Owner

Run natively, each Obsidian window the multi-vault suite opens takes the Mac's keyboard focus, so the machine cannot be used during a run. Electron has no headless mode. This adds packages/e2e/run-in-container.sh (pnpm e2e), which runs the same suite in Debian under Xvfb. That is CI's setup, so the UI is still rendered and driven for real.

packages/e2e/container/Dockerfile: Node 26 (pinned by digest), pnpm 12.5.1, and CI's apt list plus what the slim image lacks.
The checkout is mounted read-only and rsynced into a work volume, so the host's darwin node_modules are never touched. Uncommitted edits are included.
The fixed container name acts as a per-checkout lock, and the container has its own network namespace.
CLAUDE.md and the e2e README make the container the local default. test:e2e:multi is unchanged: it still runs natively, and CI calls it directly.

Verified locally: two-vaults.test.ts passed 10/10 in the container with no test Obsidian processes on the host. Breaking one assertion made the script exit 1, which also shows uncommitted edits reach the container. A second run from the same checkout was refused. The full suite passed in 370 s (147 passed, 2 skipped, the opt-in PROBE=1 probe), including first-run setup. pnpm test, pnpm -r typecheck and pnpm lint are green.

Not covered in the container, and stated in the README: the macOS keychain path in secret-storage.test.ts, which degrades exactly as on CI.

Run natively, every Obsidian window the multi-vault suite opens takes the
Mac's keyboard focus, so the machine cannot be used until the run ends.
Electron has no headless mode. run-in-container.sh runs the same suite
in Debian under Xvfb, which is CI's setup, so real UI is still rendered
and driven without reaching the Mac's display.

`pnpm e2e` is now the default for a local run. `test:e2e:multi` is
unchanged and still runs natively, for the macOS keychain path and any
other claim about macOS. CI keeps calling it directly.
