feat: Add automated testing with Vitest and Playwright

- Install Vitest (integration tests for API routes) and Playwright (E2E tests)
- Add vitest.config.ts, playwright.config.ts, src/test/setup.ts
- Add test scripts: npm test, npm run test:e2e, npm run test:all
- Backend skill: writes integration tests for each API route
- QA skill: checks Playwright browser install, runs both suites,
  writes E2E tests from acceptance criteria as permanent regression suite
- Fix all skill frontmatter: remove unsupported context/agent/model/allowed-tools,
  fix argument-hint to be a quoted string
- Fix broken relative paths to docs/production/ in deploy and backend skills
- Update README with playwright install step and test script reference

+For each API route created, write a Vitest integration test in `src/app/api/[route]/[route].test.ts`:
+- Test the happy path (valid input → expected response)
+- Test validation errors (invalid input → 400 with error message)
+- Test authentication (unauthenticated request → 401)

 - Test core flows of related features

+npm run test:e2e          # Playwright: E2E tests from previous QA runs

+### 6. Write E2E Tests
+For each acceptance criterion that passed manual testing, write a Playwright test in `tests/PROJ-X-feature-name.spec.ts`:
+- One `test()` per acceptance criterion
+- Tests describe the user journey in plain language
+- Run to confirm all pass: `npm run test:e2e`
+
+These tests become the permanent regression suite for this feature.

+### 7. Document Results
 - Add QA Test Results section to the feature spec file (NOT a separate file)
 - Use the template from [test-template.md](test-template.md)

 - Total acceptance criteria: X passed, Y failed
 - Bugs found: breakdown by severity
