 - [x] Fixed fresh SQLite/MySQL startup ordering so the migration-owned UI-language column is not pre-created by schema reconciliation, then proved the full fresh-database path in Playwright.
 - [x] Visually verified the revised builder at 375 px, 768 px, and 1440 px in light/dark mode, including multiple expanded sections, add-content focus return, Customize/AI surfaces, responsive overflow, multi-page preview and searchable PDF export.
 - [x] Updated the full browser suite for the consolidated Workspace and revised Builder controls, then fixed CV creation to atomically persist the document and initial history revision under concurrent autosave load; all 10 Playwright flows pass.
+- [x] Moved CI Playwright verification from the runner-fragile Turbopack development server to the production static build and tightened ambiguous workspace field locators.
 - [x] Rechecked branch/status, recent CV work, existing tests/build tooling, and current builder architecture.
 - [x] Traced builder persistence, shared preview/PDF rendering, AI endpoint, extraction pipeline, confidence/diff review, and reference CV assets.
 - [x] Rendered and inspected the supplied two-page reference PDF and reviewed its HTML typography/theme tokens without modifying the originals.
