September 2025: Stabilized the E2E testing stack and expanded automation coverage for attendance workflows. Updated Playwright Docker images to the latest stable versions to reduce test flakiness and ensure compatibility with the current Playwright feature set in CircleCI. Delivered prisoner exclusion workflow automation in the activities management system, including end-to-end tests, new page objects, and test cases for marking prisoners as 'not required' for activities, covering both paid and unpaid scenarios.

August 2025: Focused on expanding automated QA for allocation management in hmpps-activities-management. Delivered end-to-end tests for the allocation flow (approved and pending waitlist scenarios) including non-associations checks, and tests for updates to allocation end dates. Implemented new page objects and updated test configurations to support these scenarios. This work improves release confidence and reduces risk in production changes to allocations.
