Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tcoe-playwright-example copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Copilot Instructions for HMCTS Playwright Template

Architecture Overview

This is an HMCTS Playwright test automation template following Page Object Model (POM) with hierarchical component structure:

  • Base class (playwright-e2e/page-objects/base.ts) - Provides common components to all pages via composition
  • Components (playwright-e2e/page-objects/components/) - Reusable UI sections (headers, case lists) shared across pages
  • Pages (playwright-e2e/page-objects/pages/) - Full page implementations extending Base
  • Fixtures (playwright-e2e/fixtures.ts) - Dependency injection system for pages and utilities
  • Utils (playwright-e2e/utils/) - Focused utility classes (validators, config, cookie handlers)

Key Patterns & Conventions

Test Organization

  • Tests tagged for selective execution: @a11y, @performance, @visual, @smoke, @exui, @cui
  • Global setup/teardown (global.setup.ts, global.teardown.ts) handles authentication and session management
  • Performance tests require @performance tag AND lighthousePage fixture (chromium only)
  • Always import from centralized fixtures: import { test, expect } from "../fixtures" (never from @playwright/test)

Fixture-Based Dependency Injection

// Fixtures provide pre-configured page objects and utilities
test("example", async ({ exuiCaseListPage, axeUtils, config, idamPage }) => {
  // All dependencies injected automatically - no manual instantiation
  await exuiCaseListPage.goto();
  await axeUtils.audit();
});

User & Session Management

  • Global setup creates sessions for user roles (caseManager, judge) stored in .sessions/
  • Use test.use({ storageState: config.users.caseManager.sessionFile }) to select session
  • Dynamic citizen users: await citizenUserUtils.createUser() returns ephemeral credentials
  • IDAM tokens via idamUtils.generateIdamToken() for API operations
  • Session validation: SessionUtils.isSessionValid(sessionFile, cookieName) avoids re-authentication

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
