Tests: use code interface for Member create/update (actor propagation)

- list_required_custom_fields: require actor (two clauses, no default)
- Member validation: use context.actor only, differentiate Forbidden vs transient errors
- stream_custom_fields: log + send flash on error instead of returning []
- GlobalSettingsLive: handle_info for custom_fields_load_error, put_flash
- Seeds: use Membership.update_member with actor, format

+# Forgejo Configuration
+
+This directory contains configuration files for Forgejo (self-hosted Git service).
+
+## Pull Request Template
+
+The `pull_request_template.md` is automatically loaded when creating a new Pull Request. It provides a checklist and instructions for the PR workflow, including how to run the full test suite before merging.
+
+## Branch Protection Setup
+
+To enforce the full test suite before merging to `main`, configure branch protection in Forgejo:
+
+### Steps:
+
+1. Go to **Repository Settings** → **Branches** → **Protected Branches**
+2. Add a new rule for branch: `main`
+3. Configure the following settings:
+   - ☑️ **Enable Branch Protection**
+   - ☑️ **Require status checks to pass before merging**
+     - Add required check: `check-full`
+   - ☐ **Require approvals** (optional, based on team preference)
+   - ☑️ **Block if there are outstanding requests** (optional)
+
+### What this does:
+
+- The **"Merge"** button in PRs will only be enabled after `check-full` passes
+- `check-full` is triggered by **promoting** a build in Drone CI (see PR template)
+- This ensures all tests (including slow and UI tests) run before merging
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Create PR** → Fast test suite (`check-fast`) runs automatically
+2. **Development** → Fast tests run on every push for quick feedback
+3. **Ready to merge:**
+   - Remove `WIP:` from PR title
+   - Go to Drone CI and **promote** the build to `production`
+   - This triggers `check-full` (full test suite)
+4. **After full tests pass** → Merge button becomes available
+5. **Merge to main** → Container is built and published
+
+## Secrets Required
+
+Make sure the following secrets are configured in Drone CI:
+
+- `DRONE_REGISTRY_USERNAME` - For container registry
+- `DRONE_REGISTRY_TOKEN` - For container registry
+- `RENOVATE_TOKEN` - For Renovate bot
+- `GITHUB_COM_TOKEN` - For Renovate bot (GitHub dependencies)

+**Performance Tests:**
+
+Performance tests that explicitly validate performance characteristics should be tagged with `@tag :slow` or `@describetag :slow` to exclude them from standard test runs. This improves developer feedback loops while maintaining comprehensive coverage.
+
+**When to Tag as `:slow`:**
+
+- Tests that explicitly measure execution time or validate performance characteristics
+- Tests that use large datasets (e.g., 50+ records) to test scalability
+- Tests that validate query optimization (N+1 prevention, index usage)
+
+**Tagging Guidelines:**
+
+- Use `@tag :slow` for individual tests
+- Use `@describetag :slow` for entire describe blocks (not `@moduletag`, as it affects all tests in the module)
+- Performance tests should include measurable assertions (query counts, timing with tolerance, etc.)
+
+**UI Tests:**
+
+UI tests that validate basic HTML rendering, Phoenix LiveView navigation, or framework functionality (Gettext translations, form elements, UI state changes) should be tagged with `@tag :ui` or `@describetag :ui` to exclude them from fast CI runs. Use `@tag :ui` for individual tests and `@describetag :ui` for describe blocks. UI tests can be consolidated when they test similar elements (e.g., multiple translation tests combined into one). Do not tag business logic tests (e.g., "can delete a user"), validation tests, or data persistence tests as `:ui`.
+
+**Running Tests:**
+
+```bash
+# Fast tests only (excludes slow and UI tests)
+mix test --exclude slow --exclude ui
+# Or use the Justfile command:
+just test-fast
+
+# UI tests only
+mix test --only ui
+# Or use the Justfile command:
+just ui
+
+# Performance tests only
+mix test --only slow
+# Or use the Justfile command:
+just slow
+
+# All tests (including slow and UI tests)
+mix test
+# Or use the Justfile command:
+just test
+# Or use the Justfile command:
+just test-all
+```
+
+**Test Organization Best Practices:**
+
+- **Fast Tests (Standard CI):** Business logic, validations, data persistence, edge cases
+- **UI Tests (Full Test Suite):** Basic HTML rendering, navigation, translations, UI state
+- **Performance Tests (Full Test Suite):** Query optimization, large datasets, timing assertions
+
+This organization ensures fast feedback in standard CI while maintaining comprehensive coverage via promotion before merge.

