+    - Note: These are deprecated. Prefer Compound typography tokens like `var(--cpd-font-body-md-regular)` for new code.

+
+### CSS module (\*.module.css)
+
+**CSS modules provide locally-scoped class names and are the preferred approach for new shared components.**
+
+#### Naming and file structure
+
+1. The CSS module file MUST have the same name as the component with `.module.css` extension.
+   For example: `PlayPauseButton.module.css` for `PlayPauseButton.tsx`.
+2. Place the CSS module file in the same directory as the component.
+3. Class names should be semantic and describe their purpose, NOT prefixed with `mx_`.
+   For example: `.button`, `.label`, `.content`, `.title`.
+4. Use camelCase for multi-word class names: `.playButton`, `.primaryAction`, `.errorMessage`.
+
+#### Importing and usage
+
+5. Import the CSS module as `styles`:
+
+    ```tsx
+    import styles from "./MyComponent.module.css";
+    ```
+
+6. Apply classes using the styles object:
+
+    ```tsx
+    <div className={styles.container}>
+        <span className={styles.label}>{label}</span>
+        <button className={styles.button}>Click me</button>
+    </div>
+    ```
+
+7. Combine multiple classes using `classNames` utility:
+
+    ```tsx
+    import classNames from "classnames";
+
+    <div className={classNames(styles.pill, className)}>
+        <span className={styles.label}>{label}</span>
+    </div>;
+    ```
+
+#### Styling guidelines
+
+8. Use Compound Design Tokens for all styling values:
+    - Colors: `var(--cpd-color-bg-subtle-primary)`, `var(--cpd-color-text-primary)`
+    - Typography: `var(--cpd-font-body-md-regular)`, `var(--cpd-font-heading-sm-semibold)`
+    - Spacing: `var(--cpd-space-2x)`, `var(--cpd-space-4x)`
+    - Border radius: `var(--cpd-radius-pill-effect)` or standard px values for design-specific needs
+
+9. Use CSS custom properties for component-specific themeable values:
+
+    ```css
+    .flex {
+        display: var(--mx-flex-display, unset);
+        flex-direction: var(--mx-flex-direction, unset);
+        align-items: var(--mx-flex-align, unset);
+        gap: var(--mx-flex-gap, unset);
+    }
+    ```
+
+10. Avoid nesting selectors when possible. CSS modules provide scoping, so nesting is rarely needed.
+11. If `!important` is necessary (e.g., to override Compound component styles), add a [comment](#comments) explaining why:
+
+    ```css
+    .button {
+        background-color: var(--cpd-color-bg-subtle-primary) !important; /* override Compound default */
+    }
+    ```
+
+12. CSS modules do not support PostCSS variables (`$variable`). Always use CSS custom properties (`var(--variable)`) or direct values.

 If you do MVVM right, your view should be dumb i.e it gets data from the view model and merely displays it.

-### Practical guidelines for MVVM in element-web
+## Why are we using MVVM?
+
+1. MVVM forces a separation of concern i.e we will no longer have large react components that have a lot of state and rendering code mixed together. This improves code readability and makes it easier to introduce changes.
+2. Introduces the possibility of code reuse. You can reuse an old view model with a new view or vice versa.
+3. Adding to the point above, in future you could import element-web view models to your project and supply your own views thus creating something similar to the [hydrogen sdk](https://github.com/element-hq/hydrogen-web/blob/master/doc/SDK.md).

+4. Views should define the interface of the view model (see example below).
 5. Multiple views can share the same view model if necessary.

+4. Call [`this.snapshot.merge(...)`](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/packages/shared-components/src/viewmodel/Snapshot.ts#L32) to only update part of the snapshot.
+5. Avoid recomputing the entire snapshot when you only need to update a single field. For performance reasons, only recompute the fields that have actually changed. For example, if only `title` has changed, call `this.snapshot.merge({ title: newTitle })` rather than rebuilding the full snapshot object with all fields recomputed.
+6. View models can have props which are passed in the constructor. Props are usually used to pass in dependencies (eg: stores, sdk, etc) that the view model needs to do its work. They can also be used to pass in initial values for the snapshot.

-    ```ts
-    interface Props {
-        propsValue: string;
+**Example of a view model implementation**
+
+```ts
+import { type FooViewSnapshot, type FooViewModel as FooViewModelInterface } from "./FooView";
+
+// Props are the arguments passed to the view model constructor. They are usually used to pass in dependencies (eg: stores, sdk, etc) that the view model needs to do its work. They can also be used to pass in initial values for the snapshot.
+interface Props {
+    title: string;
+}
+
+/**
+ * This is an example view model that implements the FooViewModelInterface.
+ * It extends the BaseViewModel class which provides common functionality for view models, such as managing subscriptions and snapshots.
+ * The view model is responsible for managing the state of the view and providing actions that can be called from the view.
+ * In this example, we have a title and description in the snapshot, and actions to set the title and reload the description.
+ */
+export class FooViewModel extends BaseViewModel<FooViewSnapshot, Props> implements FooViewModelInterface {
+    public constructor(props: Props) {
+        // Call super with initial snapshot
+        super(props, { title: props.title, description: costlyDescriptionLoading() });
    }

-    class FooViewModel extends BaseViewModel<FooViewSnapshot, Props> implements FooViewModel {
-        constructor(props: Props) {
-            // Call super with initial snapshot
-            super(props, { value: "initial" });
-        }
-
-        public doSomething() {
-            // Call this.snapshot.set to update the snapshot
-            this.snapshot.set({ value: "changed" });
-        }
+    public setTitle(title: string): void {
+        // We only update the title in the snapshot, description remains unchanged.
+        // Calling `this.snapshot.merge` will trigger the view to re-render with the new snapshot value.
+        // If we had called `this.snapshot.set`, we would have needed to provide the full snapshot value, including the description.
+        this.snapshot.merge({ title });
    }
-    ```

