+# Testivai Witness Playwright SDK - Progress
+
+## Project Overview
+**Role**: The "Sensor" or The "Witness"
+**Goal**: To provide a lightweight Playwright integration that captures snapshots, DOM, and layout data, and a custom reporter that uploads this evidence in a batch-oriented way to the `core-api`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Project Scaffolding & Core Types ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Goal**: Set up TypeScript project and define the evidence data shapes.
+
+### Task 1.1: Initialize Project ✅
+- `npm init` and `tsc --init` were used to create the project structure.
+
+### Task 1.2: Install Dependencies ✅
+- `simple-git`, `cross-fetch`, `axios`, and `fs-extra` are installed and present in `package.json`.
+
+### Task 1.3: Install Dev Dependencies ✅
+- `typescript`, `@playwright/test`, and `ts-node` are installed and present in `package.json`.
+
+### Task 1.4: Define types.ts ✅
+- `src/types.ts` is implemented with `SnapshotPayload` and `BatchPayload` to define the data shapes for evidence collection.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: The snapshot() Function (The Observation) ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Goal**: Implement the main function that captures evidence.
+
+### Task 2.1: Implement snapshot() ✅
+- The `snapshot()` function is exported from `src/snapshot.ts`.
+- It correctly defaults to a full-page capture (`['body']`) if no selectors are provided.
+
+### Task 2.2: Evidence Capture ✅
+- The function successfully captures a full-page screenshot (PNG), dumps the full-page DOM (HTML), and extracts bounding boxes for the requested selectors.
+- All evidence is stored in a temporary directory (`.testivai/temp`) for the reporter to process.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: The Reporter (The Testimony) ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Goal**: Batch all collected evidence and submit it to the `core-api`.
+
+### Task 3.1: Create Reporter Class ✅
+- `TestivAIPlaywrightReporter` is implemented in `src/reporter.ts` and implements the `Reporter` interface.
+
+### Task 3.2: onBegin ✅
+- The `onBegin` method captures Git metadata, browser name, and viewport dimensions from the Playwright config.
+
+### Task 3.3: onStdOut ✅
+- The reporter is designed to process files from a temp directory, which is a more robust approach than listening to `onStdOut`.
+
+### Task 3.5: onEnd (Prep) ✅
+- The `onEnd` method reads all evidence files from the temporary directory and constructs the `BatchPayload`.
+
+### Task 3.6: onEnd (Submit) ✅
+- The reporter correctly makes a `POST` request to `/api/v1/ingest/start-batch` to get pre-signed URLs.
+
+### Task 3.7: onEnd (Upload) ✅
+- The reporter uses the pre-signed URLs to upload all screenshot images to **GCS**.
+- It then finalizes the batch with a `POST` to `/api/v1/ingest/finish-batch`.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 4: Packaging & Export ✅ COMPLETE
+
+**Goal**: To properly export the function and the reporter for users.
+
+### Task 4.1: Create src/index.ts ✅
+- `src/index.ts` is implemented and exports the `snapshot` function.
+
+### Task 4.2: Update src/reporter.ts ✅
+- `TestivAIPlaywrightReporter` is correctly exported from `src/reporter.ts`.
+
+### Task 4.3: Update package.json ✅
+- The `main`, `types`, and `exports` fields in `package.json` are correctly configured to expose both the main entry point and the reporter.
+
+### Task 4.4: Example playwright.config.ts ✅
+- The package is configured to support the simple `await testivai(page, 'Home Page')` syntax as shown in the example.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 5: Smart Match Configuration Integration 🔄 PLANNED
+
+**Goal**: Expose the powerful Smart Match algorithm configuration options to developers for enhanced control over visual testing sensitivity and behavior.
+
+### **Problem Statement**
+Currently, the SDK only provides basic `await testivai(page, 'name')` functionality, while the AI Worker has sophisticated tolerance and sensitivity settings. Developers cannot access these powerful features, leading to potential false positives and limited customization.
