+  Ultra-compressed communication mode. Cuts token usage ~75% by speaking like caveman
+  while keeping full technical accuracy. Supports intensity levels: lite, full (default), ultra,
+  wenyan-lite, wenyan-full, wenyan-ultra.
+  Use when user says "caveman mode", "talk like caveman", "use caveman", "less tokens",
+  "be brief", or invokes /caveman. Also auto-triggers when token efficiency is requested.
+---
+
+Respond terse like smart caveman. All technical substance stay. Only fluff die.
+
+Default: **full**. Switch: `/caveman lite|full|ultra`.
+
+## Rules
+
+Drop: articles (a/an/the), filler (just/really/basically/actually/simply), pleasantries (sure/certainly/of course/happy to), hedging. Fragments OK. Short synonyms (big not extensive, fix not "implement a solution for"). Technical terms exact. Code blocks unchanged. Errors quoted exact.
+
+Pattern: `[thing] [action] [reason]. [next step].`
+
+Not: "Sure! I'd be happy to help you with that. The issue you're experiencing is likely caused by..."
+Yes: "Bug in auth middleware. Token expiry check use `<` not `<=`. Fix:"
+
+## Intensity
+
+| Level | What change |
+|-------|------------|
+| **lite** | No filler/hedging. Keep articles + full sentences. Professional but tight |
+| **full** | Drop articles, fragments OK, short synonyms. Classic caveman |
+| **ultra** | Abbreviate (DB/auth/config/req/res/fn/impl), strip conjunctions, arrows for causality (X → Y), one word when one word enough |
+| **wenyan-lite** | Semi-classical. Drop filler/hedging but keep grammar structure, classical register |
+| **wenyan-full** | Maximum classical terseness. Fully 文言文. 80-90% character reduction. Classical sentence patterns, verbs precede objects, subjects often omitted, classical particles (之/乃/為/其) |
+| **wenyan-ultra** | Extreme abbreviation while keeping classical Chinese feel. Maximum compression, ultra terse |
+
+Example — "Why React component re-render?"
+- lite: "Your component re-renders because you create a new object reference each render. Wrap it in `useMemo`."
+- full: "New object ref each render. Inline object prop = new ref = re-render. Wrap in `useMemo`."
+- ultra: "Inline obj prop → new ref → re-render. `useMemo`."
+- wenyan-lite: "組件頻重繪，以每繪新生對象參照故。以 useMemo 包之。"
+- wenyan-full: "物出新參照，致重繪。useMemo .Wrap之。"
+- wenyan-ultra: "新參照→重繪。useMemo Wrap。"
+
+Example — "Explain database connection pooling."
+- lite: "Connection pooling reuses open connections instead of creating new ones per request. Avoids repeated handshake overhead."
+- full: "Pool reuse open DB connections. No new connection per request. Skip handshake overhead."
+- ultra: "Pool = reuse DB conn. Skip handshake → fast under load."
+- wenyan-full: "池reuse open connection。不每req新開。skip handshake overhead。"
+- wenyan-ultra: "池reuse conn。skip handshake → fast。"
+
+## Auto-Clarity
+
+Drop caveman for: security warnings, irreversible action confirmations, multi-step sequences where fragment order risks misread, user confused. Resume caveman after clear part done.
+
+Example — destructive op:
+> **Warning:** This will permanently delete all rows in the `users` table and cannot be undone.
+> ```sql
+> DROP TABLE users;
+> ```
+> Caveman resume. Verify backup exist first.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Code/commits/PRs: write normal. "stop caveman" or "normal mode": revert. Level persist until changed or session end.

+
+# Playwright E2E Testing — MetoYou
+
+## Step 1 — Check Project Setup
+
+Before writing any test, verify the Playwright infrastructure exists:
+
+```
+e2e/                          # Test root (lives at repo root)
+├── playwright.config.ts      # Config
+├── fixtures/                 # Custom fixtures (multi-client, auth, etc.)
+├── pages/                    # Page Object Models
+├── tests/                    # Test specs
+│   ├── auth/
+│   ├── chat/
+│   ├── voice/
+│   └── settings/
+└── helpers/                  # Shared utilities (WebRTC introspection, etc.)
+```
+
+If missing, scaffold it. See [reference/project-setup.md](./reference/project-setup.md).
