 5. **No outbound dependencies.** Smoke runs on air-gapped hosts. Specs must
    not call `fetch('https://...')` for any host other than the WebUI endpoint
    itself.
+6. **Describe-level tags apply to every nested test.** The role tag must
+   reflect the highest privilege any test inside the describe needs. If a
+   describe mixes `loginAsAdmin` and `loginAsUser` calls, tag it
+   `@smoke-admin` — admin credentials are the broader superset and the
+   describe is only runnable in admin mode. Splitting into two describes is
+   preferred when feasible; pragmatic tagging is acceptable for MVP.
