+description: Understanding how TEA eliminates test flakiness by waiting for actual network responses
+---
+
+# Network-First Patterns Explained
+
+Network-first patterns are TEA's solution to test flakiness. Instead of guessing how long to wait with fixed timeouts, wait for the actual network event that causes UI changes.
+
+## Overview
+
+**The Core Principle:**
+UI changes because APIs respond. Wait for the API response, not an arbitrary timeout.
+
+**Traditional approach:**
+```typescript
+await page.click('button');
+await page.waitForTimeout(3000);  // Hope 3 seconds is enough
+await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+**Network-first approach:**
+```typescript
+const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse(
+  resp => resp.url().includes('/api/submit') && resp.ok()
+);
+await page.click('button');
+await responsePromise;  // Wait for actual response
+await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+**Result:** Deterministic tests that wait exactly as long as needed.
+
+## The Problem
+
+### Hard Waits Create Flakiness
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ The flaky test pattern
+test('should submit form', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.fill('#name', 'Test User');
+  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+
+  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);  // Wait 2 seconds
+
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Why this fails:**
+- **Fast network:** Wastes 1.5 seconds waiting
+- **Slow network:** Not enough time, test fails
+- **CI environment:** Slower than local, fails randomly
+- **Under load:** API takes 3 seconds, test fails
+
+**Result:** "Works on my machine" syndrome, flaky CI.
+
+### The Timeout Escalation Trap
+
+```typescript
+// Developer sees flaky test
+await page.waitForTimeout(2000);  // Failed in CI
+
+// Increases timeout
+await page.waitForTimeout(5000);  // Still fails sometimes
+
+// Increases again
+await page.waitForTimeout(10000);  // Now it passes... slowly
+
+// Problem: Now EVERY test waits 10 seconds
+// Suite that took 5 minutes now takes 30 minutes
+```
+
+**Result:** Slow, still-flaky tests.
+
+### Race Conditions
+
+```typescript
+// ❌ Navigate-then-wait race condition
+test('should load dashboard data', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');  // Navigation starts
+
+  // Race condition! API might not have responded yet
+  await expect(page.locator('.data-table')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**What happens:**
+1. `goto()` starts navigation
+2. Page loads HTML
+3. JavaScript requests `/api/dashboard`
+4. Test checks for `.data-table` BEFORE API responds
+5. Test fails intermittently
+
+**Result:** "Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't."
+
+## The Solution: Intercept-Before-Navigate
+
+### Wait for Response Before Asserting
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Good: Network-first pattern
+test('should load dashboard data', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Set up promise BEFORE navigation
+  const dashboardPromise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/dashboard') && resp.ok()
+  );
+
+  // Navigate
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  // Wait for API response
+  const response = await dashboardPromise;
+  const data = await response.json();
+
+  // Now assert UI
+  await expect(page.locator('.data-table')).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.locator('.data-table tr')).toHaveCount(data.items.length);
+});
+```
+
+**Why this works:**
+- Wait set up BEFORE navigation (no race)
+- Wait for actual API response (deterministic)
+- No fixed timeout (fast when API is fast)
+- Validates API response (catch backend errors)
+
+**With Playwright Utils (Even Cleaner):**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+import { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('should load dashboard data', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // Set up interception BEFORE navigation
+  const dashboardCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'GET',
+    url: '**/api/dashboard'
+  });
+
+  // Navigate
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  // Wait for API response (automatic JSON parsing)
+  const { status, responseJson: data } = await dashboardCall;
+
+  // Validate API response
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+  expect(data.items).toBeDefined();
+
+  // Assert UI matches API data
+  await expect(page.locator('.data-table')).toBeVisible();
+  await expect(page.locator('.data-table tr')).toHaveCount(data.items.length);
+});
+```
+
+**Playwright Utils Benefits:**
+- Automatic JSON parsing (no `await response.json()`)
+- Returns `{ status, responseJson, requestJson }` structure
+- Cleaner API (no need to check `resp.ok()`)
+- Same intercept-before-navigate pattern
+
+### Intercept-Before-Navigate Pattern
+
+**Key insight:** Set up wait BEFORE triggering the action.
