Fixes nbconvert PDF exports that render with missing glyphs because xelatex ran in a container without the needed fonts. Installs the font packages in the image or switches the document to available fonts. Not for xelatex not being installed at all, and not for LaTeX errors from bad markup.

Stabilizes Playwright screenshots that flake because webfonts load late in CI. Use when screenshot comparisons intermittently fail with text rendered in fallback fonts. Covers waiting for document.fonts.ready, self-hosting fonts, and masking font-sensitive regions. Not for consistent font diffs against the baseline.

Generates Playwright screenshot baselines so the first CI run stops failing. Use when expect.toHaveScreenshot fails with A snapshot doesn't exist on the first CI run. Covers generating baselines with --update-snapshots in CI-like conditions, committing them, and configuring CI to fail on missing snapshots. Not for sna…
Fixes Playwright hidden-state timeouts where the element never hides in CI. Use when waiting for locator to be hidden times out only in CI. Covers screenshotting the actual state, finding the condition that should hide the element, and waiting on the underlying cause. Not for elements hidden everywhere.
Restores @testing-library/jest-dom matchers when jest cannot find them in CI. Use when tests fail with toBeInTheDocument is not a function only in CI. Covers finding which jest config CI actually loads, verifying the setupFilesAfterEnv entry, and confirming the setup file imports jest-dom. Not for matchers missing eve…
Fixes the screenshot agent flagging expected German text expansion as a layout bug. Compare each locale against its own baseline, not against English. Use when German screenshots fail against English baselines. Not for real truncation bugs.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - cost agent flagged a false spend spike - it compared Black Friday traffic against a quiet September baseline - locale qa agent compared screenshots across os fonts and the visual check failed

Fixes unreproducible rendering bugs caused by browser version mismatch between the agent's sandbox and CI. Use when a visual or DOM test fails on CI but passes for the agent and browser versions differ. Covers matching the exact CI browser version, pinning browser versions in CI config, and treating version-specific r…
Tightens a screenshot diff threshold that is letting real regressions through, with per-region thresholds and a reviewed diff gallery. Use when visual regressions ship despite screenshot tests passing. Not for tests with inherently unstable rendering, which need rendering stabilization or masking, not threshold tuning.
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent approved snapshot diffs it couldn't actually see - no image tooling in its sandbox, and one hid a real... - [cost agent missed a real 3x spend spike - its z-score threshold was trained on a noi…

Fixes snapshot updates generated on macOS failing on Linux CI due to font rendering differences. Use when image snapshots updated on a Mac fail on Linux CI. Covers regenerating baselines on the CI platform, keeping per-platform baselines, and never accepting cross-platform snapshot updates. Not for text snapshots or g…
Vectle found the following relevant skills: - agent's snapshot update ran on macOS - the font rendering baked in fails on CI's Linux screenshots - [agent updated 200 snapshots after a font change and missed the one snapshot that hid a real UI re…
