"""Phase 49 E2E (Playwright): retry the last answer (redo in place).
Source: ``TODO.md`` L4 — "Need a retry button to retry the last answer,
like a redo button" (no user story file — TODO-derived phase).
Run in isolation (DB must be up: ``podman compose up -d db``):
uv run pytest tests/e2e/test_retry_answer.py -v --no-cov
Mock-only, no admin login (chat is public — Retry is NOT admin-gated,
unlike Tune). The owner-locked contract (2026-08-29) under test:
* the LAST brain bubble (completed, deflected, or a phase-48 stopped
partial) carries the Retry button in its meta row; earlier brain
bubbles do not (``markLastRetryable`` is last-bubble-only);
* clicking Retry redoes the turn IN PLACE — the old answer leaves the
DOM and the persisted ``bor.chat.v1`` record (the pop is saved before
the rerun, so a crash never resurrects the replaced answer), the
preceding question is re-asked WITHOUT being duplicated, and the
fresh answer streams into the old bubble's place; the new bubble is
the new last and carries the Retry button;
* a stopped partial is the prime retry candidate: the redo replaces it
with a fresh ``done`` answer (no ``stopped`` marker, the full text —
the long answer's unique final line arrives);
* Retry is inert while a turn is in flight — no second turn starts, no
bubble or record duplication, the in-flight turn completes to its own
``done``.
Determinism: the mock quotes the asked question into its grounded
answer (ending in the ``Deterministic mock answer for E2E`` marker), the
deflection answer is a fixed honest phrase, and the long answer ("write
a long answer" trigger) streams ~900 words over ~8 s (12 chars / 0.02 s)
with a unique final line (``LONG-ANSWER-END``) absent from any partial.
OLD-vs-fresh bubble identity is proved with a test-only
``data-retry-marker`` attribute set on the old wrap before the click —
the mock answers are byte-stable, so a redo of the same question is
textually indistinguishable from the original and only the DOM element
(and the storage record) can prove the replacement.
