085d218bff fix(docs): button a11y enhancements (#49952)
## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

bug fix for accessibility, fixes
[docs-1265](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1365/add-aria-label-to-icon-only-buttons-button-name)

## What is the current behavior?

some controles in the docs app have no accessible name, so screen
readers announce them as an unlabelled "button"

## What is the new behavior?

- adds each control a name the way its neighbours already do
- adds menu toggle a state-dependent `aria-label` and `aria-expanded`
- adds `button-name` to `enforced_rules`

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Accessibility**
- Added descriptive labels to configuration selectors and mobile menu
controls.
- Mobile menu controls now announce whether the menu is open or closed.
- Expanded accessibility validation to check button names across
documentation pages.

- **UI Improvements**
- Updated the raw throughput table control with a clearer button
appearance and expandable chevron indicator.
  - Replaced a schema-migration tooltip with a direct in-page link.

- **Documentation**
- Removed the Info Tooltip component guidance from the contributing
documentation.

6d3a4bcc48 feat(www) Add scaffolding for WWW E2E tests and CI check (#48861)
Closes DOCS-1278

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Feature. Adds E2E test scaffolding and a CI check for the marketing
site.

## What is the current behavior?

Closes [FE-4047](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/FE-4047).

The marketing site has no E2E coverage. Docs has a suite in `e2e/docs`,
but its
runner, git helpers and axe reporting are private to that package, so a
second
site cannot reuse them.

## What is the new behavior?

* **A www suite scoped to changed content.** Changed `.mdx` files in
`_blog`,
`_events`, `_customers` and `_alternatives` map to the URLs they render.
Pages
with `disable_page_build: true` are skipped because they 404 by design.
Capped
at 20 pages. Enforces `heading-order` and `page-has-heading-one`,
matching docs.
* **`e2e/shared` The docs site is also static with similar needs. This
folder shares the docs logic with www.
* **A CI check that is safe to mark required.** Path scoping lives in a
`Detect changed paths` step rather than a `paths:` trigger, so the check
  reports on every pull request instead of being skipped.
`waitForVercelDocsPreview.js` becomes `waitForVercelPreview.js`, shared
by both
  workflows.

## How the check behaves

The job always reports a check run, so it is safe to mark required. Path
scoping
happens in a step rather than a `paths:` trigger, which would leave
non-www pull
requests waiting on a check that never reports.

| Case | Behavior |
| --- | --- |
| Fork pull request adds new pages | Passes without testing. The Vercel
wait is gated on `head.repo.full_name == github.repository`, so forks
resolve no preview URL. The job emits a `::warning` and a job summary
containing a ready-to-run `gh workflow run www-e2e.yml` command with the
resolved page paths, so a maintainer can run it against the preview. |
| Vercel preview times out or fails | Passes without testing. The wait
step is `continue-on-error: true`, so a 900s timeout or a failed
deployment leaves the URL unset and the suite skips. Vercel's own
`Vercel – zone-www-dot-com` check already reports the failure. |
| Draft pull request | Job does not run at all, gated at the job level
on `pull_request.draft == false`. `ready_for_review` is in the trigger's
`types`, so marking it ready runs the check. |
| Another app changed, www untouched | Job runs and every step skips.
The `www` filter matches only the four content directories, `e2e/www`,
`e2e/shared`, the lockfile, and this workflow. |
| Only the harness changed | Passes without testing. Scope resolves to
zero pages, and the Vercel wait is additionally gated on `www_app`, so
it does not wait for a preview Vercel skipped. |
| No preview resolves, any reason | Skips rather than falling back to
production. Production does not serve pages the pull request adds, so
testing it would fail a valid change. |

### Not covered

Changes to `apps/www` components and routes do not trigger this check —
only the
four content directories do. A follow-up can check global components
such as the navigation and the footer.

