-## Quick Reference
-
-```typescript
-// Text input
-await page.getByLabel("Username").fill("john_doe");
-
-// Select dropdown
-await page.getByLabel("Region").selectOption("EU");
-await page.getByLabel("Region").selectOption({ label: "Europe" });
-
-// Checkbox and radio
-await page.getByLabel("Subscribe").check();
-await page.getByLabel("Priority shipping").click();
-
-// Date input
-await page.getByLabel("Departure").fill("2025-08-20");
-
-// Clear a field
-await page.getByLabel("Username").clear();
-
-// Submit
-await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Register" }).click();
-
-// Verify validation error
-await expect(page.getByText("Username is required")).toBeVisible();
-```
-
-## Patterns
-
-### Auto-Complete and Typeahead Fields
-
-**Use when**: Testing search fields, address lookups, mention pickers, or any input that shows suggestions as the user types.
-
-```typescript
-test("select from typeahead suggestions", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/products");
-
-  const searchBox = page.getByRole("combobox", { name: "Find product" });
-  await searchBox.pressSequentially("lapt", { delay: 100 });
-
-  const suggestionList = page.getByRole("listbox");
-  await expect(suggestionList).toBeVisible();
-
-  await suggestionList.getByRole("option", { name: "Laptop Pro" }).click();
-  await expect(searchBox).toHaveValue("Laptop Pro");
-});
-
-test("typeahead with API-driven suggestions", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/shipping");
-
-  const streetField = page.getByLabel("Street");
-  const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse("**/api/address-lookup*");
-  await streetField.pressSequentially("456 Elm", { delay: 50 });
-
-  await responsePromise;
-
-  await page.getByRole("option", { name: /456 Elm St/ }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Town")).toHaveValue("Austin");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("State")).toHaveValue("TX");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Postal code")).toHaveValue("78701");
-});
-
-test("dismiss suggestions and enter custom value", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/labels");
-
-  const labelInput = page.getByLabel("New label");
-  await labelInput.pressSequentially("my-label");
-
-  await labelInput.press("Escape");
-  await expect(page.getByRole("listbox")).not.toBeVisible();
-
-  await labelInput.press("Enter");
-  await expect(page.getByText("my-label")).toBeVisible();
-});
-```
-
-### Dynamic Forms — Conditional Fields
-
-**Use when**: Form fields appear, disappear, or change based on the value of other fields.
-
-```typescript
-test("conditional fields appear based on selection", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/loan/apply");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Applicant type").selectOption("corporate");
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Business name")).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("EIN")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Business name").fill("TechCorp Inc");
-  await page.getByLabel("EIN").fill("98-7654321");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Applicant type").selectOption("individual");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Business name")).not.toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("EIN")).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("checkbox toggles additional section", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/delivery");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Separate invoice address").check();
-
-  const invoiceSection = page.getByRole("group", { name: "Invoice address" });
-  await expect(invoiceSection).toBeVisible();
-
-  await invoiceSection.getByLabel("Address").fill("789 Pine Rd");
-  await invoiceSection.getByLabel("City").fill("Denver");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Separate invoice address").uncheck();
-  await expect(invoiceSection).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("dependent dropdown chains", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/region-selector");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Country").selectOption("CA");
-
-  const provinceDropdown = page.getByLabel("Province");
-  await expect(provinceDropdown.getByRole("option")).not.toHaveCount(0);
-
-  await provinceDropdown.selectOption("ON");
-
-  const cityDropdown = page.getByLabel("City");
-  await expect(cityDropdown.getByRole("option")).not.toHaveCount(0);
-
-  await cityDropdown.selectOption({ label: "Toronto" });
-});
-```
-
-### Multi-Step Forms and Wizards
-
-**Use when**: The form spans multiple pages or steps, with next/previous navigation and per-step validation.
