## Summary

Two independent improvements to the Playwright E2E test suite.

---

### Part 1 — Sentinel audit fixes (original PR scope)

Fixes from the Sentinel audit review of PR #12358 (selector drift
stabilization).

- **Dead code removal**: delete `clickJobID()` from `logsPageEP.js`
(unreachable code containing `console.log`); remove unused `chromium`
import
- **Critical fix**: replace `console.log`/`console.error` in
`decryptLogSQL()` with `testLogger` equivalents
- **POM compliance**: replace raw `page.locator()` call in
`alerts-ui-operations.spec.js` `beforeEach` with
`pm.alertsPage.isIncidentsFeatureEnabled()`; add that method to
`alertsPage.js`
- **POM compliance**: move per-test `const pm = new PageManager(page)`
into `beforeEach` in `service-graph.spec.js`; replace raw
`page.waitForLoadState()` with
`pm.serviceGraphPage.waitForGraphReload()`; add `waitForGraphReload()`
to `serviceGraphPage.js`
- **Inline selector cleanup**: move metrics tab inline string literals
in `serviceGraphPage.js` into constructor properties
- **Tagging**: add
`@cipherKeys/@enterprise/@P1/@P2/@negative/@validation` to all 6 tests
in `cipherKeys.spec.js` (were untagged); add `@P1/@P2` to all 5 tests in
`regexPatternManagement.spec.js`
- **ESM fix**: correct `export const path = require('path')` → `import
path from 'path'` in `logoManagementPage.js`
- **Deduplication**: consolidate
`createFirstFunction`/`createSecondFunction` into shared
`createFunction(name, vrlCode)` in `pipelinesEP.js`

---

### Part 2 — Parallelize Metrics E2E shard

**Problem**: The `e2e / Metrics` CI shard was consistently the slowest
job at ~22 minutes per PR run, while all other shards complete in ~5-7
minutes.

**Root cause**: 9 of 11 Metrics spec files used
`test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })` because they shared a
describe-scope `let pm` variable reassigned in `beforeEach`. This forced
every test in those files onto a single Playwright worker, eliminating
all parallelism despite `fullyParallel: true` and 5 workers being
configured.

**Fix applied to all 9 affected files** (`metrics.spec.js`,
`metrics-config.spec.js`, `metrics-config-tabs.spec.js`,
`metrics-visualizations.spec.js`,
`metrics-promql-query-persistence.spec.js`,
`metrics-table-column-order.spec.js`, `metrics-queries.spec.js`,
`metrics-aggregations.spec.js`, `metrics-advanced.spec.js`):
- Remove `test.describe.configure({ mode: 'serial' })`
- Replace shared `let pm` + `beforeEach` pattern with a `setupTest(page,
testInfo)` helper that creates and returns a fresh `PageManager` per
test — the same pattern already used in `metrics-promql-builder.spec.js`
(the one file that was already parallel)
- `metrics-table-column-order.spec.js`: pass `pm` explicitly into
`setupTableChart(pm, page, mode)` since it can no longer close over a
describe-scope variable
- Split consolidated mega-tests (for-loops over multiple independent
scenarios) in `metrics-queries`, `metrics-aggregations`, and
`metrics-advanced` into individual `test()` blocks so Playwright can
distribute them across workers

**No test assertions, selectors, query logic, or validation changed.**

| File | Tests before | Tests after |
|---|---|---|
| `metrics.spec.js` | 10 (serial) | 10 (parallel) |
| `metrics-config.spec.js` | 2 (serial) | 2 (parallel) |
| `metrics-config-tabs.spec.js` | 3 (serial) | 3 (parallel) |
| `metrics-visualizations.spec.js` | 4 (serial) | 4 (parallel) |
| `metrics-promql-query-persistence.spec.js` | 6 (serial) | 6 (parallel)
|
| `metrics-table-column-order.spec.js` | 20 (serial) | 20 (parallel) |
| `metrics-queries.spec.js` | 4 mega-tests (serial) | 12 individual
(parallel) |
| `metrics-aggregations.spec.js` | 3 mega-tests (serial) | 10 individual
(parallel) |
| `metrics-advanced.spec.js` | 4 mega-tests (serial) | 12 individual
(parallel) |

**Expected impact**: ~1300s (~22 min) → ~300-400s (~5-7 min) wall-clock
time.

---

## Test plan
- [ ] All 40 tests in the 4 Sentinel-audit spec files enumerate cleanly
via `npx playwright test --list`
- [ ] Tag filters `@cipherKeys`, `@P2`, `@sdr` match expected tests
- [ ] All Metrics spec files enumerate cleanly with no serial mode
warnings
- [ ] Metrics shard CI time drops to ~5-7 min on next PR run