## Manual testing

1. Start the site: `pnpm dev:www`
2. Run `pnpm e2e:www` with no www content changed. It should resolve
zero pages
   and skip Playwright, not fail.
3. Touch a post, then run `pnpm e2e:www` again:
`echo "" >> apps/www/_blog/2024-01-01-some-post.mdx`. The resolved
`/blog/...`
   path should be listed before Playwright starts.
4. Run against production with no local server:
`PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com
WWW_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/blog/postgres-language-server pnpm e2e:www`
5. Point step 4 at a page with a known heading problem. The failure
should name
   the rule, the CSS selector and the markup.
6. Confirm docs still passes on the shared runner: `pnpm dev:docs`, then
   `pnpm e2e:docs`

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai
-->
## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added WWW end-to-end testing for affected content pages, including
accessibility checks.
* Added standard and full-site test commands, configurable preview
testing, and failure reports.
* Added shared utilities for page discovery, accessibility scanning, and
test execution.

* **Documentation**
* Documented WWW test setup, coverage, debugging, CI behavior, and
running checks against production or preview environments.

* **Improvements**
* Updated documentation test workflows to better identify affected
changes and handle preview environments.

777c02c205 test(docs): scan changed pages for WCAG 2.1 A/AA in warn mode (#48727)
Closes DOCS-1233

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Test coverage. The docs accessibility check now covers the full WCAG 2.1
A/AA rule set instead of two rules.

**Note:** This PR tests _only_ the main article of changed pages
(meaning, the content itself). A follow-up Linear issue is to address
scanning the pieces outside of that: header, navigation, and interactive
elements.

## What is the current behavior?

The `@a11y` test in `e2e/docs` runs two axe rules against each in-scope
page, `heading-order` and `page-has-heading-one`. Both already pass
everywhere, so the check only guards a result we have. Nothing else in
WCAG A/AA is checked.

## What is the new behavior?

The same test runs the full WCAG 2.1 A/AA rule set.

- **Existing debt does not block PRs.** Only the two heading rules fail.
Everything else reports.
- **The check stays fast.** It scans the article only and skips nine
rules that cannot fire there. Scan time drops from 2405ms to 981ms.
- **Findings belong to us.** Legacy mode excludes cross-origin frames.
YouTube embeds were counting against us, 11 of 15 violations on one
page.
- **A pass carries meaning.** A 404 reports as a load failure, not an
a11y bug. A page scanned before it hydrates warns instead of quietly
reporting clean.

## How the findings appear

The test is named `has no blocking accessibility violations`, so a
failure listed by CI is always something to fix. It is not named for the
full rule set, because a green check would then claim more than the
check verifies.

| | Rules | Where you see it |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Blocking | `heading-order`, `page-has-heading-one` | Test failure, so
the runner reports it on the PR |
| Reported | Everything else in WCAG A/AA | `::warning` annotation on
the run |

An annotation looks like this, on a run that still passes:

```
::warning title=Accessibility::/docs/guides/database/functions has 1 non-blocking accessibility finding(s): frame-title (4)
```

The full axe result for each page is attached to the report as
`axe-results.json`.

## Matching the Studio ratchet

This follows the ESLint ratchet in `apps/studio`. That pattern warns on
pre-existing debt rather than blocking on it, surfaces findings as
annotations rather than PR comments, and promotes a rule to an error
once its violations reach zero.

The mechanism here is `ENFORCED_RULES` in `utils/axe-helpers.ts`. The
two heading rules are on it because the heading-hierarchy work drove
them to zero site-wide.

The intent is to migrate rules into that list one at a time. Pick a
rule, fix its violations, then move it into `ENFORCED_RULES` so it
cannot come back. An exhaustive scan of the site groups the current
backlog by root cause to sequence that work, and two fixes cover 99.1%
of it.

Studio keeps per-file baseline counts, which this does not. A whole-rule
list is coarser, and it works here because docs violations reach zero
across the site rather than per file.

## Manual testing

Install the browser once, then run each step from the repo root. Every
command scans production, so you do not need a local docs server.

```bash
pnpm -C e2e/docs exec playwright install chromium
```

1. Confirm a reported finding does not fail the check.

   ```bash
DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/database/functions
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y
   ```

Expect `1 passed`, and the `::warning` annotation above in the output.

2. Confirm the scan finds that violation. Same page, now failing on
every rule.

   ```bash
A11Y_ENFORCE_ALL=1 DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/database/functions
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y
   ```

Expect `1 failed`, reporting `frame-title (serious, 4 node(s))`. Steps 1
and 2 together are the point of this PR.