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Pattern: Intercept → Action → Await
+
+// 1. Intercept (set up wait)
+const promise = page.waitForResponse(matcher);
+
+// 2. Action (trigger request)
+await page.click('button');
+
+// 3. Await (wait for actual response)
+await promise;
+```
+
+**Why this order:**
+- `waitForResponse()` starts listening immediately
+- Then trigger the action that makes the request
+- Then wait for the promise to resolve
+- No race condition possible
+
+#### Intercept-Before-Navigate Flow

+    end
+```
+
+**Correct Order (Green):**
+1. Set up listener (`waitForResponse`)
+2. Trigger action (`click`)
+3. Wait for response (`await promise`)
+
+**Wrong Order (Red):**
+1. Trigger action first
+2. Set up listener too late
+3. Response already happened - missed!
+
+## How It Works in TEA
+
+### TEA Generates Network-First Tests
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// When you run *atdd or *automate, TEA generates:
+
+test('should create user', async ({ page }) => {
+  // TEA automatically includes network wait
+  const createUserPromise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/users') &&
+            resp.request().method() === 'POST' &&
+            resp.ok()
+  );
+
+  await page.fill('#name', 'Test User');
+  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+
+  const response = await createUserPromise;
+  const user = await response.json();
+
+  // Validate both API and UI
+  expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toContainText(user.name);
+});
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils (if `tea_use_playwright_utils: true`):**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+import { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('should create user', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // TEA uses interceptNetworkCall for cleaner interception
+  const createUserCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'POST',
+    url: '**/api/users'
+  });
+
+  await page.getByLabel('Name').fill('Test User');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+  // Wait for response (automatic JSON parsing)
+  const { status, responseJson: user } = await createUserCall;
+
+  // Validate both API and UI
+  expect(status).toBe(201);
+  expect(user.id).toBeDefined();
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toContainText(user.name);
+});
+```
+
+**Playwright Utils Benefits:**
+- Automatic JSON parsing (`responseJson` ready to use)
+- No manual `await response.json()`
+- Returns `{ status, responseJson }` structure
+- Cleaner, more readable code
+
+### TEA Reviews for Hard Waits
+
+When you run `*test-review`:
+
+```markdown
+## Critical Issue: Hard Wait Detected
+
+**File:** tests/e2e/submit.spec.ts:45
+**Issue:** Using `page.waitForTimeout(3000)`
+**Severity:** Critical (causes flakiness)
+
+**Current Code:**
+```typescript
+await page.click('button');
+await page.waitForTimeout(3000);  // ❌
+```
+
+**Fix:**
+```typescript
+const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse(
+  resp => resp.url().includes('/api/submit') && resp.ok()
+);
+await page.click('button');
+await responsePromise;  // ✅
+```
+
+**Why:** Hard waits are non-deterministic. Use network-first patterns.
+```
+
+## Pattern Variations
+
+### Basic Response Wait
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// Wait for any successful response
+const promise = page.waitForResponse(resp => resp.ok());
+await page.click('button');
+await promise;
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('basic wait', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const responseCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**' });  // Match any
+  await page.click('button');
+  const { status } = await responseCall;
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Specific URL Match
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// Wait for specific endpoint
+const promise = page.waitForResponse(
+  resp => resp.url().includes('/api/users/123')
+);
+await page.goto('/user/123');
+await promise;
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+test('specific URL', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const userCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users/123' });
+  await page.goto('/user/123');
+  const { status, responseJson } = await userCall;
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Method + Status Match
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// Wait for POST that returns 201
+const promise = page.waitForResponse(
+  resp =>
+    resp.url().includes('/api/users') &&
+    resp.request().method() === 'POST' &&
+    resp.status() === 201
+);
+await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+await promise;
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+test('method and status', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const createCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'POST',
+    url: '**/api/users'
+  });
+  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+  const { status, responseJson } = await createCall;
+  expect(status).toBe(201);  // Explicit status check
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Multiple Responses
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// Wait for multiple API calls
+const [usersResp, postsResp] = await Promise.all([
+  page.waitForResponse(resp => resp.url().includes('/api/users')),
+  page.waitForResponse(resp => resp.url().includes('/api/posts')),
+  page.goto('/dashboard')  // Triggers both requests
+]);
+
+const users = await usersResp.json();
+const posts = await postsResp.json();