+
+## Step 2 — Identify Test Category
+
+| Request                         | Category         | Key Patterns                                   |
+| ------------------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| Login, register, invite         | **Auth**         | Single browser context, form interaction       |
+| Send message, rooms, chat UI    | **Chat**         | May need 2 clients for real-time sync          |
+| Voice call, mute, deafen, audio | **Voice/WebRTC** | Multi-client, fake media, WebRTC introspection |
+| Camera, video tiles             | **Video**        | Multi-client, fake video, stream validation    |
+| Screen share                    | **Screen Share** | Multi-client, display media mocking            |
+| Settings, themes                | **Settings**     | Single client, preference persistence          |
+
+For **Voice/WebRTC** and **Multi-client** tests, read [reference/multi-client-webrtc.md](./reference/multi-client-webrtc.md) immediately.
+
+## Step 3 — Core Conventions
+
+### Config Essentials
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/playwright.config.ts
+import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  testDir: './tests',
+  timeout: 60_000, // WebRTC needs longer timeouts
+  expect: { timeout: 10_000 },
+  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
+  workers: 1, // Sequential — shared server state
+  reporter: [['html'], ['list']],
+  use: {
+    baseURL: 'http://localhost:4200',
+    trace: 'on-first-retry',
+    screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
+    video: 'on-first-retry',
+    permissions: ['microphone', 'camera']
+  },
+  projects: [
+    {
+      name: 'chromium',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        launchOptions: {
+          args: [
+            '--use-fake-device-for-media-stream',
+            '--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream'
+            // Feed a specific audio file as fake mic input:
+            // '--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture=/path/to/audio.wav',
+          ]
+        }
+      }
+    }
+  ],
+  webServer: [
+    {
+      command: 'cd server && npm run dev',
+      port: 3001,
+      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+      timeout: 30_000
+    },
+    {
+      command: 'cd toju-app && npx ng serve',
+      port: 4200,
+      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+      timeout: 60_000
+    }
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+### Selector Strategy
+
+Use in this order — stop at the first that works:
+
+1. `getByRole('button', { name: 'Mute' })` — accessible, resilient
+2. `getByLabel('Email')` — form fields
+3. `getByPlaceholder('Enter email')` — when label missing
+4. `getByText('Welcome')` — visible text
+5. `getByTestId('voice-controls')` — last resort, needs `data-testid`
+6. `locator('app-voice-controls')` — Angular component selectors (acceptable in this project)
+
+Angular component selectors (`app-*`) are stable in this project and acceptable as locators when semantic selectors are not feasible.
+
+### Assertions — Always Web-First
+
+```typescript
+// ✅ Auto-retries until timeout
+await expect(page.getByRole('heading')).toBeVisible();
+await expect(page.getByRole('alert')).toHaveText('Saved');
+await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/room\//);
+
+// ❌ No auto-retry — races with DOM
+const text = await page.textContent('.msg');
+expect(text).toBe('Saved');
+```
+
+### Anti-Patterns
+
+| ❌ Don't                       | ✅ Do                                               | Why                       |
+| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| `page.waitForTimeout(3000)`    | `await expect(locator).toBeVisible()`               | Hard waits are flaky      |
+| `expect(await el.isVisible())` | `await expect(el).toBeVisible()`                    | No auto-retry             |
+| `page.$('.btn')`               | `page.getByRole('button')`                          | Fragile selector          |
+| `page.click('.submit')`        | `page.getByRole('button', {name:'Submit'}).click()` | Not accessible            |
+| Shared state between tests     | `test.beforeEach` for setup                         | Tests must be independent |
+| `try/catch` around assertions  | Let Playwright handle retries                       | Swallows real failures    |
+
+### Test Structure
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/base';
+
+test.describe('Feature Name', () => {
+  test('should do specific thing', async ({ page }) => {
+    await test.step('Navigate to page', async () => {
+      await page.goto('/login');
+    });
+
+    await test.step('Fill form', async () => {
+      await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('test@example.com');
+    });
+
+    await test.step('Verify result', async () => {
+      await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/search/);
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+Use `test.step()` for readability in complex flows.
