The os module can be replaced with the more modern pathlib for path operations later in the file. Additionally, the json module is imported but never used and can be removed.

Using pathlib provides a more robust and readable way to construct file paths and convert them to a file URI, avoiding potential issues with string formatting across different operating systems.

Building the file://.../code/index.html URL from os.getcwd() is brittle (depends on the caller's working directory) and can also break on Windows paths / spaces because it isn't URL-encoded. Prefer constructing the path relative to this file (e.g., via Path(__file__).resolve()) and using Path(...).as_uri() for a correct file URL.

P1 Badge Assert screen deactivation by token, not full class string

not_to_have_class("active") only checks that the full class attribute is not exactly "active", so it still passes when the element remains "screen active". In this test, a regression that fails to deactivate #screen-1 would not be caught, which undermines the navigation verification this script is meant to provide.

This layout check assumes there are at least two visible .bento-choice-card elements and that bounding_box() returns a dict. In Playwright, bounding_box() can return None (e.g., if the element is not visible yet), and .all() can return fewer than 2 elements if rendering fails. Add an explicit count/visibility assertion before indexing and handle None boxes to avoid intermittent failures.

P2 Badge Remove duplicate trial advancement in simulation loop

The loop manually calls loadNextTrial() immediately after handleUserSelection(...), but handleUserSelection already schedules loadNextTrial via setTimeout in code/experiment.js. This introduces overlapping trial transitions and timing races, making the E2E check flaky and potentially validating state/screens at unintended points in the flow.

This loop has a couple of issues:

  1. The number of trials is hardcoded (6), making the test brittle if the experiment configuration changes.
  2. The logic for advancing trials is incorrect. The comment on line 96 is mistaken; handleUserSelection does schedule loadNextTrial after a delay. Calling it again immediately is a bug, and using wait_for_timeout is unreliable.

A better approach is to get the number of trials from the page, and then in the loop, simply trigger the user selection and let Playwright's auto-waiting handle the delay by asserting on an element of the next state.

The loop calls handleUserSelection(...) (which already schedules loadNextTrial via setTimeout(loadNextTrial, 200)) and then immediately calls loadNextTrial() again. This can cause the next-trial UI to re-render unexpectedly while the loop continues, leading to flaky timing-dependent behavior. Prefer either waiting for the built-in transition (e.g., wait ~250ms and do not call loadNextTrial() manually) or temporarily disabling/overriding the timer when driving the flow via direct JS calls.

Using wait_for_timeout (a hard sleep) can make tests flaky and slow. It's better to wait for a specific condition or state change in the UI. In this case, you should wait for screen 10 to become active before proceeding to check the results.

This script relies on Python assert statements for validation. When Python is run with optimizations (python -O), assert statements are stripped and the script may report success without executing checks. For a verification tool, prefer explicit if checks that raise AssertionError (or use unittest/pytest) so the validations always run.

P1 Badge Exercise production logic instead of mock helper

This script defines and validates a local mock (simulateResultLogging) instead of importing and testing logic from code/experiment.js, so it can pass even when real telemetry behavior regresses. As written, it creates false confidence because the assertions are disconnected from the code path they claim to verify.

simulateResultLogging writes user_selection as raw values ('A'/'B'), but the production telemetry in code/experiment.js formats this field as Layout A / Layout B and includes many additional required keys. This mismatch means the script can pass while the real telemetry schema is broken; align the mock payload shape with the production schema (or, ideally, test against the real logging function).

The comment says the suite will load the real code from the filesystem if possible, but the script currently never imports/loads code/experiment.js (and instead tests a local mock). As written, this won't catch regressions in the actual experiment logic; consider wiring this to the real functions (e.g., by exporting a pure module from experiment.js or duplicating the exact logic under test) or adjust the wording so the scope is clear.
