2.13Step 9 — Decide the artifact and debugging conventions

The scaffold should create predictable local outputs.

Use:

artifacts/
  reports/
  screenshots/
  videos/
  traces/
  logs/

And the future runbooks should explain:

  • how to run one test
  • how to open the HTML report
  • how to inspect traces
  • how to regenerate auth state
  • how to run only API tests
  • how to switch environment

Redaction rule

The scaffold should encode:

  • never log raw secrets
  • never log full tokens
  • redact auth headers
  • redact cookies
  • redact PII
  • redact session values in logs and artifacts where practical