-
-```typescript
-test("complete a multi-step booking wizard", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/booking");
-
-  await test.step("enter guest information", async () => {
-    await expect(
-      page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Guest Info" }),
-    ).toBeVisible();
-
-    await page.getByLabel("Full name").fill("Alice Smith");
-    await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("alice@test.com");
-    await page.getByLabel("Phone").fill("555-1234");
-
-    await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next" }).click();
-  });
-
-  await test.step("select room options", async () => {
-    await expect(
-      page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Room Selection" }),
-    ).toBeVisible();
-
-    await page.getByLabel("Room type").selectOption("suite");
-    await page.getByLabel("Check-in").fill("2025-09-01");
-    await page.getByLabel("Check-out").fill("2025-09-05");
-
-    await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next" }).click();
-  });
-
-  await test.step("confirm booking", async () => {
-    await expect(
-      page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Confirmation" }),
-    ).toBeVisible();
-
-    await expect(page.getByText("Alice Smith")).toBeVisible();
-    await expect(page.getByText("suite")).toBeVisible();
-
-    await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Confirm booking" }).click();
-  });
-
-  await expect(
-    page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Booking complete" }),
-  ).toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("wizard validates each step before proceeding", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/booking");
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Guest Info" })).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Full name is required")).toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("wizard supports going back without losing data", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/booking");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Full name").fill("Alice Smith");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("alice@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Phone").fill("555-1234");
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next" }).click();
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Previous" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Full name")).toHaveValue("Alice Smith");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Email")).toHaveValue("alice@test.com");
-});
-```
-
-### Form Submission and Response Handling
-
-**Use when**: Testing what happens after a form is submitted — success messages, redirects, error responses from the server, and loading states during submission.
-
-```typescript
-test("successful form submission shows confirmation", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/feedback");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Subject").fill("Feature request");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("user@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Details").fill("Please add dark mode");
-
-  const responsePromise = page.waitForResponse("**/api/feedback");
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Submit feedback" }).click();
-  const response = await responsePromise;
-
-  expect(response.status()).toBe(200);
-  await expect(page.getByText("Feedback received")).toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("form submission shows server-side validation errors", async ({
-  page,
-}) => {
-  await page.goto("/signup");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("existing@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Password", { exact: true }).fill("Secure1@pass");
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Sign up" }).click();
-
-  await expect(
-    page.getByText("Email address already registered"),
-  ).toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("form shows loading state during submission", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/feedback");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Subject").fill("Bug report");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("user@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Details").fill("Found an issue");
-
-  const submit = page.getByRole("button", {
-    name: /Submit feedback|Submitting/,
-  });
-  await submit.click();
-
-  await expect(submit).toHaveText(/Submitting/);
-  await expect(submit).toBeDisabled();
-
-  await expect(submit).toHaveText("Submit feedback");
-  await expect(submit).toBeEnabled();
-});
-
-test("form redirects after successful submission", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/auth/login");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("admin@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Password").fill("admin123");
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Log in" }).click();
-
-  await page.waitForURL("/home");
-  await expect(page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Welcome" })).toBeVisible();
-});
-```
-
-### Filling Basic Form Fields
-
-**Use when**: Testing any form with standard HTML inputs — text, email, password, number, textarea, select, checkbox, radio.
-
-```typescript
-test("fill and submit a signup form", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/signup");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("First name").fill("Bob");
-  await page.getByLabel("Last name").fill("Wilson");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("bob@test.com");
-  await page.getByLabel("Password", { exact: true }).fill("P@ssw0rd!");
-  await page.getByLabel("Confirm password").fill("P@ssw0rd!");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("About you").fill("Developer with 5 years experience.");
-  await page.getByLabel("Years of experience").fill("5");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Country").selectOption("UK");
-  await page.getByLabel("City").selectOption({ label: "London" });
-  await page
-    .getByLabel("Skills")
-    .selectOption(["typescript", "playwright", "nodejs"]);
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Accept terms").check();
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Accept terms")).toBeChecked();
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Annual billing").check();
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Annual billing")).toBeChecked();
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Create account" }).click();
-  await expect(page.getByRole("heading", { name: "Welcome" })).toBeVisible();
-});
-```
-
-### Date and Time Inputs
-
-**Use when**: Testing native `<input type="date">`, `<input type="time">`, `<input type="datetime-local">`, or third-party date pickers.
-
-```typescript
-test("fill native date and time inputs", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/reservation");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Reservation date").fill("2025-07-10");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Reservation date")).toHaveValue("2025-07-10");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Time slot").fill("18:00");
-  await page.getByLabel("Reminder").fill("2025-07-10T17:30");
-});
-
-test("interact with a third-party date picker", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/reservation");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Event date").click();
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next month" }).click();
-  await page.getByRole("gridcell", { name: "25" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Event date")).toHaveValue(/2025/);
-});
-```
-
-### Required Field Validation
-
-**Use when**: Testing that the form shows appropriate error messages when required fields are empty.
