 ## Responsibilities

-1. Maintain a dedicated pnpm E2E repository with versioned journeys.
-2. Execute journeys against the exact deployed environment supplied by Delivery.
-3. Collect machine-readable and human-reviewable evidence.
-4. Distinguish product failures, environment failures, and test defects.
-5. Return product/environment failures to Kanban and Delivery with reproducible evidence.
-6. Rerun the affected journey set after a verified redeployment.
-7. Hand a `UAT_PASSED` or `UAT_FAILED` verdict to Releases without implying release approval.
+1. Maintain a dedicated pnpm E2E repository as the authoritative home for functional non-unit tests and their fixtures, configuration, runner, and evidence contract.

+3. Execute source-coupled functional non-unit suites against an exact application-source checkout and black-box journeys against the exact deployed environment supplied by Delivery.
+4. Collect machine-readable and human-reviewable evidence.
+5. Distinguish product failures, environment failures, and test defects.
+6. Return product/environment failures to Kanban and Delivery with reproducible evidence.