3. Confirm the skipped rules stay skipped.

   ```bash
A11Y_ENFORCE_ALL=1
DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y
   ```

Expect `button-name (critical, 2 node(s))` and `label (critical, 2
node(s))`, and no `color-contrast`.

4. Confirm a page that does not load reports a load failure.

   ```bash
DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/does-not-exist-xyz
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs:a11y
   ```

Expect `Expected a successful response for
/docs/guides/does-not-exist-xyz, got 404`, and no axe assertion.

5. Confirm the link checker still passes alongside the a11y test.

   ```bash
DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/auth/passwords
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com pnpm e2e:docs
   ```

   Expect `3 passed`.

## Known gaps

- `/docs/reference/*` is not scanned. Those routes render client-side
into tens of thousands of elements, where axe exceeds its timeout and
results depend on whether the scan caught the page mid-render.
- Shared chrome is outside the article scope, so nav, sidebar, footer,
menus, and drawers are not covered.
- axe catches roughly 30-40% of WCAG issues. Keyboard navigation, focus
management, and screen reader behavior still need manual testing.

d45e0cd3d5 fix(docs ci): stop Docs E2E blocking pull requests it shouldn't (#48726)
Supersedes #48725, which GitHub closed when its head branch was renamed.
Same commits, same diff.

Fixes
[DOCS-1270](https://linear.app/supabase/issue/DOCS-1270/fail-the-e2e-pipeline-if-the-docs-preview-never-loads).

`Docs E2E` is a required check on `master`, so anything that turns it
red blocks a merge. It had three ways of going red that had nothing to
do with whether the author's docs were correct.

## Problem

**1. Every troubleshooting page could fail, with nothing actionable.**
Troubleshooting entries were selected by `article.prose`. That class is
not unique — `apps/docs/app/not-found.tsx` renders `<article
className="prose …">` too — and nothing guaranteed it matched the
entry's article at all. When it missed, the link test failed with `Page
article should be present` and the a11y test failed inside axe with `No
elements found for include in page Context` plus a stack trace. Neither
tells the author what to do.

This is what DOCS-1270 actually was. The ticket describes tests running
"against a preview build that was never created", but the [failing
run](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/actions/runs/30949924515/job/92132543658)
for #48719 shows the preview resolved fine and `response.ok()` passed —
it broke at the article assertion. **Blocked:** anyone adding or editing
a troubleshooting entry.

**2. Fork pull requests failed for being forks.** Fork runs get no
`VERCEL_TOKEN`, so no preview URL resolves, and the base-URL step fell
back to `https://supabase.com`. The page paths under test can include
pages the pull request *adds*, which do not exist on production, so they
404. **Blocked:** every external contributor adding a docs page,
unconditionally, with no action available to them.

**3. A Vercel problem failed the docs check.**
`waitForVercelDocsPreview.js` throws when Vercel reports a failed
deployment, omits a `target_url`, or does not post a status within 900s.
The step had no `continue-on-error`, so any of those turned `Docs E2E`
red. **Blocked:** any author whose pull request coincided with a Vercel
incident. This is live right now — two Vercel checks on this very pull
request are failing with "unable to fetch required git information", a
git-integration auth error that happens before any build runs.

## Solution

**1. Select on a stable, purpose-named attribute.** Add
`id="sb-docs-troubleshooting-main-article"` on the troubleshooting
article, mirroring `#sb-docs-guide-main-article` on guides, and select
on that instead of the class. Per review feedback, a plain id doesn't
say it's a test hook, so both articles also get `data-testid` with the
same value — matching the convention `apps/studio` already uses with
Playwright's `getByTestId` — and the e2e selectors target that attribute
instead. Guides keep their `id` — `GuidesMdx.client.tsx` and
`GuidesSidebar.tsx` both query it directly for the table of contents and
the "copy article" fallback — and gain `data-testid` alongside it.

**2 and 3. Resolve a preview or skip — never substitute production,
never fail on Vercel.** The production fallback is gone.
`continue-on-error: true` on the preview wait means a Vercel failure
resolves no URL instead of failing the job, which lands in the same path
as a fork: `should_test=false`, so Playwright is skipped and the check
passes. Both cases emit a `::warning::` and a job summary with the exact
`gh workflow run` command to test the preview by hand, and manual runs
against a non-production base URL now send the protection bypass so that
command actually works.

