-# Playwright Utils Overview
-
-## Principle
-
-Use production-ready, fixture-based utilities from `@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` for common Playwright testing patterns. Build test helpers as pure functions first, then wrap in framework-specific fixtures for composability and reuse. **Works equally well for pure API testing (no browser) and UI testing.**
-
-## Rationale
-
-Writing Playwright utilities from scratch for every project leads to:
-
-- Duplicated code across test suites
-- Inconsistent patterns and quality
-- Maintenance burden when Playwright APIs change
-- Missing advanced features (schema validation, HAR recording, auth persistence)
-
-`@seontechnologies/playwright-utils` provides:
-
-- **Production-tested utilities**: Used at SEON Technologies in production
-- **Functional-first design**: Core logic as pure functions, fixtures for convenience
-- **Composable fixtures**: Use `mergeTests` to combine utilities
-- **TypeScript support**: Full type safety with generic types
-- **Comprehensive coverage**: API requests, auth, network, logging, file handling, burn-in
-- **Backend-first mentality**: Most utilities work without a browser - pure API/service testing is a first-class use case
-
-## Installation
-
-```bash
-npm install -D @seontechnologies/playwright-utils
-```
-
-**Peer Dependencies:**
-
-- `@playwright/test` >= 1.54.1 (required)
-- `ajv` >= 8.0.0 (optional - for JSON Schema validation)
-- `zod` >= 3.0.0 (optional - for Zod schema validation)
-
-## Available Utilities
-
-### Core Testing Utilities
-
-| Utility                    | Purpose                                              | Test Context       |
-| -------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ |
-| **api-request**            | Typed HTTP client with schema validation and retry   | **API/Backend**    |
-| **recurse**                | Polling for async operations, background jobs        | **API/Backend**    |
-| **auth-session**           | Token persistence, multi-user, service-to-service    | **API/Backend/UI** |
-| **log**                    | Playwright report-integrated logging                 | **API/Backend/UI** |
-| **file-utils**             | CSV/XLSX/PDF/ZIP reading & validation                | **API/Backend/UI** |
-| **burn-in**                | Smart test selection with git diff                   | **CI/CD**          |
-| **network-recorder**       | HAR record/playback for offline testing              | UI only            |
-| **intercept-network-call** | Network spy/stub with auto JSON parsing              | UI only            |
-| **network-error-monitor**  | Automatic HTTP 4xx/5xx detection                     | UI only            |
-
-**Note**: 6 of 9 utilities work without a browser. Only 3 are UI-specific (network-recorder, intercept-network-call, network-error-monitor).
-
-## Design Patterns
-
-### Pattern 1: Functional Core, Fixture Shell
-
-**Context**: All utilities follow the same architectural pattern - pure function as core, fixture as wrapper.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// Direct import (pass Playwright context explicitly)
-import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
-
-test('direct usage', async ({ request }) => {
-  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
-    request, // Must pass request context
-    method: 'GET',
-    path: '/api/users',
-  });
-});
-
-// Fixture import (context injected automatically)
-import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
-
-test('fixture usage', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
-  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
-    // No need to pass request context
-    method: 'GET',
-    path: '/api/users',
-  });
-});
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- Pure functions testable without Playwright running
-- Fixtures inject framework dependencies automatically
-- Choose direct import (more control) or fixture (convenience)
-
-### Pattern 2: Subpath Imports for Tree-Shaking
-
-**Context**: Import only what you need to keep bundle sizes small.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// Import specific utility
-import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request';
-
-// Import specific fixture
-import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
-
-// Import everything (use sparingly)
-import { apiRequest, recurse, log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- Subpath imports enable tree-shaking
-- Keep bundle sizes minimal
-- Import from specific paths for production builds
-
-### Pattern 3: Fixture Composition with mergeTests
-
-**Context**: Combine multiple playwright-utils fixtures with your own custom fixtures.
-
-**Implementation**:
-
-```typescript
-// playwright/support/merged-fixtures.ts
-import { mergeTests } from '@playwright/test';
-import { test as apiRequestFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
-import { test as authFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
-import { test as recurseFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/recurse/fixtures';
-import { test as logFixture } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/log/fixtures';
-
-// Merge all fixtures into one test object
-export const test = mergeTests(apiRequestFixture, authFixture, recurseFixture, logFixture);
-
-export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
-```
-
-```typescript
-// In your tests
-import { test, expect } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
-
-test('all utilities available', async ({ apiRequest, authToken, recurse, log }) => {
-  await log.step('Making authenticated API request');
-
-  const { body } = await apiRequest({
-    method: 'GET',
-    path: '/api/protected',
-    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${authToken}` },
-  });
-
-  await recurse(
-    () => apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: `/status/${body.id}` }),
-    (res) => res.body.ready === true,
-  );
-});
-```
-
-**Key Points**:
-
-- `mergeTests` combines multiple fixtures without conflicts
-- Create one merged-fixtures.ts file per project
-- Import test object from your merged fixtures in all tests
-- All utilities available in single test signature
-
-## Integration with Existing Tests
-
-### Gradual Adoption Strategy
-
-**1. Start with logging** (zero breaking changes):
-
-```typescript
-import { log } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
-
-test('existing test', async ({ page }) => {
-  await log.step('Navigate to page'); // Just add logging
-  await page.goto('/dashboard');
-  // Rest of test unchanged
-});
-```
-
-**2. Add API utilities** (for API tests):
-
-```typescript
-import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request/fixtures';
-
-test('API test', async ({ apiRequest }) => {
-  const { status, body } = await apiRequest({
-    method: 'GET',
-    path: '/api/users',
-  });
-
-  expect(status).toBe(200);
-});
-```
-
-**3. Expand to network utilities** (for UI tests):
-
-```typescript
-import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/fixtures';
-
-test('UI with network control', async ({ page, interceptNetworkCall }) => {
-  const usersCall = interceptNetworkCall({
-    url: '**/api/users',
-  });
-
-  await page.goto('/dashboard');
-  const { responseJson } = await usersCall;
-
-  expect(responseJson).toHaveLength(10);
-});
-```
-
-**4. Full integration** (merged fixtures):
-
-Create merged-fixtures.ts and use across all tests.

-## Anti-Patterns
-
-**❌ Don't mix direct and fixture imports in same test:**
-
-```typescript
-import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils';
-import { test } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/auth-session/fixtures';
-
-test('bad', async ({ request, authToken }) => {
-  // Confusing - mixing direct (needs request) and fixture (has authToken)
-  await apiRequest({ request, method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
-});
-```
-
-**✅ Use consistent import style:**
-
-```typescript
-import { test } from '../support/merged-fixtures';
-
-test('good', async ({ apiRequest, authToken }) => {
-  // Clean - all from fixtures
-  await apiRequest({ method: 'GET', path: '/api/users' });
-});
-```
-
-**❌ Don't import everything when you need one utility:**
-
-```typescript
-import * as utils from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils'; // Large bundle
-```
-
-**✅ Use subpath imports:**
-
-```typescript
-import { apiRequest } from '@seontechnologies/playwright-utils/api-request'; // Small bundle
-```