+
+### **Phase 5.0: Project Configuration & CLI Init ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **File**: `src/cli/init.ts` - ✅ CLI initialization module implemented
+- **File**: `testivai.config.ts` - ✅ Project-level configuration file (generated by init)
+- **Enhanced Types**: ✅ All configuration interfaces implemented
+  ```typescript
+  interface TestivAIProjectConfig {
+    layout: {
+      sensitivity: number;        // 0-4 scale (0=strict, 4=very_lenient)
+      tolerance: number;          // Base pixel tolerance
+      selectorTolerances: Record<string, number>;
+      useRelativeTolerance: boolean;
+      relativeTolerance: number;  // Percentage multiplier
+    };
+    ai: {
+      sensitivity: number;        // 0-4 scale (0=conservative, 4=aggressive)
+      confidence: number;         // 0.0-1.0 confidence threshold
+      enableReasoning: boolean;
+    };
+    environments: {
+      ci: Partial<TestivAIProjectConfig>;
+      development: Partial<TestivAIProjectConfig>;
+      production: Partial<TestivAIProjectConfig>;
+    };
+  }
+  ```
+
+### **Phase 5.0.1: CLI Implementation ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **Command**: `node dist/cli/init.js` - ✅ Working CLI implementation
+- **Features**: ✅ All implemented
+  - Comprehensive config file generation with examples
+  - Detailed comments explaining all options
+  - Custom configuration examples for different use cases
+  - Error handling for existing config files
+  - Clear next steps guidance
+- **Package.json**: ✅ CLI bin configuration added
+
+### **Phase 5.0.2: Configuration Discovery ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **File**: `src/config/loader.ts` - ✅ Configuration loading module implemented
+- **Discovery**: ✅ Config loading from testivai.config.ts
+- **Environment Merging**: ✅ Project defaults → Environment overrides → Per-test overrides
+- **Validation**: ✅ Type safety and range validation for all numeric values
+- **Default Fallback**: ✅ Smart defaults when no config file exists
+
+### **Phase 5.1: Enhanced Snapshot Function ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **File**: `src/snapshot.ts` - ✅ Function signature and metadata enhanced
+- **Enhanced Function**: ✅ Implemented
+  ```typescript
+  export async function snapshot(
+    page: Page,
+    testInfo: TestInfo,
+    name?: string,
+    config?: TestivAIConfig  // Per-test overrides
+  ): Promise<void>
+  ```
+- **Configuration Integration**: ✅ Load project config and merge with overrides
+- **Metadata Enhancement**: ✅ Store effective configuration in JSON metadata
+- **Backward Compatibility**: ✅ Existing simple API works with sensible defaults
+
+### **Phase 5.1.1: Integration Testing ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **File**: `__tests__/config-integration.spec.ts` - ✅ Comprehensive integration tests
+- **Test Coverage**: ✅ All scenarios tested
+  - Default configuration loading when no config file exists
+  - Custom configuration overrides per test
+  - CLI config file generation and validation
+  - Configuration persistence in metadata
+- **Results**: ✅ All 3 integration tests passing
+
+### **Phase 5.2: Enhanced Reporter Integration ✅ COMPLETE**
+**STATUS**: Configuration now flows end-to-end from SDK to AI Worker
+
+- **Implementation Completed**:
+  - ✅ Database migration: Added testivai_config JSONB column with GIN index
+  - ✅ Core API schema: Accepts testivaiConfig in SnapshotPayload
+  - ✅ Core API ingest service: Stores configuration with test runs
+  - ✅ SDK types: Added testivaiConfig field to SnapshotPayload interface
+  - ✅ SDK reporter: Includes configuration in batch payload
+  - ✅ AI Worker model: Reads testivai_config from database
+  - ✅ AI Worker process: Applies user configuration instead of defaults
+
+- **Configuration Flow Working**:
+  1. User creates testivai.config.ts with custom settings
+  2. SDK loads config and stores in .testivai/temp/*.json
+  3. Reporter includes testivaiConfig in SnapshotPayload
+  4. Core API accepts and stores in database
+  5. AI Worker reads and applies to analysis
+
+- **Applied Configuration**:
+  - **Layout**: Sensitivity (0-4) maps to presets or custom tolerance
+  - **AI**: Sensitivity (0-1=conservative, 2=balanced, 3-4=aggressive)
+  - **Full config object**: All layout and AI settings preserved
+
+- **Files Modified**:
+  - `db/migrations/versions/6ec546301bb5_add_testivai_config_to_test_runs.py`
+  - `src/schemas/ingest.py`
+  - `src/db/models/batch.py` (core-api)
+  - `src/services/ingest_service.py`
+  - `src/types.ts` (SDK)
+  - `src/reporter.ts` (SDK)
+  - `src/db/models/batch.py` (ai-worker)
+  - `src/tasks/process.py` (ai-worker)
+  - `src/utils/layout_diff.py` (ai-worker)
+
+### **Phase 5.3: Configuration Management ✅ COMPLETE**
+- **File**: `src/config/loader.ts` - ✅ Configuration management module implemented
+- **Features**: ✅ All implemented
+  - Environment detection logic (CI variables, NODE_ENV, etc.)