Skipping does not let a broken preview through: `Vercel – docs` is
itself a required check on `master`, so a genuine preview failure still
blocks the merge — via the check that describes the real problem.


## Manual test

**1. The selector matches the markup, and it needs this pull request's
preview.** `data-testid` isn't deployed anywhere yet — not on
production, not on any other branch — so this is the one claim in this
PR that production cannot confirm. Verified directly against this
branch's own Vercel preview:

```bash
curl -s https://docs-git-docs-e2e-stop-false-blocks-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/database/overview \
  | grep -o 'data-testid="[^"]*"'
curl -s https://docs-git-docs-e2e-stop-false-blocks-supabase.vercel.app/docs/guides/troubleshooting/42501--permission-denied-for-table-httprequestqueue-KnozmQ \
  | grep -o 'data-testid="[^"]*"'
```

Expect `data-testid="sb-docs-guide-main-article"` and
`data-testid="sb-docs-troubleshooting-main-article"` respectively. Then
run the suite against that same preview — expect all page/link/a11y
checks to pass:

```bash
PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://docs-git-docs-e2e-stop-false-blocks-supabase.vercel.app \
DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/database/overview,/docs/guides/troubleshooting/42501--permission-denied-for-table-httprequestqueue-KnozmQ \
pnpm -C e2e/docs exec playwright test --reporter=list
```

Running the same command with `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=https://supabase.com`
fails both pages right now — expected until this merges, not a
regression. Once merged, exercise it through the real pipeline:

```bash
gh workflow run docs-e2e.yml --ref docs-e2e/stop-false-blocks \
  -f base_url=<preview-url> \
  -f page_paths=/docs/guides/troubleshooting/42501--permission-denied-for-table-httprequestqueue-KnozmQ
```

**2. No preview means skip, not a run against production.** Exercise the
base-URL step's three paths from the repository root:

```bash
export GITHUB_OUTPUT=$(mktemp) GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY=$(mktemp) PAGE_PATHS=/docs/guides/a
script=$(python3 -c "import yaml;print([s for s in yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/docs-e2e.yml'))['jobs']['e2e']['steps'] if s.get('name')=='Resolve base URL'][0]['run'])")
for c in "workflow_dispatch|https://supabase.com|" "pull_request||https://docs-abc.vercel.app" "pull_request||"; do
  IFS='|' read -r ev url dep <<< "$c"
  : > "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
  EVENT_NAME="$ev" BASE_URL_INPUT="${url:-https://supabase.com}" DEPLOYMENT_URL="$dep" bash -c "$script" >/dev/null 2>&1
  echo "$ev deployment=[${dep:-none}] -> $(tr '\n' ' ' < "$GITHUB_OUTPUT")"
done
tail -4 "$GITHUB_STEP_SUMMARY"
```

Expected:

```
workflow_dispatch deployment=[none] -> url=https://supabase.com use_bypass=false should_test=true
pull_request deployment=[https://docs-abc.vercel.app] -> url=https://docs-abc.vercel.app use_bypass=true should_test=true
pull_request deployment=[none] -> url= use_bypass=false should_test=false
```

followed by a runnable `gh workflow run docs-e2e.yml` command in the job
summary. The third line covers both the fork case and the Vercel-failure
case: no base URL, no test, no block.

**3. A Vercel failure no longer fails the job.** `continue-on-error:
true` on the wait step is what routes a throw into that third line:

```bash
python3 -c "
import yaml
s=[x for x in yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/docs-e2e.yml'))['jobs']['e2e']['steps'] if x.get('name')=='Wait for Vercel docs preview'][0]
print('continue-on-error:', s.get('continue-on-error'))
for n in ('Install dependencies','Install Playwright Chromium','Run docs E2E'):
    print(n, '->', [x for x in yaml.safe_load(open('.github/workflows/docs-e2e.yml'))['jobs']['e2e']['steps'] if x.get('name')==n][0]['if'])
"
```

Expect `continue-on-error: True` and all three run steps gated on
`steps.base-url.outputs.should_test == 'true'`.

