Add 9lives to UI Testing

[Desperado]

Summary

Adds 9lives to the UI Testing section — an MIT-licensed Python CLI (pip install 9lives, Python >= 3.10) that repairs UI tests whose locators have drifted.

For Python users it runs your own pytest + Selenium:

9l heal tests/test_checkout.py

It runs the failing spec, classifies the failure, repairs the selector offline from the failure-time page snapshot (no LLM, no network, no account required), re-runs it, and shows a unified diff before applying anything.

It deliberately refuses to rewrite failing assertions — a changed assertion means the application's behaviour changed, not that a selector moved — so it will not mask a real regression to force a green run.

• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/9lives/
• Source: https://github.com/Quality-Max/9lives (MIT)

Entry placed first in the UI Testing section, ahead of Agent QA, per digit-before-letter ordering. Branch is rebased on current main, so the diff is a single line.

Context

This replaces #104, which you closed on 2026-08-03. That one proposed QualityMax, a commercial hosted platform. Reading your reasoning on #72 ("I won't include commercial SAAS applications in this list"), that was the wrong submission for this list — so this proposes our open-source package instead.

If it is still not a fit, a one-line "no" is genuinely useful and I won't resubmit.

Disclosure: 9lives is maintained by the QualityMax team; I'm submitting on their behalf.

Summary by Sourcery
