Purpose

Canonical specification for end-to-end-system-testing requirements synced from OpenSpec change deltas.

Requirements

Requirement: End-to-end coverage spans UI, API, and DB effects

The system SHALL provide end-to-end tests that validate full workflows across UI, API, and persisted database outcomes.

Scenario: Core user flow E2E

• WHEN a core browsing flow is executed in E2E tests
• THEN UI behavior, API responses, and DB side effects match expected outcomes

Requirement: Edge-case workflows are covered

The system SHALL include edge-case E2E tests for critical failure and boundary conditions.

Scenario: Failure-state E2E

• WHEN an edge case is triggered (empty data, unavailable upstream, invalid permalink, etc.)
• THEN system response remains stable and user-safe
• AND no unhandled runtime errors occur
