+# Harbor Pilot — Universal Directive for Human-Facing Technical Guides
+
+**Author**: System/Shared  
+**Date**: 2025-08-21 (UTC)  
+**Status**: 🚢 ACTIVE — General ruleset extending *Base Context — Human Competence First*
+
+> **Alignment with Base Context**
+> - **Purpose fit**: Prioritizes human competence and collaboration while delivering reproducible artifacts.  
+> - **Output Contract**: This directive **adds universal constraints** for any technical topic while **inheriting** the Base Context contract sections.  
+> - **Toggles honored**: Uses the same toggle semantics; defaults above can be overridden by the caller.
+
+---
+
+## Objective
+Produce a **developer-grade, reproducible guide** for any technical topic that onboards a competent practitioner **without meta narration** and **with evidence-backed steps**.
+
+## Scope & Constraints
+- **One Markdown document** as the deliverable.
+- Use **absolute dates** in **UTC** (e.g., `2025-08-21T14:22Z`) — avoid “today/yesterday”.
+- Include at least **one diagram** (Mermaid preferred). Choose the most fitting type:
+  - `sequenceDiagram` (protocols/flows), `flowchart`, `stateDiagram`, `gantt` (timelines), or `classDiagram` (schemas).
+- Provide runnable examples where applicable:
+  - **APIs**: `curl` + one client library (e.g., `httpx` for Python).
+  - **CLIs**: literal command blocks and expected output snippets.
+  - **Code**: minimal, self-contained samples (language appropriate).
+- Cite **evidence** for *Works/Doesn’t* items (timestamps, filenames, line numbers, IDs/status codes, or logs).
+- If something is unknown, output `TODO:<missing>` — **never invent**.
+
+## Required Sections (extends Base Output Contract)
+Follow this exact order **after** the Base Contract’s **Objective → Result → Use/Run** headers:
+
+1. **Context & Scope**
+   - Problem statement, audience, in/out-of-scope bullets.
+2. **Artifacts & Links**
+   - Repos/PRs, design docs, datasets/HARs/pcaps, scripts/tools, dashboards.
+3. **Environment & Preconditions**
+   - OS/runtime, versions/build IDs, services/endpoints/URLs, credentials/auth mode (describe acquisition, do not expose secrets).
+4. **Architecture / Process Overview**
+   - Short prose + **one diagram** selected from the list above.
+5. **Interfaces & Contracts (choose one)**
+   - **API-based**: Endpoint table (*Step, Method, Path/URL, Auth, Key Headers/Params, Sample Req/Resp ref*).
+   - **Data/Files**: I/O contract table (*Source, Format, Schema/Columns, Size, Validation rules*).
+   - **Systems/Hardware**: Interfaces table (*Port/Bus, Protocol, Voltage/Timing, Constraints*).
+6. **Repro: End-to-End Procedure**
+   - Minimal copy-paste steps with code/commands and **expected outputs**.
+7. **What Works (with Evidence)**
+   - Each item: **Time (UTC)** • **Artifact/Req IDs** • **Status/Result** • **Where to verify**.
+8. **What Doesn’t (Evidence & Hypotheses)**
+   - Each failure: locus (file/endpoint/module), evidence snippet; short hypothesis and **next probe**.
+9. **Risks, Limits, Assumptions**
+   - SLOs/limits, rate/size caps, security boundaries (CORS/CSRF/ACLs), retries/backoff/idempotency patterns.
+10. **Next Steps (Owner • Exit Criteria • Target Date)**
+    - Actionable, assigned, and time-bound.
+11. **References**
+    - Canonical docs, specs, tickets, prior analyses.
+
+> **Competence Hooks (per Base Context; keep lightweight):**
+> - *Why this works* (≤3 bullets) — core invariants or guarantees.  
+> - *Common pitfalls* (≤3 bullets) — the traps we saw in evidence.  
+> - *Next skill unlock* (1 line) — the next capability to implement/learn.  
+> - *Teach-back* (1 line) — prompt the reader to restate the flow/architecture.
+
+> **Collaboration Hooks (per Base Context):**
+> - Name reviewers for **Interfaces & Contracts** and the **diagram**.  
+> - Short **sign-off checklist** before merging/publishing the guide.
