Test Validation Loop

After writing or modifying tests:

Run tests: npx playwright test --reporter=list
If tests fail:
- Review error output and trace (npx playwright show-trace)
- Fix locators, waits, or assertions
- Re-run tests
Only proceed when all tests pass
Run multiple times for critical tests: npx playwright test --repeat-each=5
