30-Day Action Plan

  1. 1. Tag and isolate the 12 most stable smoke tests for PR gates.
  2. 2. Quarantine known flaky tests and run them nightly only.
  3. 3. Standardize selectors to `data-testid` for the top failing flows.
  4. 4. Move setup-heavy scenarios to API-level fixtures for stable test data.
  5. 5. Track flaky rate weekly and target reduction from 28% to 16%.
