# E2E Test Plan: Boards Tab

## Overview

The Boards tab provides community discussion boards with create, subscribe, post, react, and delete functionality. It appears in two contexts:

- **Profile view** (`public/views/profile/boards-tab.js`): End-user board management with "mine" and "browse" sub-tabs.
- **Admin view** (`public/views/admin/boards-tab.js`): Operator board overview with system board creation.