+
+## Step 4 — Page Object Models
+
+Use POM for any test file with more than 2 tests. Match the app's route structure:
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/pages/login.page.ts
+import { type Page, type Locator } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export class LoginPage {
+  readonly emailInput: Locator;
+  readonly passwordInput: Locator;
+  readonly submitButton: Locator;
+
+  constructor(private page: Page) {
+    this.emailInput = page.getByLabel('Email');
+    this.passwordInput = page.getByLabel('Password');
+    this.submitButton = page.getByRole('button', { name: /sign in|log in/i });
+  }
+
+  async goto() {
+    await this.page.goto('/login');
+  }
+
+  async login(email: string, password: string) {
+    await this.emailInput.fill(email);
+    await this.passwordInput.fill(password);
+    await this.submitButton.click();
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key pages to model (match `app.routes.ts`):**
+
+| Route               | Page Object        | Component               |
+| ------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| `/login`            | `LoginPage`        | `LoginComponent`        |
+| `/register`         | `RegisterPage`     | `RegisterComponent`     |
+| `/search`           | `ServerSearchPage` | `ServerSearchComponent` |
+| `/room/:roomId`     | `ChatRoomPage`     | `ChatRoomComponent`     |
+| `/settings`         | `SettingsPage`     | `SettingsComponent`     |
+| `/invite/:inviteId` | `InvitePage`       | `InviteComponent`       |
+
+## Step 5 — MetoYou App Architecture Context
+
+The agent writing tests MUST understand these domain boundaries:
+
+### Voice/WebRTC Stack
+
+| Layer                   | What It Does                                          | Test Relevance                   |
+| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| `VoiceConnectionFacade` | High-level voice API (connect/disconnect/mute/deafen) | State signals to assert against  |
+| `VoiceSessionFacade`    | Session lifecycle, workspace layout                   | UI mode changes                  |
+| `VoiceActivityService`  | Speaking detection (RMS threshold 0.015)              | `isSpeaking()` signal validation |
+| `VoicePlaybackService`  | Per-peer GainNode (0–200% volume)                     | Volume level assertions          |
+| `PeerConnectionManager` | RTCPeerConnection lifecycle                           | Connection state introspection   |
+| `MediaManager`          | getUserMedia, mute, gain chain                        | Track state validation           |
+| `SignalingManager`      | WebSocket per signal URL                              | Connection establishment         |
+
+### Voice UI Components
+
+| Component                           | Selector                          | Contains                                    |
+| ----------------------------------- | --------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
+| `VoiceWorkspaceComponent`           | `app-voice-workspace`             | Stream tiles, layout                        |
+| `VoiceControlsComponent`            | `app-voice-controls`              | Mute, camera, screen share, hang-up buttons |
+| `FloatingVoiceControlsComponent`    | `app-floating-voice-controls`     | Floating variant of controls                |
+| `VoiceWorkspaceStreamTileComponent` | `app-voice-workspace-stream-tile` | Per-peer audio/video tile                   |
+
+### Voice UI Icons (Lucide)
+
+| Icon                                 | Meaning              |
+| ------------------------------------ | -------------------- |
+| `lucideMic` / `lucideMicOff`         | Mute toggle          |
+| `lucideVideo` / `lucideVideoOff`     | Camera toggle        |
+| `lucideMonitor` / `lucideMonitorOff` | Screen share toggle  |
+| `lucidePhoneOff`                     | Hang up / disconnect |
+| `lucideHeadphones`                   | Deafen state         |
+| `lucideVolume2` / `lucideVolumeX`    | Volume indicator     |
+
+### Server & Signaling
+
+- **Signaling server**: Port `3001` (HTTP by default, HTTPS if `SSL=true`)
+- **Angular dev server**: Port `4200`
+- **WebSocket signaling**: Upgrades on same port as server
+- **Protocol**: `identify` → `server_users` → SDP offer/answer → ICE candidates
+- **PING/PONG**: Every 30s, 45s timeout
+
+## Step 6 — Validation Workflow
+
+After generating any test:
+
+```
+1. npx playwright install --with-deps chromium    # First time only
+2. npx playwright test --project=chromium          # Run tests
+3. npx playwright test --ui                        # Interactive debug
+4. npx playwright show-report                      # HTML report
+```
+
+If the test involves WebRTC, always verify:
+
+- Fake media flags are set in config
+- Timeouts are sufficient (60s+ for connection establishment)
+- `workers: 1` if tests share server state
+- Browser permissions granted for microphone/camera
+
+## Quick Reference — Commands
+
+```bash
+npx playwright test                             # Run all
+npx playwright test --ui                        # Interactive UI
+npx playwright test --debug                     # Step-through debugger
+npx playwright test tests/voice/               # Voice tests only
+npx playwright test --project=chromium          # Single browser
+npx playwright test -g "voice connects"         # By test name
+npx playwright show-report                      # HTML report
+npx playwright codegen http://localhost:4200    # Record test

+# Multi-Client WebRTC Testing
+
+This reference covers the hardest E2E testing scenario in MetoYou: verifying that voice/video connections actually work between multiple clients.