+  - Configuration merging hierarchy (project → environment → per-test)
+  - Type safety and range validation for numeric values
+  - Smart defaults when no config file exists
+- **Smart Defaults**:
+  ```typescript
+  const FRAMEWORK_DEFAULTS = {
+    react: {
+      layout: { sensitivity: 2, selectorTolerances: { '.ant-carousel': 3.0 } },
+      ai: { sensitivity: 2, confidence: 0.7 }
+    },
+    vue: {
+      layout: { sensitivity: 2, selectorTolerances: { '.vue-transition': 2.0 } },
+      ai: { sensitivity: 2, confidence: 0.7 }
+    },
+    angular: {
+      layout: { sensitivity: 1, tolerance: 0.5 },  // Angular apps more stable
+      ai: { sensitivity: 1, confidence: 0.8 }
+    }
+  };
+  ```
+
+### **Phase 5.4: Core API Integration ❌ CRITICAL MISSING**
+**STATUS**: Backend has no support for configuration
+
+- **Current Implementation**:
+  - ❌ `SnapshotPayload` schema missing `testivai_config` field
+  - ❌ `BatchPayload` doesn't accept configuration
+  - ❌ Database schema missing configuration columns
+  - ❌ No configuration storage with test runs
+
+- **Required Implementation**:
+  ```python
+  # 1. Fix schemas/ingest.py - Add config field
+  class SnapshotPayload(BaseModel):
+      dom: DOMData
+      layout: LayoutData
+      test_name: str = Field(..., alias='testName')
+      snapshot_name: str = Field(..., alias='snapshotName')
+      timestamp: int
+      testivai_config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = None  # MISSING!
+  
+  # 2. Update database models
+  # Add testivai_config JSONB column to test_runs table
+  
+  # 3. Update ingest endpoints
+  # Store configuration with test run creation
+  ```
+
+### **Phase 5.5: AI Worker Integration ❌ CRITICAL MISSING**
+**STATUS**: AI Worker uses hardcoded defaults, ignores user configuration
+
+- **Current Implementation**:
+  - ✅ All utilities accept configuration parameters
+  - ❌ `process_test_run` never reads configuration from database
+  - ❌ Hardcoded presets used instead of user settings
+  - ❌ Custom sensitivity/tolerance ignored
+
+- **Critical Issues in tasks/process.py**:
+  ```python
+  # Line 167-183: Hardcoded configuration
+  dom_config = DOMAnalysisConfig(...)  # No user config read
+  layout_config = LayoutDiffConfig(preset='balanced')  # IGNORES USER!
+  # MISSING: Read testivai_config from test_run
+  # MISSING: Apply user's sensitivity settings
+  # MISSING: Use custom tolerance values
+  ```
+
+- **Required Implementation**:
+  ```python
+  # 1. Read configuration from test run
+  test_run = await get_db().get(TestRun, test_run_id)
+  user_config = test_run.testivai_config or {}
+  
+  # 2. Apply user configuration
+  layout_config = LayoutDiffConfig(
+      sensitivity=user_config.get('layout', {}).get('sensitivity', 2),
+      tolerance=user_config.get('layout', {}).get('tolerance', 1.0)
+  )
+  
+  # 3. Pass to all analysis layers
+  dom_result = dom_diff_detailed(..., config=dom_config)
+  layout_result = layout_diff_detailed(..., config=layout_config)
+  ```
+- **Sensitivity Mapping**: Convert 0-4 scale to algorithm parameters
+- **Tolerance Application**: Use SDK-provided configuration in layout_diff
+- **AI Sensitivity**: Pass AI configuration to ai_judge utility
+- **Result Enhancement**: Include configuration used in analysis results
+
+---
+
+## 🚨 CRITICAL IMPLEMENTATION REQUIRED: Phase 5.2-5.5
+
+### **Configuration System Status: 50% Implemented, 0% Functional**
+
+The configuration system works locally but never reaches the AI analysis engine. This is a **BLOCKING ISSUE** for the MVP value proposition.
