Broaden e2e coverage: invalid credentials, session persistence, API auth
Added: wrong-password rejection (local + OIDC), session survives a
page reload, and API-level checks that /api/hosts, /api/devices,
/api/auth/me all reject unauthenticated requests regardless of what
the UI does.

No new app bugs found this round -- one test assertion was itself
wrong (expected no session cookie on failed login; @fastify/session
issues an anonymous cookie on any response by design, that's normal).
Fixed to assert the property that actually matters: the cookie grants
no access. 9/9 tests green across 4 consecutive full-suite runs with
parallel workers, no flakiness.

E2E tests

Playwright tests that drive a real browser against the live deployment (https://monitor.jerodrigged.com by default) — not a local dev server or mocked backend. They exist specifically because curl-based verification missed real bugs that only show up with an actual browser (cookies, redirects, DOM interaction).

Setup

cd e2e
npm install
npx playwright install chromium
cp .env.example .env   # fill in LOCAL_PASSWORD and OIDC_PASSWORD
npm test

OIDC_USERNAME/OIDC_PASSWORD should be the dedicated playwright-test Authentik account (blueprint-provisioned on CT121, path users/service-accounts) — never a real personal login. See docs/oidc-setup.md.

Not wired into CI

These hit the live production dashboard and a live Authentik instance, and need credentials as secrets — deliberately not run automatically on every push. Run by hand after auth-related changes.

Bugs these caught on first write (all fixed, kept as regression coverage)

  1. Local logout silently failed. Frontend always sent Content-Type: application/json even for logout's bodyless POST; Fastify's default JSON parser rejects that combination (400). curl testing missed it — curl doesn't set that header without -d.
  2. OIDC login redirected to a LAN IP. OIDC_ISSUER_URL used Authentik's internal address; its discovery document echoes back whichever host you query it through, so that LAN IP ended up as the browser-facing authorization_endpoint.
  3. OIDC token exchange rejected with invalid_client. The callback handler hardcoded http:// when reconstructing the current URL (Fastify never sees HTTPS — it terminates upstream), which sent the wrong scheme as redirect_uri in the token exchange. Authentik's own event log said plainly "Invalid redirect URI used by provider"; the error surfaced to the app as a generic invalid_client.

None of these were caught by earlier curl-based verification — browser-driven auth flows (cookies, real redirect chains, a real IdP's login form) need a real browser.
