How this site is tested

I test this site the way I test products: every change goes through the same gates before it is deployed. If a check fails, the change does not ship.

Gate	Tool	What it checks	Status
End-to-end smoke tests	Playwright	Every page opens, navigation and theme toggle work, links resolve.	planned
Accessibility	axe-core + Playwright	WCAG 2.2 AA rules in both light and dark themes.	planned
Performance & SEO budgets	Lighthouse CI	Performance ≥ 95, Accessibility 100, SEO 100. The build fails below that.	planned
Broken links	lychee	Internal and external links, on every pull request and weekly.	planned
Visual regression	Playwright screenshots	Catches layout changes nobody intended.	planned
Spelling	cspell	Typos in every page.	planned
Type check & build	astro check	Content and templates compile without errors.	planned

This is a prototype. The gates above are being wired into GitHub Actions; this page will link to the latest run and its reports.
