[ci] Extend MCP registry smoke-check retry window

User Story

As a tester, I want registry publication verification to tolerate indexing delays so that successful MCP releases are not reported as failed.

Context

The v3.3.0 release exposed an eventual-consistency problem in .github/workflows/publish-mcp.yml:88-105.

Run https://github.com/hubertgajewski/playwright-report-mcp/actions/runs/31577349819 successfully completed:

[chore] Bump to 3.3.0 for dual-era MCP protocol support

Context

PR #147 closed #146 and added backward-compatible support for both modern and legacy MCP protocol eras:

Modern clients can negotiate MCP revision 2026-07-28 through server/discover.
Existing clients can continue using the legacy 2025-era initialize lifecycle.
The selected protocol era is pinned for the connection lifetime.
Unsupported pinned revisions fail with an explicit negotiation error instead of silently

[enhancement] Support MCP 2026-07-28 while preserving legacy clients

User Story

As a tester, I want playwright-report-mcp to negotiate either MCP 2026-07-28 or the legacy 2025-era protocol so that I can use modern stateless clients without breaking existing MCP integrations.

Context

The server currently depends on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk v1 in package.json:43 and imports its server APIs in index.ts:2-3.

The CLI constructs one global McpServer at index.ts:621 and connects it directly to StdioServerTransport at index.ts:962-965. Direct

[chore] Bump to 3.2.2 for split runtime modules

Context

PR #120 closed #119 and split the monolithic implementation/test suite into focused modules while preserving public MCP server and CLI behavior:

Runtime source now lives under src/, with compiled output under dist/.
src/index.ts remains the executable entrypoint, and package main / bin still point at dist/index.js.
Package publishing now includes dist/** so all required compiled runtime modules ship with the

[enhancement] Split monolithic implementation and tests into focused modules

User Story

As a maintainer, I want the monolithic implementation and test files split into focused modules so that future changes are easier to review, test, and publish safely as an npm package.

Context

The project currently keeps nearly all runtime code in index.ts:

index.ts is about 966 lines.
test/server.test.ts is about 2,466 lines.
package.json currently points both main and bin at dist/index.js.
package.json currently publishes only dist/index.js via `f

[chore] Bump to 3.2.1 for token-efficient run status polling

Context

PR #115 fixed excessive token usage in the v3.2.0 non-blocking Playwright run polling workflow:

get_run_status no longer returns retained stdoutTail and stderrTail text on every poll.
The server parses compact Playwright progress markers such as [528/662] from stdout without retaining raw stdout/stderr output.
get_run_status now returns progress: { current, total }, with nullable values before

[bug] get_run_status polling consumes too many tokens

Bug

get_run_status in v3.2.0 consumes too many tokens during normal polling of long-running Playwright suites because every status response includes retained stdout/stderr tails.

Actual behavior

get_run_status returns stdoutTail and stderrTail on every poll. Those tails are stored on the tracked run and capped only by RUN_TAIL_LIMIT = 20_000 per stream in index.ts.

In a full-suite measurement, 9 status polls produced 229,457 text chars from get_run_status; stdout/stderr

[chore] Bump to 3.2.0 for non-blocking run status polling

Context

PR #111 added backward-compatible MCP API surface for long-running Playwright test workflows:

run_tests({ wait: false }) starts a tracked background Playwright run and returns a stable runId immediately.
get_run_status reports active and terminal run state, output tails, results.json metadata, parsed stats, and idle status for a working directory when no run is tracked.

[enhancement] Add non-blocking test run status polling

User Story

As an AI coding agent, I want to start a Playwright test run without blocking and poll its current status so that I can understand whether tests are still running, failing, timing out, or producing report output during long runs.

Context

run_tests currently runs Playwright through synchronous spawnSync in index.ts, via runPlaywright(...). While that child process is running, the MCP server process cannot serve another tool call from the same client. That means an agen

[chore] Bump to 3.1.4 after Node 26 CI validation

[chore] Bump to 3.1.3

Context

The latest published npm and GitHub release version is 3.1.2. The release workflow requires the package metadata and MCP registry metadata to stay in sync before cutting a new v* tag.

This is a PATCH bump from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 for the next release.

Scope

Update all version fields to 3.1.3 in one change:

File	Field	Current	Target
package.json	version	3.1.2	3.1.3
package-lock.json	root version entries	3.1

[chore] Bump to 3.1.0 for run_tests CLI flag additions

Context

PR #85 (merged as bfa7b3d, closes #84) added 6 new optional input fields to run_tests — updateSnapshots, headed, workers, retries, maxFailures, trace. All changes are additive (new optional fields, no renames, no removals, no behavior change for callers who do not set the new fields).

Under semver that's a MINOR bump from the current 3.0.0 to 3.1.0:

MAJOR (4.0.0) — overstates it, nothing broke.

[feat] Expose common Playwright CLI flags on `run_tests` (updateSnapshots, headed, workers, retries, maxFailures, trace)

Context

run_tests currently exposes only spec, browser, tag, and timeout. Consumers with workflows that should flow through the MCP — notably visual-regression baseline refreshes (--update-snapshots) — have to fall back to running npx playwright test directly. That workaround is especially painful in agent environments where a PreToolUse hook blocks direct
