Modernize the Tier-1 stack to the three-tier app and add browser coverage for the §22.4a metadata UI, closing the E2E gap deferred across SLICE-3/4/5: - seed-gitea.sh: create a REGISTRY_REPO with projects.yaml + a faceted named collection (.collection.yaml fields: priority enum + tags) seeded with three metadata-bearing entries; register content+registry webhooks; self-guarding (skip if a prior token still works) so a dependency-triggered re-run can't remint and invalidate the backend's token. - .env.tier1: REGISTRY_REPO/DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID; disable OTC cooldown + lift the per-IP auth limiter for the single-IP test runner. - docker-compose: pin backend image; backend-seed inserts a granted owner the OTC path can sign in as (write paths need contributor+). - Makefile: two-phase tier1-up (seed to completion, then create backend so it reads the populated token env); robust down; e2e-fresh = down+up+e2e (the canonical run, since the edit/bulk specs mutate the seeded corpus). - metadata.spec.js: SLICE-3 faceted filter (anon), SLICE-4 edit panel (owner), SLICE-5 bulk bar (owner). 4 passed against a fresh stack.

Test harness (handbook §10.3 two-tier testing)
One environment-agnostic suite, two targets.
Tier 1 — local Docker (every PR)
make e2e-install # one-time: install Playwright + chromium (cold checkout)
make tier1-up # build + start: gitea(seeded) + backend + web(nginx) + mailpit
make e2e # run Playwright against http://localhost:8080
make fe-unit # run Vitest frontend unit tests
make tier1-down # stop + wipe volumes
- App (SPA + API): http://localhost:8080
- Mailpit UI / API: http://localhost:8025
- Gitea (disposable): http://localhost:3001
The stack is hermetic and disposable — fresh SQLite + fresh seeded Gitea each
tier1-up. e2e signs in via the email OTC flow, reading the code back from
Mailpit, so no real OAuth provider is needed.
CI note: the backend enforces a per-IP OTC request limiter (5 requests /
300s, backend/app/ratelimit.py). A single make e2e run uses exactly one OTC
request, so the normal "fresh tier1-up then one e2e" flow is well clear of
it. Do not retry make e2e more than ~4 times in a 5-minute window against the
same running stack, or the 6th OTC request will 429. Restarting the backend
container (or tier1-down/tier1-up) resets the in-process limiter. Note:
this is distinct from the per-email 60s OTC cooldown (OTC_REQUEST_COOLDOWN_SECONDS,
backend/app/otc.py); the smoke spec handles that separately by using a unique
email address per run.
Tier 2 — PPE (deploy gate)
The SAME suite, pointed at the PPE instance (once rfc-app-ppe.<base> is stood
up via flotilla — see the engineering handbook §10.1/§10.3):
cd e2e && BASE_URL=https://rfc-app-ppe.<base> MAILSINK_URL=<ppe-mailpit-api> npm run e2e
PPE provides the real nginx/systemd/SQLite topology + its own isolated Gitea + always-pass Turnstile keys. Standing up the PPE VM is an operator task, not part of this repo.
