```

## Features Implemented

### Locator Strategies (8)
1. **Test ID** (`getByTestId`) - Most reliable
2. **ARIA Role** (`getByRole`) - Accessibility-first
3. **Label** (`getByLabel`) - Form inputs
4. **Placeholder** (`getByPlaceholder`) - Input fields
5. **Alt Text** (`getByAltText`) - Images
6. **Title** (`getByTitle`) - Tooltips
7. **Text Content** (`getByText`) - Visible text
8. **CSS Selector** (`locator`) - Complex queries

### Actions (25+)
- Navigation: navigate, reload, goBack, goForward, waitForLoadState
- Interaction: click, fill, type, select, hover, focus, blur
- Input: press, keyboard, scroll
- Waiting: waitForNavigation, waitForSelector, waitForURL, wait
- Utilities: screenshot, evaluate

### Assertions (20+)
- Visibility: toBeVisible, toBeHidden
- State: toBeEnabled, toBeDisabled, toBeChecked, toBeEmpty, toBeEditable
- Content: toContainText, toHaveText
- Attributes: toHaveAttribute, toHaveClass, toHaveValue, toHaveCount
- **Styling**: toHaveCSS (complex checks)
- Visual: toHaveScreenshot, toBeInViewport
- Page: toHaveURL, toHaveTitle
- Custom: custom JavaScript

## How to Use

### Run Tests
```bash
npm run test:e2e
```

### View Report
```bash
npm run test:e2e:report
```

### Write New Tests
Create `packages/my-package/playwright/tests.json`:
```json
{
  "$schema": "https://metabuilder.dev/schemas/package-playwright.schema.json",
  "package": "my_package",
  "tests": [
    {
      "name": "Should do something",
      "steps": [
        {"action": "navigate", "url": "/page"},
        {"action": "click", "testId": "button"},
        {"action": "expect", "testId": "result", "assertion": {"matcher": "toBeVisible"}}
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

Tests are auto-discovered and executed.