 ## 5. Security Guidelines
 
+### 5.0 No system-actor fallbacks (mandatory)
+
+**Do not use the system actor as a fallback when an actor is missing.**
+
+Examples of forbidden patterns:
+
+```elixir
+# ❌ FORBIDDEN - Fallback to system actor when actor is nil
+actor = Map.get(changeset.context, :actor) || Mv.Helpers.SystemActor.get_system_actor()
+
+# ❌ FORBIDDEN - "Safety" fallback in validations, changes, or helpers
+actor = opts[:actor] || Mv.Helpers.SystemActor.get_system_actor()
+
+# ❌ FORBIDDEN - Default actor in function options
+def list_something(opts \\ []) do
+  actor = Keyword.get(opts, :actor) || Mv.Helpers.SystemActor.get_system_actor()
+  # ...
+end
+```
+
+**Why:** Fallbacks hide missing-actor bugs and can lead to privilege escalation (e.g. a request without actor would run with system privileges). Always require the caller to pass the actor for user-facing or context-dependent operations; if none is available, return an error or fail validation instead of using the system actor.
+
+**Allowed:** Use the system actor only where the operation is **by design** a systemic operation (e.g. email sync, seeds, test fixtures, background jobs) and you explicitly call `SystemActor.get_system_actor()` at that call site—never as a fallback when `actor` is nil or absent.

+# Test Performance Optimization
+
+**Last Updated:** 2026-01-28  
+**Status:** ✅ Active optimization program
+
+---
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+This document provides a comprehensive overview of test performance optimizations, risk assessments, and future opportunities. The test suite execution time has been reduced through systematic analysis and targeted optimizations.
+
+### Current Performance Metrics
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| **Total Execution Time** (without `:slow` tests) | ~368 seconds (~6.1 minutes) |
+| **Total Tests** | 1,336 tests (+ 25 doctests) |
+| **Async Execution** | 163.5 seconds |
+| **Sync Execution** | 281.5 seconds |
+| **Slow Tests Excluded** | 25 tests (tagged with `@tag :slow`) |
+| **Top 50 Slowest Tests** | 121.9 seconds (27.4% of total time) |
+
+### Optimization Impact Summary
+
+| Optimization | Tests Affected | Time Saved | Status |
+|--------------|----------------|------------|--------|
+| Seeds tests reduction | 13 → 4 tests | ~10-16s | ✅ Completed |
+| Performance tests tagging | 9 tests | ~3-4s per run | ✅ Completed |
+| Critical test query filtering | 1 test | ~8-10s | ✅ Completed |
+| Full test suite via promotion | 25 tests | ~77s per run | ✅ Completed |
+| **Total Saved** | | **~98-107s** | |
+
+---
+
+## Completed Optimizations
+
+### 1. Seeds Test Suite Optimization
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-28  
+**Status:** ✅ Completed
+
+#### What Changed
+
+- **Reduced test count:** From 13 tests to 4 tests (69% reduction)
+- **Reduced seeds executions:** From 8-10 times to 5 times per test run
+- **Execution time:** From 24-30 seconds to 13-17 seconds
+- **Time saved:** ~10-16 seconds per test run (40-50% faster)
+
+#### Removed Tests (9 tests)
+
+Tests were removed because their functionality is covered by domain-specific test suites:
+
+1. `"at least one member has no membership fee type assigned"` → Covered by `membership_fees/*_test.exs`
+2. `"each membership fee type has at least one member"` → Covered by `membership_fees/*_test.exs`
+3. `"members with fee types have cycles with various statuses"` → Covered by `cycle_generator_test.exs`
+4. `"creates all 5 authorization roles with correct permission sets"` → Covered by `authorization/*_test.exs`
+5. `"all roles have valid permission_set_names"` → Covered by `authorization/permission_sets_test.exs`
+6. `"does not change role of users who already have a role"` → Merged into idempotency test
+7. `"role creation is idempotent"` (detailed) → Merged into general idempotency test
+
+#### Retained Tests (4 tests)
+
+Critical deployment requirements are still covered:
+
+1. ✅ **Smoke Test:** Seeds run successfully and create basic data
+2. ✅ **Idempotency Test:** Seeds can be run multiple times without duplicating data
+3. ✅ **Admin Bootstrap:** Admin user exists with Admin role (critical for initial access)
+4. ✅ **System Role Bootstrap:** Mitglied system role exists (critical for user registration)
+
+#### Risk Assessment
+
+| Removed Test Category | Alternative Coverage | Risk Level |
+|----------------------|---------------------|------------|
+| Member/fee type distribution | `membership_fees/*_test.exs` | ⚠️ Low |
+| Cycle status variations | `cycle_generator_test.exs` | ⚠️ Low |
+| Detailed role configs | `authorization/*_test.exs` | ⚠️ Very Low |
+| Permission set validation | `permission_sets_test.exs` | ⚠️ Very Low |
+
+**Overall Risk:** ⚠️ **Low** - All removed tests have equivalent or better coverage in domain-specific test suites.
+
+---
+
+### 2. Full Test Suite via Promotion (`@tag :slow`)
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-28  
+**Status:** ✅ Completed
+
+#### What Changed
+
+Tests with **low risk** and **execution time >1 second** are now tagged with `@tag :slow` and excluded from standard test runs. These tests are important but not critical for every commit and are run via promotion before merging to `main`.