-
-```typescript
-test("shows validation errors for empty required fields", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/inquiry");
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Send inquiry" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByText("Name is required")).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Email is required")).toBeVisible();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Question is required")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/inquiry/);
-});
-
-test("clears validation errors when fields are filled", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/inquiry");
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Send inquiry" }).click();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Name is required")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Name").fill("Carol Brown");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email").focus();
-
-  await expect(page.getByText("Name is required")).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("native HTML5 validation with required attribute", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/basic-form");
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Submit" }).click();
-
-  const emailInput = page.getByLabel("Email");
-  const validationMessage = await emailInput.evaluate(
-    (el: HTMLInputElement) => el.validationMessage,
-  );
-  expect(validationMessage).toBeTruthy();
-});
-```
-
-### Format Validation and Custom Rules
-
-**Use when**: Testing email format, phone number format, password strength, and business-specific validation rules.
-
-```typescript
-test("validates email format", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/signup");
-
-  const emailField = page.getByLabel("Email");
-
-  const invalidEmails = [
-    "invalid",
-    "missing@",
-    "@nodomain.com",
-    "has spaces@mail.com",
-  ];
-
-  for (const email of invalidEmails) {
-    await emailField.fill(email);
-    await emailField.blur();
-    await expect(page.getByText("Enter a valid email address")).toBeVisible();
-  }
-
-  await emailField.fill("correct@domain.com");
-  await emailField.blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Enter a valid email address")).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("validates password strength rules", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/signup");
-
-  const passwordField = page.getByLabel("Password", { exact: true });
-
-  await passwordField.fill("Xy1!");
-  await passwordField.blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Minimum 8 characters")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await passwordField.fill("lowercase1!");
-  await passwordField.blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Include an uppercase letter")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await passwordField.fill("SecureP@ss1");
-  await passwordField.blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText(/Minimum|Include/)).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-
-test("validates custom business rule — minimum amount", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/transfer");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").fill("5");
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Minimum transfer is $10")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").fill("1000000");
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText("Maximum transfer is $100,000")).toBeVisible();
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").fill("500");
-  await page.getByLabel("Amount").blur();
-  await expect(page.getByText(/Minimum|Maximum/)).not.toBeVisible();
-});
-```
-
-### Form Reset Testing
-
-**Use when**: Testing "clear form" or "reset" functionality, verifying that fields return to their default values.
-
-```typescript
-test("reset button clears all fields to defaults", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/preferences");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Nickname").fill("CustomNick");
-  await page.getByLabel("Language").selectOption("es");
-  await page.getByLabel("Email alerts").uncheck();
-
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Reset" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Nickname")).toHaveValue("");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Language")).toHaveValue("en");
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Email alerts")).toBeChecked();
-});
-
-test("confirmation dialog before resetting a dirty form", async ({ page }) => {
-  await page.goto("/document");
-
-  await page.getByLabel("Document title").fill("Draft document");
-
-  page.on("dialog", (dialog) => dialog.accept());
-  await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Clear changes" }).click();
-
-  await expect(page.getByLabel("Document title")).toHaveValue("");
-});
-```

-## Decision Guide
-
-| Scenario                             | Approach                                               | Key API                                                      |
-| ------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
-| Standard text input                  | `fill()` (clears, then types)                          | `page.getByLabel('Field').fill('value')`                     |
-| Need keystroke events (autocomplete) | `pressSequentially()` with delay                       | `locator.pressSequentially('text', { delay: 100 })`          |
-| Native `<select>` dropdown           | `selectOption()` by value or label                     | `locator.selectOption('US')` or `{ label: 'United States' }` |