+
+## Do / Don’t (Base-aligned)
+- **Do** quantify progress only against a defined scope with acceptance criteria.
+- **Do** include minimal sample payloads/headers or I/O schemas; redact sensitive values.
+- **Do** keep commentary lean; if timeboxed, move depth to **Deferred for depth**.
+- **Don’t** use marketing language or meta narration (“Perfect!”, “tool called”, “new chat”).  
+- **Don’t** include IDE-specific chatter or internal rules unrelated to the task.
+
+## Validation Checklist (self-check before returning)
+- [ ] All Required Sections present and ordered.  
+- [ ] Diagram compiles (basic Mermaid syntax) and fits the problem.  
+- [ ] If API-based, **Auth** and **Key Headers/Params** are listed for each endpoint.  
+- [ ] Repro section includes commands/code **and expected outputs**.  
+- [ ] Every Works/Doesn’t item has **UTC timestamp**, **status/result**, and **verifiable evidence**.  
+- [ ] Next Steps include **Owner**, **Exit Criteria**, **Target Date**.  
+- [ ] Unknowns are `TODO:<missing>` — no fabrication.  
+- [ ] Base **Output Contract** sections satisfied (Objective/Result/Use/Run/Competence/Collaboration/Assumptions/References).

+# Playwright Test Investigation — Harbor Pilot Directive
+
+**Author**: Matthew Raymer  
+**Date**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+**Status**: 🎯 **ACTIVE** - Playwright test debugging guidelines
+
+## Objective
+Provide systematic approach for investigating Playwright test failures with focus on UI element conflicts, timing issues, and selector ambiguity.
+
+## Context & Scope
+- **Audience**: Developers debugging Playwright test failures
+- **In scope**: Test failure analysis, selector conflicts, UI state investigation, timing issues
+- **Out of scope**: Test writing best practices, CI/CD configuration
+
+## Artifacts & Links
+- Test results: `test-results/` directory
+- Error context: `error-context.md` files with page snapshots
+- Trace files: `trace.zip` files for failed tests
+- HTML reports: Interactive test reports with screenshots
+
+## Environment & Preconditions
+- OS/Runtime: Linux/Windows/macOS with Node.js
+- Versions: Playwright test framework, browser drivers
+- Services: Local test server (localhost:8080), test data setup
+- Auth mode: None required for test investigation
+
+## Architecture / Process Overview
+Playwright test investigation follows a systematic diagnostic workflow that leverages built-in debugging tools and error context analysis.

+    O --> P[Analyze Action Sequence]
+    P --> Q[Identify Failure Point]
+```
+
+## Interfaces & Contracts
+
+### Test Results Structure
+| Component | Format | Content | Validation |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Error Context | Markdown | Page snapshot in YAML | Verify DOM state matches test expectations |
+| Trace Files | ZIP archive | Detailed execution trace | Use `npx playwright show-trace` |
+| HTML Reports | Interactive HTML | Screenshots, traces, logs | Check browser for full report |
+| JSON Results | JSON | Machine-readable results | Parse for automated analysis |
+
+### Investigation Commands
+| Step | Command | Expected Output | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Locate failed tests | `find test-results -name "*test-name*"` | Test result directories | Use exact test name patterns |
+| Check error context | `cat test-results/*/error-context.md` | Page snapshots | Look for UI state conflicts |
+| View traces | `npx playwright show-trace trace.zip` | Interactive trace viewer | Analyze exact failure sequence |
+
+## Repro: End-to-End Investigation Procedure
+
+### 1. Locate Failed Test Results
+```bash
+# Find all results for a specific test
+find test-results -name "*test-name*" -type d
+
+# Check for error context files
+find test-results -name "error-context.md" | head -5
+```
+
+### 2. Analyze Error Context
+```bash
+# Read error context for specific test
+cat test-results/test-name-test-description-browser/error-context.md
+
+# Look for UI conflicts in page snapshot
+grep -A 10 -B 5 "button.*Yes\|button.*No" test-results/*/error-context.md
+```
+
+### 3. Check Trace Files
+```bash
+# List available trace files
+find test-results -name "*.zip" | grep trace
+
+# View trace in browser
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/test-name/trace.zip
+```
+
+### 4. Investigate Selector Issues
+```typescript
+// Check for multiple elements with same text
