+# Playwright Configuration Guardrails
+
+## Principle
+
+Load environment configs via a central map (`envConfigMap`), standardize timeouts (action 15s, navigation 30s, expect 10s, test 60s), emit HTML + JUnit reporters, and store artifacts under `test-results/` for CI upload. Keep `.env.example`, `.nvmrc`, and browser dependencies versioned so local and CI runs stay aligned.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Environment-specific configuration prevents hardcoded URLs, timeouts, and credentials from leaking into tests. A central config map with fail-fast validation catches missing environments early. Standardized timeouts reduce flakiness while remaining long enough for real-world network conditions. Consistent artifact storage (`test-results/`, `playwright-report/`) enables CI pipelines to upload failure evidence automatically. Versioned dependencies (`.nvmrc`, `package.json` browser versions) eliminate "works on my machine" issues between local and CI environments.
+
+## Pattern Examples
+
+### Example 1: Environment-Based Configuration
+
+**Context**: When testing against multiple environments (local, staging, production), use a central config map that loads environment-specific settings and fails fast if `TEST_ENV` is invalid.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Central config loader
+import { config as dotenvConfig } from 'dotenv';
+import path from 'path';
+
+// Load .env from project root
+dotenvConfig({
+  path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../.env'),
+});
+
+// Central environment config map
+const envConfigMap = {
+  local: require('./playwright/config/local.config').default,
+  staging: require('./playwright/config/staging.config').default,
+  production: require('./playwright/config/production.config').default,
+};
+
+const environment = process.env.TEST_ENV || 'local';
+
+// Fail fast if environment not supported
+if (!Object.keys(envConfigMap).includes(environment)) {
+  console.error(`❌ No configuration found for environment: ${environment}`);
+  console.error(`   Available environments: ${Object.keys(envConfigMap).join(', ')}`);
+  process.exit(1);
+}
+
+console.log(`✅ Running tests against: ${environment.toUpperCase()}`);
+
+export default envConfigMap[environment as keyof typeof envConfigMap];
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/base.config.ts - Shared base configuration
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import path from 'path';
+
+export const baseConfig = defineConfig({
+  testDir: path.resolve(__dirname, '../tests'),
+  outputDir: path.resolve(__dirname, '../../test-results'),
+  fullyParallel: true,
+  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
+  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
+  workers: process.env.CI ? 1 : undefined,
+  reporter: [
+    ['html', { outputFolder: 'playwright-report', open: 'never' }],
+    ['junit', { outputFile: 'test-results/results.xml' }],
+    ['list'],
+  ],
+  use: {
+    actionTimeout: 15000,
+    navigationTimeout: 30000,
+    trace: 'retain-on-failure-and-retries',
+    screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
+    video: 'retain-on-failure',
+  },
+  globalSetup: path.resolve(__dirname, '../support/global-setup.ts'),
+  timeout: 60000,
+  expect: { timeout: 10000 },
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/local.config.ts - Local environment
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import { baseConfig } from './base.config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  ...baseConfig,
+  use: {
+    ...baseConfig.use,
+    baseURL: 'http://localhost:3000',
+    video: 'off', // No video locally for speed
+  },
+  webServer: {
+    command: 'npm run dev',
+    url: 'http://localhost:3000',
+    wait: {
+      stdout: /ready|listening|localhost:/i,
+    },
+    reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+    timeout: 120000,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/staging.config.ts - Staging environment
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import { baseConfig } from './base.config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  ...baseConfig,
+  use: {
+    ...baseConfig.use,
+    baseURL: 'https://staging.example.com',
+    ignoreHTTPSErrors: true, // Allow self-signed certs in staging
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/production.config.ts - Production environment
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import { baseConfig } from './base.config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  ...baseConfig,
+  retries: 3, // More retries in production
+  use: {
+    ...baseConfig.use,
+    baseURL: 'https://example.com',
+    video: 'on', // Always record production failures
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```bash
+# .env.example - Template for developers
+TEST_ENV=local
+API_KEY=your_api_key_here
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/test_db
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Central `envConfigMap` prevents environment misconfiguration
+- Fail-fast validation with clear error message (available envs listed)
+- Base config defines shared settings, environment configs override
+- `.env.example` provides template for required secrets
+- `TEST_ENV=local` as default for local development
+- Production config increases retries and enables video recording
+
+### Example 2: Timeout Standards
+
+**Context**: When tests fail due to inconsistent timeout settings, standardize timeouts across all tests: action 15s, navigation 30s, expect 10s, test 60s. Expose overrides through fixtures rather than inline literals.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/base.config.ts - Standardized timeouts
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  // Global test timeout: 60 seconds
+  timeout: 60000,
+
+  use: {
+    // Action timeout: 15 seconds (click, fill, etc.)
