Enable every pyrefly error kind and resolve the 54 resulting errors. - implicit-bool: replace truthiness tests with explicit comparisons (== "", len(x) > 0, is not None), and split and-joined guards into nested ifs so each condition is independently covered - explicit-any / unknown-variable-type / unknown-argument-type: add Manifest and TemplateEntry TypedDicts for the copier-managed-files JSON, and prove argparse Namespace attribute types with isinstance asserts rather than declaring them - no-any-return-explicit: narrow re.findall's list[Any] element with an isinstance assert - unannotated-return: ignored under the tests sub-config Fix the tests sub-config matcher along the way: "**/tests/**" never matched anything because matches is resolved relative to the config file, so the existing implicitly-defined-attribute override was inert. Extract _read_ancestor_manifest from main() to stay within the C901 and PLR0912 limits after the branch expansions.

Scope the branch-coverage guidelines to non-test code, since coverage never measures test files and collapsing a condition there hides nothing. Move the import rule out of Code Style into Tooling: it describes tool ownership rather than what code should look like, which puts it beside the `generated/` folder rule. Reword it to name the `import` statement explicitly, so it is not misread as being about a CLI command like the surrounding bullets, and to address the agent directly rather than relying on "manually".

Make the test-directory exemption configuration-specific.
This repository uses --cov=src, so test files are excluded here. Coverage tools can measure test directories under other configurations. Replace the absolute claim with a repository-specific or conditional statement.

| - Key `data-testid` selectors off unique IDs (e.g. UUIDs), not human-readable names which may collide or change. | ||
| - In DOM-based tests, scope queries to the tightest relevant container. Only query `document` or `document.body` directly to find the top-level portal/popup element (e.g. a Reka UI dialog via `[role="dialog"][data-state="open"]`); all further queries should run on that element, not on `document.body` again. | ||
| - When a `data-testid` identifies one of many rendered entities, interpolate that entity's stable identifier as the dynamic value, not its display label — prefer an ID (`item.itemId`, `record.sha`) whenever the entity has one, since labels collide and change. Where the identifier *is* human-readable and no ID exists, that name is the key. | ||
| - In DOM-based unit tests, scope queries to the tightest relevant container. Only query `document` or `document.body` directly to find the top-level portal/popup element (e.g. a Reka UI dialog via `[role="dialog"][data-state="open"]`); all further queries should run on that element, not on `document.body` again. Browser automation (e.g. Playwright) fails an ambiguous locator outright, so a unique `data-testid` looked up from the page is enough there. |

site:playwright.dev/docs locators strictness count multi-element operations ambiguous locator
💡 Result:
In Playwright, locators are strict by default, which ensures test reliability by preventing ambiguous interactions [1][2]. Strictness Behavior: - When an operation (such as click, fill, or check) is performed on a locator, Playwright verifies that the locator resolves to exactly one element [1][3]. - If a locator resolves to multiple elements, Playwright will throw a "strict mode violation" error [1][2][4]. - This mechanism prevents tests from accidentally interacting with the wrong element when the page structure contains duplicates [1][2]. Multi-Element Operations: - Operations that naturally expect multiple elements, such as.count, are exempt from strictness checks and function correctly even when multiple elements are matched [1][2]. - Other operations allow you to narrow down a multi-element locator to a single element explicitly, such as: -.first -.last -.nth(index) -.filter (e.g., filtering by text or another locator) [1][4][3] Best Practices: - While you can opt out of strictness using methods like.first or.nth, these are generally discouraged as the primary strategy because they can be brittle if the page structure changes [1][2]. - The recommended approach is to create more specific, unique locators that match only the intended element, prioritizing user-facing attributes such as roles, text content, or test IDs [1][2][5]. - You can use the Playwright Test generator or the VS Code extension to help identify and refine locators that uniquely target elements [6][5].

Limit the Playwright strictness claim to single-target operations.
Playwright permits multi-element operations such as count(). Single-target actions and assertions fail when a locator matches multiple elements. State this scope explicitly.