+
+#### Tagging Criteria
+
+**Tagged as `@tag :slow` when:**
+- ✅ Test execution time >1 second
+- ✅ Low risk (not critical for catching regressions in core business logic)
+- ✅ UI/Display tests (formatting, rendering)
+- ✅ Workflow detail tests (not core functionality)
+- ✅ Edge cases with large datasets
+
+**NOT tagged when:**
+- ❌ Core CRUD operations (Member/User Create/Update/Destroy)
+- ❌ Basic Authentication/Authorization
+- ❌ Critical Bootstrap (Admin user, system roles)
+- ❌ Email Synchronization
+- ❌ Representative tests per Permission Set + Action
+
+#### Identified Tests for Full Test Suite (25 tests)
+
+**1. Seeds Tests (2 tests) - 18.1s**
+- `"runs successfully and creates basic data"` (9.0s)
+- `"is idempotent when run multiple times"` (9.1s)
+- **Note:** Critical bootstrap tests remain in fast suite
+
+**2. UserLive.ShowTest (3 tests) - 10.8s**
+- `"mounts successfully with valid user ID"` (4.2s)
+- `"displays linked member when present"` (2.4s)
+- `"redirects to user list when viewing system actor user"` (4.2s)
+
+**3. UserLive.IndexTest (5 tests) - 25.0s**
+- `"displays users in a table"` (1.0s)
+- `"initially sorts by email ascending"` (2.2s)
+- `"can sort email descending by clicking sort button"` (3.4s)
+- `"select all automatically checks when all individual users are selected"` (2.0s)
+- `"displays linked member name in user list"` (1.9s)
+
+**4. MemberLive.IndexCustomFieldsDisplayTest (3 tests) - 4.9s**
+- `"displays custom field with show_in_overview: true"` (1.6s)
+- `"formats date custom field values correctly"` (1.5s)
+- `"formats email custom field values correctly"` (1.8s)
+
+**5. MemberLive.IndexCustomFieldsEdgeCasesTest (3 tests) - 3.6s**
+- `"displays custom field column even when no members have values"` (1.1s)
+- `"displays very long custom field values correctly"` (1.4s)
+- `"handles multiple custom fields with show_in_overview correctly"` (1.2s)
+
+**6. RoleLive Tests (7 tests) - 7.7s**
+- `role_live_test.exs`: `"mounts successfully"` (1.5s), `"deletes non-system role"` (2.1s)
+- `role_live/show_test.exs`: 5 tests >1s (mount, display, navigation)
+
+**7. MemberAvailableForLinkingTest (1 test) - 1.5s**
+- `"limits results to 10 members even when more exist"` (1.5s)
+
+**8. Performance Tests (1 test) - 3.8s**
+- `"boolean filter performance with 150 members"` (3.8s)
+
+**Total:** 25 tests, ~77 seconds saved
+
+#### Execution Commands
+
+**Fast Tests (Default):**
+```bash
+just test-fast
+# or
+mix test --exclude slow
+```
+
+**Slow Tests Only:**
+```bash
+just test-slow
+# or
+mix test --only slow
+```
+
+**All Tests:**
+```bash
+just test
+# or
+mix test
+```
+
+#### CI/CD Integration
+
+- **Standard CI (`check-fast`):** Runs `mix test --exclude slow --exclude ui` for faster feedback loops (~6 minutes)
+- **Full Test Suite (`check-full`):** Triggered via promotion before merge, executes `mix test` (all tests, including slow and UI) for comprehensive coverage (~7.4 minutes)
+- **Pre-Merge:** Full test suite (`mix test`) runs via promotion before merging to main
+- **Manual Execution:** Promote build to `production` in Drone CI to trigger full test suite
+
+#### Risk Assessment
+
+**Risk Level:** ✅ **Very Low**
+
+- All tagged tests have **low risk** - they don't catch critical regressions
+- Core functionality remains tested (CRUD, Auth, Bootstrap)
+- Standard test runs are faster (~6 minutes vs ~7.4 minutes)
+- Full test suite runs via promotion before merge ensures comprehensive coverage
+- No functionality is lost, only execution timing changed
+
+**Critical Tests Remain in Fast Suite:**
+- Core CRUD operations (Member/User Create/Update/Destroy)
+- Basic Authentication/Authorization
+- Critical Bootstrap (Admin user, system roles)
+- Email Synchronization
+- Representative Policy tests (one per Permission Set + Action)
+
+---
+
+### 3. Critical Test Optimization
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-28  
+**Status:** ✅ Completed
+
+#### Problem Identified
+
+The test `test respects show_in_overview config` was the slowest test in the suite:
+- **Isolated execution:** 4.8 seconds
+- **In full test run:** 14.7 seconds
+- **Difference:** 9.9 seconds (test isolation issue)
+
+#### Root Cause
+
+The test loaded **all members** from the database, not just the 2 members from the test setup. In full test runs, many members from other tests were present in the database, significantly slowing down the query.