+    actionTimeout: 15000,
+
+    // Navigation timeout: 30 seconds (page.goto, page.reload)
+    navigationTimeout: 30000,
+  },
+
+  // Expect timeout: 10 seconds (all assertions)
+  expect: {
+    timeout: 10000,
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/fixtures/timeout-fixture.ts - Timeout override fixture
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+
+type TimeoutOptions = {
+  extendedTimeout: (timeoutMs: number) => Promise<void>;
+};
+
+export const test = base.extend<TimeoutOptions>({
+  extendedTimeout: async ({}, use, testInfo) => {
+    const originalTimeout = testInfo.timeout;
+
+    await use(async (timeoutMs: number) => {
+      testInfo.setTimeout(timeoutMs);
+    });
+
+    // Restore original timeout after test
+    testInfo.setTimeout(originalTimeout);
+  },
+});
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Usage in tests - Standard timeouts (implicit)
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('user can log in', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/login'); // Uses 30s navigation timeout
+  await page.fill('[data-testid="email"]', 'test@example.com'); // Uses 15s action timeout
+  await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]'); // Uses 15s action timeout
+
+  await expect(page.getByText('Welcome')).toBeVisible(); // Uses 10s expect timeout
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Usage in tests - Per-test timeout override
+import { test, expect } from '../support/fixtures/timeout-fixture';
+
+test('slow data processing operation', async ({ page, extendedTimeout }) => {
+  // Override default 60s timeout for this slow test
+  await extendedTimeout(180000); // 3 minutes
+
+  await page.goto('/data-processing');
+  await page.click('[data-testid="process-large-file"]');
+
+  // Wait for long-running operation
+  await expect(page.getByText('Processing complete')).toBeVisible({
+    timeout: 120000, // 2 minutes for assertion
+  });
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Per-assertion timeout override (inline)
+test('API returns quickly', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/dashboard');
+
+  // Override expect timeout for fast API (reduce flakiness detection)
+  await expect(page.getByTestId('user-name')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 5000 }); // 5s instead of 10s
+
+  // Override expect timeout for slow external API
+  await expect(page.getByTestId('weather-widget')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 20000 }); // 20s instead of 10s
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- **Standardized timeouts**: action 15s, navigation 30s, expect 10s, test 60s (global defaults)
+- Fixture-based override (`extendedTimeout`) for slow tests (preferred over inline)
+- Per-assertion timeout override via `{ timeout: X }` option (use sparingly)
+- Avoid hard waits (`page.waitForTimeout(3000)`) - use event-based waits instead
+- CI environments may need longer timeouts (handle in environment-specific config)
+
+### Example 3: Artifact Output Configuration
+
+**Context**: When debugging failures in CI, configure artifacts (screenshots, videos, traces, HTML reports) to be captured on failure and stored in consistent locations for upload.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Artifact configuration
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import path from 'path';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  // Output directory for test artifacts
+  outputDir: path.resolve(__dirname, './test-results'),
+
+  use: {
+    // Screenshot on failure only (saves space)
+    screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
+
+    // Video recording on failure + retry
+    video: 'retain-on-failure',
+
+    // Keep failed attempts and retries for flake analysis
+    trace: 'retain-on-failure-and-retries',
+  },
+
+  reporter: [
+    // HTML report (visual, interactive)
+    [
+      'html',
+      {
+        outputFolder: 'playwright-report',
+        open: 'never', // Don't auto-open in CI
+      },
+    ],
+
+    // JUnit XML (CI integration)
+    [
+      'junit',
+      {
+        outputFile: 'test-results/results.xml',
+      },
+    ],
+
+    // List reporter (console output)
+    ['list'],
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/fixtures/artifact-fixture.ts - Custom artifact capture
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+import fs from 'fs';
+import path from 'path';
+
+export const test = base.extend({
+  // Auto-capture console logs on failure
+  page: async ({ page }, use, testInfo) => {
+    const logs: string[] = [];
+
+    page.on('console', (msg) => {
+      logs.push(`[${msg.type()}] ${msg.text()}`);
+    });
+
+    await use(page);
+
+    // Save logs on failure
+    if (testInfo.status !== testInfo.expectedStatus) {
+      const logsPath = path.join(testInfo.outputDir, 'console-logs.txt');
+      fs.writeFileSync(logsPath, logs.join('\n'));
+      testInfo.attachments.push({
+        name: 'console-logs',
+        contentType: 'text/plain',
+        path: logsPath,
+      });
+    }
+  },
+});
+```
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/e2e.yml - CI artifact upload
+name: E2E Tests
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version-file: '.nvmrc'
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm ci
+
+      - name: Install Playwright browsers
+        run: npx playwright install --with-deps
+
+      - name: Run tests
+        run: npm run test
+        env:
+          TEST_ENV: staging
+
+      # Upload test artifacts on failure
+      - name: Upload test results
+        if: failure()
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: test-results
+          path: test-results/
+          retention-days: 30
+
+      - name: Upload Playwright report
+        if: failure()
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: playwright-report
+          path: playwright-report/
+          retention-days: 30
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Example: Custom screenshot on specific condition
+test('capture screenshot on specific error', async ({ page }) => {
+  await page.goto('/checkout');
+
+  try {
+    await page.click('[data-testid="submit-payment"]');
+    await expect(page.getByText('Order Confirmed')).toBeVisible();
+  } catch (error) {
+    // Capture custom screenshot with timestamp
+    await page.screenshot({
+      path: `test-results/payment-error-${Date.now()}.png`,
+      fullPage: true,
+    });
+    throw error;
+  }
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `screenshot: 'only-on-failure'` saves space (not every test)
+- `video: 'retain-on-failure'` captures full flow on failures
+- `trace: 'retain-on-failure-and-retries'` keeps enough history to compare failing retries against passing runs
+- `webServer.wait` is better than startup sleeps when local servers print readiness to stdout/stderr
+- HTML report at `playwright-report/` (visual debugging)
+- JUnit XML at `test-results/results.xml` (CI integration)
+- CI uploads artifacts on failure with 30-day retention
+- Custom fixture can capture console logs, network logs, etc.
