-# Email-Based Authentication Testing
-
-## Principle
-
-Email-based authentication (magic links, one-time codes, passwordless login) requires specialized testing with email capture services like Mailosaur or Ethereal. Extract magic links via HTML parsing or use built-in link extraction, preserve browser storage (local/session/cookies) when processing links, cache email payloads to avoid exhausting inbox quotas, and cover negative cases (expired links, reused links, multiple rapid requests). Log email IDs and links for troubleshooting, but scrub PII before committing artifacts.
-
-## Rationale
-
-Email authentication introduces unique challenges: asynchronous email delivery, quota limits (AWS Cognito: 50/day), cost per email, and complex state management (session preservation across link clicks). Without proper patterns, tests become slow (wait for email each time), expensive (quota exhaustion), and brittle (timing issues, missing state). Using email capture services + session caching + state preservation patterns makes email auth tests fast, reliable, and cost-effective.
-
-## Pattern Examples
-
-### Example 1: Magic Link Extraction with Mailosaur
-
-**Context**: Passwordless login flow where user receives magic link via email, clicks it, and is authenticated.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// tests/e2e/magic-link-auth.spec.ts
-import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
-
-/**
- * Magic Link Authentication Flow
- * 1. User enters email
- * 2. Backend sends magic link
- * 3. Test retrieves email via Mailosaur
- * 4. Extract and visit magic link
- * 5. Verify user is authenticated
- */
-
-// Mailosaur configuration
-const MAILOSAUR_API_KEY = process.env.MAILOSAUR_API_KEY!;
-const MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID = process.env.MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID!;
-
-/**
- * Extract href from HTML email body
- * DOMParser provides XML/HTML parsing in Node.js
- */
-function extractMagicLink(htmlString: string): string | null {
-  const { JSDOM } = require('jsdom');
-  const dom = new JSDOM(htmlString);
-  const link = dom.window.document.querySelector('#magic-link-button');
-  return link ? (link as HTMLAnchorElement).href : null;
-}
-
-/**
- * Alternative: Use Mailosaur's built-in link extraction
- * Mailosaur automatically parses links - no regex needed!
- */
-async function getMagicLinkFromEmail(email: string): Promise<string> {
-  const MailosaurClient = require('mailosaur');
-  const mailosaur = new MailosaurClient(MAILOSAUR_API_KEY);
-
-  // Wait for email (timeout: 30 seconds)
-  const message = await mailosaur.messages.get(
-    MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID,
-    {
-      sentTo: email,
-    },
-    {
-      timeout: 30000, // 30 seconds
-    },
-  );
-
-  // Mailosaur extracts links automatically - no parsing needed!
-  const magicLink = message.html?.links?.[0]?.href;
-
-  if (!magicLink) {
-    throw new Error(`Magic link not found in email to ${email}`);
-  }
-
-  console.log(`📧 Email received. Magic link extracted: ${magicLink}`);
-  return magicLink;
-}
-
-test.describe('Magic Link Authentication', () => {
-  test('should authenticate user via magic link', async ({ page, context }) => {
-    // Arrange: Generate unique test email
-    const randomId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);
-    const testEmail = `user-${randomId}@${MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID}.mailosaur.net`;
-
-    // Act: Request magic link
-    await page.goto('/login');

