Known Limitations

6 tests are skipped due to known limitations:

• jQuery UI Drag & Drop (2 tests): jQuery UI uses mouse events API, Playwright uses HTML5 Drag & Drop API - these are incompatible
• Popup Window Tracking (4 tests): Async event timing with window.open() requires improvements in Playwright PHP event handling
