// MISSION BRIEF

Your Mission

Half of all flaky UI tests are timing bugs. Playwright's answer is auto-waiting: every action runs a set of actionability checks and retries until the element is genuinely ready.

Know exactly what those checks are and you can delete every waitForTimeout in the repo. Guess, and you will reinvent flake with extra steps.

Speed bonus active.
