+## SESSION 27 SUMMARY — Phase 3 Task 8: Frontend E2E Test for AI Extraction + Auto-Photo-Save Flow
+
+### What Was Done
+
+**Phase 3 Task 8: Comprehensive E2E test validating complete user flow — COMPLETE ✅**
+
+1. ✅ **Created comprehensive E2E test file** `frontend/e2e/workflows/7-ai-extraction-autosave.spec.ts`
+   - 327 lines of test code
+   - 6 complete test scenarios covering happy path and error handling
+   - Follows established E2E testing patterns from existing workflow tests
+
+2. ✅ **Test Scenarios Implemented**
+   - **Test 1: Auto-save photo after successful AI identification**
+     - Navigate → Capture → Extract → Create item → Verify photo in inventory → Open modal → Verify full-res image
+     - Validates: extracted data shown, item created, success toast, photo URL valid, modal displays correctly
+   
+   - **Test 2: Photo metadata in inventory after auto-save**
+     - Create item with photo → Navigate to inventory → Verify thumbnail displays → Verify photo indicator/icon
+     - Validates: Photo column shows correct visual indication
+   
+   - **Test 3: Graceful failure when photo upload fails**
+     - Mock photo upload endpoint to fail → Create item → Verify item created successfully → Verify no critical error
+     - Validates: Photo save failure doesn't block item creation (graceful degradation)
+   
+   - **Test 4: Preserve photo when item data is edited**
+     - Create item with photo → Edit item details → Save → Verify photo still exists
+     - Validates: Photo persists across item updates
+   
+   - **Test 5: Photo displays with correct dimensions**
+     - Create item → Open photo modal → Verify image rendered → Check bounding box dimensions
+     - Validates: Image properly sized, not distorted
+   
+   - **Test 6: No duplicate photos per item**
+     - Create item → Navigate to inventory → Count photo thumbnails → Verify max 1
+     - Validates: No photo duplication in UI
+
+3. ✅ **Test Coverage Details**
+   - Happy path (success flow): 4 tests ✅
+   - Error handling (graceful failure): 1 test ✅
+   - Data integrity (photo preservation): 1 test ✅
+   - UI correctness (dimensions, no duplicates): 2 tests ✅
+
+4. ✅ **Key Test Validations**
+   - Photo thumbnail visibility and clickability
+   - Modal opening/closing behavior
+   - Image source URL format validation
+   - Toast message verification
+   - Navigation to inventory after creation
+   - Photo metadata (dimensions, bounding box)
+   - Graceful handling of photo upload failures
+   - Item creation success despite photo save failures
+   - Photo preservation after item edits
+
+5. ✅ **Test Infrastructure**
+   - Uses established fixtures: `auth`, `assertions`, `helpers`, `LOCAL_USERS`
+   - Follows existing E2E patterns from `3-ai-extraction.spec.ts`, `4-admin-settings.spec.ts`
+   - Mocks API endpoints as needed
+   - Proper timeout handling for async operations
+   - Clean test isolation with `beforeEach` setup
+