+
+## Core Concept: Multiple Browser Contexts
+
+Playwright can create multiple **independent** browser contexts within a single test. Each context is an isolated session (separate cookies, storage, WebRTC state). This is how we simulate multiple users.
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect, chromium } from '@playwright/test';
+
+test('two users can voice chat', async () => {
+  const browser = await chromium.launch({
+    args: [
+      '--use-fake-device-for-media-stream',
+      '--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream',
+      '--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture=e2e/fixtures/test-tone-440hz.wav',
+    ],
+  });
+
+  const contextA = await browser.newContext({
+    permissions: ['microphone', 'camera'],
+  });
+  const contextB = await browser.newContext({
+    permissions: ['microphone', 'camera'],
+  });
+
+  const alice = await contextA.newPage();
+  const bob = await contextB.newPage();
+
+  // ... test logic with alice and bob ...
+
+  await contextA.close();
+  await contextB.close();
+  await browser.close();
+});
+```
+
+## Custom Fixture: Multi-Client
+
+Create a reusable fixture for multi-client tests:
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/fixtures/multi-client.ts
+import { test as base, chromium, type Page, type BrowserContext, type Browser } from '@playwright/test';
+
+type Client = {
+  page: Page;
+  context: BrowserContext;
+};
+
+type MultiClientFixture = {
+  createClient: () => Promise<Client>;
+  browser: Browser;
+};
+
+export const test = base.extend<MultiClientFixture>({
+  browser: async ({}, use) => {
+    const browser = await chromium.launch({
+      args: [
+        '--use-fake-device-for-media-stream',
+        '--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream',
+      ],
+    });
+    await use(browser);
+    await browser.close();
+  },
+
+  createClient: async ({ browser }, use) => {
+    const clients: Client[] = [];
+
+    const factory = async (): Promise<Client> => {
+      const context = await browser.newContext({
+        permissions: ['microphone', 'camera'],
+        baseURL: 'http://localhost:4200',
+      });
+      const page = await context.newPage();
+      clients.push({ page, context });
+      return { page, context };
+    };
+
+    await use(factory);
+
+    // Cleanup
+    for (const client of clients) {
+      await client.context.close();
+    }
+  },
+});
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+**Usage:**
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/multi-client';
+
+test('voice call connects between two users', async ({ createClient }) => {
+  const alice = await createClient();
+  const bob = await createClient();
+
+  // Login both users
+  await alice.page.goto('/login');
+  await bob.page.goto('/login');
+  // ... login flows ...
+});
+```
+
+## Fake Media Devices
+
+Chromium's fake device flags are essential for headless WebRTC testing:
+
+| Flag | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `--use-fake-device-for-media-stream` | Provides fake mic/camera devices (no real hardware needed) |
+| `--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream` | Auto-grants device permission prompts |
+| `--use-file-for-fake-audio-capture=<path>` | Feeds a WAV/WebM file as fake mic input |
+| `--use-file-for-fake-video-capture=<path>` | Feeds a Y4M/MJPEG file as fake video input |
+
+### Test Audio File
+
+Create a 440Hz sine wave test tone for audio verification:
+
+```bash
+# Generate a 5-second 440Hz mono WAV test tone
+ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=440:duration=5" -ar 48000 -ac 1 e2e/fixtures/test-tone-440hz.wav
+```
+
+Or use Playwright's built-in fake device which generates a test pattern (beep) automatically when `--use-fake-device-for-media-stream` is set without specifying a file.
+
+## WebRTC Connection Introspection
+
+### Checking RTCPeerConnection State
+
+Inject JavaScript to inspect WebRTC internals via `page.evaluate()`:
+
+```typescript
+// e2e/helpers/webrtc-helpers.ts
+
+/**
+ * Get all RTCPeerConnection instances and their states.
