+### [Planner] Research Notes - RECIPE-0005 (2026-02-17)
+
+**Task:** Fix Playwright Docker dependencies and create LMStudio integration for E2E testing
+
+#### Playwright Alpine Linux Docker Integration - RECIPE-0005
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-17  
+**Source:** FINDINGS.md (RECIPE-0003), Dockerfile analysis, browser.ts, Playwright documentation
+
+**Problem Analysis:**
+- Container fails with: "Executable doesn't exist at /root/.cache/ms-playwright/chromium_headless_shell-1208/"
+- Alpine Linux uses musl libc, Playwright's bundled browsers require glibc
+- Current Dockerfile installs system chromium via `apk add chromium` but browser.ts doesn't specify executable path
+- Playwright API defaults to searching for its own bundled browser binary (not present)
+
+**Solution (Already Researched in RECIPE-0003):**
+Configure Playwright to use system chromium installed by Alpine APK:
+
+```typescript
+// src/lib/server/browser.ts - initializeBrowser()
+browser = await chromium.launch({
+  executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser',  // System chromium path
+  headless: true,
+  args: [
+    '--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled',
+    '--disable-dev-shm-usage',
+    '--no-sandbox',
+    '--disable-setuid-sandbox',
+    '--disable-gpu'
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+**Files to Modify:**
+- `src/lib/server/browser.ts` - Add `executablePath: '/usr/bin/chromium-browser'` to launch options
+
+**No Changes Needed:**
+- Dockerfile already has `chromium` and fonts installed correctly
+- No need for `npx playwright install` (would fail on Alpine anyway)
+
+---
+
+#### LMStudio Docker Networking - RECIPE-0005
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-17  
+**Source:** Docker networking documentation, LMStudio API patterns, OpenAI-compatible endpoints
+
+**Problem:**
+- LMStudio runs on host at `http://localhost:1234`
+- Docker containers have isolated networking - `localhost` inside container != host `localhost`
+- Container needs to access host services
+
+**Docker Networking Solutions:**
+
+**Option A - network_mode: host (Recommended for LMStudio):**
+```yaml
+services:
+  app:
+    network_mode: host
+```
+- Container shares host network stack
+- `localhost:1234` inside container = host's `localhost:1234`
+- **Trade-off**: Loses container network isolation, port mapping ignored
+- **Best for**: Local development/testing with host services
+
+**Option B - extra_hosts (Alternative):**
+```yaml
+services:
+  app:
+    extra_hosts:
+      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"
+    environment:
+      - OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://host.docker.internal:1234/v1
+```
+- Works on Docker Desktop (Mac/Windows) and Linux with Docker 20.10+
+- Maintains container network isolation
+- **Trade-off**: Requires changing OPENAI_BASE_URL from localhost
+
+**Chosen Approach:** network_mode: host
+- **Rationale**: Simplest for local LMStudio integration, no URL changes needed
+- Tool mandate specifies "http://localhost:1234" must work
+- Matches requirement for local development/testing setup
+
+---
+
+#### LMStudio + Gemma 3 Configuration - RECIPE-0005
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-17  
+**Source:** .env.example, llm.ts, prompt.yaml tool mandates
+
+**Current Configuration:**
+```env
+OPENAI_BASE_URL=http://localhost:1234/v1
+OPENAI_API_KEY=your-api-key-here
+LLM_MODEL=google/gemma-3-4b
+```
+
+**LMStudio API Compatibility:**
+- LMStudio provides OpenAI-compatible endpoint at `/v1`
+- Uses same API client: openai@^4.20.0
+- Model identifiers match LMStudio's loaded model names
+- API key can be any non-empty value (LMStudio doesn't validate in local mode)
+
+**Model Availability Check:**
+From prior research (RECIPE-0001), `llm.ts` already implements:
+- `checkModelAvailability(model: string)` - verifies model loaded via `client.models.list()`
+- Returns available models if specified model not found
+- User must manually load model in LMStudio UI before running container
+
+**No Code Changes Needed:**
+- LLM integration already OpenAI-compatible
+- Model check already implemented
+- Only need environment variable configuration
+
+---
+
+#### Docker Compose Complete Configuration - RECIPE-0005
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-17  
+**Source:** docker-compose.yml, .env.example, queueConfig, tandoorConfig
+
+**Required Changes:**
+1. Add `network_mode: host` for LMStudio access
+2. Update LLM_MODEL default to `google/gemma-3-4b`
+3. Update .env.example defaults to match tool mandates
+
+**Current docker-compose.yml:**
+- Already has all environment variables configured
+- Already has `./secrets:/app/secrets` volume mount
+- Already has healthcheck configured
+- Already has `seccomp=unconfined` for Chromium
+
+**Port Mapping with network_mode: host:**
+- `ports:` section ignored when using `network_mode: host`
+- App will bind directly to host port 3000
+- No conflicts expected (LMStudio uses 1234, app uses 3000, Tandoor external)
+
+---
+
+#### End-to-End Testing Strategy - RECIPE-0005
+**Research Date:** 2026-02-17  
+**Source:** Test URL from prompt, queue system architecture
+
+**Test URL:** https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP6oN7JCEo8/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet
+
+**Testing Workflow:**
+1. Build Docker image: `docker-compose build`
+2. Start container: `docker-compose up`
+3. Verify LMStudio loaded Gemma 3 model: `http://localhost:1234/v1/models`
+4. Verify app health: `http://localhost:3000/api/health`
+5. Verify LLM health: `http://localhost:3000/api/llm-health`
+6. Enqueue test URL: `POST http://localhost:3000/api/queue`
+7. Monitor progress: `GET http://localhost:3000/api/queue/stream`
+8. Verify extraction succeeds with Gemma 3
+9. Check Tandoor upload (if configured)
+
+**Success Indicators:**
+- Chromium launches without "Executable doesn't exist" error
+- LLM health check passes
+- Extraction phase completes successfully
+- Recipe parsing succeeds with Gemma 3
+- All existing tests pass (`npm test`)
+
+---
+
+#### Files Summary - RECIPE-0005

+2. `docker-compose.yml` - Add network_mode: host, update LLM_MODEL default
+3. `.env.example` - Update LLM_MODEL default to google/gemma-3-4b
+
+**No Changes:**
+- `Dockerfile` - Already correct (chromium + fonts installed)
+- `src/lib/server/llm.ts` - Already OpenAI-compatible
+- `src/lib/server/queue/config.ts` - Already reads env vars correctly
+- Test files - All existing tests should pass
+
+**Testing:**

+- All unit tests must pass
+
+**Dependencies:**
+- User must have LMStudio running on host at localhost:1234
+- User must manually load google/gemma-3-4b model in LMStudio
+- Secrets volume must exist for Instagram auth (optional)
