 ### Failures: everything you need to triage
 
+- **Bug report** button on every failed test: a ready-to-paste ticket with priority, owner, story, environment, test data, steps to reproduce (taken from the test's own steps, the failing one marked), expected vs actual, the error, API calls and attachment names. Pick Markdown, Jira or plain text, edit if you like, copy or download.
 - **By owner**: who to ping, with failed and flaky counts. Click an owner to filter.
 - **Download CSV / JSON**: all failed and flaky tests with title, spec, project, priority, owner, ticket, attempts, duration, first error line and new/known status. Ready for Jira or a sheet.
 - **Copy summary**: a Slack or Teams message with the top failures, owners and ticket keys.

 ### Test detail: the error, the steps, the proof
 
+- **What went wrong, in plain words.** Above every error the report says what happened and what to check first: "Element not found: `#checkout` was not on the page within 5s", "Element covered by another element: a `<div class=overlay>` was on top", "Site unreachable", "Test timed out", "Assertion failed: expected "90", got "100"". Playwright's own message stays right below it, untouched. The same label shows in Needs attention and groups the Failure clusters.
 - **Expected vs received** side by side with the difference highlighted.
 - Error **location** (opens in VS Code), Playwright's **code snippet**, full message and stack.
 - **Steps** with a bar per step showing its share of the test time. Given/When/Then titles are styled as Gherkin.
