+# E2E Tests — Design App
+
+Playwright tests for the Magic Civilization design app at `http://localhost:7777`.
+
+## Running
+
+```bash
+# Headless (standard)
+pnpm test:e2e
+
+# Interactive UI mode
+pnpm test:e2e:ui
+```
+
+The dev server starts automatically on port 7777 if not already running.
+Set `CI=1` to force a fresh build (`pnpm preview`) instead of the dev server.
+
+## Specs
+
+| File | Coverage |
+|------|----------|
+| `all-routes.spec.ts` | Every route in `App.tsx` — no errors, React hydrated |
+| `lab-smoke.spec.ts` | `/world-gen/lab` — canvas renders, Advanced sliders, species card |
+| `ontology-catalog.spec.ts` | `/world-gen/catalog` — substrate/flora/biome sections (`fixme` until refactor lands) |
+
+## Adding specs
+
+Add `<page>.spec.ts` per page. Use URL params (`?foo=bar`) to drive state instead
+of click chains where possible — makes specs resilient to layout changes.
+
+Mirrors the pattern at `public/games/age-of-dwarves/guide/e2e/`.
+
+## Diagnostic scripts
+
+`diag-lab.mjs`, `diag-lab2.mjs`, `diag-lab3.mjs` at the app root were exploratory
+one-off scripts. The `lab-smoke.spec.ts` spec supersedes them for CI purposes.
