The E2E job has been failing since June. 21 of 62 tests fail, 20 of them with "Failed to fetch CSRF token: 429 Rate limit exceeded" — the suite requests far more than the default 60 CSRF tokens and locks itself out. playwright.config.ts already raises CSRF_MAX_REQUESTS and RATE_LIMIT_MAX_REQUESTS for the servers it starts, but that block is skipped when CI is set, and the workflow starts the backend without them. Passing the same values in the workflow takes a clean main checkout from 21 failed / 41 passed to 62 passed. Generated by Nilo