**Note on this pull request's own check.** The scope resolver only maps
`apps/docs/content/**` to pages, and this pull request changes none, so
`Docs E2E` resolves zero pages and skips — which is correct, and why the
dispatch above is the real test.

52cb1c2600 feat(docs) Dynamically E2E test all docs-owned content (#48320)
Closes DOCS-1203

## Problem

The docs E2E workflow only ever tested one hardcoded page: the Next.js
quickstart. All other docs content had no E2E coverage.

## Solution

This PR expands the initial scaffolding to generalize the Next.js
quickstart tests, page runs and checks local links, to all pages
affecting Docs content:


- Add `resolveDocsScope` (`e2e/docs/utils/resolve-docs-scope.ts`) to map
changed guide and troubleshooting `.mdx` files to their `/docs/...` page
paths, and to expand changed `_partials` to every page that includes
them (including transitively, through partials nested inside other
partials). Federated guide sections (`graphql`,
`database/extensions/wrappers`, `ai/python`, `deployment/terraform`,
`deployment/ci`) and reference docs stay out of scope, and resolution is
capped at 20 pages to keep runtime bounded.
- Replace the single `quickstarts.spec.ts` test with a generic
`docs-pages.spec.ts` that loads whatever pages are resolved, asserting
each renders with an `<h1>` and that its docs-owned links resolve.
- Add `run-e2e-docs.ts` so `pnpm e2e:docs` resolves scope locally (from
commits since `origin/master`, plus staged/unstaged changes) and skips
Playwright entirely when nothing in scope changed.
- Update `.github/workflows/docs-e2e.yml` to widen the trigger paths to
all guides/troubleshooting/partials, resolve scope in a dedicated step,
skip the rest of the job when scope is empty, and accept a `page_paths`
input for manual `workflow_dispatch` runs.
- Rewrite `e2e/docs/README.md` to document the new scoping behavior, the
override envs (`DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS`, `DOCS_E2E_BASE_REF`), and how CI
uses the suite.
- `pnpm e2e:docs:all` is also added to run tests on every page locally.
Good for scoping issues but should not be included in CI.

## Manual testing

Walk through the following steps to verify this works:

- [x] `pnpm e2e:docs` from repo root resolves the expected pages for a
local guide edit and can run against local dev
**Note:** Challenges with testing on local in part because of the long
lag for first page load. Recommendation to use a hosted URL is added to
docs.
- [x] Editing a shared `_partials` file resolves to every page that
includes it (including through nested partials)
- [x] `pnpm e2e:docs` exits cleanly with no Playwright run when no
in-scope files changed
- [x] `git diff --name-only ... | pnpm -C e2e/docs resolve-docs-scope`
prints the expected page list for a sample diff
- [x] Workflow run on a PR that only touches `e2e/docs`/workflow files
skips the Playwright steps
- [x] Manual `workflow_dispatch` run with `page_paths` set tests only
those pages
- [x] Run `pnpm e2e:docs:all` to run the suite on all docs content,
which takes awhile

## Next steps

After this PR merges, we have the scaffolding to add more fun tests like
a11y 😁

<!-- This is an auto-generated comment: release notes by coderabbit.ai

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Added scoped Docs E2E runs that target eligible doc pages based on
changes, plus manual page-targeted runs and an “all eligible pages”
mode.
* Introduced `DOCS_E2E_PAGE_PATHS` (and updated base ref/base URL
behavior) to control which pages are tested.
* **Bug Fixes**
* Automatically skips Playwright setup when no relevant pages are in

9199aad57e feat(docs) Add scaffolding and CI/CD step for Docs Playwright (#48120)
Closes DOCS-1197



## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## Problem

We do not have any E2E testing established. 

## Solution

This PR creates an ultra-lean starting place for Docs Playwright:

- A CI/CD step that skips on draft and relies on Preview for testing
- One simple broken link check for one page

The goal: 
- Playwright is implemented where we want it, with an architecture we
want, with set-up steps we can build from

The anti-goal of this PR:
- We have meaningful tests running

## CI/CD steps

<img width="1191" height="72" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-21 at 10 17 06 AM"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/eeb2454c-d864-4574-a050-ce39bb3f083f"
/>

1. Checkout a thin slice of the repo (`apps/docs`, `packages`,
`patches`).
2. Wait for the Vercel **docs** preview for that commit SHA.
3. Use that preview URL as `PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL`.
4. Install Node deps and Chromium.
5. Run `pnpm run e2e:docs` (`--grep @quickstart`).
6. If anything fails, upload the HTML report + traces.

