Testing

# Unit tests

# Update visual baselines
pnpm test:visual --update-snapshots

By default visual tests run on Chromium. To enable WebKit locally after installing its system dependencies:

PLAYWRIGHT_ENABLE_WEBKIT=1 pnpm test:visual

Notes

• pnpm lint currently runs TypeScript checking.
• Visual snapshots live under test/visual/theme-visual-regression.spec.ts-snapshots/.
• The repository has been cleaned up to remove the old React / TanStack / Radix frontend.
