+The deployment check requires one credential-free HTTPS origin with no path, query,

-The Playwright suite has two layers:
+The Playwright suite covers the Directory's public discovery and seller-publication
+surfaces without contacting a live chain or spending funds.
 
-- `npm run test:e2e` runs seven deterministic browser regressions: six mocked `/try` payment-safety scenarios plus a `/try-chat` replay check that proves the explainer cannot dispatch a purchase. It never spends DEM or USDC and is safe for CI.
-- `npm run test:e2e:live` contains five serial checks against the live Butler gateway. It is skipped unless the operator explicitly authorizes a capped testnet purchase.
+- `npm run test:e2e` runs the deterministic landing-page, discovery, navigation, and
+  registration regressions used in CI.
+- `npm run test:e2e:ui` opens Playwright's interactive runner for local debugging.
 
-## Install the browser
-
-```bash
-npx playwright install chromium
-```
-
-## Run the zero-cost suite
-
-```bash
-npm run test:e2e
-```
-
-## Run the live suite
-
-The live suite makes exactly one new procurement purchase. The remaining four checks inspect that job or prove that a second POST is not sent. It refuses to run with a budget cap above 5 DEM.
-
-```bash
-RUN_LIVE_PAID_E2E=1 LIVE_E2E_MAX_DEM=5 npm run test:e2e:live
-```
-
-Optional overrides:
-
-- `LIVE_BUTLER_ORIGIN` changes the gateway origin.
-- Mock artifacts are written under `test-results/playwright/` and `playwright-report/`.
-- Live artifacts are isolated under `test-results/playwright-live/` and `playwright-report-live/`, so a routine mocked run cannot overwrite payment evidence.
-
-Treat the live command as a payment authorization. Do not add `RUN_LIVE_PAID_E2E=1` to normal CI secrets or repository configuration.
+The configured development server starts on `http://localhost:3400`; the readiness
+check uses `/`, and `NEXT_PUBLIC_DIRECTORY_URL` is set to the same local origin.
