the CLI session and stop the background test before moving to the next scenario.
+
+### 2.3 Generate multiple scenarios
+
+Loop 2.2 over the targeted scenarios one at a time, restarting the seed between each so every test starts from a clean page. This is safe to parallelise due to unique generated session names - just make sure each test run is stopped.
+
+### 2.4 Run generated tests
+
+After generation, run the new tests once:
+
+```bash
+PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never npx playwright test tests/<group>/<scenario>.spec.ts
+```
+
+Any failure goes to Section 3.
+
+---
+
+## 3. Heal
+
+Goal: fix failing tests, and update the spec if the app's intended behaviour changed.
+
+### 3.1 Find failing tests
+
+```bash
+PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never npx playwright test
+```
+
+Record the list of failing `<file>:<line>` entries and process them one at a time. Do not attempt parallel fixes — shared state and the single CLI session make that fragile.
+
+### 3.2 Debug one failure
+
+Run the single failing test in debug mode in the background, then attach:
+
+```bash
+PLAYWRIGHT_HTML_OPEN=never npx playwright test tests/<group>/<scenario>.spec.ts:<line> --debug=cli
+# wait for "Debugging Instructions" and the tw-XXXX session name
+playwright-cli attach tw-XXXX
+```
+
+The test is paused at the start. Step forward or run to until just before the failing action or assertion, then diagnose:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli snapshot                # did the element change / move / rename?
+playwright-cli console                 # app-side errors?
+playwright-cli requests                # failed request? wrong payload?
+playwright-cli show --annotate         # ask the user to point somewhere
+```
+
+Common causes: selector drift, new wrapper element, label/ARIA rename, timing (transition, async load), assertion text updated in the app, test data leaking between runs.
+
+Rehearse the corrected interaction with `playwright-cli` — the generated code in the output is what you paste back into the test.
+
+### 3.3 Apply the fix
+
+Edit the test file: update the locator, assertion, step order, or inputs to match the corrected behaviour. Stop the background debug run. Rerun the single test to confirm green.
+
+Never skip hooks or add sleeps as a fix. Never use `networkidle`.
+
+### 3.4 Reconcile with the spec
+
+Open the spec referenced by the `// spec:` header in the test file and locate the scenario that matches the test.
+
+- **Fix was purely technical** (locator drift, better assertion shape) and the spec's user-level behaviour still matches the app → leave the spec alone.
+- **Fix changed user-visible steps, inputs, order, or expected outcomes** that the spec describes → update the spec to match reality. Keep the scenario id and file path stable; only the step / expect lines change.
+- **Unclear whether the app change is intentional** (spec is stale) **or a regression** (test was right, app is wrong) → **stop and ask the user**. Provide:
+  - the scenario id (e.g. `2.3`),
+  - the spec lines that no longer match,
+  - the observed app behaviour (quote a snapshot excerpt or a concrete outcome).
+
+Only after the user answers, either update the spec (intentional change) or file/flag the test as covering a bug (regression).
+
+### 3.5 Iteration and giving up
+
+- Fix failures one at a time; rerun after each.
+- If after thorough investigation you are confident the test is correct but the app is wrong *and* the user has confirmed it's a bug: mark the test `test.fixme(...)` with a comment pointing at the user's decision or issue link. Never silently skip.

+# Storage Management
+
+Manage cookies, localStorage, sessionStorage, and browser storage state.
+
+## Storage State
+
+Save and restore complete browser state including cookies and storage.