+
+#### Solution Implemented
+
+**Query Filtering:** Added search query parameter to filter to only the expected member.
+
+**Code Change:**
+```elixir
+# Before:
+{:ok, _view, html} = live(conn, "/members")
+
+# After:
+{:ok, _view, html} = live(conn, "/members?query=Alice")
+```
+
+#### Results
+
+| Execution | Before | After | Improvement |
+|-----------|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **Isolated** | 4.8s | 1.1s | **-77%** (3.7s saved) |
+| **In Module** | 4.2s | 0.4s | **-90%** (3.8s saved) |
+| **Expected in Full Run** | 14.7s | ~4-6s | **-65% to -73%** (8-10s saved) |
+
+#### Risk Assessment
+
+**Risk Level:** ✅ **Very Low**
+
+- Test functionality unchanged - only loads expected data
+- All assertions still pass
+- Test is now faster and more isolated
+- No impact on test coverage
+
+---
+
+### 3. Full Test Suite Analysis and Categorization
+
+**Date:** 2026-01-28  
+**Status:** ✅ Completed
+
+#### Analysis Methodology
+
+A comprehensive analysis was performed to identify tests suitable for the full test suite (via promotion) based on:
+- **Execution time:** Tests taking >1 second
+- **Risk assessment:** Tests that don't catch critical regressions
+- **Test category:** UI/Display, workflow details, edge cases
+
+#### Test Categorization
+
+**🔴 CRITICAL - Must Stay in Fast Suite:**
+- Core Business Logic (Member/User CRUD)
+- Authentication & Authorization Basics
+- Critical Bootstrap (Admin user, system roles)
+- Email Synchronization
+- Representative Policy Tests (one per Permission Set + Action)
+
+**🟡 LOW RISK - Moved to Full Test Suite (via Promotion):**
+- Seeds Tests (non-critical: smoke test, idempotency)
+- LiveView Display/Formatting Tests
+- UserLive.ShowTest (core functionality covered by Index/Form)
+- UserLive.IndexTest UI Features (sorting, checkboxes, navigation)
+- RoleLive Tests (role management, not core authorization)
+- MemberLive Custom Fields Display Tests
+- Edge Cases with Large Datasets
+
+#### Risk Assessment Summary
+
+| Category | Tests | Time Saved | Risk Level | Rationale |
+|----------|-------|------------|------------|-----------|
+| Seeds (non-critical) | 2 | 18.1s | ⚠️ Low | Critical bootstrap tests remain |
+| UserLive.ShowTest | 3 | 10.8s | ⚠️ Low | Core CRUD covered by Index/Form |
+| UserLive.IndexTest (UI) | 5 | 25.0s | ⚠️ Low | UI features, not core functionality |
+| Custom Fields Display | 6 | 8.5s | ⚠️ Low | Formatting tests, visible in code review |
+| RoleLive Tests | 7 | 7.7s | ⚠️ Low | Role management, not authorization |
+| Edge Cases | 1 | 1.5s | ⚠️ Low | Edge case, not critical path |
+| Performance Tests | 1 | 3.8s | ✅ Very Low | Explicit performance validation |
+| **Total** | **25** | **~77s** | **⚠️ Low** | |
+
+**Overall Risk:** ⚠️ **Low** - All moved tests have low risk and don't catch critical regressions. Core functionality remains fully tested.
+
+#### Tests Excluded from Full Test Suite
+
+The following tests were **NOT** moved to full test suite (via promotion) despite being slow:
+
+- **Policy Tests:** Medium risk - kept in fast suite (representative tests remain)
+- **UserLive.FormTest:** Medium risk - core CRUD functionality
+- **Tests <1s:** Don't meet execution time threshold
+- **Critical Bootstrap Tests:** High risk - deployment critical

+
+## Current Performance Analysis
+
+### Top 20 Slowest Tests (without `:slow`)
+
+After implementing the full test suite via promotion, the remaining slowest tests are:
+
+| Rank | Test | File | Time | Category |
+|------|------|------|------|----------|
+| 1 | `test Critical bootstrap invariants Mitglied system role exists` | `seeds_test.exs` | 6.7s | Critical Bootstrap |
+| 2 | `test Critical bootstrap invariants Admin user has Admin role` | `seeds_test.exs` | 5.0s | Critical Bootstrap |
+| 3 | `test normal_user permission set can read own user record` | `user_policies_test.exs` | 2.6s | Policy Test |
+| 4 | `test normal_user permission set can create member` | `member_policies_test.exs` | 2.5s | Policy Test |
+| 5-20 | Various Policy and LiveView tests | Multiple files | 1.5-2.4s each | Policy/LiveView |
+
+**Total Top 20:** ~44 seconds (12% of total time without `:slow`)
+
+**Note:** Many previously slow tests (UserLive.IndexTest, UserLive.ShowTest, Display/Formatting tests) are now tagged with `@tag :slow` and excluded from standard runs.
