kevinveenbirkenbachandClaude Sonnet 4.6 2457d0e13c docs(playwright): add recording section and remove duplicated requirements
- Add Recording Tests section: Playwright codegen (built-in) and
  playwright-recorder (Docker/X11-based) with usage examples
- Replace duplicated spec/env requirement blocks with links to their
  SPOT pages in docs/agents/files/role/
- Extend Development Procedure to include optional recording step

# Unit Tests
This page is the SPOT for unit testing requirements, framework, and structure.
Run unit tests with `make test-unit`.
## Framework
- You MUST use Python `unittest` as the test framework.
- Tests MUST live under `tests/unit/`.
- Mirror the source tree: a file at `plugins/lookup/service.py` gets its tests at `tests/unit/plugins/lookup/test_service.py`.
## Requirements
- You MUST add or update unit tests for every `*.py` file you touch.
- Each test MUST cover one isolated behavior. Do not test multiple concerns in a single test method.
- You MUST NOT write tests that only assert a file contains a string.
- You MUST NOT write tests for non-executable files such as `.yml` or `.j2`. Test the code that consumes them instead.
- You SHOULD name test methods after the behavior they verify, not the function name alone (e.g. `test_needed_false_when_disabled`).
- You SHOULD cover edge cases — empty inputs, missing keys, boundary values — not only the happy path.
- You MAY use `unittest.mock` to isolate the unit under test from Ansible internals or external state.
## How to Create
1. Identify the module under test (e.g. `plugins/lookup/service.py`).
2. Create the matching test file under `tests/unit/` if it does not exist.
3. Subclass `unittest.TestCase`.
4. Write one method per behavior. Build hypotheses before writing assertions.
5. Run `make test-unit` and verify all tests pass.
