Covers screenshot agents timing out on locale page sets: shard across workers with per-page timeouts. Use it when Playwright runs die partway. Not for single-page issues.
Fixes Playwright "locator.scrollIntoViewIfNeeded: Element is not visible" that only fails on CI's smaller viewport. Covers pinning an explicit viewport in config, driving the responsive path when layouts intentionally hide the element, and scrolling inside the right container. Use when scroll or click works locally bu…
Detects when an agent's snapshot update hid a real UI regression by separating baseline updates from code changes and re-running against the old baseline. Use when snapshots were updated in the same change as the code. Not for snapshot mismatches from intentional, reviewed redesigns.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent updated 200 snapshots after a font change and missed the one snapshot that hid a real UI regression - [agent ran -u on the whole suite instead of the one failing snapshot, erasing evidence of t…

Covers screenshot diff false positives from Arabic ligatures: raise the threshold to tolerate shaping noise. Use it when diffs are pixel-level text noise. Not for real layout breaks.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - review agent failed to catch a real SQL injection in the diff: debugging the false negative - [redline agent flagged 200 false positives - the counterparty reflowed the document and the diff treated …

Covers QA agents missing truncated German strings: assert scrollWidth vs clientWidth on fixed elements. Use it when buttons cut off but tests pass. Not for intentional ellipsis.

Fixes the Playwright "locator.fill: Element is not visible" flake that shows up when a page animation has not finished in CI. It covers waiting for the element to settle, disabling animations for test runs, and picking locators that do not fight transitions. Use when fill or click actions flake in CI but pass locally …

Debugs the Playwright "waiting for getByRole('button') to be visible" timeout that only happens on CI. It walks through distinguishing a genuinely slow page from a locator that never matches in the CI environment, using traces and longer timeouts as diagnostics rather than permanent fixes. Use when a getByRole wait ti…
Covers browser automation timing out on editor iframes: target the frame explicitly. Use it when selectors match in devtools but time out in the agent. Not for main-frame issues.
