 # E2E Tests — Running Robot Framework Tests
 
+## Test File Structure
+
+The E2E suite is organized **one `.robot` file per feature area** defined in `Docs/Features.md`. Each file is independently runnable.
+
+| File | Feature |
+|---|---|
+| `01_setup_and_auth.robot` | Setup wizard (formerly `05_setup.robot`) — form fields, password strength, validation, full submit |
+| `02_login.robot` | Login page — wrong password, rate limit (429), session validation 401, logout |
+| `03_dashboard.robot` | Ban Overview (Dashboard) — status bar, time-range presets, data-source badges, API endpoints |
+| `04_map.robot` | World Map View — country fills, click-to-filter, zoom controls, sticky table header/footer |
+| `05_jails.robot` | Jail Management — list, ban/unban API, IP lookup, ignore list, jail controls |
+| `06_config_jails_filters_actions.robot` | Configuration View — Jails/Filters/Actions tabs, inline edit, raw config, regex tester |
+| `07_config_log_and_serversettings.robot` | Server settings + log viewer + log observation allowlist |
+| `08_history.robot` | Ban History — table, filters, per-IP timeline, archive vs fail2ban source |
+| `09_blocklists.robot` | External Blocklist Importer — CRUD, SSRF validation, schedule, import log, delete restriction |
+| `10_general_layout.robot` | General UI/layout — sidebar nav, theme toggle, session persistence, health endpoints |
+| `02_ban_records.robot` | (pre-existing) end-to-end ban pipeline: fail2ban log → history |
+| `03_blocklist_import.robot` | (pre-existing) blocklist manual import via UI |
+| `04_config_edit.robot` | (pre-existing) config field auto-save round trip |
+
+## Resource Files
+
+Shared keywords live in `resources/`:
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `common.resource` | `Wait For Backend Health`, `Wait For Frontend`, `Page Should Contain` wrapper, `XFF` helpers, IP/jail name generators |
+| `auth.resource` | `Login As Admin`, `Login Via HTTP`, `Logout`, `Verify Session Invalid`, `Login With Wrong Password`, `Login Exceeds Rate Limit` |
+| `api.resource` | `Api Get/Post/Put/Delete` wrappers that auto-inject CSRF + X-Forwarded-For headers |
+| `data.resource` | Unique IP / jail name / blocklist name generators (RFC5737 ranges) |
+

+## Rate-Limit Workaround
+
+BanGUI rate-limits several endpoints per source IP:
+
+| Bucket | Default Limit | Window |
+|---|---|---|
+| `POST /api/v1/auth/login` | 5 / IP | 60 s |
+| `POST /api/v1/blocklists/import` | 10 / IP | 3600 s |
+| `POST /api/v1/bans` | 10 000 / IP | 60 s |
+| `PUT /api/v1/config/jails/{name}` | 10 000 / IP | 60 s |
+
+Tests bypass these by sending a fresh `X-Forwarded-For: 192.0.2.<n>` header per test. The `Set Random Xff Header` keyword in `common.resource` rotates the IP. The `auth.resource` `Login Via HTTP` and the `api.resource` `Api Get/Post/Put/Delete` wrappers all accept and propagate `${XFF_HEADER}` automatically.
+
+## Test-IP Convention
+
+All test data uses RFC5737 documentation-only ranges to avoid colliding with real internet addresses:
+
+| Range | Purpose |
+|---|---|
+| `192.0.2.0/24` (TEST-NET-1) | X-Forwarded-For headers |
+| `198.51.100.0/24` (TEST-NET-2) | Geo-lookup test IPs |
+| `203.0.113.0/24` (TEST-NET-3) | Ban / unban test IPs |
+
 ## View Results
 
 Open `results/log.html` or `results/report.html` in a browser.
 
+## Failure Protocol
+
+Per project policy, **test failures are NOT fixed by editing app code**. If a test fails:
+1. Stop.
+2. Report the failure with: test name, expected vs actual, log excerpt, API request/response.
+3. Do not edit the test to weaken assertions.
+4. Do not edit frontend / backend / fail2ban config to make the test pass.
+5. The failure is a finding — separate from any bug-fix task.
