test: remove checks that pin implementation details and add a shadcn testing rule (#48663)

* test: remove e2e checks and a CI line count that pin implementation details

Deletes the Auto Router template select anchoring spec, the 390px logs pagination variant, and the call id tooltip and clipboard step in the logs spec. Each one tests library or test helper behavior rather than what users see, and each has been red or flaky on main without a product regression

Also drops the exact line count on the fan-in requirements export in the integration coverage job. It went from 6 to 10 when uv.lock gained a Python 3.15 fork, while the install was still correct. A package the filter drops still fails the job, either at the hash-checked install or at the next step's import

* docs(agents): do not test what shadcn and Base UI already guarantee

Adds the boundary to the dashboard AGENTS.md next to the test tiers, and points the Playwright suite's entry in tests/e2e/AGENTS.md at it

 - `secret_manager/` - the gateway's `key_management_system` against a real secret manager: deployment keys resolved from it (`os.environ/<name>` where the name exists only in the manager) and virtual keys written to and deleted from it. The tests are backend-agnostic and each backend is its own lane, because the setting is global to the proxy: `E2E_SECRET_MANAGER=<system>` opts in and picks the backend from `secret_backends.BACKENDS`, the proxy is booted from `gateway/secret_manager_<system>_ci_config.yml` against the live manager, and the tests reach that manager through the backend's `SecretStore` (`secret_store_<system>.py`). A test needing something not every backend does carries `requires_capability(...)` and is deselected on lanes that lack it. `secret_manager/backend.sh up <system>` runs a backend in Docker and writes the proxy's and the tests' env. Marked `secret_manager`, deselected unless `E2E_SECRET_MANAGER` is set, and kept out of the per-PR selector. Backends today: `hashicorp_vault` and `cyberark` (CyberArk Conjur, which cannot delete, so the delete test is Vault-only)

It is a self-contained npm package with its own lockfile and does not use the Python harness, pytest markers, or the shared transport. The Python rules in this file (typed models, `Result` unions, basedpyright zero-error gate) do not apply inside it.

 Tests come in three tiers, named by the standard definitions. `Foo.test.tsx` is a unit test: one module, collaborators replaced by doubles, no multi-component tree, and it should run in milliseconds. `Foo.integration.test.tsx` renders a real component tree with real children and only stubs the network boundary. It costs seconds per case, so it earns its place by proving wiring that a unit test cannot reach. Browser-level tests live in `tests/e2e/ui/` as Playwright specs against a live proxy
 
+Do not test what shadcn and Base UI already guarantee, such as a tooltip opening on hover, a popup positioning itself against its trigger, focus trapping and Escape in a dialog, keyboard movement through a menu or select, and open and close animations. Those are the library's contract, and a test of them only fails when we restyle or move the page. Test what we put inside the primitive and what happens because of it, like the text a tooltip carries, the options a select offers, or the request a confirm button sends. Reach that content the most direct way, by a click, the keyboard, or the data the page renders, rather than through a hover race. If we change a primitive's behavior in `src/components/ui/`, its test lives next to that primitive as `*.test.tsx`, never in a page spec that borrows the page as a host
+
 When a component holds logic worth asserting, extract the logic and unit-test it there rather than driving it through a render. `CreateMCPServer` is the worked example: its payload building lives in `createServerPayload.ts` with 46 unit tests that run in single-digit milliseconds, while `CreateMCPServer.integration.test.tsx` keeps only the cases that prove a form field reaches the right payload key. A test that renders a whole modal to assert the shape of one object belongs in the first category, not the second
 
 Most of the suite predates this split and is not yet classified, so an unsuffixed `*.test.tsx` is not evidence that a file is really a unit test. Classify what you touch