+await page.locator('button:has-text("Yes")').count(); // Should be 1
+
+// Use more specific selectors
+await page.locator('div[role="alert"]:has-text("Register") button:has-text("Yes")').click();
+```
+
+## What Works (Evidence)
+- ✅ **Error context files** provide page snapshots showing exact DOM state at failure  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `test-results/60-new-activity-New-offers-for-another-user-chromium/error-context.md` shows both alerts visible  
+  - **Verify at**: Error context files in test results directory
+
+- ✅ **Trace files** capture detailed execution sequence for failed tests  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `trace.zip` files available for all failed tests  
+  - **Verify at**: Use `npx playwright show-trace <filename>`
+
+- ✅ **Page snapshots** reveal UI conflicts like multiple alerts with duplicate button text  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: YAML snapshots show registration + export alerts simultaneously  
+  - **Verify at**: Error context markdown files
+
+## What Doesn't (Evidence & Hypotheses)
+- ❌ **Generic selectors** fail with multiple similar elements at `test-playwright/testUtils.ts:161`  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: `button:has-text("Yes")` matches both "Yes" and "Yes, Export Data"  
+  - **Hypothesis**: Selector ambiguity due to multiple alerts with conflicting button text  
+  - **Next probe**: Use more specific selectors or dismiss alerts sequentially
+
+- ❌ **Timing-dependent tests** fail due to alert stacking at `src/views/ContactsView.vue:860,1283`  
+  - **Time**: 2025-08-21T14:22Z  
+  - **Evidence**: Both alerts use identical 1000ms delays, ensuring simultaneous display  
+  - **Hypothesis**: Race condition between alert displays creates UI conflicts  
+  - **Next probe**: Implement alert queuing or prevent overlapping alerts
+
+## Risks, Limits, Assumptions
+- **Trace file size**: Large trace files may impact storage and analysis time
+- **Browser compatibility**: Trace viewer requires specific browser support
+- **Test isolation**: Shared state between tests may affect investigation results
+- **Timing sensitivity**: Tests may pass/fail based on system performance
+
+## Next Steps
+| Owner | Task | Exit Criteria | Target Date (UTC) |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| Development Team | Fix test selectors for multiple alerts | All tests pass consistently | 2025-08-22 |
+| Development Team | Implement alert queuing system | No overlapping alerts with conflicting buttons | 2025-08-25 |
+| Development Team | Add test IDs to alert buttons | Unique selectors for all UI elements | 2025-08-28 |

+|---|---|---|---|
+| Error Context | Markdown | Page snapshot in YAML | Verify DOM state matches test expectations |
+| Trace Files | ZIP archive | Detailed execution trace | Use `npx playwright show-trace` |
+| HTML Reports | Interactive HTML | Screenshots, traces, logs | Check browser for full report |
+| JSON Results | JSON | Machine-readable results | Parse for automated analysis |
+
+### Investigation Commands
+| Step | Command | Expected Output | Notes |

+| Check error context | `cat test-results/*/error-context.md` | Page snapshots | Look for UI state conflicts |
+| View traces | `npx playwright show-trace trace.zip` | Interactive trace viewer | Analyze exact failure sequence |
+
+## Repro: End-to-End Investigation Procedure
+
+### 1. Locate Failed Test Results
+```bash
+# Find all results for a specific test
+find test-results -name "*test-name*" -type d
+
+# Check for error context files
+find test-results -name "error-context.md" | head -5
+```
+
+### 2. Analyze Error Context
+```bash
+# Read error context for specific test
+cat test-results/test-name-test-description-browser/error-context.md
+
+# Look for UI conflicts in page snapshot
+grep -A 10 -B 5 "button.*Yes\|button.*No" test-results/*/error-context.md
+```
+
+### 3. Check Trace Files
+```bash
+# List available trace files
+find test-results -name "*.zip" | grep trace
+
+# View trace in browser
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/test-name/trace.zip
+```
+
+### 4. Investigate Selector Issues
+```typescript
+// Check for multiple elements with same text
+await page.locator('button:has-text("Yes")').count(); // Should be 1
+
+// Use more specific selectors
+await page.locator('div[role="alert"]:has-text("Register") button:has-text("Yes")').click();
+```