-4. A full example is available [here](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/src/viewmodels/audio/AudioPlayerViewModel.ts)
+    public reloadDescription(): void {
+        // Simulate reloading the description by calling the costly function again and updating the snapshot.
+        this.snapshot.merge({ description: costlyDescriptionLoading() });
+    }

-### Benefits
+    /**
+     * This is an example of how to access props in the view model. Props are passed in the constructor and can be accessed through `this.props`.
+     */
+    public printProps(): void {
+        // Access props through `this.props`
+        console.log("Current props:", this.props);
+    }
+}
+```

-1. MVVM forces a separation of concern i.e we will no longer have large react components that have a lot of state and rendering code mixed together. This improves code readability and makes it easier to introduce changes.
-2. Introduces the possibility of code reuse. You can reuse an old view model with a new view or vice versa.
-3. Adding to the point above, in future you could import element-web view models to your project and supply your own views thus creating something similar to the [hydrogen sdk](https://github.com/element-hq/hydrogen-web/blob/master/doc/SDK.md).
+#### Binding of View Model Actions:
+
+All view model actions must be defined as arrow functions to ensure they are bound to the class instance.
+
+Using standard class methods can result in `this` being undefined when the function is passed as a callback (e.g. to a React event handler), which may cause runtime errors.
+
+Correct pattern:
+
+```ts
+public doSomething = (): void => {
+    ...
+};
+```
+
+### `useViewModel` hook
+
+Your view must call this hook with the view-model as argument. Think of this as your view subscribing to the view model.<br>
+This hook returns the snapshot from your view-model.
+
+## Disposables and helper hooks
+
+Disposables provide a mechanism for tracking and releases resources. This is necessary for avoiding memory leaks.
+
+### Lifecycle of a view model
+
+The lifecycle of a given view model is from its creation (usually through the constructor i.e `new FooViewModel(prop1, prop2)`) to the time the `dispose` method on it is called (eg: `fooViewModel.dispose()`). It is the responsibility of whoever creates the view model to call the dispose method when the view model is no longer necessary.
+
+Disposable work by tracking anything that needs to be disposed of and then sequentially disposing them when `viewModel.dispose()` is called.
+
+### How to use disposables
+
+Consider the following scenarios:
+
+#### Scenario 1: Your view model listens to some event on an event emitter <br>
+
+In the example given below, how do you ensure that the listener on `props.emitter` is removed when the view model is disposed?
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        props.emitter.on("my-event", this.doSomething());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+You can use disposables to remove the listener when the view-model is disposed:
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.disposables.trackListener(props.emitter, "my-event", this.doSomething());
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Scenario 2: Your view model creates sub view models <br>
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.barViewModel = new BarViewModel(...);
+    }
+}
+```
+
+Here, we want to ensure that when `FooViewModel.dispose()` is called, it also disposes any sub view models (in this case `BarViewModel`):
+
+```ts
+class FooViewModel ... {
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        ...
+        this.barViewModel = this.disposables.track(new BarViewModel(...));
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Scenario 3: Tracking and disposing arbitrary resources <br>
+
+A disposable is:
+
+- a function
+- an object with `dispose` method (like a view model)
+
+You can therefore use disposables to track any resource that must be eventually relinquished, eg:
+
+```ts
+class Call {
+    ....
+    public endCall();
+    public stopConnections();
+}
+
+class CallViewModel {
+    ...
+    constructor(props: Props) {
+        const call = new Call();
+        // When the view model is disposed, the following call methods will be called
+        this.disposables.track(() => {
+            call.endCall();
+            call.stopConnections();
+        });
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Disposing view models from non-MVVMed react components
+
+While we eventually want all our UI code to use MVVM, the current reality is that most of the existing code is just normal react components. We follow a bottoms up approach when it comes to moving code over to MVVM i.e we deal with child components before dealing with parent components.
+
+This means that you need to dispose child view models from the non-MVVMed parent component.
+
+#### Class component:
+
+Create the view model in `componentDidMount()` and dispose the view model in `componentWillUnmount()`:
+
+```ts
+class FooComponent extends Component {
+    componentDidMount() {
+        this.barViewModel = new BarViewModel(...);
+    }
+
+    componentWillUnmount() {
+        this.barViewModel.dispose();
+    }
+}
+```
+
+#### Functional Component:
+
+Use the `useCreateAutoDisposedViewModel` hook:
+
+```ts
+export function FooComponent(props) {
+    const vm = useCreateAutoDisposedViewModel(() => new BarViewModel(...));
+    return <BarView vm={vm}>;
+}
+```
+
+This hook will call the `dispose` method on the view model when `FooComponent` is unmounted.

