+/**
+ * Playwright E2E for context-menu → delete confirm flow.
+ * Regression test for the portal/race bug fixed in PR #1133:
+ * clicking "Delete" in the context menu did nothing because the
+ * portal-rendered ConfirmDialog was closed by the menu's outside-click
+ * handler before onConfirm could fire.
+ *
+ * The fix hoists dialog state to the canvas store via `setPendingDelete`,
+ * which survives ContextMenu unmount. This test exercises the full
+ * interaction in a real browser environment.
+ *
+ * Requires: platform on :8080, canvas on :3000.
