# T-970: 5 initial Playwright regression tests — terminal, inception, tasks, fabric, search (T-968 Phase 2)

## Context

T-968 Phase 2. With T-969 infrastructure in place (conftest.py, test_smoke.py, fw test playwright), write 5 additional Playwright test files covering key Watchtower features. These become permanent regression guards.

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] `tests/playwright/test_tasks.py` — task list (3 tests), task detail (2 tests)
- [x] `tests/playwright/test_inception.py` — inception list (3 tests), inception detail (3 tests)
- [x] `tests/playwright/test_fabric.py` — fabric overview (3 tests), component detail (2 tests), graph (1 test)
- [x] `tests/playwright/test_terminal.py` — terminal page (7 tests: container, tabs, buttons, status, xterm)
- [x] `tests/playwright/test_review.py` — approvals (2 tests), review page (2 tests)
- [x] All tests pass: `fw test playwright` — 40/40 passed in 77s
- [x] Verification commands pass

## Verification

test -f tests/playwright/test_tasks.py
test -f tests/playwright/test_inception.py
test -f tests/playwright/test_fabric.py
test -f tests/playwright/test_terminal.py
test -f tests/playwright/test_review.py
python3 -m pytest tests/playwright/ --co -q 2>/dev/null | tail -1
