+
+2. Read docs/ENDPOINTS.md for the known API surface.

+3. Write E2E specs (under the project's spec dir, e.g. `e2e/`) from the phase's
+   acceptance criteria. Test observable user-visible behavior only. No internals.
+
+4. Run the stack (Playwright shown; use your runner's equivalents):

+     `E2E_STACK_EXTERNAL=1`)
+   - run the suite (e.g. `npx playwright test`)