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+test('multiple responses', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/users' });
+  const postsCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/posts' });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');  // Triggers both
+
+  const [{ responseJson: users }, { responseJson: posts }] = await Promise.all([
+    usersCall,
+    postsCall
+  ]);
+
+  expect(users).toBeInstanceOf(Array);
+  expect(posts).toBeInstanceOf(Array);
+});
+```
+
+---
+
+### Validate Response Data
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+// Verify API response before asserting UI
+const promise = page.waitForResponse(
+  resp => resp.url().includes('/api/checkout') && resp.ok()
+);
+
+await page.click('button:has-text("Complete Order")');
+
+const response = await promise;
+const order = await response.json();
+
+// Response validation
+expect(order.status).toBe('confirmed');
+expect(order.total).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+// UI validation
+await expect(page.locator('.order-confirmation')).toContainText(order.id);
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+test('validate response data', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const checkoutCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'POST',
+    url: '**/api/checkout'
+  });
+
+  await page.click('button:has-text("Complete Order")');
+
+  const { status, responseJson: order } = await checkoutCall;
+
+  // Response validation (automatic JSON parsing)
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+  expect(order.status).toBe('confirmed');
+  expect(order.total).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+  // UI validation
+  await expect(page.locator('.order-confirmation')).toContainText(order.id);
+});
+```
+
+## Advanced Patterns
+
+### HAR Recording for Offline Testing
+
+**Vanilla Playwright (Manual HAR Handling):**
+
+```typescript
+// First run: Record mode (saves HAR file)
+test('offline testing - RECORD', async ({ page, context }) => {
+  // Record mode: Save network traffic to HAR
+  await context.routeFromHAR('./hars/dashboard.har', {
+    url: '**/api/**',
+    update: true  // Update HAR file
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  // All network traffic saved to dashboard.har
+});
+
+// Subsequent runs: Playback mode (uses saved HAR)
+test('offline testing - PLAYBACK', async ({ page, context }) => {
+  // Playback mode: Use saved network traffic
+  await context.routeFromHAR('./hars/dashboard.har', {
+    url: '**/api/**',
+    update: false  // Use existing HAR, no network calls
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  // Uses recorded responses, no backend needed
+});
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils (Automatic HAR Management):**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/network-recorder/fixtures';
+
+// Record mode: Set environment variable
+process.env.PW_NET_MODE = 'record';
+
+test('should work offline', async ({ page, context, networkRecorder }) => {
+  await networkRecorder.setup(context);  // Handles HAR automatically
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  await page.click('#add-item');
+  // All network traffic recorded, CRUD operations detected
+});
+```
+
+**Switch to playback:**
+```bash
+# Playback mode (offline)
+PW_NET_MODE=playback npx playwright test
+# Uses HAR file, no backend needed!
+```
+
+**Playwright Utils Benefits:**
+- Automatic HAR file management (naming, paths)
+- CRUD operation detection (stateful mocking)
+- Environment variable control (easy switching)
+- Works for complex interactions (create, update, delete)
+- No manual route configuration
+
+### Network Request Interception
+
+**Vanilla Playwright:**
+```typescript
+test('should handle API error', async ({ page }) => {
+  // Manual route setup
+  await page.route('**/api/users', (route) => {
+    route.fulfill({
+      status: 500,
+      body: JSON.stringify({ error: 'Internal server error' })
+    });
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/users');
+
+  const response = await page.waitForResponse('**/api/users');
+  const error = await response.json();
+
+  expect(error.error).toContain('Internal server');
+  await expect(page.locator('.error-message')).toContainText('Server error');
+});
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('should handle API error', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  // Stub API to return error (set up BEFORE navigation)
+  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'GET',
+    url: '**/api/users',
+    fulfillResponse: {
+      status: 500,
+      body: { error: 'Internal server error' }
+    }
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/users');
+
+  // Wait for mocked response and access parsed data
+  const { status, responseJson } = await usersCall;
+
+  expect(status).toBe(500);
+  expect(responseJson.error).toContain('Internal server');
+  await expect(page.locator('.error-message')).toContainText('Server error');
+});
+```
+
+**Playwright Utils Benefits:**
+- Automatic JSON parsing (`responseJson` ready to use)
+- Returns promise with `{ status, responseJson, requestJson }`
+- No need to pass `page` (auto-injected by fixture)
+- Glob pattern matching (simpler than regex)
+- Single declarative call (setup + wait in one)
+
+## Comparison: Traditional vs Network-First
+
+### Loading Dashboard Data
+
+**Traditional (Flaky):**
+```typescript
+test('dashboard loads data', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+  await page.waitForTimeout(2000);  // ❌ Magic number
+  await expect(page.locator('table tr')).toHaveCount(5);
+});
+```
+
+**Failure modes:**
+- API takes 2.5s → test fails
+- API returns 3 items not 5 → hard to debug (which issue?)