+ * Requires the app to expose connections (or use a monkey-patch approach).
+ */
+export async function getPeerConnectionStates(page: Page): Promise<Array<{
+  connectionState: string;
+  iceConnectionState: string;
+  signalingState: string;
+}>> {
+  return page.evaluate(() => {
+    // Approach 1: Use chrome://webrtc-internals equivalent
+    // Approach 2: Monkey-patch RTCPeerConnection (install before app loads)
+    // Approach 3: Expose from app (preferred for this project)
+
+    // MetoYou exposes via Angular — access the injector
+    const appRef = (window as any).ng?.getComponent(document.querySelector('app-root'));
+    // This needs adaptation based on actual exposure method
+
+    // Fallback: Use performance.getEntriesByType or WebRTC stats
+    return [];
+  });
+}
+
+/**
+ * Wait for at least one peer connection to reach 'connected' state.
+ */

+
+### RTCPeerConnection Monkey-Patch
+
+To track all peer connections created by the app, inject a monkey-patch **before** navigation:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Install RTCPeerConnection tracking on a page BEFORE navigating.
+ * Call this immediately after page creation, before any goto().
+ */
+export async function installWebRTCTracking(page: Page): Promise<void> {

+    const connections: RTCPeerConnection[] = [];
+    (window as any).__rtcConnections = connections;
+
+    const OriginalRTCPeerConnection = window.RTCPeerConnection;
+    (window as any).RTCPeerConnection = function (...args: any[]) {
+      const pc = new OriginalRTCPeerConnection(...args);
+      connections.push(pc);
+
+      pc.addEventListener('connectionstatechange', () => {
+        (window as any).__lastRtcState = pc.connectionState;
+      });
+
+      // Track remote streams
+      pc.addEventListener('track', (event) => {
+        if (!((window as any).__rtcRemoteTracks)) {
+          (window as any).__rtcRemoteTracks = [];
+        }
+        (window as any).__rtcRemoteTracks.push({
+          kind: event.track.kind,
+          id: event.track.id,
+          readyState: event.track.readyState,
+        });
+      });
+
+      return pc;
+    } as any;
+
+    // Preserve prototype chain
+    (window as any).RTCPeerConnection.prototype = OriginalRTCPeerConnection.prototype;
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Voice Call Test Pattern — Full Example
+
+This is the canonical pattern for testing that voice actually connects between two clients:
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/multi-client';
+import { installWebRTCTracking, getAudioStats } from '../helpers/webrtc-helpers';
+
+test.describe('Voice Call', () => {
+  test('two users connect voice and exchange audio', async ({ createClient }) => {
+    const alice = await createClient();
+    const bob = await createClient();
+
+    // Install WebRTC tracking BEFORE navigation
+    await installWebRTCTracking(alice.page);
+    await installWebRTCTracking(bob.page);
+
+    await test.step('Both users log in', async () => {
+      // Login Alice
+      await alice.page.goto('/login');
+      await alice.page.getByLabel('Email').fill('alice@test.com');
+      await alice.page.getByLabel('Password').fill('password123');
+      await alice.page.getByRole('button', { name: /sign in/i }).click();
+      await expect(alice.page).toHaveURL(/\/search/);
+
+      // Login Bob
+      await bob.page.goto('/login');
+      await bob.page.getByLabel('Email').fill('bob@test.com');
+      await bob.page.getByLabel('Password').fill('password123');
+      await bob.page.getByRole('button', { name: /sign in/i }).click();
+      await expect(bob.page).toHaveURL(/\/search/);
+    });
+

+    });
+
+    await test.step('Alice starts voice', async () => {

+      await expect(bob.page.locator('app-voice-workspace')).toBeVisible();
+    });
+
+    await test.step('WebRTC connection establishes', async () => {
+      // Wait for peer connection to reach 'connected' on both sides
+      await alice.page.waitForFunction(
+        () => (window as any).__rtcConnections?.some(
+          (pc: any) => pc.connectionState === 'connected'
+        ),
+        { timeout: 30_000 }
+      );
+      await bob.page.waitForFunction(
+        () => (window as any).__rtcConnections?.some(

+        ),
+        { timeout: 30_000 }
+      );
+    });
+
+    await test.step('Audio is flowing in both directions', async () => {
+      // Wait a moment for audio stats to accumulate
+      await alice.page.waitForTimeout(3_000); // Acceptable here: waiting for stats accumulation
+
