+# Playwright Tests — Improvement & Expansion
+
+> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
+
+**Goal:** Reorganise the flat `tests/ui/` into feature subdirectories, fix stale trip-slug references that cause 30 pre-existing failures, add missing test files from the main branch, add a GPX Manager end-to-end suite (GM1–GM7), extend the post form suite (P6–P8), and extend axe scans (AX6–AX7).
+
+**Architecture:** All changes stay inside `tests/`. Playwright's `testDir: './tests/ui'` recurses automatically so `playwright.config.js` is untouched. End-to-end tests hit the live Grav server at `http://localhost:8081`; demo data is loaded by `globalSetup` via `make demo-load`.
+
+**Tech Stack:** Playwright (Node), Grav REST API (`/api/v1`), axe-core via `@axe-core/playwright`, existing `helpers.js`.
+
+## Global Constraints
+
+- Branch: `worktree-playwright-tests`; working directory: `.claude/worktrees/playwright-tests/`
+- Grav server must be running at `http://localhost:8081` before running tests
+- Demo trip used in tests: `italy-2026-demo` (slug used in all fixture references)
+- `helpers.js` stays at `tests/ui/helpers.js` — moved specs update their import from `./helpers` to `../helpers`
+- `auth.setup.js` `testMatch: /auth\.setup\.js/` resolves by filename — works at any depth
+- P2 remains skipped (photo upload needs post-form work first)
+- End-to-end GPX Manager tests make real API calls — `afterAll` cleans up uploaded fixture files
+- Run tests: `npx playwright test --reporter=line`

+
+## Task 1: Sync missing test files and fix stale trip-slug references
+
+30 of 49 tests fail on the current branch because tests reference `japan-korea-2026` and `italy-2025` trips that no longer match the demo data. This task brings the branch up to parity with `main`'s up-to-date test files.
+
+**Files to overwrite (correct content below):**
+- `tests/ui/nav.spec.js`
+- `tests/ui/dailies.spec.js`
+- `tests/ui/stories.spec.js`
+- `tests/ui/gpx-journey.spec.js`
+
+**Files to create:**
+- `tests/ui/home.spec.js`
+- `tests/ui/home-highlights.spec.js`
+- `tests/ui/accessibility.spec.js`

+
+- [ ] **Step 9: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/ui/nav.spec.js tests/ui/dailies.spec.js tests/ui/stories.spec.js \
+        tests/ui/gpx-journey.spec.js tests/ui/home.spec.js \

+## Task 2: Add test-route.gpx fixture

+
+```xml
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
+<gpx version="1.1" creator="test" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1">

+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add tests/fixtures/test-route.gpx
+git commit -m "test: add minimal GPX fixture for GPX Manager tests"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Reorganize tests into subdirectories
+
+Move all 13 spec/setup files from `tests/ui/` into feature subdirectories using `git mv`. `helpers.js` stays at `tests/ui/helpers.js`. After moving, update every `require('./helpers')` to `require('../helpers')`.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Create subdirectory structure and move files**
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p tests/ui/auth tests/ui/post tests/ui/gpx tests/ui/maps \
+          tests/ui/stories tests/ui/dailies tests/ui/home tests/ui/nav \
+          tests/ui/trip tests/ui/a11y
+
+git mv tests/ui/auth.setup.js   tests/ui/auth/auth.setup.js
+git mv tests/ui/auth.spec.js    tests/ui/auth/auth.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/post.spec.js    tests/ui/post/post.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/validation.spec.js tests/ui/post/validation.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/gpx-journey.spec.js tests/ui/gpx/gpx-journey.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/maps.spec.js    tests/ui/maps/maps.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/stories.spec.js tests/ui/stories/stories.spec.js

+git mv tests/ui/trip-filter.spec.js tests/ui/trip/trip-filter.spec.js
+git mv tests/ui/accessibility.spec.js tests/ui/a11y/accessibility.spec.js
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Update helpers import path in every moved spec**
+
+Every moved file has `require('./helpers')` — change to `require('../helpers')`. Run this from the project root:
+
+```bash
+find tests/ui -mindepth 2 -name "*.js" -exec \
+  sed -i "s|require('./helpers')|require('../helpers')|g" {} \;
+```
+
+Verify no `./helpers` remain:
+
+```bash
+grep -r "require('./helpers')" tests/ui/
+```
+
+Expected: no output.
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Update home-highlights.spec.js path for site.yaml**
+
+`home-highlights.spec.js` has `path.join(__dirname, '../../user/config/site.yaml')`. After the move it sits one level deeper, so update to `'../../../user/config/site.yaml'`:
+
+In `tests/ui/home/home-highlights.spec.js`, change:
+```js
+const SITE_YAML_PATH = path.join(__dirname, '../../user/config/site.yaml');
+```
+to:
+```js
+const SITE_YAML_PATH = path.join(__dirname, '../../../user/config/site.yaml');
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 4: Update helpers.js TRACKER_DIR path**
+
+`helpers.js` uses `path.join(__dirname, '../../user/pages/...')`. It stays at `tests/ui/helpers.js` so no change needed — verify:
+
+```bash
+head -6 tests/ui/helpers.js
+```
+
+Expected: `__dirname` still resolves to `tests/ui/` — no change needed.
+
+- [ ] **Step 5: Run tests to verify move didn't break anything**
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test --reporter=line 2>&1 | tail -5
+```
+
+Expected: same pass/fail count as after Task 1.
+
+- [ ] **Step 6: Commit**
+
+```bash
+git add -A tests/ui/
+git commit -m "test: reorganise tests/ui/ into feature subdirectories"
+```

+
+## Task 4: Add GPX Manager end-to-end spec
+
+Create `tests/ui/gpx/gpx-manager.spec.js` with GM1–GM7. Tests make real API calls; `afterAll` cleans up uploaded files via Node `fetch`.
+
+The `storageState` file at `tests/.auth/user.json` contains the session cookie. `afterAll` reads it to authenticate a cleanup DELETE call.

+## Task 6: Extend accessibility scans (AX6–AX7)
+
+Add two more `axeScan()` calls to the bottom of `tests/ui/a11y/accessibility.spec.js`. AX6 mocks the API so the GPX Manager file list renders without a real upload dependency.
+
+- [ ] **Step 1: Append AX6 and AX7 to accessibility.spec.js**
+
+AX6 needs a mocked API route so the `.gpx-loading` placeholder resolves. Add a dedicated test (not via `axeScan()` helper) to support the mock:

+```js
+// ── AX6: /gpx-manager passes axe (mocked file list) ──────────────────────────

+                data: [{ filename: 'day1.gpx', size: 51200, modified: '2026-06-01T10:00:00Z' }]
+            })

+    // Wait for file list to render before scanning
+    await expect(page.locator('.gpx-table')).toBeVisible({ timeout: 10000 });
+    const results = await new AxeBuilder({ page }).withTags(WCAG_TAGS).analyze();

+        ).join('\n\n')
+    ).toHaveLength(0);
+});
+```
+
+Then append the standard call for AX7:
+
+```js
+axeScan('AX7', '/trips/italy-2026-demo/stories/val-dorcia-at-dawn');
+```
+
+- [ ] **Step 2: Run accessibility tests in isolation**
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test tests/ui/a11y/accessibility.spec.js --reporter=line 2>&1
+```
+
+Expected: all AX scans pass or fail only on pre-existing violations (document any new ones as known issues in the test failure message).
+
+- [ ] **Step 3: Run full suite — final check**
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test --reporter=line 2>&1 | tail -10
