Oct 1, 2025October 2025: Delivered Playwright workflow and test suite reliability enhancements for mozilla/kitsune. Refactors streamlined Allure report generation and artifact uploading, removed redundant artifact deletion, and fixed the method for extracting verification codes from email responses. Tests for restricted-visibility KB articles were strengthened by updating the test helper to accept a list of groups and to pass group names as strings or lists, improving test robustness.
