Task 02: GitLab Contextual Linking E2E

Acceptance

• Desktop E2E proves an unlinked task has no generic top-bar link action and can link an MR through right-click Link > GitLab Merge Request.
• Mobile E2E proves the visible Task actions ellipsis exposes the same nested action, opens the link dialog, and does not rely on right-click or long press.
• The desktop flow proves the linked-MR status control appears after linking and survives reload; mobile menu surfaces remain viewport-contained with touch-sized rows and no document horizontal overflow.

Files Likely Touched

• apps/web/e2e/tests/gitlab/gitlab-parity.spec.ts
• apps/web/e2e/tests/gitlab/mobile-gitlab-parity.spec.ts
• Optional focused page-object helper under apps/web/e2e/pages/ only when it removes repeated stable selectors.

Dependencies

• 01-frontend-link-menu

Inputs

• Spec contextual-link/top-bar scenarios.
• Plan E2E Tests and Mobile design contract sections.
• Existing manual-link section in gitlab-parity.spec.ts.
• Existing mobile task-actions geometry coverage in apps/web/e2e/tests/task/mobile-sidebar-task-actions.spec.ts and nested-link coverage in apps/web/e2e/tests/task/mobile-external-link-menu.spec.ts.

Implementation Notes

• Follow /e2e, /tdd, and /mobile-parity; do not spawn subagents.
• Confirm the updated test fails for the expected missing menu action before relying on the implementation.
• Use the managed pnpm e2e:run runner so production frontend assets are rebuilt before the tests execute.
• Update only this task file's status. Do not edit plan.md.

Verification

cd apps/web && pnpm e2e:run tests/gitlab/gitlab-parity.spec.ts tests/gitlab/mobile-gitlab-parity.spec.ts

Verification Status

The targeted desktop and mobile GitLab Playwright scenarios pass (6/6). Desktop and mobile screenshots were validated, along with mobile menu touch targets and viewport containment. Aggregate format, typecheck, unit, and lint checks pass, and aggregate tests pass with TMPDIR=/tmp.

Output Contract

Report changed E2E scenarios, the exact command and result, rendered desktop and phone observations, failure artifact paths if any, blockers, and residual risks. Set this task to in_progress before changes and done only after both desktop and mobile acceptance criteria pass.