Manual runs skip the Vercel wait and default to `https://supabase.com`
(or whatever URL you enter), then run the full suite (`pnpm run e2e`).

## What the test checks

Because this PR is scaffolding, it is doing something very basic:

1. Opens `/docs/guides/getting-started/quickstarts/nextjs` only if a
connected file was edited in CI/CD step
2. Asserts the page loaded and the H1 is visible.
3. Collects docs-owned `/docs/**` links from
`#sb-docs-guide-main-article`.
4. HTTP-checks each link (no full navigation) and soft-fails so every
broken link is reported.

Config keeps it cheap: Chromium only, 1 worker, 2 CI retries, failure
screenshots/traces.


## Docs vs Studio/Dashboard

The setup of Docs Playwright differs from Studio.

| | Docs E2E | Studio E2E |
|---|---|---|
| Location |`e2e/docs/` | `e2e/studio/` |
| What it tests | One published docs page + its links | Many Studio UI
flows (tables, auth, storage, …) |
| Where the app runs | Already-deployed **Vercel preview** | Built and
started **on the runner** |
| Backend needed | None | Local Supabase via Docker |
| Path filtering | Native `on.pull_request.paths` (skip whole workflow)
| `dorny/paths-filter` after checkout (workflow starts, heavy steps

The big conceptual difference: **Studio owns the environment** (build
Studio, start Supabase, hit `localhost`). **Docs borrows Vercel’s
preview** and only asks “does this page and its docs links work on the
deployed site?”

## Docs architecture justification

The docs architecture is deliberately lightweight because docs are
**static, published content served by Vercel**, not an interactive app
with a backend. That single fact justifies every difference:

- **Borrow the Vercel preview instead of building on the runner.** The
preview is already the exact artifact users will see, and Vercel builds
it for free on every PR. Rebuilding docs on the runner would duplicate
that work and risk testing something different from what ships. Studio,
by contrast, needs a running app plus a local Supabase, so it *has* to
own its environment.

- **No backend.** Docs pages don't need a database or auth to render, so
there's nothing to spin up. This is what keeps the job cheap enough to
run per-PR.

- **Native `paths` filtering.** Since the job is cheap and
self-contained, an all-or-nothing skip at the workflow level is
sufficient—no need for `dorny/paths-filter` to gate expensive setup
steps mid-run like Studio does.

- **Low parallelism and modest retries.** One page and its links is a
tiny surface, so 1 worker is plenty and there's no sharding to
coordinate. Retries exist only to absorb transient network flakiness
against a live URL, hence 2 rather than Studio's 5 (which also cushions
a heavier, stateful environment).

- **Non-blocking + draft skip + manual dispatch.** As initial
scaffolding checking link health on a deployed site, it should inform
rather than gate merges, avoid burning minutes on drafts, and still be
runnable on demand against production.

In short: **Studio owns its environment because it must; docs borrows
Vercel's preview because it can.** The scope is intentionally minimal
today.

## Testing

1. Break a docs-owned link in the Next.js quickstart.
1. Follow README instructions to set up and run e2e docs test.
1. Confirm the suite fails.
1. Restore the broken link and re-run.
1. Confirm the suite **passes** (`1 passed`).

## Summary by CodeRabbit

## Summary

- **New Features**
- Added a GitHub Actions workflow to run Playwright docs end-to-end
tests on PRs and via manual dispatch (with optional base URL), including
docs-preview waiting and concurrency cancellation.
- **Documentation**
- Added `e2e/docs` README with setup, how to run the suite (including
UI/debug and single-spec), and how base URL selection works.
- **Tests**
- Added a quickstarts E2E spec that validates the page and soft-checks
docs-owned links resolve.
- **Chores**
- Added shared Playwright configuration/package scripts and an
`e2e/docs` `.gitignore` for test outputs.