+      // Check Alice is sending audio
+      const aliceStats = await getAudioStats(alice.page);
+      expect(aliceStats.outbound).not.toBeNull();
+      expect(aliceStats.outbound!.bytesSent).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+      expect(aliceStats.outbound!.packetsSent).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+      // Check Bob is sending audio
+      const bobStats = await getAudioStats(bob.page);
+      expect(bobStats.outbound).not.toBeNull();
+      expect(bobStats.outbound!.bytesSent).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+      // Check Alice receives Bob's audio
+      expect(aliceStats.inbound).not.toBeNull();
+      expect(aliceStats.inbound!.bytesReceived).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+
+      // Check Bob receives Alice's audio
+      expect(bobStats.inbound).not.toBeNull();
+      expect(bobStats.inbound!.bytesReceived).toBeGreaterThan(0);
+    });
+
+    await test.step('Voice UI states are correct', async () => {

+
+      // Verify no audio being sent from Alice after mute
+      const preStats = await getAudioStats(alice.page);
+      await alice.page.waitForTimeout(2_000);
+      const postStats = await getAudioStats(alice.page);
+
+      // Bytes sent should not increase (or increase minimally — comfort noise)
+      // The exact assertion depends on whether mute stops the track or sends silence
+    });
+
+    await test.step('Alice hangs up', async () => {
+      await alice.page.getByRole('button', { name: /hang up|disconnect|leave/i }).click();

+      await expect(bob.page.locator('app-voice-workspace-stream-tile')).toHaveCount(1);
+    });
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Verifying Audio Is Actually Received
+
+Beyond checking `bytesReceived > 0`, you can verify actual audio energy:
+
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Check if audio energy is present on a received stream.
+ * Uses Web Audio AnalyserNode — same approach as MetoYou's VoiceActivityService.
+ */
+export async function hasAudioEnergy(page: Page): Promise<boolean> {
+  return page.evaluate(async () => {
+    const connections = (window as any).__rtcConnections as RTCPeerConnection[];
+    if (!connections?.length) return false;
+
+    for (const pc of connections) {
+      const receivers = pc.getReceivers();
+      for (const receiver of receivers) {
+        if (receiver.track.kind !== 'audio' || receiver.track.readyState !== 'live') continue;
+
+        const audioCtx = new AudioContext();
+        const source = audioCtx.createMediaStreamSource(new MediaStream([receiver.track]));
+        const analyser = audioCtx.createAnalyser();
+        analyser.fftSize = 256;
+        source.connect(analyser);
+
+        // Sample over 500ms
+        const dataArray = new Float32Array(analyser.frequencyBinCount);
+        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 500));
+        analyser.getFloatTimeDomainData(dataArray);
+
+        // Calculate RMS (same as VoiceActivityService)
+        let sum = 0;
+        for (const sample of dataArray) {
+          sum += sample * sample;
+        }
+        const rms = Math.sqrt(sum / dataArray.length);
+
+        audioCtx.close();
+
+        // MetoYou uses threshold 0.015 — use lower threshold for test
+        if (rms > 0.005) return true;
+      }
+    }
+    return false;
+  });
+}
+```
+
+## Testing Speaker/Playback Volume
+
+MetoYou uses per-peer GainNode chains (0–200%). To verify:
+
+```typescript
+await test.step('Bob adjusts Alice volume to 50%', async () => {
+  // Interact with volume slider in stream tile
+  // (adapt selector to actual volume control UI)
+  const volumeSlider = bob.page.locator('app-voice-workspace-stream-tile')
+    .filter({ hasText: 'Alice' })
+    .getByRole('slider');
+
+  await volumeSlider.fill('50');
+
+  // Verify the gain was set (check via WebRTC or app state)
+  const gain = await bob.page.evaluate(() => {
+    // Access VoicePlaybackService through Angular DI if exposed
+    // Or check audio element volume
+    const audioElements = document.querySelectorAll('audio');
+    return audioElements[0]?.volume;
+  });
+});
+```
+
+## Testing Screen Share
+
+Screen share requires `getDisplayMedia()` which cannot be auto-granted. Options:
+
+1. **Mock at the browser level** — use `page.addInitScript()` to replace `getDisplayMedia` with a fake stream
+2. **Use Chromium flags** — `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source=Entire screen`
+
+```typescript
+// Mock getDisplayMedia before navigation
