Goal

Start the next E2E optimization phase by reducing redundant Chromium coverage without reducing behavioral coverage.

This is intentionally a small pilot on one durable sync family so the KEEP / SPLIT / MOVE approach can be reviewed before applying it more broadly. It follows #203, which is now merged.

What changes

1. Move transactional Work-Tag coalescing out of Chromium

Removes:

OfflineWorkTagTests.test_coalescing_across_reload_and_repeated_intent

The exact contract is already owned by the fast local-store Node selftest:

  • repeated intent produces one durable operation;
  • a fresh store instance over the same IndexedDB models reload;
  • the opposite never-sent intent cancels across that reload;
  • syncing/lost-response rows remain non-coalescible.

That contract is deterministic IndexedDB/state-machine behavior and does not need a real page, service worker, PRKS server, or Chromium process.

2. Split lost-response replay across the correct fast layers

Removes:

OfflineWorkTagTests.test_lost_response_replays_once

and adds an explicit fast regression to tests/browser/run_work_tag_sync_selftest.js proving:

  • a transport loss leaves the original operation pending;
  • retry uses the same op_id;
  • retry preserves the same semantic envelope;
  • the acknowledged replay is reconciled and retired.

The server half remains covered by tests/test_work_tag_sync.py, which proves exact/idempotent replay for an existing op_id and that the relationship revision is not advanced twice.

Together these layers prove the old browser composition without launching Chromium for it.

3. Keep the genuinely browser-level Work-Tag coverage

The E2E module still retains 14 integrated scenarios covering the boundaries for which a real browser is useful:

  • offline add/remove through the real Work UI;
  • reload + PRKS-server restart + reconnect;
  • conflict-resolution controls and visible optimistic state;
  • missing/degraded Tag-catalog behavior;
  • offline-created Tag attachment ordering;
  • online UI wiring through the durable queue;
  • Settings-driven offline-cache clear;
  • missing-Work diagnostics/discard flow;
  • Tag merge/delete conflicts;
  • offline Tag deletion and dependent-operation behavior.

4. Establish KEEP / SPLIT / MOVE guidance

tests/e2e/AGENTS.md now requires E2E contracts to be classified as:

  • KEEP — inherently browser/app-lifecycle behavior;
  • SPLIT — retain a thin browser boundary, move deterministic branches lower;
  • MOVE — fully covered by Node/API/Python after replacement coverage exists.

docs/e2e-performance.md records the Work-Tag pilot and the exact replacement coverage.

Expected impact

This removes 2 of 16 Work-Tag Chromium scenarios (12.5%) while preserving the actual contracts in faster tests.

The larger value is establishing a reviewable pattern for later sync/offline families instead of deleting many E2Es in one opaque batch.

Validation

Fast coverage touched by this PR:

  • tests/test_frontend_work_tag_sync.py executes run_work_tag_sync_selftest.js;
  • tests/test_work_tag_sync.py covers backend replay/idempotency;
  • the existing local-store Node selftest covers transactional coalescing/reload semantics.

Browser validation should run the remaining Work-Tag module once the fast suite is green. No production data, retries, fake E2E backend, shared browser state, or weakened offline assertions are introduced.

Non-goals

This PR does not yet rationalize every sync family. Follow-up slices can apply the same per-contract audit to folders, playlists, metadata, notes, people, source, concepts, positions, and arguments after this pilot is reviewed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Added self-test coverage verifying that a work-tag operation retried after a lost response keeps the same identifier and details, and is cleared after acknowledgment.
    • Narrowed offline reload coverage to the add-then-remove path and removed browser-level lost-response replay checks, which are covered by lower-level tests.
  • Documentation
    • Added guidance on keeping browser tests focused on app lifecycle flows and covering deterministic behavior at lower test layers.

Walkthrough

The changes add a browser self-test for retry behavior after a lost response, update Work-Tag E2E coverage guidance, and narrow or remove browser E2E checks.

The guidance maps Work-Tag checks to browser self-test and server-test coverage, and lists the user-visible flows retained in E2E. The E2E helper uses wait_for_async. The coalescing test now describes the post-reload opposite-edit path, and the lost-response replay test is removed.

High-Level Assessment

The layered approach is appropriate: deterministic queue and retry mechanics belong in fast Node tests, server idempotency remains in Python, and Chromium is reserved for genuine browser integration. Retaining the removed E2Es would duplicate coverage and runtime, while moving all Work-Tag scenarios lower would lose meaningful UI and lifecycle validation.

The first rationalized family is Work Tags. Transactional coalescing across a fresh
store instance is owned by `tests/browser/run_local_store_selftest.js`; lost-response
retry identity is owned by `tests/browser/run_work_tag_sync_selftest.js` plus backend
op-id replay/idempotency coverage. The Work-Tag E2Es therefore keep the user-visible

P2 Badge Retain the post-reload Work-Tag editor boundary

The replacement test calls coalesceWorkTag() directly on a reopened fake store, so it does not cover the removed scenario's browser-specific second half: after page.reload(), a newly mounted work-tag-editor.js must reload canonical state.options, overlay the pending operation, and route the opposite click back through coalescing. The remaining reload E2E only observes the pending chips before reconnecting; a regression in mount()/prepare()/edit() could therefore make post-reload opposite intent fail or enqueue incorrectly while both cited lower-level tests still pass. Keep a thin browser assertion for the post-reload edit and leave the deterministic store branches in Node.

Found one remaining coverage gap on the current head:

P2 — Restore the opposite post-reload direction (pending remove → re-add).

The narrowed test_post_reload_opposite_edit_cancels_pending now covers only:

offline add → reload → remove → queue cancels.

The original test also covered the asymmetric browser path:

offline remove of an assigned Tag → reload → search/picker re-add → queue cancels.

That second half is not equivalent at the UI layer. Re-add goes through the remounted picker/catalog path (bindPicker() / dropdown filtering / the result-item action) before reaching edit(..., true), whereas removal is performed from the rendered chip button. The Node local-store selftest proves both coalescing directions, but it cannot catch a regression where the remounted picker fails to expose the pending-removed Tag, uses stale effective assignments, or never routes the re-add click to edit().

Please keep the E2E thin, but exercise both opposite directions after reload in this one browser test. The deterministic repeated-intent/store branches can remain in Node as intended.

Separately, after that change the PR description should be refreshed: the current head has 15 Work-Tag E2Es (one removed, one narrowed), so the existing “14 integrated scenarios / removes 2 of 16 (12.5%)” wording is stale.

PR description refresh (tooling cannot rewrite the owner-authored body):

Current head (2fa1629) has 15 Work-Tag E2Es (was 16): 1 removed (test_lost_response_replays_once), 1 narrowed into test_post_reload_opposite_edit_cancels_pending (both post-reload opposite UI directions: chip remove + picker re-add). Stale “14 integrated scenarios / removes 2 of 16 (12.5%)” wording should be updated accordingly.

Owner P2 addressed on tip: both remount opposite paths exercised in that one thin browser test; deterministic store branches remain in Node.

🟡 Minor · Use wait_for_async for the durable-queue predicate. · test_work_tags_offline.py:145

tests/e2e/test_work_tags_offline.py:145
📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use wait_for_async for the durable-queue predicate.

pending passes an asynchronous predicate to page.evaluate, which violates the E2E instruction. Replace the custom polling loop with wait_for_async. Existing callers pass scalar counts, so this preserves the helper interface.

-                    .filter(r => ['ADD_WORK_TAG', 'REMOVE_WORK_TAG'].includes(r.operation));
-                if (rows.filter(r => r.status !== 'acknowledged').length === n) return;
