Overview of Changes

qawolf runner run --env-id <id-or-alias> gives a run the variables of a QA Wolf environment. QA Wolf reads and decrypts them itself, so the values never leave the server, nothing has to be pulled to disk first, and the caps that bound --env-file do not apply to them. That makes it the only way to run a flow whose environment holds something large, such as a session cookie.

The id is passed straight through, since environmentRef resolves an id or an alias on the platform. --env-id and --env-file each give the run its whole environment, so passing both is refused, as is a blank --env-id. Both refusals land before a runner is resolved, so a bad invocation is never answered with a billed pod.

Upgrades @qawolf/api-contracts to 0.34.0 (qawolf/platform#32307), which also raises the cap on a variable a run sends itself from 8 KiB to 16 KiB.

That upgrade skips 0.33.0, so three runner.* contracts arrive at once. runner.inspectMobile broke bun run generate outright: its request field is a union with no flag shape, so the generator threw rather than minting a command. runner.highlightSelector and runner.promoteSnapshot generated silently, in camelCase beside runner import-package. skippedContracts.ts already claims the whole runner.* family and says a contract whose command lands later should be absent rather than generated in a shape the group does not match, so all three are skipped and the two usable ones are hand-written:

  • qawolf runner highlight-selector [selector] draws on the live page so the next screenshot shows what a selector matches, and clears when the selector is omitted. A selector the page parsed but that matched nothing exits 0 with the count; one it could not parse exits 2, since that one is the caller's to fix.
  • qawolf runner promote-snapshot --screenshot <path> --baseline <path> accepts a run's screenshot as the new baseline for an image diff. Both paths are named rather than positional, because reversing them promotes the wrong image.

Testing

bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run format:check
bun run knip
bun run test

1852 tests pass. runFlow.environment.test.ts covers --env-id sending environmentId and no env, the value being trimmed, and both refusals landing before callPublicApi is reached. highlightSelector.test.ts and promoteSnapshot.test.ts cover every outcome arm of their contracts, including the empty and invalid selector split. runEnvironment.test.ts now pins the cap at 16 KiB from both sides.

The help snapshot gains the two commands; the rest of its diff is Commander re-wrapping a widened column. interact.register.ts hit the repo's 150-line lint cap, so highlight-selector lives in its own register file.

Walkthrough

The CLI adds runner highlight-selector and runner promote-snapshot commands. Selector highlighting supports clearing, match reporting, invalid selectors, and runner failure handling. Snapshot promotion accepts screenshot and baseline paths from runner events. Runner runs now support --env-id, validate it locally, reject simultaneous --env-file, and forward the environment ID in the request. Dotenv limits increase to 200 variables and 16 KiB values.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1ae52

The PR adds environment-backed runs and two runner commands, with the supplied checks covering the changed behavior. Remaining issues are limited to release-note notation and duplicated wording, neither of which creates a merge-blocking product or production risk.
