+# Playwright Test Sharding Strategy
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the optimized sharding strategy for Playwright tests to achieve balanced execution times across parallel CI jobs.
+
+## Problem
+
+The original naive sharding approach (dividing tests equally by file count) resulted in imbalanced execution times:
+- Shard 5 (chromium): 9 minutes
+- Other shards: 2-6 minutes
+
+This was due to `interaction.spec.ts` containing 61 tests with 81 screenshot comparisons, making it significantly heavier than other test files.
+
+## Solution
+
+### 1. Weighted Test Distribution
+
+Tests are assigned weights based on:
+- Number of test cases
+- Screenshot comparisons (heavy operations)
+- Test complexity (DOM manipulation, async operations)
+- Historical execution time
+
+### 2. Optimized Shard Configuration
+
+The sharding configuration uses a greedy algorithm to distribute tests:
+1. Sort tests by weight (heaviest first)
+2. Assign each test to the shard with lowest total weight
+3. Result: ~4.5% imbalance vs. previous 80% imbalance
+
+### 3. Project-Specific Sharding
+
+- **chromium**: 5 shards with optimized distribution
+- **chromium-2x, chromium-0.5x**: No sharding (fast enough)
+- **mobile-chrome**: No sharding (fast enough)
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Generated Configuration
+
+Run `pnpm test:browser:optimize-shards` to regenerate the shard configuration based on current test weights.
+
+### Files
+
+- `shardConfig.generated.ts`: Auto-generated shard assignments
+- `playwright-sharded.config.ts`: Playwright config using optimized shards
+- `scripts/optimizeSharding.js`: Script to analyze and optimize distribution
+
+### CI Configuration
+
+The GitHub workflow uses a matrix strategy with explicit shard configurations:
+
+```yaml
+matrix:
+  include:
+    - browser: chromium
+      shard: 1
+      shard-total: 5
+    # ... etc
+```
+
+## Shard Distribution (Balanced)
+
+| Shard | Weight | Key Tests |
+|-------|--------|-----------|
+| 1 | 225 | interaction.spec.ts (heavy screenshots) |
+| 2 | 220 | subgraph.spec.ts, workflows, primitives |
+| 3 | 225 | widget.spec.ts, nodeLibrary, templates |
+| 4 | 215 | nodeSearchBox, rightClickMenu, colorPalette |
+| 5 | 215 | dialog, groupNode, remoteWidgets |
+
+## Monitoring
+
+After deployment, monitor CI execution times to ensure shards remain balanced. If new heavy tests are added, re-run the optimization script.
+
+## Maintenance
+
+1. When adding new heavy tests, update `TEST_WEIGHTS` in `optimizeSharding.js`
+2. Run `pnpm test:browser:optimize-shards`
+3. Commit the updated `shardConfig.generated.ts`
+
+## Expected Results
+
+- All chromium shards complete in 3-4 minutes (vs. 2-9 minutes)
+- Total CI time reduced from 9 minutes to ~4 minutes
+- Better resource utilization in CI runners