+
+### Save Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Save to auto-generated filename (storage-state-{timestamp}.json)
+playwright-cli state-save
+
+# Save to specific filename
+playwright-cli state-save my-auth-state.json
+```
+
+### Restore Storage State
+
+```bash
+# Load storage state from file
+playwright-cli state-load my-auth-state.json
+
+# Reload page to apply cookies
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+```
+
+### Storage State File Format
+
+The saved file contains:
+
+```json
+{
+  "cookies": [
+    {
+      "name": "session_id",
+      "value": "abc123",
+      "domain": "example.com",
+      "path": "/",
+      "expires": 1893456000,
+      "httpOnly": true,
+      "secure": true,
+      "sameSite": "Lax"
+    }
+  ],
+  "origins": [
+    {
+      "origin": "https://example.com",
+      "localStorage": [
+        { "name": "theme", "value": "dark" },
+        { "name": "user_id", "value": "12345" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+## Cookies
+
+### List All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Domain
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --domain=example.com
+```
+
+### Filter Cookies by Path
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-list --path=/api
+```
+
+### Get Specific Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-get session_id
+```
+
+### Set a Cookie
+
+```bash
+# Basic cookie
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123
+
+# Cookie with options
+playwright-cli cookie-set session abc123 --domain=example.com --path=/ --httpOnly --secure --sameSite=Lax
+
+# Cookie with expiration (Unix timestamp)
+playwright-cli cookie-set remember_me token123 --expires=1893456000
+```
+
+### Delete a Cookie
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-delete session_id
+```
+
+### Clear All Cookies
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli cookie-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Cookies or Custom Options
+
+For complex scenarios like adding multiple cookies at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.context().addCookies([
+    { name: 'session_id', value: 'sess_abc123', domain: 'example.com', path: '/', httpOnly: true },
+    { name: 'preferences', value: JSON.stringify({ theme: 'dark' }), domain: 'example.com', path: '/' }
+  ]);
+}"
+```
+
+## Local Storage
+
+### List All localStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-get token
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set theme dark
+```
+
+### Set JSON Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-set user_settings '{"theme":"dark","language":"en"}'
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-delete token
+```
+
+### Clear All localStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli localstorage-clear
+```
+
+### Advanced: Multiple Operations
+
+For complex scenarios like setting multiple values at once, use `run-code`:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    localStorage.setItem('token', 'jwt_abc123');
+    localStorage.setItem('user_id', '12345');
+    localStorage.setItem('expires_at', Date.now() + 3600000);
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Session Storage
+
+### List All sessionStorage Items
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-list
+```
+
+### Get Single Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-get form_data
+```
+
+### Set Value
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-set step 3
+```
+
+### Delete Single Item
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-delete step
+```
+
+### Clear sessionStorage
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli sessionstorage-clear
+```
+
+## IndexedDB
+
+### List Databases
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  return await page.evaluate(async () => {
+    const databases = await indexedDB.databases();
+    return databases;
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+### Delete Database
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli run-code "async page => {
+  await page.evaluate(() => {
+    indexedDB.deleteDatabase('myDatabase');
+  });
+}"
+```
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+### Authentication State Reuse
+
+```bash
+# Step 1: Login and save state
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/login
+playwright-cli snapshot
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+playwright-cli click e3
+
+# Save the authenticated state
+playwright-cli state-save auth.json
+
+# Step 2: Later, restore state and skip login
+playwright-cli state-load auth.json
+playwright-cli open https://app.example.com/dashboard
+# Already logged in!
+```
+
+### Save and Restore Roundtrip
+
+```bash
+# Set up authentication state
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli eval "() => { document.cookie = 'session=abc123'; localStorage.setItem('user', 'john'); }"
+
+# Save state to file
+playwright-cli state-save my-session.json
+
+# ... later, in a new session ...
+
+# Restore state
+playwright-cli state-load my-session.json
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+# Cookies and localStorage are restored!
+```
+
+## Security Notes
+
+- Never commit storage state files containing auth tokens
+- Add `*.auth-state.json` to `.gitignore`
+- Delete state files after automation completes
+- Use environment variables for sensitive data
+- By default, sessions run in-memory mode which is safer for sensitive operations

+# Test Generation
+
+Generate Playwright test code automatically as you interact with the browser.
