+/**
+ * Basic smoke tests for Storybook stories.
+ *
+ * This configuration runs in CI via the Storybook test runner. It renders each
+ * story and performs a minimal interaction to surface runtime errors that unit
+ * tests might miss.
+ *
+ * What it covers:
+ *   - Verifies that stories render without throwing.
+ *   - Clicks the first button (if present) to catch simple interaction bugs.
+ *
+ * What it doesn't cover:
+ *   - Visual regressions or accessibility checks.
+ *   - Complex workflows that require multiple interactions.
+ *   - Stories that depend on network requests or auth; those may require mocks
+ *     or can be excluded from CI if flaky.
+ *
+ * This smoke test is a lightweight safety net and does not replace dedicated
+ * unit, integration, or visual testing.
+ */