+
+### Performance Hotspots Identified
+
+#### 1. Seeds Tests (~16.2s for 4 tests)
+
+**Status:** ✅ Optimized (reduced from 13 tests)  
+**Remaining Optimization Potential:** 3-5 seconds
+
+**Opportunities:**
+- Settings update could potentially be moved to `setup_all` (if sandbox allows)
+- Seeds execution could be further optimized (less data in test mode)
+- Idempotency test could be optimized (only 1x seeds instead of 2x)
+
+#### 2. User LiveView Tests (~35.5s for 10 tests)
+
+**Status:** ⏳ Identified for optimization  
+**Optimization Potential:** 15-20 seconds
+
+**Files:**
+- `test/mv_web/user_live/index_test.exs` (3 tests, ~10.2s)
+- `test/mv_web/user_live/form_test.exs` (4 tests, ~15.0s)
+- `test/mv_web/user_live/show_test.exs` (3 tests, ~10.3s)
+
+**Patterns:**
+- Many tests create user/member data
+- LiveView mounts are expensive
+- Form submissions with validations are slow
+
+**Recommended Actions:**
+- Move shared fixtures to `setup_all`
+- Reduce test data volume (3-5 users instead of 10+)
+- Optimize setup patterns for recurring patterns
+
+#### 3. Policy Tests (~8.7s for 3 tests)
+
+**Status:** ⏳ Identified for optimization  
+**Optimization Potential:** 5-8 seconds
+
+**Files:**
+- `test/mv/membership/member_policies_test.exs` (2 tests, ~6.1s)
+- `test/mv/accounts/user_policies_test.exs` (1 test, ~2.6s)
+
+**Pattern:**
+- Each test creates new roles/users/members
+- Roles are identical across tests
+
+**Recommended Actions:**
+- Create roles in `setup_all` (shared across tests)
+- Reuse common fixtures
+- Maintain test isolation while optimizing setup
+

+
+## Future Optimization Opportunities
+
+### Priority 1: User LiveView Tests Optimization
+
+**Estimated Savings:** 14-22 seconds  
+**Status:** 📋 Analysis Complete - Ready for Implementation
+
+#### Analysis Summary
+
+Analysis of User LiveView tests identified significant optimization opportunities:
+- **Framework functionality over-testing:** ~30 tests test Phoenix/Ash/Gettext core features
+- **Redundant test data creation:** Each test creates users/members independently
+- **Missing shared fixtures:** No `setup_all` usage for common data
+
+#### Current Performance
+
+**Top 20 Slowest Tests (User LiveView):**
+- `index_test.exs`: ~10.2s for 3 tests in Top 20
+- `form_test.exs`: ~15.0s for 4 tests in Top 20
+- `show_test.exs`: ~10.3s for 3 tests in Top 20
+- **Total:** ~35.5 seconds for User LiveView tests
+
+#### Optimization Opportunities
+
+**1. Remove Framework Functionality Tests (~30 tests, 8-12s saved)**
+- Remove translation tests (Gettext framework)
+- Remove navigation tests (Phoenix LiveView framework)
+- Remove validation tests (Ash framework)
+- Remove basic HTML rendering tests (consolidate into smoke test)
+- Remove password storage tests (AshAuthentication framework)
+
+**2. Implement Shared Fixtures (3-5s saved)**
+- Use `setup_all` for common test data in `index_test.exs` and `show_test.exs`
+- Share users for sorting/checkbox tests
+- Share common users/members across tests
+- **Note:** `form_test.exs` uses `async: false`, preventing `setup_all` usage
+
+**3. Consolidate Redundant Tests (~10 tests → 3-4 tests, 2-3s saved)**
+- Merge basic display tests into smoke test
+- Merge navigation tests into integration test
+- Reduce sorting tests to 1 integration test
+
+**4. Optimize Test Data Volume (1-2s saved)**
+- Use minimum required data (2 users for sorting, 2 for checkboxes)
+- Share data across tests via `setup_all`
+
+#### Tests to Keep (Business Logic)
+
+**Index Tests:**
+- `initially sorts by email ascending` - Tests default sort
+- `can sort email descending by clicking sort button` - Tests sort functionality
+- `select all automatically checks when all individual users are selected` - Business logic
+- `does not show system actor user in list` - Business rule
+- `displays linked member name in user list` - Business logic
+- Edge case tests
+
+**Form Tests:**
+- `creates user without password` - Business logic
+- `creates user with password when enabled` - Business logic
+- `admin sets new password for user` - Business logic
+- `selecting member and saving links member to user` - Business logic
+- Member linking/unlinking workflow tests
+
+**Show Tests:**
+- `displays password authentication status` - Business logic
+- `displays linked member when present` - Business logic
+- `redirects to user list when viewing system actor user` - Business rule
+
+#### Implementation Plan
+
+**Phase 1: Remove Framework Tests (1-2 hours, ⚠️ Very Low Risk)**
+- Remove translation, navigation, validation, and basic HTML rendering tests