+## Overview
+
+Element Web contains two sets of Playwright tests:
+
+1. **Element Web E2E Tests** (`playwright/e2e/`) - Full end-to-end tests of the Element Web application with real homeserver instances
+2. **Shared Components Tests** (`packages/shared-components/`) - Visual regression tests for the shared component library using Storybook
+
+Both test suites run automatically in CI on every pull request and on every merge to develop & master.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before running Playwright tests, ensure you have the following set up:
+
+### 1. Install Playwright Browsers and System Dependencies
+
+Follow the Playwright installation instructions:
+
+- **Browsers:** <https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#install-browsers>
+- **System dependencies:** <https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#install-system-dependencies>
+
+```sh
+pnpm playwright install --with-deps
+```
+
+### 2. Container Runtime
+
+See [Supported Container Runtimes](#supported-container-runtimes) for details on supported container runtimes (Docker, Podman, Colima).
+
+### 3. Element Web Server (for E2E tests)
+
+Element Web E2E tests require an instance running on `http://localhost:8080` (configured in `playwright.config.ts`).
+
+You can either:
+
+- **Run manually:** `pnpm start` in a separate terminal (not working for screenshot tests running in a docker environment).
+- **Auto-start:** Playwright will start the webserver automatically if it's not already running

 ## Running the Tests

-Our Playwright tests run automatically as part of our CI along with our other tests,
-on every pull request and on every merge to develop & master.
+### Element Web E2E Tests

-You may need to follow instructions to set up your development environment for running
-Playwright by following <https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#install-browsers> and
-<https://playwright.dev/docs/browsers#install-system-dependencies>.
+Our main Playwright tests run against a full Element Web instance with Synapse/Dendrite homeservers.

-However the Playwright tests are run, an element-web instance must be running on
-http://localhost:8080 (this is configured in `playwright.config.ts`) - this is what will
-be tested. When running Playwright tests yourself, the standard `yarn start` from the
-element-web project is fine: leave it running it a different terminal as you would
-when developing. Alternatively if you followed the development set up from element-web then
-Playwright will be capable of running the webserver on its own if it isn't already running.
+**Run all E2E tests:**

-The tests use [testcontainers](https://node.testcontainers.org/) to launch Homeserver (Synapse or Dendrite)
-instances to test against, so you'll also need to one of the
-[supported container runtimes](#supporter-container-runtimes)
-installed and working in order to run the Playwright tests.
-
-There are a few different ways to run the tests yourself. The simplest is to run:
-
-```shell
-yarn run test:playwright
+```sh
+pnpm run test:playwright
 ```

-This will run the Playwright tests once, non-interactively.
+**Run a specific test file:**

-You can also run individual tests this way too, as you'd expect:
-
-```shell
-yarn run test:playwright --spec playwright/e2e/register/register.spec.ts
+```sh
+pnpm run test:playwright playwright/e2e/register/register.spec.ts
 ```

-Playwright also has its own UI that you can use to run and debug the tests.
-To launch it:
+**Run tests interactively with Playwright UI:**

-```shell
-yarn run test:playwright:open --headed --debug
+```sh
+pnpm run test:playwright:open
 ```

-See more command line options at <https://playwright.dev/docs/test-cli>.
+**Run screenshot tests only:**

-## Projects
+> [!WARNING]
+> This command run the playwright tests in a docker environment.

-By default, Playwright will run all "Projects", this means tests will run against Chrome, Firefox and "Safari" (Webkit).
-We only run tests against Chrome in pull request CI, but all projects in the merge queue.
-Some tests are excluded from running on certain browsers due to incompatibilities in the test harness.
+```sh
+pnpm run test:playwright:screenshots
+```
+
+For more information about visual testing, see [Visual Testing](playwright#visual-testing).
+
+**Additional command line options:** <https://playwright.dev/docs/test-cli>
+
+### Shared Components Tests
+
+See the [Shared Components README](../packages/shared-components/README.md#visual-regression-tests) for instructions on running the shared components Playwright tests.
+
+### Projects
+
+By default, Playwright runs tests against all "Projects": Chrome, Firefox, "Safari" (Webkit), Dendrite and Picone.
+
+- Chrome, Firefox, Safari run against Synapse
+- Dendrite and Picone run against Chrome
+
+Misc:
+
+- **Pull Request CI:** Tests run only against Chrome
+- **Merge Queue:** Tests run against all projects
+- Some tests are excluded from certain browsers due to incompatibilities (see [Test Tags](#test-tags))

 ## How the Tests Work

-Everything Playwright-related lives in the `playwright/` subdirectory
-as is typical for Playwright tests. Likewise, tests live in `playwright/e2e`.
+### Test Structure

-`playwright/testcontainers` contains the testcontainers which start instances
-of Synapse/Dendrite. These servers are what Element-web runs against in the tests.
+**Element Web tests** are located in the `playwright/` subdirectory:

-Synapse can be launched with different configurations in order to test element
-in different configurations. You can specify `synapseConfig` as such:
+- `playwright/e2e/` - E2E test files
+- `playwright/testcontainers/` - Testcontainers for Synapse/Dendrite instances
+- `playwright/snapshots/` - Visual regression test screenshots
+- `playwright/pages/` - Page object models
+- `playwright/plugins/` - Custom Playwright plugins
+
+### Homeserver Setup
+
+Homeservers (Synapse or Dendrite) are launched by Playwright workers and reused for all tests matching the worker configuration.
+
+**Configure Synapse options:**

