🐞 Known Issues & Automation Limitations

❌ CAPTCHA Blocking Automation

• Issue: reCAPTCHA prevents Cypress from performing key UI flows
• Effect: Buttons hidden or intercepted
• Cause: reCAPTCHA's anti-bot system triggers on Cypress automation
• Status: Tests fail where CAPTCHA is involved; no workaround could be implemented.
