Loading

Visual regression note: The Scalprum-based frontend shell does not complete initialization in headless CI when dynamic-plugins-root/ is empty. After guest sign-in, the Scalprum framework attempts to load module-federation manifests from undefined URLs (due to absent dynamic plugins), causing afterInit to never resolve and static routes like /catalog to remain blank. This is a pre-existing CI environment limitation, not a regression from these updates. Backend API confirmed 5 catalog entities and 3 API entities available at time of test.

Manual attention required

• The visual regression test is not functional in this CI environment when dynamic-plugins-root/ is empty. The Scalprum frontend requires at least the global header dynamic plugin to initialize the shell before static routes render. Consider pre-populating dynamic-plugins-root/ with the minimum required plugins in the CI environment to enable visual regression.