 ```typescript
 test.use({
    synapseConfig: {
-        // The config options to pass to the Synapse instance
+        // Configuration options for the Synapse instance
    },
 });
 ```

-The appropriate homeserver will be launched by the Playwright worker and reused for all tests which match the worker configuration.
-Due to homeservers being reused between tests, please use unique names for any rooms put into the room directory as
-they may be visible from other tests, the suggested approach is to use `testInfo.testId` within the name or lodash's uniqueId.
-We remove public rooms from the room directory between tests but deleting users doesn't have a homeserver agnostic solution.
-The logs from testcontainers will be attached to any reports output from Playwright.
+**Important notes:**
+
+- Homeservers are reused between tests for efficiency
+- Please use unique names for any rooms put into the room directory as they may be visible from other tests, the suggested approach is to use `testInfo.testId` within the name or lodash's uniqueId.
+- We remove public rooms from the room directory between tests but deleting users doesn't have a homeserver agnostic solution.
+- Homeserver logs are attached to Playwright test reports
+
+### Fixtures
+
+We heavily leverage [Playwright fixtures](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-fixtures) to provide:
+
+- Homeserver instances (`homeserver`)
+- Logged-in users (`user`)
+- Bot users (`bot`)
+- Application state (`app`)
+
+See [Writing Tests](#writing-tests) for usage examples.

 ## Writing Tests

-Mostly this is the same advice as for writing any other Playwright test: the Playwright
-docs are well worth a read if you're not already familiar with Playwright testing, eg.
-https://playwright.dev/docs/best-practices. To avoid your tests being flaky it is also
-recommended to use [auto-retrying assertions](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-assertions#auto-retrying-assertions).
+For general Playwright best practices, see:

+- <https://playwright.dev/docs/test-assertions#auto-retrying-assertions> (recommended for avoiding flaky tests)

-We heavily leverage the magic of [Playwright fixtures](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-fixtures).
-To acquire a homeserver within a test just add the `homeserver` fixture to the test:
+### Getting a Homeserver
+
+Use the `homeserver` fixture to acquire a Homeserver instance:

 ```typescript
 test("should do something", async ({ homeserver }) => {
-    // homeserver is a Synapse/Dendrite instance
+    // homeserver is a ready-to-use Synapse/Dendrite instance
 });
 ```

-This returns an object with information about the Homeserver instance, including what port
-it was started on and the ID that needs to be passed to shut it down again. It also
-returns the registration shared secret (`registrationSecret`) that can be used to
-register users via the REST API. The Homeserver has been ensured ready to go by awaiting
-its internal health-check.
+**The fixture provides:**

-Homeserver instances should be reasonably cheap to start (you may see the first one take a
-while as it pulls the Docker image).
-You do not need to explicitly clean up the instance as it will be cleaned up by the fixture.
+- Server port information
+- Instance ID for shutdown
+- Registration shared secret (`registrationSecret`) for registering users via REST API
+
+Homeserver instances are:
+
+- Reasonably cheap to start (first run may be slow while pulling Docker image)
+- Automatically cleaned up by the fixture

 ### Logging In

-We again heavily leverage the magic of [Playwright fixtures](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-fixtures).
-To acquire a logged-in user within a test just add the `user` fixture to the test:
+Use the `user` fixture to get a logged-in user:

 ```typescript
 test("should do something", async ({ user }) => {
-    // user is a logged in user
+    // user is logged in and ready to use
 });
 ```

-You can specify a display name for the user via `test.use` `displayName`,
-otherwise a random one will be generated.
-This will register a random userId using the registrationSecret with a random password
-and the given display name. The user fixture will contain details about the credentials for if
-they are needed for User-Interactive Auth or similar but localStorage will already be seeded with them
-and the app loaded (path `/`).
+**Customize the user:**
+
+```typescript
+test.use({
+    displayName: "Alice",
+});
+
+test("should do something", async ({ user }) => {
+    // user is logged in as "Alice"
+});
+```
+
+**What the fixture does:**
+
+- Registers a random userId with the `registrationSecret`
+- Generates a random password (or uses specified display name)
+- Seeds localStorage with credentials
+- Loads the app at path `/`
+- Provides user details for User-Interactive Auth if needed

 ### Joining a Room

-Many tests will also want to start with the client in a room, ready to send & receive messages. Best
-way to do this may be to get an access token for the user and use this to create a room with the REST
-API before logging the user in.
-You can make use of the bot fixture and the `client` field on the app fixture to do this.
+To start with a user in a room:

-### Try to write tests from the users' perspective
+```typescript
+test("should send a message", async ({ user, app, bot }) => {
+    // Use the bot client to create a room
+    const roomId = await bot.createRoom({
+        name: "Test Room",
+        invite: [user.userId],
+    });

-Like for instance a user will not look for a button by querying a CSS selector.
-Instead, you should work with roles / labels etc, see https://playwright.dev/docs/locators.
+    // Accept the invite using the app client
+    await app.client.joinRoom(roomId);
+
+    // Now ready to test messaging
+});
+```
+
+**Best practice:** Use the REST API (via `bot` or `app.client`) to set up room state rather than driving the UI.

 ### Using matrix-js-sdk

-Due to the way we run the Playwright tests in CI, at this time you can only use the matrix-js-sdk module
-exposed on `window.matrixcs`. This has the limitation that it is only accessible with the app loaded.
-This may be revisited in the future.
+Due to CI constraints, use the matrix-js-sdk module exposed on `window.matrixcs`:

-## Good Test Hygiene
+```typescript
+const matrixcs = window.matrixcs;
+```

-This section mostly summarises general good Playwright testing practice, and should not be news to anyone
-already familiar with Playwright.
+**Limitation:** Only accessible when the app is loaded. This may be revisited in the future.

-1. Test a well-isolated unit of functionality. The more specific, the easier it will be to tell what's
-   wrong when they fail.
-1. Don't depend on state from other tests: any given test should be able to run in isolation.
-1. Try to avoid driving the UI for anything other than the UI you're trying to test. e.g. if you're
-   testing that the user can send a reaction to a message, it's best to send a message using a REST
-   API, then react to it using the UI, rather than using the element-web UI to send the message.
-1. Avoid explicit waits. Playwright locators & assertions will implicitly wait for the specified
-   element to appear and all assertions are retried until they either pass or time out, so you should
-   never need to manually wait for an element.
-    - For example, for asserting about editing an already-edited message, you can't wait for the
-      'edited' element to appear as there was already one there, but you can assert that the body
-      of the message is what is should be after the second edit and this assertion will pass once
-      it becomes true. You can then assert that the 'edited' element is still in the DOM.
-    - You can also wait for other things like network requests in the
-      browser to complete (https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-page#page-wait-for-response).
-      Needing to wait for things can also be because of race conditions in the app itself, which ideally
-      shouldn't be there!
+### Best Practices

-This is a small selection - the Playwright best practices guide, linked above, has more good advice, and we
-should generally try to adhere to them.
+For more guidance, see the [Playwright best practices guide](https://playwright.dev/docs/best-practices).

-## Screenshot testing
+#### 1. Test from the User's Perspective

-When we previously used Cypress we also dabbled with Percy, and whilst powerful it did not
-lend itself well to being executed on all PRs without needing to budget it substantially.
+Work with roles, labels, and accessible elements rather than CSS selectors:
+
+```typescript
+// Good
+await page.getByRole("button", { name: "Send" }).click();
+
+// Avoid
+await page.locator(".mx_MessageComposer_sendButton").click();
+```
+
+See <https://playwright.dev/docs/locators> for more guidance.
+
+#### 2. Test Well-Isolated Functionality
+
+- Focus on specific, well-defined units of functionality
+- Easier to debug when tests fail
+- More maintainable over time
+
+#### 3. Maintain Test Independence
+
+- Each test should run successfully in isolation
+- Don't depend on state from other tests
+- Clean up after your test if needed
+
+#### 4. Minimize UI Driving for Setup
+
+- Use REST APIs to set up test state when possible
+- Only drive the UI for the functionality you're actually testing
+
+**Example:**
+
+```typescript
+// Testing reactions - good approach
+test("should react to a message", async ({ page, app, bot }) => {
+    // Send message via API
+    const eventId = await bot.sendMessage(roomId, "Hello");
+
+    // Test the reaction UI
+    await page.getByText("Hello").hover();
+    await page.getByRole("button", { name: "React" }).click();
+    await page.getByLabel("😀").click();
+
+    // Verify reaction was sent
+    await expect(page.getByLabel("😀 1")).toBeVisible();
