+# US01-07 — Automate Phase A End-to-End Acceptance
+
+Epic: [E01](../E01-shared-identity-inventory.md)
+
+As a delivery owner, I want reproducible Phase A end-to-end tests so identity,
+inventory, duplicates, and thumbnails cannot regress unnoticed.
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+
+- The harness launches the real API and worker with a fresh database and deterministic
+  temporary fixture library.
+- Journeys cover scan, exclusion, move reconciliation, exact/fuzzy duplicate review,
+  thumbnail orientation, canonical selection, reload, and full process restart.
+- API and durable database state are asserted after restart.
+- Story IDs US01-01 through US01-06 map to passing automated tests.
+
+## Automated tests
+
+- One documented command runs Phase A API and Playwright suites without network access.
+- CI retains diagnostics on failure and rejects skipped, flaky, or unexercised fixtures.
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- US01-01 through US01-06