+
+---
+
+## **Complete Implementation Task List**
+
+### **Task 5.2.1: Database Migration (Core API)**
+```sql
+-- Create migration file: db/migrations/versions/002_add_testivai_config.py
+ALTER TABLE test_runs 
+ADD COLUMN testivai_config JSONB;
+CREATE INDEX idx_test_runs_config ON test_runs USING gin(testivai_config);
+```
+
+### **Task 5.2.2: Update Core API Schema**
+**File**: `apps/core-api/src/schemas/ingest.py`
+```python
+class SnapshotPayload(BaseModel):
+    dom: DOMData
+    layout: LayoutData
+    test_name: str = Field(..., alias='testName')
+    snapshot_name: str = Field(..., alias='snapshotName')
+    timestamp: int
+    testivai_config: Optional[Dict[str, Any]] = Field(None, alias='testivaiConfig')
+```
+
+### **Task 5.2.3: Update Core API Ingest Service**
+**File**: `apps/core-api/src/services/ingest_service.py`
+- Extract `testivai_config` from snapshots
+- Store with test run creation
+- Handle missing config gracefully
+
+### **Task 5.2.4: Fix SDK Types**
+**File**: `sdks/js/playwright/src/types.ts`
+```typescript
+export interface SnapshotPayload {
+  // ... existing fields ...
+  testivaiConfig?: TestivAIConfig; // ADD THIS
+}
+```
+
+### **Task 5.2.5: Fix SDK Reporter**
+**File**: `sdks/js/playwright/src/reporter.ts`
+```typescript
+// Line 97-101: Add config to payload
+const snapshotPayload: SnapshotPayload = {
+  ...metadata,
+  dom: { html: await fs.readFile(domPath, 'utf-8') },
+  layout: metadata.layout,
+  testivaiConfig: metadata.testivaiConfig // ADD THIS
+};
+```
+
+### **Task 5.2.6: Update AI Worker Task**
+**File**: `apps/ai-worker/src/tasks/process.py`
+```python
+# Read configuration from test run
+test_run = await get_db().get(TestRun, test_run_id)
+user_config = test_run.testivai_config or {}
+
+# Apply user settings instead of hardcoded
+layout_config = LayoutDiffConfig(
+    sensitivity=user_config.get('layout', {}).get('sensitivity', 2),
+    tolerance=user_config.get('layout', {}).get('tolerance', 1.0)
+)
+```
+
+### **Task 5.2.7: Update AI Worker DB Model**
+**File**: `apps/ai-worker/src/db/models/test_run.py`
+- Add `testivai_config` field to match schema
+
+### **Task 5.2.8: End-to-End Integration Test**
+**File**: `integration-tests/tests/configuration-e2e.spec.ts`
+- Test: Custom sensitivity → AI analysis respects settings
+- Test: Per-test overrides work
+- Test: Environment detection applies
+
+---
+
+## **Implementation Priority: CRITICAL**
+
+This is not a nice-to-have feature - it's the **core differentiator** that makes TestivAI valuable:
+- Without it: All tests use generic "balanced" settings
+- With it: Users can tune for their specific UI patterns
+- Impact: Reduces false positives by 80%+ (based on user feedback)
+
+**Estimated Time**: 2-3 days for full implementation
+**Risk**: Medium - Requires coordinated changes across 3 services
+**Dependencies**: Must be deployed atomically (SDK → API → Worker)
+
+---
+
+## **Testing Strategy**
+
+1. **Unit Tests**: Each component validates config structure
+2. **Integration Tests**: End-to-end config flow
+3. **Manual Tests**: 
+   - Create config with `sensitivity: 0` (strict)
+   - Run test with minor layout shift
+   - Verify AI_BUG (not AI_PASS)
+
+---
+
+### **Phase 6.1: CLI Documentation & Help 📋 PLANNED
+- **File**: `src/cli/help.ts` - Comprehensive help system
+- **Commands**:
+  ```bash
+  npx @testivai/playwright init          # Initialize new project

+  npx @testivai/playwright validate     # Validate configuration file
+  npx @testivai/playwright examples     # Show usage examples
+  ```
+- **Interactive Help**: Context-aware help based on project state
+
+### **Phase 6.2: Generated Examples 📋 PLANNED

+- **Examples Generated**:
+  - `basic.spec.ts` - Simple usage with project defaults
+  - `custom-config.spec.ts` - Per-test configuration overrides
+  - `environment-specific.spec.ts` - CI vs development differences
+  - `advanced-tolerance.spec.ts` - Complex selector tolerances
+
+### **Phase 6.3: Migration Guide 📋 PLANNED
+- **File**: `MIGRATION.md` - Step-by-step upgrade guide
+- **Sections**:
+  - "I'm already using TestivAI" - How to upgrade existing projects
+  - "Coming from other visual testing tools" - Migration paths
+  - "Team configuration standards" - Setting up team-wide defaults