+});
+```
+
+#### 5. Avoid Explicit Waits
+
+Playwright locators and assertions automatically wait and retry:
+
+```typescript
+// Good - implicit waiting
+await expect(page.getByText("Message sent")).toBeVisible();
+
+// Avoid - explicit waits
+await page.waitForTimeout(1000);
+```
+
+**For dynamic content:**
+
+```typescript
+// Assert on the final state - Playwright will wait for it
+await expect(page.getByRole("textbox")).toHaveValue("Edited message");
+await expect(page.getByText("edited")).toBeVisible();
+```
+
+**When you do need to wait:**
+
+```typescript
+// Wait for network requests
+await page.waitForResponse("**/messages");
+
+// Wait for specific conditions
+await page.waitForFunction(() => window.matrixcs !== undefined);
+```
+
+## Visual Testing

 Playwright has built-in support for [visual comparison testing](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-snapshots).
-Screenshots are saved in `playwright/snapshots` and are rendered in a Linux Docker environment for stability.

-One must be careful to exclude any dynamic content from the screenshot, such as timestamps, avatars, etc,
-via the `mask` option. See the [Playwright docs](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-snapshots#masking).
+**Screenshot location:** `playwright/snapshots/`

-Some UI elements render differently between test runs, such as BaseAvatar when
-there is no avatar set, choosing a colour from the theme palette based on the
-hash of the user/room's Matrix ID. To avoid this creating flaky tests we inject
-some custom CSS, for this to happen we use the custom assertion `toMatchScreenshot`
-instead of the native `toHaveScreenshot`.
+**Rendering environment:** Linux Docker (for consistency across environments)

-If you are running Linux and are unfortunate that the screenshots are not rendering identically,
-you may wish to specify `--ignore-snapshots` and rely on Docker to render them for you.
+### Test Tag for Screenshots
+
+All screenshot tests must use the `@screenshot` tag:
+
+```typescript
+test("should render message list", { tag: "@screenshot" }, async ({ page }) => {
+    await expect(page).toMatchScreenshot("message-list.png");
+});
+```
+
+**Purpose of `@screenshot` tag:**
+
+- Allows running only screenshot tests via `test:playwright:screenshots`
+- Speeds up screenshot test runs and updates
+
+### Taking Screenshots
+
+Use the custom `toMatchScreenshot` assertion (not the native `toHaveScreenshot`):
+
+```typescript
+await expect(page).toMatchScreenshot("my-screenshot.png");
+```
+
+**Why a custom assertion?** We inject custom CSS to stabilize dynamic UI elements (e.g., BaseAvatar color selection based on Matrix ID hash).
+
+### Masking Dynamic Content
+
+Always mask dynamic content that changes between runs:
+
+```typescript
+await expect(page).toMatchScreenshot("chat.png", {
+    mask: [page.locator(".mx_MessageTimestamp"), page.locator(".mx_BaseAvatar")],
+});
+```
+
+Common elements to mask:
+
+- Timestamps
+- Avatars (when dynamic)
+- Animated elements
+- User-generated IDs
+
+See [Playwright masking docs](https://playwright.dev/docs/test-snapshots#masking) for more details.
+
+### Updating Screenshots
+
+This command runs only tests tagged with `@screenshot` in the Docker environment.
+When you need to update screenshot baselines (e.g., after intentional UI changes):
+
+```sh
+pnpm run test:playwright:screenshots
+```
+
+**Important:** Always use this command to update screenshots rather than running tests locally with `--update-snapshots`.
+
+**Why?** Screenshots must be rendered in a consistent Linux Docker environment because:
+
+- Font rendering differs between operating systems (macOS, Windows, Linux)
+- Subpixel rendering varies across systems
+- Browser rendering engines have platform-specific differences
+
+Using `test:playwright:screenshots` ensures screenshots are generated in the same Docker environment used in CI, preventing false failures due to rendering differences.

 ## Test Tags

-We use test tags to categorise tests for running subsets more efficiently.
+Test tags categorize tests for efficient subset execution.

- `@mergequeue`: Tests that are slow or flaky and cover areas of the app we update seldom, should not be run on every PR commit but will be run in the Merge Queue.
- `@screenshot`: Tests that use `toMatchScreenshot` to speed up a run of `test:playwright:screenshots`. A test with this tag must not also have the `@mergequeue` tag as this would cause false positives in the stale screenshot detection.
- `@no-$project`: Tests which are unsupported in $Project. These tests will be skipped when running in $Project.
+### Available Tags

-Anything testing Matrix media will need to have `@no-firefox` and `@no-webkit` as those rely on the service worker which
-has to be disabled in Playwright on Firefox & Webkit to retain routing functionality.
-Anything testing VoIP/microphone will need to have `@no-webkit` as fake microphone functionality is not available
-there at this time.
+- **`@mergequeue`**: Slow or flaky tests covering rarely-updated app areas
+    - Not run on every PR commit
+    - Run in the Merge Queue

-If you wish to run all tests in a PR, you can give it the label `X-Run-All-Tests`.
+- **`@screenshot`**: Tests using `toMatchScreenshot` for visual regression testing
+    - See the [Visual Testing](#visual-testing) section for detailed usage

-## Supporter container runtimes
+- **`@no-firefox`**: Tests unsupported in Firefox
+    - Automatically skipped in Firefox project
+    - Common reason: Service worker required (disabled in Playwright Firefox for routing)

-We use testcontainers to spin up various instances of Synapse, Matrix Authentication Service, and more.
-It supports Docker out of the box but also has support for Podman, Colima, Rancher, you just need to follow some instructions to achieve it:
-https://node.testcontainers.org/supported-container-runtimes/
+- **`@no-webkit`**: Tests unsupported in Webkit
+    - Automatically skipped in Webkit project
+    - Common reasons: Service worker required, microphone functionality unavailable

