Notes for the Reviewer

Adds a new AI & Coding Agents section to the Learn Playwright sidebar with its first guide: Debugging with AI agents (/learn/playwright/debugging-with-ai-agents/).

The guide covers Playwright's text-first debugging toolchain for coding agents:

  • the error-context.md attachment on failed tests
  • terminal trace analysis with npx playwright trace (new in Playwright 1.59)
  • live debugging with --debug=cli and playwright-cli

It includes two YouTube shorts via the existing YoutubeCallout snippet, a Playwright inspector screenshot, and links out to the Playwright release notes. Terminal output and the error-context excerpt are modeled on real Playwright 1.59 output.

Related pages now link to the new guide: learn/playwright/debugging, learn/playwright/debugging-errors, guides/reading-traces, and guides/agentic-workflows.

Screenshots

New sidebar group "AI & Coding Agents" at the end of the Learn Playwright dropdown; inspector screenshot embedded in the --debug=cli section.

Mintlify moved preview deployments from *.mintlify.app to
*.mintlify.site, so the URL grep never matched and preview-checks
timed out on every PR despite the preview being ready.
The previous sitemap-only commit didn't trigger Mintlify's link-rot
and vale-spellcheck check runs, so docs-gate timed out waiting for
them.
