QA Cases.

The one format question we never closed yesterday. This is the proposal, and where it fits inside the playbook you're already drafting.

Testing is not the pyramid alone. It is a four-phase OS that bookends the pyramid with intent up-front and observability after.

The pyramid Reggie and I keep drawing is the middle two phases of your OS. Code quality runs in parallel underneath the whole thing.

Each tool runs at a different moment in time. Earlier gates are cheaper. Later gates are higher confidence. Nothing is redundant.

Frontmatter. Setup. Steps. Assertions. Out of scope. That is the whole schema.

id:     web.auth.login.google
title:  Web sign-in shows Google button, starts OAuth
app:    web            # web | admin | api
area:   authentication
tags:   [@critical]   # critical | ft-only | e2e-only
owners: [pascal, keith]
---

## Setup
- The user is signed out.
- Mocks: auth.google.start, auth.google.callback.

## Steps
1. I navigate to /authentication/login.
2. I expect "Sign in with Google" to be visible.
3. I click "Sign in with Google".
4. I wait for the URL to leave /authentication/login.

## Assertions
- The button renders before any click.
- Clicking leaves the login route (mocked OAuth).

## Out of scope
- Real Google OAuth (covered by @e2e-only case).

The translation is deterministic. Reggie's NCEE Teaching Partner setup is the architecture we lift into every other repo.

## Steps
1. I navigate to /authentication/login.
2. I expect "Sign in with Google" to be visible.
3. I click "Sign in with Google".
4. I wait for the URL to leave the login route.

import { test, expect } from '../../fixtures/unified';

test.describe('Web Login @critical', () => {
  test('shows Google sign-in, starts OAuth',
    async ({ mockedPage, loginPage }) => {
      await loginPage.goto();
      await expect(loginPage.googleLoginButton).toBeVisible();
      await Promise.all([
        mockedPage.waitForURL(u =>
          !u.toString().includes('/authentication/login')),
        loginPage.clickGoogleLogin(),
      ]);
  });
});

Pascal owns the QA case library and the playbook. Reggie owns the Playwright architecture. Keith owns the first wave + the Convex port.

Three calls to make in this meeting. The rest of the week writes itself.