+
+## How It Works
+
+Every action you perform with `playwright-cli` generates corresponding Playwright TypeScript code.
+This code appears in the output and can be copied directly into your test files.
+
+## Example Workflow
+
+```bash
+# Start a session
+playwright-cli open https://example.com/login
+
+# Take a snapshot to see elements
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Output shows: e1 [textbox "Email"], e2 [textbox "Password"], e3 [button "Sign In"]
+
+# Fill form fields - generates code automatically
+playwright-cli fill e1 "user@example.com"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+
+playwright-cli fill e2 "password123"
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+
+playwright-cli click e3
+# Ran Playwright code:
+# await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+```
+
+## Building a Test File
+
+Collect the generated code into a Playwright test:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('login flow', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Generated code from playwright-cli session:
+  await page.goto('https://example.com/login');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' }).fill('user@example.com');
+  await page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Password' }).fill('password123');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
+
+  // Add assertions
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*dashboard/);
+});
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### 1. Use Semantic Locators
+
+The generated code uses role-based locators when possible, which are more resilient:
+
+```typescript
+// Generated (good - semantic)
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Avoid (fragile - CSS selectors)
+await page.locator('#submit-btn').click();
+```
+
+### 2. Explore Before Recording
+
+Take snapshots to understand the page structure before recording actions:
+
+```bash
+playwright-cli open https://example.com
+playwright-cli snapshot
+# Review the element structure
+playwright-cli click e5
+```
+
+### 3. Add Assertions Manually
+
+Generated code captures actions but not assertions. Add expectations in your test using one of the recommended matchers:
+
+- `toBeVisible()` — element is rendered and visible
+- `toHaveText(text)` — element text content matches
+- `toHaveValue(value) / toBeEmpty()` — input/select value matches
+- `toBeChecked() / toBeUnchecked()` — checkbox state matches
+- `toMatchAriaSnapshot(snapshot)` — page (or locator) matches a partial accessibility snapshot
+
+Use `playwright-cli generate-locator <target>` to produce the locator expression for the assertion, and the snapshot/eval commands to capture the expected value.
+
+When asserting text content, make sure that generated locator does not contain text from the element itself. `getByTestId()` or `getByLabel()` usually work well with asserting text. When locator is text-based, prefer `toBeVisible()` instead.
+
+Snapshot to be matched does not have to contain all the information - only capture what's necessary for the assertion. You can use regular expressions for unstable values.
+
+```bash
+# Get a stable locator for an element ref to use in the assertion
+playwright-cli --raw generate-locator e5
+# getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' })
+
+# Capture expected text content for toHaveText
+playwright-cli --raw eval "el => el.textContent" e5
+
+# Capture expected input value for toHaveValue/toBeEmpty
+playwright-cli --raw eval "el => el.value" e5
+
+# Capture expected aria snapshot for toMatchAriaSnapshot/toBeChecked
+# (whole page, or use a ref to scope to a region)
+playwright-cli --raw snapshot
+playwright-cli --raw snapshot e5
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Generated action
+await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+// Manual assertions using the outputs above:
+await expect(page.getByRole('alert', { name: 'Success' })).toBeVisible();
+await expect(page.getByTestId('main-header')).toHaveText('Welcome, user');
+await expect(page.getByRole('textbox', { name: 'Email' })).toHaveValue('user@example.com');
+await expect(page.getByRole('checkbox', { name: 'Enable notifications' })).toBeChecked();
+
+// toMatchAriaSnapshot on the whole page, finds a matching region
+await expect(page).toMatchAriaSnapshot(`
+  - heading "Welcome, user"
+  - link /\\d+ new messages?/
+  - button "Sign out"
+`);
+
+// toMatchAriaSnapshot scoped to a region
+await expect(page.getByRole('navigation')).toMatchAriaSnapshot(`
+  - link "Home"
+  - link /\\d+ new messages?/
+  - link "Profile"
+`);
+```
