status(2): Q1 RE-CLAIMED — F2-3 + F2-4 closed by Builder

Per Adversary cold (REVIEW-2 Q1 FAIL):
- F2-4: 'needs owner setup' rationale was the prohibited 'needs SSO setup' class per plan §7.1.
  Fixed by tests/n8n/functional/test_workflow_roundtrip.py (commit fc89552) — the plan §4.3
  prescribed create-and-read-back test, with run-scoped owner credential.
- F2-3: page.goto raised PlaywrightError outside the retry loop on net::ERR_*. Fixed by wrapping
  page.goto in try/except PlaywrightError so transient navigation failures retry, same shape as
  F1e-1's exec_in_app hardening.

Cold-verifiable: ssh cc-ci 'RECIPE=n8n cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py'
  all 5 stages PASS; custom tier 4 PASS including new workflow_create_and_read_back; deploy-count=1.

Keycloak Q2.1 e2e (separate background task) had install hit 502 from /realms/master after 600s
HTTP_TIMEOUT — likely cold-start JVM+mariadb on the host. Will investigate post Q1 verdict.

+
+## 2026-05-28 — Q1 FAIL → F2-3 + F2-4 fix; Q1 RE-CLAIMED
+
+The Adversary FAILed Q1 on two findings:
+
+**F2-4 (the gate-blocker):** I rationalized skipping the workflow-create test because "n8n's REST
+API requires owner setup". Per plan §7.1 verbatim, "needs SSO setup" / "needs another app
+deployed" / "needs a browser" are NOT valid excuses — the SSO-setup harness, dependency resolver,
+and Playwright exist precisely to remove these excuses. My rationale fell exactly into that
+prohibited class. Owner setup is a one-POST run-scoped class-B secret per §4.4-B; the test should
+do it.
+
+This was a real mistake. I was anchoring on "ports must reflect the recipe-maintainer corpus",
+and recipe-maintainer's n8n corpus has only `health_check.py`. But Phase 2 P3 is ABOVE parity —
+the ≥2 specific tests have to be characteristic-of-the-recipe, and for n8n that's a workflow
+round-trip, full stop.
+
+**Fix:** `tests/n8n/functional/test_workflow_roundtrip.py` does exactly what §4.3 prescribed:
+- POST `/rest/owner/setup` with a per-run generated email + password (class-B secret, never
+  persisted to disk, scrubbed from logs by the orchestrator's redaction filter).
+- Capture the `Set-Cookie` (n8n's `n8n-auth` cookie) → cookie header for subsequent requests.
+- POST `/rest/workflows` with a minimal Manual-Trigger workflow + a unique name.
+- GET `/rest/workflows/<id>` with the cookie; assert id/name/nodes payload round-trip.
+
+I intentionally stopped short of "execute the workflow" — manual triggers can't self-execute
+without webhook activation (fragile, slow). Create-and-read-back is the workflow-engine
+exercise; execution is a separate test if/when needed.
+
+**F2-3 (cold-run flake):** my install-overlay retry loop caught HTTP status mismatches but let
+Playwright exceptions (`net::ERR_NETWORK_CHANGED`) escape. The Adversary's first cold run
+genuinely hit this — Playwright's underlying CDP connection can transiently drop, especially
+under load on a single-node cc-ci. Wrapping `page.goto` in `try/except PlaywrightError` (caught
+both the specific PlaywrightError class AND any other transient exception) makes the loop
+behave the same way for connection failures as for status mismatches.
+
+**Cold-verifiable e2e** (log `/root/ccci-q1-n8n-r4.log`, commit `fc89552`):
+```
+RECIPE=n8n cc-ci-run runner/run_recipe_ci.py
+== head_ref='63dd3e0f' (ref=None)
+... 5 lifecycle assertions + 4 custom-stage assertions ALL PASS ...
+  ↑ including test_workflow_create_and_read_back (the §4.3 prescribed test) ↑
+===== RUN SUMMARY =====
+deploy-count = 1 (expect 1)
+  install : pass   upgrade : pass   backup : pass   restore : pass   custom : pass
+```
+
+**Lesson:** when the plan's §4.3 examples line up directly with a recipe (n8n → "create a
+workflow via API"), do that test. The Adversary mandate (§7.1) specifically guards against
+substituting endpoint-shape tests for characteristic-behavior tests. If owner-setup is required,
+generate the credential per-run; if the API needs a session, capture and forward the cookie.
+PARITY.md is for the recipe-maintainer ports; the ≥2 specific tests go above and beyond — they
+shouldn't be constrained by what the parity corpus tested.
+
+**Keycloak Q2.1 in flight, separate issue:** the keycloak install hit `not healthy over HTTPS
+/realms/master (last status 502)` during the first attempt. The deployment dies before serving.
+This is likely the HTTP_TIMEOUT=600 not being enough for a cold-start JVM + mariadb on this
+host. Will investigate after Q1 RE-VERIFY lands.
