[b-l-i-n-d]

Summary

• Adds a Playwright + wp-env harness that runs the Tutor core and Tutor Pro suites in one container on port 8888.
• Adds environment setup files, Docker preflight checks, runner scripts, and after-start seeding for admin, courses, enrollments, WooCommerce, assignments, and content-bank fixtures.
• Adds WP-CLI-backed factories, including add-on state toggling that restores the previous value, plus guest and shop-manager fixtures.
• Adds per-role authentication storage state so specs start signed in without repeating the login flow.
• Adds mail-log and HTTP-stub mu-plugins so email and outbound request assertions work without external services.
• Expands coverage for admin dashboard lists, filters, sort order, the course creation journey, student variations, checkout smoke paths, and Pro add-on specs.
• Scopes add-on toggling to isolated specs; standard add-ons rely on the seeded baseline so lifecycle, gating, security, and dependency-gated tests are not disturbed.
• Documents the environment contract and research notes, and adds the PR description template and validation workflow.

Testing

• Run pnpm e2e:full against a fresh wp-env container and confirm the suite starts without a restrictive feature grep.
• Run pnpm e2e:pro and confirm the Pro project resolves the shared config and factories.
• Re-run an add-on spec twice and confirm beforeAll/afterAll restores the previous enabled state with no leakage into neighbouring specs.
• Verify each seeded role can sign in from stored auth state and that factories return usable IDs and URLs.
• Confirm the mail log records generated messages and the HTTP stub intercepts outbound requests without network access.
• Run PHPCS on changed PHP files, and ESLint plus tsc --noEmit on changed TypeScript.
• Full suite on CI: Not run.