+
+### Example 4: Parallelization Configuration
+
+**Context**: When tests run slowly in CI, configure parallelization with worker count, sharding, and fully parallel execution to maximize speed while maintaining stability.
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Parallelization settings
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import os from 'os';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  // Run tests in parallel within single file
+  fullyParallel: true,
+
+  // Worker configuration
+  workers: process.env.CI
+    ? 1 // Serial in CI for stability (or 2 for faster CI)
+    : os.cpus().length - 1, // Parallel locally (leave 1 CPU for OS)
+
+  // Prevent accidentally committed .only() from blocking CI
+  forbidOnly: !!process.env.CI,
+
+  // Retry failed tests in CI
+  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
+
+  // Shard configuration (split tests across multiple machines)
+  shard:
+    process.env.SHARD_INDEX && process.env.SHARD_TOTAL
+      ? {
+          current: parseInt(process.env.SHARD_INDEX, 10),
+          total: parseInt(process.env.SHARD_TOTAL, 10),
+        }
+      : undefined,
+});
+```
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/e2e-parallel.yml - Sharded CI execution
+name: E2E Tests (Parallel)
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      fail-fast: false
+      matrix:
+        shard: [1, 2, 3, 4] # Split tests across 4 machines
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+        with:
+          node-version-file: '.nvmrc'
+
+      - name: Install dependencies
+        run: npm ci
+
+      - name: Install Playwright browsers
+        run: npx playwright install --with-deps
+
+      - name: Run tests (shard ${{ matrix.shard }})
+        run: npm run test
+        env:
+          SHARD_INDEX: ${{ matrix.shard }}
+          SHARD_TOTAL: 4
+          TEST_ENV: staging
+
+      - name: Upload test results
+        if: failure()
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: test-results-shard-${{ matrix.shard }}
+          path: test-results/
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/config/serial.config.ts - Serial execution for flaky tests
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import { baseConfig } from './base.config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  ...baseConfig,
+
+  // Disable parallel execution
+  fullyParallel: false,
+  workers: 1,
+
+  // Used for: authentication flows, database-dependent tests, feature flag tests
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Usage: Force serial execution for specific tests
+import { test } from '@playwright/test';
+
+// Serial execution for auth tests (shared session state)
+test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' });
+
+test.describe('Authentication Flow', () => {
+  test('user can log in', async ({ page }) => {
+    // First test in serial block
+  });
+
+  test('user can access dashboard', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Depends on previous test (serial)
+  });
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Usage: Parallel execution for independent tests (default)
+import { test } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test.describe('Product Catalog', () => {
+  test('can view product 1', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Runs in parallel with other tests
+  });
+
+  test('can view product 2', async ({ page }) => {
+    // Runs in parallel with other tests
+  });
+});
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- `fullyParallel: true` enables parallel execution within single test file
+- Workers: 1 in CI (stability), N-1 CPUs locally (speed)
+- Sharding splits tests across multiple CI machines (4x faster with 4 shards)
+- `test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })` for dependent tests
+- `forbidOnly: true` in CI prevents `.only()` from blocking pipeline
+- Matrix strategy in CI runs shards concurrently
+
+### Example 5: Project Configuration
+
+**Context**: When testing across multiple browsers, devices, or configurations, use Playwright projects to run the same tests against different environments (chromium, firefox, webkit, mobile).