+- Consolidate remaining display tests into smoke test
+
+**Phase 2: Implement Shared Fixtures (2-3 hours, ⚠️ Low Risk)**
+- Add `setup_all` to `index_test.exs` and `show_test.exs`
+- Update tests to use shared fixtures
+- Verify test isolation maintained
+
+**Phase 3: Consolidate Tests (1-2 hours, ⚠️ Very Low Risk)**
+- Merge basic display tests into smoke test
+- Merge navigation tests into integration test
+- Reduce sorting tests to 1 integration test
+
+**Risk Assessment:** ⚠️ **Low**
+- Framework functionality is tested by framework maintainers
+- Business logic tests remain intact
+- Shared fixtures maintain test isolation
+- Consolidation preserves coverage
+
+### Priority 2: Policy Tests Optimization
+
+**Estimated Savings:** 5.5-9 seconds  
+**Status:** 📋 Analysis Complete - Ready for Decision
+
+#### Analysis Summary
+
+Analysis of policy tests identified significant optimization opportunities:
+- **Redundant fixture creation:** Roles and users created repeatedly across tests
+- **Framework functionality over-testing:** Many tests verify Ash policy framework behavior
+- **Test duplication:** Similar tests across different permission sets
+
+#### Current Performance
+
+**Policy Test Files Performance:**
+- `member_policies_test.exs`: 24 tests, ~66s (top 20)
+- `user_policies_test.exs`: 30 tests, ~66s (top 20)
+- `custom_field_value_policies_test.exs`: 20 tests, ~66s (top 20)
+- **Total:** 74 tests, ~152s total
+
+**Top 20 Slowest Policy Tests:** ~66 seconds
+
+#### Framework vs. Business Logic Analysis
+
+**Framework Functionality (Should NOT Test):**
+- Policy evaluation (how Ash evaluates policies)
+- Permission lookup (how Ash looks up permissions)
+- Scope filtering (how Ash applies scope filters)
+- Auto-filter behavior (how Ash auto-filters queries)
+- Forbidden vs NotFound (how Ash returns errors)
+
+**Business Logic (Should Test):**
+- Permission set definitions (what permissions each role has)
+- Scope definitions (what scopes each permission set uses)
+- Special cases (custom business rules)
+- Permission set behavior (how our permission sets differ)
+
+#### Optimization Opportunities
+
+**1. Remove Framework Functionality Tests (~22-34 tests, 3-4s saved)**
+- Remove "cannot" tests that verify error types (Forbidden, NotFound)
+- Remove tests that verify auto-filter behavior (framework)
+- Remove tests that verify permission evaluation (framework)
+- **Risk:** ⚠️ Very Low - Framework functionality is tested by Ash maintainers
+
+**2. Consolidate Redundant Tests (~6-8 tests → 2-3 tests, 1-2s saved)**
+- Merge similar tests across permission sets
+- Create integration tests that cover multiple permission sets
+- **Risk:** ⚠️ Low - Same coverage, fewer tests
+
+**3. Share Admin User Across Describe Blocks (1-2s saved)**
+- Create admin user once in module-level `setup`
+- Reuse admin user in helper functions
+- **Note:** `async: false` prevents `setup_all`, but module-level `setup` works
+- **Risk:** ⚠️ Low - Admin user is read-only in tests, safe to share
+
+**4. Reduce Test Data Volume (0.5-1s saved)**
+- Use minimum required data
+- Share fixtures where possible
+- **Risk:** ⚠️ Very Low - Still tests same functionality
+
+#### Test Classification Summary
+
+**Tests to Remove (Framework):**
+- `member_policies_test.exs`: ~10 tests (cannot create/destroy/update, auto-filter tests)
+- `user_policies_test.exs`: ~16 tests (cannot read/update/create/destroy, auto-filter tests)
+- `custom_field_value_policies_test.exs`: ~8 tests (similar "cannot" tests)
+
+**Tests to Consolidate (Redundant):**
+- `user_policies_test.exs`: 6 tests → 2 tests (can read/update own user record)
+
+**Tests to Keep (Business Logic):**
+- All "can" tests that verify permission set behavior
+- Special case tests (e.g., "user can always READ linked member")
+- AshAuthentication bypass tests (our integration)
+
+#### Implementation Plan
+
+**Phase 1: Remove Framework Tests (1-2 hours, ⚠️ Very Low Risk)**
+- Identify all "cannot" tests that verify error types
+- Remove tests that verify Ash auto-filter behavior
+- Remove tests that verify permission evaluation (framework)
+
+**Phase 2: Consolidate Redundant Tests (1-2 hours, ⚠️ Low Risk)**
+- Identify similar tests across permission sets
+- Create integration tests that cover multiple permission sets
+- Remove redundant individual tests
+
+**Phase 3: Share Admin User (1-2 hours, ⚠️ Low Risk)**
+- Add module-level `setup` to create admin user
+- Update helper functions to accept admin user parameter
+- Update all `setup` blocks to use shared admin user
+
+**Risk Assessment:** ⚠️ **Low**