-
-    // Assert: Success message
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('check-email-message')).toBeVisible();
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('check-email-message')).toContainText('Check your email');
-
-    // Retrieve magic link from email
-    const magicLink = await getMagicLinkFromEmail(testEmail);
-
-    // Visit magic link
-    await page.goto(magicLink);
-
-    // Assert: User is authenticated
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).toBeVisible();
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('user-email')).toContainText(testEmail);
-
-    // Verify session storage preserved
-    const localStorage = await page.evaluate(() => JSON.stringify(window.localStorage));
-    expect(localStorage).toContain('authToken');
-  });
-
-  test('should handle expired magic link', async ({ page }) => {
-    // Use pre-expired link (older than 15 minutes)
-    const expiredLink = 'http://localhost:3000/auth/verify?token=expired-token-123';
-
-    await page.goto(expiredLink);
-
-    // Assert: Error message displayed
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('error-message')).toBeVisible();
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('error-message')).toContainText('link has expired');
-
-    // Assert: User NOT authenticated
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).not.toBeVisible();
-  });
-
-  test('should prevent reusing magic link', async ({ page }) => {
-    const randomId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);
-    const testEmail = `user-${randomId}@${MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID}.mailosaur.net`;
-
-    // Request magic link
-    await page.goto('/login');
-    await page.getByTestId('email-input').fill(testEmail);
-    await page.getByTestId('send-magic-link').click();
-
-    const magicLink = await getMagicLinkFromEmail(testEmail);
-
-    // Visit link first time (success)
-    await page.goto(magicLink);
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).toBeVisible();
-
-    // Sign out
-    await page.getByTestId('sign-out').click();
-
-    // Try to reuse same link (should fail)
-    await page.goto(magicLink);
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('error-message')).toBeVisible();
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('error-message')).toContainText('link has already been used');
-  });
-});
-```
-
-**Cypress equivalent with Mailosaur plugin**:
-
-```javascript
-// cypress/e2e/magic-link-auth.cy.ts
-describe('Magic Link Authentication', () => {
-  it('should authenticate user via magic link', () => {
-    const serverId = Cypress.env('MAILOSAUR_SERVERID');
-    const randomId = Cypress._.random(1e6);
-    const testEmail = `user-${randomId}@${serverId}.mailosaur.net`;
-
-    // Request magic link
-    cy.visit('/login');
-    cy.get('[data-cy="email-input"]').type(testEmail);
-    cy.get('[data-cy="send-magic-link"]').click();
-    cy.get('[data-cy="check-email-message"]').should('be.visible');
-
-    // Retrieve and visit magic link
-    cy.mailosaurGetMessage(serverId, { sentTo: testEmail })
-      .its('html.links.0.href') // Mailosaur extracts links automatically!
-      .should('exist')
-      .then((magicLink) => {
-        cy.log(`Magic link: ${magicLink}`);
-        cy.visit(magicLink);
-      });
-
-    // Verify authenticated
-    cy.get('[data-cy="user-menu"]').should('be.visible');
-    cy.get('[data-cy="user-email"]').should('contain', testEmail);
-  });
-});
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Mailosaur auto-extraction**: `html.links[0].href` or `html.codes[0].value`
-- **Unique emails**: Random ID prevents collisions
-- **Negative testing**: Expired and reused links tested
-- **State verification**: localStorage/session checked
-- **Fast email retrieval**: 30 second timeout typical
-
----
-
-### Example 2: State Preservation Pattern with cy.session / Playwright storageState
-
-**Context**: Cache authenticated session to avoid requesting magic link on every test.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// playwright/fixtures/email-auth-fixture.ts
-import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
-import { getMagicLinkFromEmail } from '../support/mailosaur-helpers';
-
-type EmailAuthFixture = {
-  authenticatedUser: { email: string; token: string };
-};
-
-export const test = base.extend<EmailAuthFixture>({
-  authenticatedUser: async ({ page, context }, use) => {
-    const randomId = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000);
-    const testEmail = `user-${randomId}@${process.env.MAILOSAUR_SERVER_ID}.mailosaur.net`;
-
-    // Check if we have cached auth state for this email
-    const storageStatePath = `./test-results/auth-state-${testEmail}.json`;
-
-    try {
-      // Try to reuse existing session
-      await context.storageState({ path: storageStatePath });
-      await page.goto('/dashboard');
-
-      // Validate session is still valid
-      const isAuthenticated = await page.getByTestId('user-menu').isVisible({ timeout: 2000 });
-
-      if (isAuthenticated) {
-        console.log(`✅ Reusing cached session for ${testEmail}`);
-        await use({ email: testEmail, token: 'cached' });
-        return;
-      }
-    } catch (error) {
-      console.log(`📧 No cached session, requesting magic link for ${testEmail}`);
-    }
-
-    // Request new magic link
-    await page.goto('/login');
-    await page.getByTestId('email-input').fill(testEmail);
-    await page.getByTestId('send-magic-link').click();
-
-    // Get magic link from email
-    const magicLink = await getMagicLinkFromEmail(testEmail);
-
-    // Visit link and authenticate
-    await page.goto(magicLink);
-    await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).toBeVisible();
-
-    // Extract auth token from localStorage
-    const authToken = await page.evaluate(() => localStorage.getItem('authToken'));
-
-    // Save session state for reuse
-    await context.storageState({ path: storageStatePath });
-
-    console.log(`💾 Cached session for ${testEmail}`);
-
-    await use({ email: testEmail, token: authToken || '' });
-  },
-});
-```
-
-**Cypress equivalent with cy.session + data-session**:
-
-```javascript
-// cypress/support/commands/email-auth.js
-import { dataSession } from 'cypress-data-session';
-
-/**
- * Authenticate via magic link with session caching
- * - First run: Requests email, extracts link, authenticates
- * - Subsequent runs: Reuses cached session (no email)
- */
-Cypress.Commands.add('authViaMagicLink', (email) => {
-  return dataSession({
-    name: `magic-link-${email}`,
-
-    // First-time setup: Request and process magic link
-    setup: () => {
-      cy.visit('/login');
-      cy.get('[data-cy="email-input"]').type(email);
-      cy.get('[data-cy="send-magic-link"]').click();
-
-      // Get magic link from Mailosaur
-      cy.mailosaurGetMessage(Cypress.env('MAILOSAUR_SERVERID'), {
-        sentTo: email,
-      })
-        .its('html.links.0.href')
-        .should('exist')
-        .then((magicLink) => {
-          cy.visit(magicLink);
-        });
-
-      // Wait for authentication
-      cy.get('[data-cy="user-menu"]', { timeout: 10000 }).should('be.visible');
-
-      // Preserve authentication state
-      return cy.getAllLocalStorage().then((storage) => {
-        return { storage, email };
-      });
-    },
-
-    // Validate cached session is still valid
-    validate: (cached) => {
-      return cy.wrap(Boolean(cached?.storage));
-    },
-
-    // Recreate session from cache (no email needed)
-    recreate: (cached) => {
-      // Restore localStorage
-      cy.setLocalStorage(cached.storage);
-      cy.visit('/dashboard');
-      cy.get('[data-cy="user-menu"]', { timeout: 5000 }).should('be.visible');
-    },
-
-    shareAcrossSpecs: true, // Share session across all tests
-  });
-});
-```
-
-**Usage in tests**:
-
-```javascript
-// cypress/e2e/dashboard.cy.ts
-describe('Dashboard', () => {
-  const serverId = Cypress.env('MAILOSAUR_SERVERID');
-  const testEmail = `test-user@${serverId}.mailosaur.net`;
-
-  beforeEach(() => {
-    // First test: Requests magic link
-    // Subsequent tests: Reuses cached session (no email!)
-    cy.authViaMagicLink(testEmail);
-  });
-
-  it('should display user dashboard', () => {
-    cy.get('[data-cy="dashboard-content"]').should('be.visible');
-  });
-
-  it('should show user profile', () => {
-    cy.get('[data-cy="user-email"]').should('contain', testEmail);
-  });
-
-  // Both tests share same session - only 1 email consumed!
-});
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Session caching**: First test requests email, rest reuse session
-- **State preservation**: localStorage/cookies saved and restored
-- **Validation**: Check cached session is still valid
-- **Quota optimization**: Massive reduction in email consumption
-- **Fast tests**: Cached auth takes seconds vs. minutes

