UAT is now executed by Shedward Scissorhands via the groombook-playwright
MCP server. Legacy scripted Playwright suites remain for CI regression
only. Added Section 2 documenting the MCP tools, how test cases map to
MCP calls, and the role of legacy CI tests.

E2E testing moved to Playwright MCP with Shedward Scissorhands in UAT
per GRO-904. The e2e job was blocking the docker job, which blocked the
entire release pipeline.

Even after nginx is listening on port 80, there can be a brief window
where the first Playwright requests hit still-warming router logic or
upstream connection pool setup, causing inconsistent E2E failures.
Now the readiness step:
1. Polls until both http://localhost:8080 and http://localhost:3000/health
return HTTP 200 (up to 60 attempts = 10 min max)
2. Once both are confirmed up, sleeps 30 additional seconds before
proceeding to E2E tests — a settling period for nginx and the Node
server to fully stabilize

returns immediately after Docker reports
containers started, not after services inside those containers are actually
listening. This causes Playwright to hit nginx before it's ready.
Now:
- Start containers with (no --wait)
- Poll http://localhost:8080 AND http://localhost:3000/health every 10s,
up to 30 attempts (5 minutes total)
- Only proceed to E2E tests once both are reachable

Previously web started immediately after the api container launched, not
after it was ready. Playwright tests then hit the web server before the
nginx process had fully started, causing connection refused errors.
Now:
- api has a 30s startup grace via start_period and 20 retries
- web waits for api to be healthy (not just started)
- both services verify readiness before dependent steps proceed