+- Framework functionality is tested by Ash maintainers
+- Business logic tests remain intact
+- Admin user sharing maintains test isolation (read-only)
+- Consolidation preserves coverage
+
+### Priority 3: Seeds Tests Further Optimization
+
+**Estimated Savings:** 3-5 seconds
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Investigate if settings update can be moved to `setup_all`
+2. Introduce seeds mode for tests (less data in test mode)
+3. Optimize idempotency test (only 1x seeds instead of 2x)
+
+**Risk Assessment:** ⚠️ **Low to Medium**
+- Sandbox limitations may prevent `setup_all` usage
+- Seeds mode would require careful implementation
+- Idempotency test optimization needs to maintain test validity
+
+### Priority 4: Additional Test Isolation Improvements
+
+**Estimated Savings:** Variable (depends on specific tests)
+
+**Actions:**
+1. Review tests that load all records (similar to the critical test fix)
+2. Add query filters where appropriate
+3. Ensure proper test isolation in async tests
+
+**Risk Assessment:** ⚠️ **Very Low**
+- Similar to the critical test optimization (proven approach)
+- Improves test isolation and reliability
+
+---
+
+## Estimated Total Optimization Potential
+
+| Priority | Optimization | Estimated Savings |
+|----------|-------------|-------------------|
+| 1 | User LiveView Tests | 14-22s |
+| 2 | Policy Tests | 5.5-9s |
+| 3 | Seeds Tests Further | 3-5s |
+| 4 | Additional Isolation | Variable |
+| **Total Potential** | | **22.5-36 seconds** |
+
+**Projected Final Time:** From ~368 seconds (fast suite) to **~332-345 seconds** (~5.5-5.8 minutes) with remaining optimizations
+
+**Note:** Detailed analysis documents available:
+- User LiveView Tests: See "Priority 1: User LiveView Tests Optimization" section above
+- Policy Tests: See "Priority 2: Policy Tests Optimization" section above
+
+---
+
+## Risk Assessment Summary
+
+### Overall Risk Level: ⚠️ **Low**
+
+All optimizations maintain test coverage while improving performance:
+
+| Optimization | Risk Level | Mitigation |
+|-------------|------------|------------|
+| Seeds tests reduction | ⚠️ Low | Coverage mapped to domain tests |
+| Performance tests tagging | ✅ Very Low | Tests still executed, just separately |
+| Critical test optimization | ✅ Very Low | Functionality unchanged, better isolation |
+| Future optimizations | ⚠️ Low | Careful implementation with verification |
+
+### Monitoring Plan
+
+#### Success Criteria
+
+- ✅ Seeds tests execute in <20 seconds consistently
+- ✅ No increase in seeds-related deployment failures
+- ✅ No regression in authorization or membership fee bugs
+- ✅ Top 20 slowest tests: < 60 seconds (currently ~44s)
+- ✅ Total execution time (without `:slow`): < 10 minutes (currently 6.1 min)
+- ⏳ Slow tests execution time: < 2 minutes (currently ~1.3 min)
+
+#### What to Watch For
+
+1. **Production Seeds Failures:**
+   - Monitor deployment logs for seeds errors
+   - If failures increase, consider restoring detailed tests
+
+2. **Authorization Bugs After Seeds Changes:**
+   - If role/permission bugs appear after seeds modifications
+   - May indicate need for more seeds-specific role validation
+
+3. **Test Performance Regression:**
+   - Monitor test execution times in CI
+   - Alert if times increase significantly
+
+4. **Developer Feedback:**
+   - If developers report missing test coverage
+   - Adjust based on real-world experience
+
+---
+
+## Benchmarking and Analysis
+
+### How to Benchmark Tests
+
+**ExUnit Built-in Benchmarking:**
+
+The test suite is configured to show the slowest tests automatically:
+
+```elixir
+# test/test_helper.exs
+ExUnit.start(
+  slowest: 10  # Shows 10 slowest tests at the end of test run
+)
+```
+
+**Run Benchmark Analysis:**
+
+```bash
+# Show slowest tests
+mix test --slowest 20
+
+# Exclude slow tests for faster feedback
+mix test --exclude slow --slowest 20
+
+# Run only slow tests
+mix test --only slow --slowest 10
+
+# Benchmark specific test file
+mix test test/mv_web/member_live/index_member_fields_display_test.exs --slowest 5
+```
+
+### Benchmarking Best Practices
+
+1. **Run benchmarks regularly** (e.g., monthly) to catch performance regressions
+2. **Compare isolated vs. full runs** to identify test isolation issues
+3. **Monitor CI execution times** to track trends over time
+4. **Document significant changes** in test performance
+
+---

+
+## Best Practices for Test Performance
+
+### When Writing New Tests
+
+1. **Use `async: true`** when possible (for parallel execution)
+2. **Filter queries** to only load necessary data