+- CI slower than local → fails in CI only
+
+**Network-First (Deterministic):**
+```typescript
+test('dashboard loads data', async ({ page }) => {
+  const apiPromise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/dashboard') && resp.ok()
+  );
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  const response = await apiPromise;
+  const { items } = await response.json();
+
+  // Validate API response
+  expect(items).toHaveLength(5);
+
+  // Validate UI matches API
+  await expect(page.locator('table tr')).toHaveCount(items.length);
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Waits exactly as long as needed (100ms or 5s, doesn't matter)
+- Validates API response (catch backend errors)
+- Validates UI matches API (catch frontend bugs)
+- Works in any environment (local, CI, staging)
+
+**With Playwright Utils (Even Better):**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('dashboard loads data', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const dashboardCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'GET',
+    url: '**/api/dashboard'
+  });
+
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  const { status, responseJson: { items } } = await dashboardCall;
+
+  // Validate API response (automatic JSON parsing)
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+  expect(items).toHaveLength(5);
+
+  // Validate UI matches API
+  await expect(page.locator('table tr')).toHaveCount(items.length);
+});
+```
+
+**Additional Benefits:**
+- No manual `await response.json()` (automatic parsing)
+- Cleaner destructuring of nested data
+- Consistent API across all network calls
+

+
+### Form Submission
+
+**Traditional (Flaky):**
+```typescript
+test('form submission', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.fill('#email', 'test@example.com');
+  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+  await page.waitForTimeout(3000);  // ❌ Hope it's enough
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Network-First (Deterministic):**
+```typescript
+test('form submission', async ({ page }) => {
+  const submitPromise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/submit') &&
+            resp.request().method() === 'POST' &&
+            resp.ok()
+  );
+
+  await page.fill('#email', 'test@example.com');
+  await page.click('button[type="submit"]');
+
+  const response = await submitPromise;
+  const result = await response.json();
+
+  expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils:**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('form submission', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const submitCall = interceptNetworkCall({
+    method: 'POST',
+    url: '**/api/submit'
+  });
+
+  await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@example.com');
+  await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Submit' }).click();
+
+  const { status, responseJson: result } = await submitCall;
+
+  // Automatic JSON parsing, no manual await
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+  expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+  await expect(page.locator('.success')).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+**Progression:**
+- Traditional: Hard waits (flaky)
+- Network-First (Vanilla): waitForResponse (deterministic)
+- Network-First (PW-Utils): interceptNetworkCall (deterministic + cleaner API)
+
+---
+
+## Common Misconceptions
+
+### "I Already Use waitForSelector"
+
+```typescript
+// This is still a hard wait in disguise
+await page.click('button');
+await page.waitForSelector('.success', { timeout: 5000 });
+```
+
+**Problem:** Waiting for DOM, not for the API that caused DOM change.
+
+**Better:**
+```typescript
+await page.waitForResponse(matcher);  // Wait for root cause
+await page.waitForSelector('.success');  // Then validate UI
+```
+
+### "My Tests Are Fast, Why Add Complexity?"
+
+**Short-term:** Tests are fast locally
+
+**Long-term problems:**
+- Different environments (CI slower)
+- Under load (API slower)
+- Network variability (random)
+- Scaling test suite (100 → 1000 tests)
+
+**Network-first prevents these issues before they appear.**
+
+### "Too Much Boilerplate"
+
+**Problem:** `waitForResponse` is verbose, repeated in every test.
+
+**Solution:** Use Playwright Utils `interceptNetworkCall` - built-in fixture that reduces boilerplate.
+
+**Vanilla Playwright (Repetitive):**
+```typescript
+test('test 1', async ({ page }) => {
+  const promise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/submit') && resp.ok()
+  );
+  await page.click('button');
+  await promise;
+});
+
+test('test 2', async ({ page }) => {
+  const promise = page.waitForResponse(
+    resp => resp.url().includes('/api/load') && resp.ok()
+  );
+  await page.click('button');
+  await promise;
+});
+// Repeated pattern in every test
+```
+
+**With Playwright Utils (Cleaner):**
+```typescript
+import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
+
+test('test 1', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const submitCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/submit' });
+  await page.click('button');
+  const { status, responseJson } = await submitCall;
+  expect(status).toBe(200);
+});
+
+test('test 2', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
+  const loadCall = interceptNetworkCall({ url: '**/api/load' });
+  await page.click('button');
+  const { responseJson } = await loadCall;
+  // Automatic JSON parsing, cleaner API
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Less boilerplate (fixture handles complexity)
+- Automatic JSON parsing
+- Glob pattern matching (`**/api/**`)
+- Consistent API across all tests
+