-| Custom dropdown (ARIA listbox)       | Click trigger, then select option role                 | `getByRole('option', { name: '...' }).click()`               |
-| Checkbox                             | `check()` / `uncheck()` (idempotent)                   | `locator.check()` — safe to call even if already checked     |
-| Radio button                         | `check()` on the target radio                          | `page.getByLabel('Option').check()`                          |
-| Date input (native)                  | `fill()` with ISO format                               | `locator.fill('2025-03-15')`                                 |
-| Date picker (third-party)            | Click to open, navigate, select day                    | `getByRole('gridcell', { name: '15' }).click()`              |
-| Validation errors                    | Submit, then assert error text                         | `expect(page.getByText('Required')).toBeVisible()`           |
-| Multi-step wizard                    | `test.step()` per step, assert heading                 | `await test.step('Step 1', async () => { ... })`             |
-| Conditional/dynamic fields           | Change trigger field, assert new field visibility      | `expect(locator).toBeVisible()` / `.not.toBeVisible()`       |
-| Form submission                      | `waitForResponse` + click submit                       | Register response listener before click                      |
-| Auto-complete                        | `pressSequentially()`, wait for listbox, select option | `getByRole('option', { name }).click()`                      |
-| Form reset                           | Click reset, assert default values                     | `expect(locator).toHaveValue('')`                            |
-
-## Anti-Patterns
-
-| Don't Do This                                           | Problem                                                    | Do This Instead                                        |
-| ------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
-| `await page.getByLabel('Field').type('value')`          | `type()` appends to existing content; does not clear first | `await page.getByLabel('Field').fill('value')`         |
-| `await page.getByLabel('Option').click()`               | `click()` toggles — if already checked, it unchecks        | `await page.getByLabel('Option').check()`              |
-| `await page.fill('#email', 'test@test.com')`            | CSS selector is fragile                                    | `await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@test.com')` |
-| `await page.selectOption('select', 'US')` without label | Targets first `<select>` on page; ambiguous                | `await page.getByLabel('Country').selectOption('US')`  |
-| Testing every invalid input in one test                 | Test becomes huge, slow, and hard to debug                 | One test per validation rule or group related rules    |
-| `expect(await input.inputValue()).toBe('value')`        | Resolves once — no retry. Race condition.                  | `await expect(input).toHaveValue('value')`             |
-| Filling fields with `page.evaluate()`                   | Bypasses event handlers (no `input`, `change` events fire) | Use `fill()` or `pressSequentially()`                  |
-| Not waiting for conditional fields before filling       | `fill()` fails on hidden/detached elements                 | `await expect(field).toBeVisible()` first              |
-| Hardcoding wait after selecting a dropdown              | `waitForTimeout(500)` is flaky and slow                    | Wait for the dependent element to appear               |
-| Skipping server-side validation tests                   | Client-side validation can be bypassed                     | Test both client-side UX and server response           |
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### `fill()` does nothing or clears but doesn't type
-
-**Cause**: The input field uses a contenteditable div (rich text editors), not a real `<input>` or `<textarea>`.
-
-```typescript
-const isContentEditable = await page
-  .getByTestId("editor")
-  .evaluate((el) => el.getAttribute("contenteditable"));
-
-if (isContentEditable) {
-  await page.getByTestId("editor").click();
-  await page.getByTestId("editor").pressSequentially("Hello world");
-}
-```
-
-### Date picker does not accept `fill()` value
-
-**Cause**: Third-party date pickers often render custom UI over a hidden input. `fill()` sets the hidden input but the UI does not update.
-
-```typescript
-await page.getByLabel("Date").click();
-await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Next month" }).click();
-await page.getByRole("gridcell", { name: "15" }).click();
-
-// Alternatively, if the library reads from the input on change:
-await page.getByLabel("Date").fill("2025-06-15");
-await page.getByLabel("Date").dispatchEvent("change");
-```
-
-### `selectOption()` throws "not a select element"
-
-**Cause**: The dropdown is a custom component (ARIA listbox), not a native `<select>`.
-
-```typescript
-await page.getByRole("combobox", { name: "Country" }).click();
-await page.getByRole("option", { name: "United States" }).click();
-```
-
-### Validation errors do not appear after `fill()` and submit
-
-**Cause**: The validation triggers on `blur` (focus leaving the field), but `fill()` does not trigger blur automatically.
-
-```typescript
-await page.getByLabel("Email").fill("invalid");
-await page.getByLabel("Email").blur();
-await expect(page.getByText("Enter a valid email")).toBeVisible();
-
-// Or move focus to the next field
-await page.getByLabel("Password").focus();
-```