-### Example 3: Negative Flow Tests (Expired, Invalid, Reused Links)

-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- **Expired links**: Test 24+ hour old tokens
-- **Invalid tokens**: Malformed or garbage tokens rejected
-- **Reuse prevention**: Same link can't be used twice
-- **Rapid requests**: Multiple requests handled gracefully
-- **Rate limiting**: Excessive requests blocked

-**Playwright equivalent with storageState**:
-
-```typescript
-// playwright.config.ts
-import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
-
-export default defineConfig({
-  projects: [
-    {
-      name: 'setup',
-      testMatch: /global-setup\.ts/,
-    },
-    {
-      name: 'authenticated',
-      testMatch: /.*\.spec\.ts/,
-      dependencies: ['setup'],
-      use: {
-        storageState: '.auth/user-session.json', // Reuse auth state
-      },
-    },
-  ],
-});
-```
-
-```typescript
-// tests/global-setup.ts (runs once)
-import { test as setup } from '@playwright/test';
-import { getMagicLinkFromEmail } from './support/mailosaur-helpers';
-
-const authFile = '.auth/user-session.json';
-
-setup('authenticate via magic link', async ({ page }) => {
-  const testEmail = process.env.TEST_USER_EMAIL!;
-
-  // Request magic link
-  await page.goto('/login');
-  await page.getByTestId('email-input').fill(testEmail);
-  await page.getByTestId('send-magic-link').click();
-
-  // Get and visit magic link
-  const magicLink = await getMagicLinkFromEmail(testEmail);
-  await page.goto(magicLink);
-
-  // Verify authenticated
-  await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).toBeVisible();
-
-  // Save authenticated state (ONE TIME for all tests)
-  await page.context().storageState({ path: authFile });
-
-  console.log('✅ Authentication state saved to', authFile);
-});
-```

-**Key Points**:
-
-- **One email per run**: Global setup authenticates once
-- **State reuse**: All tests use cached storageState
-- **cypress-data-session**: Intelligently manages cache lifecycle
-- **shareAcrossSpecs**: Session shared across all spec files
-- **Massive savings**: 500 tests = 1 email (not 500!)

-## Email Authentication Testing Checklist
-
-Before implementing email auth tests, verify:
-
-- [ ] **Email service**: Mailosaur/Ethereal/MailHog configured with API keys
-- [ ] **Link extraction**: Use built-in parsing (html.links[0].href) over regex
-- [ ] **State preservation**: localStorage/session/cookies saved and restored
-- [ ] **Session caching**: cypress-data-session or storageState prevents redundant emails
-- [ ] **Negative flows**: Expired, invalid, reused, rapid requests tested
-- [ ] **Quota awareness**: One email per run (not per test)
-- [ ] **PII scrubbing**: Email IDs logged for debug, but scrubbed from artifacts
-- [ ] **Timeout handling**: 30 second email retrieval timeout configured
-
-## Integration Points
-
-- Used in workflows: `*framework` (email auth setup), `*automate` (email auth test generation)
-- Related fragments: `fixture-architecture.md`, `test-quality.md`
-- Email services: Mailosaur (recommended), Ethereal (free), MailHog (self-hosted)
-- Plugins: cypress-mailosaur, cypress-data-session