+3. **Share fixtures** in `setup_all` when appropriate
+4. **Tag performance tests** with `@tag :slow` if they use large datasets
+5. **Keep test data minimal** - only create what's needed for the test
+
+### When Optimizing Existing Tests
+
+1. **Measure first** - Use `mix test --slowest` to identify bottlenecks
+2. **Compare isolated vs. full runs** - Identify test isolation issues
+3. **Optimize setup** - Move shared data to `setup_all` where possible
+4. **Filter queries** - Only load data needed for the test
+5. **Verify coverage** - Ensure optimizations don't reduce test coverage
+
+### Test Tagging Guidelines
+
+#### Tag as `@tag :slow` when:
+
+1. **Performance Tests:**
+   - Explicitly testing performance characteristics
+   - Using large datasets (50+ records)
+   - Testing scalability or query optimization
+   - Validating N+1 query prevention
+
+2. **Low-Risk Tests (>1s):**
+   - UI/Display/Formatting tests (not critical for every commit)
+   - Workflow detail tests (not core functionality)
+   - Edge cases with large datasets
+   - Show page tests (core functionality covered by Index/Form tests)
+   - Non-critical seeds tests (smoke tests, idempotency)
+
+#### Do NOT tag as `@tag :slow` when:
+
+- ❌ Test is slow due to inefficient setup (fix the setup instead)
+- ❌ Test is slow due to bugs (fix the bug instead)
+- ❌ Core CRUD operations (Member/User Create/Update/Destroy)
+- ❌ Basic Authentication/Authorization
+- ❌ Critical Bootstrap (Admin user, system roles)
+- ❌ Email Synchronization
+- ❌ Representative Policy tests (one per Permission Set + Action)
+- ❌ It's an integration test (use `@tag :integration` instead)
+

+
+## Questions & Answers
+
+**Q: What if seeds create wrong data and break the system?**  
+A: The smoke test will fail if seeds raise errors. Domain tests ensure business logic is correct regardless of seeds content.
+
+**Q: What if we add a new critical bootstrap requirement?**  
+A: Add a new test to the "Critical bootstrap invariants" section in `test/seeds_test.exs`.
+
+**Q: How do we know the removed tests aren't needed?**  
+A: Monitor for 2-3 months. If no seeds-related bugs appear that would have been caught by removed tests, they were redundant.
+
+**Q: Should we restore the tests for important releases?**  
+A: Consider running the full test suite (including slow tests) before major releases. Daily development uses the optimized suite.
+
+**Q: How do I add a new performance test?**  
+A: Tag it with `@tag :slow` for individual tests or `@describetag :slow` for describe blocks. Use `@describetag` instead of `@moduletag` to avoid tagging unrelated tests. Include measurable performance assertions (query counts, timing with tolerance, etc.). See "Performance Test Guidelines" section above.
+
+**Q: Can I run slow tests locally?**  
+A: Yes, use `just test-slow` or `mix test --only slow`. They're excluded from standard runs for faster feedback.
+
+**Q: What is the "full test suite"?**  
+A: The full test suite runs **all tests** (`mix test`), including slow and UI tests. Tests tagged with `@tag :slow` or `@describetag :slow` are excluded from standard CI runs (`check-fast`) for faster feedback, but are included when promoting a build to `production` (`check-full`) before merging to `main`.
+
+**Q: Which tests should I tag as `:slow`?**  
+A: Tag tests with `@tag :slow` if they: (1) take >1 second, (2) have low risk (not critical for catching regressions), and (3) test UI/Display/Formatting or workflow details. See "Test Tagging Guidelines" section for details.
+
+**Q: What if a slow test fails in the full test suite?**  
+A: If a test in the full test suite fails, investigate the failure. If it indicates a critical regression, consider moving it back to the fast suite. If it's a flaky test, fix the test itself. The merge will be blocked until all tests pass.

   This is an optimized version that filters at the database level instead of
-  loading all custom fields and filtering in memory.
+  loading all custom fields and filtering in memory. Requires an actor for
+  authorization (CustomField read policy). Callers must pass `actor:`; no default.
+
+  ## Options
+
+    - `:actor` - Required. The actor for authorization (e.g. current user).
+      All roles can read CustomField; actor must have a valid role.
 
   ## Returns
 
     - `{:ok, required_custom_fields}` - List of required custom fields
-    - `{:error, error}` - Error reading custom fields
+    - `{:error, :missing_actor}` - When actor is nil (caller must pass actor)
+    - `{:error, error}` - Error reading custom fields (e.g. Forbidden)