+await page.addInitScript(() => {
+  navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia = async () => {
+    // Create a simple canvas stream as fake screen share
+    const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
+    canvas.width = 1280;
+    canvas.height = 720;
+    const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d')!;
+    ctx.fillStyle = '#4a90d9';
+    ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 1280, 720);
+    ctx.fillStyle = 'white';
+    ctx.font = '48px sans-serif';
+    ctx.fillText('Fake Screen Share', 400, 380);
+    return canvas.captureStream(30);
+  };
+});
+```
+
+## Debugging Tips
+
+### Trace Viewer
+When a WebRTC test fails, the trace captures network requests, console logs, and screenshots:
+```bash
+npx playwright show-trace test-results/trace.zip
+```
+
+### Console Log Forwarding
+Forward browser console to Node for real-time debugging:
+```typescript
+page.on('console', msg => console.log(`[${name}]`, msg.text()));
+page.on('pageerror', err => console.error(`[${name}] PAGE ERROR:`, err.message));
+```
+
+### WebRTC Internals
+Chromium exposes WebRTC stats at `chrome://webrtc-internals/`. In Playwright, access the same data via:
+```typescript
+const stats = await page.evaluate(async () => {
+  const pcs = (window as any).__rtcConnections;
+  return Promise.all(pcs.map(async (pc: any) => {
+    const stats = await pc.getStats();
+    const result: any[] = [];
+    stats.forEach((report: any) => result.push(report));
+    return result;
+  }));
+});
+```
+
+## Timeout Guidelines
+
+| Operation | Recommended Timeout |
+|-----------|-------------------|
+| Page navigation | 10s (default) |
+| Login flow | 15s |
+| WebRTC connection establishment | 30s |
+| ICE negotiation (TURN fallback) | 45s |
+| Audio stats accumulation | 3–5s after connection |
+| Full voice test (end-to-end) | 90s |
+| Screen share setup | 15s |
+
+## Parallelism Warning
+
+WebRTC multi-client tests **must** run with `workers: 1` (sequential) because:
+- All clients share the same signaling server instance
+- Server state (rooms, users) is mutable
+- ICE candidates reference `localhost` — port conflicts possible with parallel launches
+
+If you need parallelism, use separate server instances with different ports per worker.

+# Project Setup — Playwright E2E for MetoYou
+
+Before creating any tests or changing them read AGENTS.md for a understanding how the application works.
+
+## First-Time Scaffold
+
+### 1. Install Dependencies
+
+From the **repository root**:
+
+```bash
+npm install -D @playwright/test
+npx playwright install --with-deps chromium
+```
+
+Only Chromium is needed — WebRTC fake media flags are Chromium-only. Add Firefox/WebKit later if needed for non-WebRTC tests.
+
+### 2. Create Directory Structure
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p e2e/{tests/{auth,chat,voice,settings},fixtures,pages,helpers}
+```
+
+### 3. Create Config
+
+Create `e2e/playwright.config.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { defineConfig, devices } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  testDir: './tests',
+  timeout: 60_000,
+  expect: { timeout: 10_000 },
+  retries: process.env.CI ? 2 : 0,
+  workers: 1,
+  reporter: [['html', { outputFolder: '../test-results/html-report' }], ['list']],
+  outputDir: '../test-results/artifacts',
+  use: {
+    baseURL: 'http://localhost:4200',
+    trace: 'on-first-retry',
+    screenshot: 'only-on-failure',
+    video: 'on-first-retry',
+    permissions: ['microphone', 'camera'],
+  },
+  projects: [
+    {
+      name: 'chromium',
+      use: {
+        ...devices['Desktop Chrome'],
+        launchOptions: {
+          args: [
+            '--use-fake-device-for-media-stream',
+            '--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream',
+          ],
+        },
+      },
+    },
+  ],
+  webServer: [
+    {
+      command: 'cd ../server && npm run dev',
+      port: 3001,
+      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+      timeout: 30_000,
+    },
+    {
+      command: 'cd ../toju-app && npx ng serve',
+      port: 4200,
+      reuseExistingServer: !process.env.CI,
+      timeout: 60_000,
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+### 4. Create Base Fixture
+
+Create `e2e/fixtures/base.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+import { test as base } from '@playwright/test';
+
+export const test = base.extend({
+  // Add common fixtures here as the test suite grows
+  // Examples: authenticated page, test data seeding, etc.
