Summary

Adds automated smoke tests that verify the Nexus world renders and is interactive. No LLM required. Pure headless browser via Playwright.

Tests (17 total)

World Renders:

index.html loads without JS errors
Canvas element exists (Three.js rendered)
Canvas is not all black (scene has content)
WebGL context is healthy

Modules Load:

All ES modules resolve (no import errors)
Three.js loaded from CDN

HUD Elements:

Block height display, weather HUD, audio toggle, sovereignty message, oath overlay

Interactions:

Mouse movement updates camera (parallax)
Tab key toggles overview mode
Animation loop is running (20+ FPS)

Data Loading:

portals.json, sovereignty-status.json, style.css, manifest.json

Usage

./tests/run-smoke.sh              # Run all
./tests/run-smoke.sh --headed     # With visible browser
./tests/run-smoke.sh --grep HUD   # Specific group
