## What & why `verify-stack` was failing intermittently on the Playwright e2e with `Page crashed` mid-action (`locator.fill`) and 90s timeouts — the run logged **"2 workers"**, i.e. two full `channel: 'chromium'` browsers running alongside the entire compose stack on the 8 GB self-hosted runner. The renderer gets OOM-killed. Tests passed only when a retry happened to run alone. Fix: pin `workers: 1` in `tests/e2e/playwright.config.ts` (there are only two long-running happy-path specs, so serial costs little) and add `--disable-dev-shm-usage`. This removes the memory contention at the source rather than leaning on `retries` (CLAUDE.md §15 — flaky tests are fixed, not retried). Closes #115 ## Definition of Done - [x] Linked Gitea issue (#115). - [ ] Failing test committed first — N/A: the "red" is the observed `verify-stack` e2e crash (`Page crashed`, 2 workers); this changes test-harness config to fix it. Verified green by re-running the e2e (see notes). - [x] Conventional Commit referencing the issue (`refs #115`). - [ ] CI green — the point of the change; `verify-stack` e2e should stop OOM-crashing. - [x] Docs — none needed (test-config only; rationale in an inline comment). - [ ] ADR — N/A. ## Notes for reviewers - One-line-of-behaviour change: `workers: 1` + `--disable-dev-shm-usage`; no product or spec changes. - `Page crashed` is a renderer OOM, not a product defect — the happy path passes when a browser runs alone (the flaky retries already showed this). Single-worker makes that the normal case. - Independent of #110 (that PR fixes `docker-compose.local.yml`; this fixes the CI `verify-stack` e2e). Landing this first unblocks #110's `verify-stack`.
