Manual-Only Verifications

Behavior	Requirement	Why Manual	Test Instructions
TOTP QR code renders and scans correctly	AUTH-03	Requires a physical authenticator app (Google Auth / Authy)	1. Register + login; 2. GET /api/auth/totp/setup; 3. Open provisioning_uri in authenticator app; 4. Verify 6-digit code is accepted by POST /api/auth/totp/enable
Email delivery (SMTP)	AUTH-05, ADMIN-03	Requires live SMTP server	Configure SMTP_* env vars; trigger password reset; verify email arrives with correct reset link
Admin panel browser rendering	ADMIN-01..05	Vue component visual contract	Start dev server; log in as admin; verify all three tabs render correctly per UI-SPEC
httpOnly cookie SameSite=Strict	SEC-01	Browser DevTools required	Log in via browser; open DevTools → Application → Cookies; verify refresh_token is HttpOnly + SameSite=Strict