+
+**Implementation**:
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Multiple browser projects
+import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  projects: [
+    // Desktop browsers
+    {
+      name: 'chromium',
+      use: { ...devices['Desktop Chrome'] },
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'firefox',
+      use: { ...devices['Desktop Firefox'] },
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'webkit',
+      use: { ...devices['Desktop Safari'] },
+    },
+
+    // Mobile browsers
+    {
+      name: 'mobile-chrome',
+      use: { ...devices['Pixel 5'] },
+    },
+    {
+      name: 'mobile-safari',
+      use: { ...devices['iPhone 13'] },
+    },
+
+    // Tablet
+    {
+      name: 'tablet',
+      use: { ...devices['iPad Pro'] },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright.config.ts - Authenticated vs. unauthenticated projects
+import { defineConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import path from 'path';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  projects: [
+    // Setup project (runs first, creates auth state)
+    {
+      name: 'setup',
+      testMatch: /global-setup\.ts/,
+    },
+
+    // Authenticated tests (reuse auth state)
+    {
+      name: 'authenticated',
+      dependencies: ['setup'],
+      use: {
+        storageState: path.resolve(__dirname, './playwright/.auth/user.json'),
+      },
+      testMatch: /.*authenticated\.spec\.ts/,
+    },
+
+    // Unauthenticated tests (public pages)
+    {
+      name: 'unauthenticated',
+      testMatch: /.*unauthenticated\.spec\.ts/,
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+```typescript
+// playwright/support/global-setup.ts - Setup project for auth
+import { chromium, FullConfig } from '@playwright/test';
+import path from 'path';
+
+async function globalSetup(config: FullConfig) {
+  const browser = await chromium.launch();
+  const page = await browser.newPage();
+
+  // Perform authentication
+  await page.goto('http://localhost:3000/login');
+  await page.fill('[data-testid="email"]', 'test@example.com');
+  await page.fill('[data-testid="password"]', 'password123');
+  await page.click('[data-testid="login-button"]');
+
+  // Wait for authentication to complete
+  await page.waitForURL('**/dashboard');
+
+  // Save authentication state
+  await page.context().storageState({
+    path: path.resolve(__dirname, '../.auth/user.json'),
+  });
+
+  await browser.close();
+}
+
+export default globalSetup;
+```
+
+```bash
+# Run specific project
+npx playwright test --project=chromium
+npx playwright test --project=mobile-chrome
+npx playwright test --project=authenticated
+
+# Run multiple projects
+npx playwright test --project=chromium --project=firefox
+
+# Run all projects (default)
+npx playwright test
+```
+
+```typescript
+// Usage: Project-specific test
+import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('mobile navigation works', async ({ page, isMobile }) => {
+  await page.goto('/');
+
+  if (isMobile) {
+    // Open mobile menu
+    await page.click('[data-testid="hamburger-menu"]');
+  }
+
+  await page.click('[data-testid="products-link"]');
+  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/.*products/);
+});
+```
+
+```yaml
+# .github/workflows/e2e-cross-browser.yml - CI cross-browser testing
+name: E2E Tests (Cross-Browser)
+on: [push, pull_request]
+
+jobs:
+  test:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    strategy:
+      fail-fast: false
+      matrix:
+        project: [chromium, firefox, webkit, mobile-chrome]
+    steps:
+      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
+      - uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+      - run: npm ci
+      - run: npx playwright install --with-deps
+
+      - name: Run tests (${{ matrix.project }})
+        run: npx playwright test --project=${{ matrix.project }}
+```
+
+**Key Points**:
+
+- Projects enable testing across browsers, devices, and configurations
+- `devices` from `@playwright/test` provide preset configurations (Pixel 5, iPhone 13, etc.)
+- `dependencies` ensures setup project runs first (auth, data seeding)
+- `storageState` shares authentication across tests (0 seconds auth per test)
+- `testMatch` filters which tests run in which project
+- CI matrix strategy runs projects in parallel (4x faster with 4 projects)
+- `isMobile` context property for conditional logic in tests
+
+## Integration Points
+
+- **Used in workflows**: `*framework` (config setup), `*ci` (parallelization, artifact upload)
+- **Related fragments**:
+  - `fixture-architecture.md` - Fixture-based timeout overrides
+  - `ci-burn-in.md` - CI pipeline artifact upload
+  - `test-quality.md` - Timeout standards (no hard waits)
+  - `data-factories.md` - Per-test isolation (no shared global state)
+
+## Configuration Checklist
+
+**Before deploying tests, verify**:
+
+- [ ] Environment config map with fail-fast validation
+- [ ] Standardized timeouts (action 15s, navigation 30s, expect 10s, test 60s)
+- [ ] Artifact storage at `test-results/` and `playwright-report/`
+- [ ] HTML + JUnit reporters configured
