Blocking #1 — gateway-connecting-overlay.tsx reduced-motion regression:
the top `if (reduce) setPhase('gone')` fired unconditionally on mount
whenever reduce-motion was on, so every OS reduced-motion user lost the
CONNECTING overlay during cold boot entirely (jumped to 'gone' before the
gateway was even open). The intent was to skip the exit *choreography*,
not to skip showing the overlay. Removed the unconditional top block and
the redundant nested preview block; kept only the third branch
(`gatewayState === 'open' && shownRef.current` → `reduce ? 'gone' :
'text-out'`) which correctly gates the short-circuit on connect. Also
fixed `if(reduce)` missing-space, 6-space misindent, and the same 3-line
comment pasted three times.
Nit #1 — tsconfig excludes e2e, so specs were never typechecked in CI.
Added tsconfig.e2e.json (extends base, includes e2e/ + playwright.config.ts,
adds @playwright/test types) and wired it into the typecheck script. This
surfaced three latent type errors that are fixed in the same commit:
- fix-electron-tracing.ts: `app._context` and `electron._playwright` are
private APIs — added `as any` on the access before the existing cast.
- playwright.config.ts: `reducedMotion: 'reduce'` directly under `use:`
is not a valid UseOptions property in playwright 1.58; it's a
BrowserContextOption accessed via `contextOptions: { reducedMotion:
'reduce' }`. The old form was silently ignored at runtime, so
reduced-motion emulation wasn't actually active — screenshots could
catch overlays mid-fade (exactly what the comment warned about).
Nit #2 — fix-electron-tracing.ts reaches into Playwright internals
(_playwright, _allContexts, _context) with no public contract. Added a
header comment calling out the `@playwright/test` exact pin (=1.58.2) so a
future bump knows to re-verify the private symbols still exist.
Nit #3 — main.ts TEST_WORKER_INDEX block had stray 6-space indentation.
Verified: tsc -p . && tsconfig.electron && tsconfig.e2e → 0 errors;
vitest boot-failure-overlay (3/3) + boot-failure-reauth (21/21) pass;
npm run build clean; playwright e2e/boot-failure.spec.ts 2/2 pass.