-If you are running under Colima, you may need to set the environment variable `TMPDIR` to `/tmp/colima` or a path
-within `$HOME` to allow bind mounting temporary directories into the Docker containers.
+### Running All Tests in a PR
+
+Add the `X-Run-All-Tests` label to your pull request to run all tests, including `@mergequeue` tests.
+
+## Supported Container Runtimes
+
+We use [testcontainers](https://node.testcontainers.org/) to manage Synapse, Matrix Authentication Service, and other service instances.
+
+**Supported runtimes:**
+
+- Docker (default, recommended)
+- Podman
+- Colima
+  See setup instructions: <https://node.testcontainers.org/supported-container-runtimes/>
+
+### Platform-Specific Configuration
+
+**Colima users:**
+
+If using Colima, you may need to set the `TMPDIR` environment variable to allow bind mounting temporary directories:
+
+```sh
+export TMPDIR=/tmp/colima
+# or
+export TMPDIR=$HOME/tmp
+```

 1. Add the variable inside the string. The syntax for variables is `%(variable)s`. Please note the _s_ at the end. The name of the variable has to match the previous used name.

 - You can use the special `count` variable to choose between multiple versions of the same string, in order to get the correct pluralization. E.g. `_t('You have %(count)s new messages', { count: 2 })` would show 'You have 2 new messages', while `_t('You have %(count)s new messages', { count: 1 })` would show 'You have one new message' (assuming a singular version of the string has been added to the translation file. See above). Passing in `count` is much preferred over having an if-statement choose the correct string to use, because some languages have much more complicated plural rules than english (e.g. they might need a completely different form if there are three things rather than two).
- If you want to translate text that includes e.g. hyperlinks or other HTML you have to also use tag substitution, e.g. `_t('<a>Click here!</a>', {}, { 'a': (sub) => <a>{sub}</a> })`. If you don't do the tag substitution you will end up showing literally '<a>' rather than making a hyperlink.

 - Translation 'smell test': If you have a string that does not begin with a capital letter (is not the start of a sentence) or it ends with e.g. ':' or a preposition (e.g. 'to') you should recheck that you are not trying to translate a partial sentence.
 - If you have multiple strings, that are almost identical, except some part (e.g. a word or two) it is still better to translate the full sentence multiple times. It may seem like inefficient repetition, but unlike programming where you try to minimize repetition, translation is much faster if you have many, full, clear, sentences to work with, rather than fewer, but incomplete sentence fragments.

+
+[Online storybook](https://shared-components-storybook.element.dev)
+
+Shared React components library for Element Web, Aurora, Element
+modules... This package provides opinionated UI components built on top of the
+[Compound Design System](https://compound.element.io) and [Compound
+Web](https://github.com/element-hq/compound-web). This is not a design system
+by itself, but rather a set of larger components.
+
+## Installation in a new project
+
+When adding this library to a new project, as well as installing
+`@element-hq/web-shared-components` as normal, you will also need to add
+[compound-web](https://github.com/element-hq/compound-web) as a peer
+dependency:
+
+```bash
+pnpm add @element-hq/web-shared-components
+pnpm add @vector-im/compound-web
+```
+
+(This avoids problems where we end up with different versions of compound-web in the
+top-level project and web-shared-components).
+
+## Usage
+
+### Basic Import
+
+Both JavaScript and CSS can be imported as follows:
+
+```javascript
+import { RoomListHeaderView, useViewModel } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+import "@element-hq/web-shared-components/dist/element-web-shared-components.css";
+```
+
+or in CSS file:
+
+```css
+@import url("@element-hq/web-shared-components");
+```
+
+### Using Components
+
+There are two kinds of components in this library:
+
+- _regular_ react component which doesn't follow specific pattern.
+- _view_ component(MVVM pattern).
+
+> [!TIP]
+> These components are available in the project storybook.
+
+#### Regular Components
+
+These components can be used directly by passing props. Example:
+
+```tsx
+import { Flex } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+function MyApp() {
+    return <Flex align="center" />;
+}
+```
+
+#### View (MVVM) Components
+
+These components follow the [MVVM pattern](../../docs/MVVM.md). A ViewModel
+instance should be provided as a prop.
+
+Here's a basic example:
+
+```jsx
+import { ViewExample } from "@element-hq/web-shared-components";
+
+function MyApp() {
+    const viewModel = new ViewModelExample();
+    return <ViewExample vm={viewModel} />;
+}
+```
+
+### Utilities
+
+#### Internationalization
+
+- `useI18n()` - Hook for translations
+- `I18nApi` - Internationalization API utilities
+
+#### Date & Time
+
+- `DateUtils` - Date formatting and manipulation
+- `humanize` - Human-readable time formatting
+
+#### Formatting
+
+- `FormattingUtils` - Text and data formatting utilities
+- `numbers` - Number formatting utilities
+
+## Development
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Node.js >= 20.0.0
+- pnpm => 10
+
+### Setup
+
+```bash
+# Install dependencies
+pnpm install
+
+# Build the library
+pnpm prepare
+```
+
+### Running Storybook
+
+```bash
+pnpm storybook
+```
+
+### Write components
+
+Most components should be written as [MVVM pattern](../../docs/MVVM.md) view
+components. See existing components for examples. The exceptions are low level
+components that don't need a view model.
+
+### Write Storybook Stories
+
+All components should have accompanying Storybook stories for documentation and visual testing. Stories are written in TypeScript using the [Component Story Format (CSF)](https://storybook.js.org/docs/api/csf).
+
+#### Story File Structure
+
+Place the story file next to the component with the `.stories.tsx` extension:
+
+```
+MyComponent/