+});
+
+export { expect } from '@playwright/test';
+```
+
+### 5. Create Multi-Client Fixture
+
+Create `e2e/fixtures/multi-client.ts` — see [multi-client-webrtc.md](./multi-client-webrtc.md) for the full fixture code.
+
+### 6. Create WebRTC Helpers
+
+Create `e2e/helpers/webrtc-helpers.ts` — see [multi-client-webrtc.md](./multi-client-webrtc.md) for helper functions.
+
+### 7. Create Isolated Test Server Launcher
+
+The app requires a signal server. Tests use an isolated instance with its own temporary database so test data never pollutes the dev environment.
+
+Create `e2e/helpers/start-test-server.js` — a Node.js script that:
+1. Creates a temp directory under the OS tmpdir
+2. Writes a `data/variables.json` with `serverPort: 3099`, `serverProtocol: "http"`
+3. Spawns `ts-node server/src/index.ts` with `cwd` set to the temp dir
+4. Cleans up the temp dir on exit
+
+The server's `getRuntimeBaseDir()` returns `process.cwd()`, so setting cwd to the temp dir makes the database go to `<tmpdir>/data/metoyou.sqlite`. Module resolution (`require`/`import`) uses `__dirname`, so server source and `node_modules` resolve correctly from the real `server/` directory.
+
+Playwright's `webServer` config calls this script and waits for port 3099 to be ready.
+
+### 8. Create Test Endpoint Seeder
+
+The Angular app reads signal endpoints from `localStorage['metoyou_server_endpoints']`. By default it falls back to production URLs in `environment.ts`. For tests, seed localStorage with a single endpoint pointing at `http://localhost:3099`.
+
+Create `e2e/helpers/seed-test-endpoint.ts` — called automatically by the multi-client fixture after creating each browser context. The flow is:
+1. Navigate to `/` (establishes the origin for localStorage)
+2. Set `metoyou_server_endpoints` to `[{ id: 'e2e-test-server', url: 'http://localhost:3099', ... }]`
+3. Set `metoyou_removed_default_server_keys` to suppress production endpoints
+4. Reload the page so the app picks up the test endpoint
+
+### 9. Add npm Scripts
+
+Add to root `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test:e2e": "cd e2e && npx playwright test",
+    "test:e2e:ui": "cd e2e && npx playwright test --ui",
+    "test:e2e:debug": "cd e2e && npx playwright test --debug",
+    "test:e2e:report": "cd e2e && npx playwright show-report ../test-results/html-report"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### 8. Update .gitignore
+
+Add to `.gitignore`:
+
+```
+# Playwright
+test-results/
+e2e/playwright-report/
+```
+
+### 9. Generate Test Audio Fixture (Optional)
+
+For voice tests with controlled audio input:
+
+```bash
+# Requires ffmpeg
+ffmpeg -f lavfi -i "sine=frequency=440:duration=5" -ar 48000 -ac 1 e2e/fixtures/test-tone-440hz.wav
+```
+
+## Existing Dev Stack Integration
+
+The tests assume the standard MetoYou dev stack:
+
+- **Signaling server** at `http://localhost:3001` (via `server/npm run dev`)
+- **Angular dev server** at `http://localhost:4200` (via `toju-app/npx ng serve`)
+
+The `webServer` config in `playwright.config.ts` starts these automatically if not already running. When running `npm run dev` (full Electron stack) separately, tests will reuse the existing servers.
+
+## Test Data Requirements
+
+E2E tests need user accounts to log in with. Options:
+
+1. **Seed via API** — create users in `test.beforeAll` via the server REST API
+2. **Pre-seeded database** — maintain a test SQLite database with known accounts
+3. **Register in test** — use the `/register` flow as a setup step (slower but self-contained)
+
+Recommended: Option 3 for initial setup, migrate to Option 1 as the test suite grows.
