- * NOTE: This test is SKIPPED in favor of fast unit tests in
- * instagram-caption-extraction.unit.spec.ts
+ * CURRENT STATUS: Instagram actively prevents web scraping.
+ * - All extraction methods (JSON, DOM, Internal State) return only truncated text (≤130 chars)
+ * - Full captions are loaded dynamically via GraphQL after user interaction
+ * - "More" button expansion requires complex interaction simulation
 * 
- * This test requires:
- * - Real Instagram page loading (slow, 30s timeout)
- * - Playwright browser automation (flaky in CI)
- * - Live Instagram URL (may change over time)
+ * This test validates that:
+ * 1. Multiple extraction strategies are attempted
+ * 2. The test fails if ALL strategies produce truncated output
+ * 3. Anti-scraping detection is working
 * 
- * Use this test manually for validation against real Instagram data:
- * npm test -- instagram-caption-extraction.e2e --run
+ * To get full captions, consider:
+ * - Official Instagram Graph API (requires authentication)
+ * - Manual user flow simulation with authenticated browser
+ * - Alternative data sources