+├── MyComponent.tsx
+├── MyComponent.module.css
+└── MyComponent.stories.tsx
+```
+
+#### Regular Component Stories
+
+For regular React components (non-MVVM), create stories by defining a meta object and story variations:
+
+```tsx
+import type { Meta, StoryObj } from "@storybook/react-vite";
+import { fn } from "storybook/test";
+import { MyComponent } from "./MyComponent";
+
+const meta = {
+    title: "Category/MyComponent",
+    component: MyComponent,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // Default args for all stories
+        label: "Default Label",
+        onClick: fn(), // Mock function for tracking interactions
+    },
+} satisfies Meta<typeof MyComponent>;
+
+export default meta;
+type Story = StoryObj<typeof meta>;
+
+// Default story uses the default args
+export const Default: Story = {};
+
+// Override specific args for variations
+export const WithCustomLabel: Story = {
+    args: {
+        label: "Custom Label",
+    },
+};
+
+export const Disabled: Story = {
+    args: {
+        disabled: true,
+    },
+};
+```
+
+#### MVVM Component Stories
+
+For MVVM components, create a wrapper component that uses `useMockedViewModel`:
+
+```tsx
+import React, { type JSX } from "react";
+import { fn } from "storybook/test";
+import type { Meta, StoryFn } from "@storybook/react-vite";
+import { MyComponentView, type MyComponentViewSnapshot, type MyComponentViewActions } from "./MyComponentView";
+import { useMockedViewModel } from "../../useMockedViewModel";
+
+// Combine snapshot and actions for easier typing
+type MyComponentProps = MyComponentViewSnapshot & MyComponentViewActions;
+
+// Wrapper component that creates a mocked ViewModel
+const MyComponentViewWrapper = ({ onAction, ...rest }: MyComponentProps): JSX.Element => {
+    const vm = useMockedViewModel(rest, {
+        onAction,
+    });
+    return <MyComponentView vm={vm} />;
+};
+
+export default {
+    title: "Category/MyComponentView",
+    component: MyComponentViewWrapper,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // Snapshot properties (state)
+        title: "Default Title",
+        isLoading: false,
+        // Action properties (callbacks)
+        onAction: fn(),
+    },
+} as Meta<typeof MyComponentViewWrapper>;
+
+const Template: StoryFn<typeof MyComponentViewWrapper> = (args) => <MyComponentViewWrapper {...args} />;
+
+export const Default = Template.bind({});
+
+export const Loading = Template.bind({});
+Loading.args = {
+    isLoading: true,
+};
+```
+
+Thanks to this approach, we can directly use primitives in the story arguments instead of a view model object.
+
+#### Linking Figma Designs
+
+This package uses [@storybook/addon-designs](https://github.com/storybookjs/addon-designs) to embed Figma designs directly in Storybook. This helps developers compare their implementation with the design specs.
+
+1. **Get the Figma URL**: Open your design in Figma, click "Share" → "Copy link"
+2. **Add to story parameters**: Include the `design` object in the meta's `parameters`
+3. **Supported URL formats**:
+    - File links: `https://www.figma.com/file/...`
+    - Design links: `https://www.figma.com/design/...`
+    - Specific node: `https://www.figma.com/design/...?node-id=123-456`
+
+Example with Figma integration:
+
+```tsx
+export default {
+    title: "Room List/RoomListSearchView",
+    component: RoomListSearchViewWrapper,
+    tags: ["autodocs"],
+    args: {
+        // ... your args
+    },
+    parameters: {
+        design: {
+            type: "figma",
+            url: "https://www.figma.com/design/vlmt46QDdE4dgXDiyBJXqp/ER-33-Left-Panel?node-id=98-1979",
+        },
+    },
+} as Meta<typeof RoomListSearchViewWrapper>;
+```
+
+The Figma design will appear in the "Design" tab in Storybook.
+
+#### Non-UI Utility Stories
+
+For utility functions, helpers, and other non-UI exports, create documentation stories using TSX format with TypeDoc-generated markdown.
+
+`src/utils/humanize.stories.tsx`
+
+```tsx
+import React from "react";
+import { Markdown } from "@storybook/addon-docs/blocks";
+
+import type { Meta } from "@storybook/react-vite";
+import humanizeTimeDoc from "../../typedoc/functions/humanizeTime.md?raw";
+
+const meta = {
+    title: "utils/humanize",
+    parameters: {
+        docs: {
+            page: () => (
+                <>
+                    <h1>humanize</h1>
+                    <Markdown>{humanizeTimeDoc}</Markdown>
+                </>
+            ),
+        },
+    },
+    tags: ["autodocs", "skip-test"],
+} satisfies Meta;
+
+export default meta;
+
+// Docs-only story - renders nothing but triggers autodocs
+export const Docs = {
+    render: () => null,
+};
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Be sure to include the `skip-test` tag in your utility stories to prevent them from running as visual tests.
+
+**Workflow:**
+
+1. Write TsDoc in your utility function
+2. Export the function from `src/index.ts`
+3. Run `pnpm build:doc` to generate TypeDoc markdown
+4. Create a `.stories.tsx` file importing the generated markdown
+5. The documentation appears automatically in Storybook
+
+### Tests
+
+Two types of tests are available: unit tests and visual regression tests.
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+These tests cover the logic of the components and utilities. Built with Vitest
+and React Testing Library.
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:unit
+```
+
+### Visual Regression Tests
+
+These tests ensure the UI components render correctly.
+Built with Storybook and run under vitest using playwright.
+
+```bash
+pnpm test:storybook:update
+```
+
+Each story will be rendered and a screenshot will be taken and compared to the
+existing baseline. If there are visual changes or AXE violation, the test will
+fail.
+
+Screenshots are located in `packages/shared-components/__vis__/`.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> In case of docker issues with Playwright, see [playwright EW documentation](https://github.com/element-hq/element-web/blob/develop/docs/playwright.md#supported-container-runtimes).
+
+### Translations
