Add dynamic pricing E2E test suite with Playwright

Implement comprehensive E2E tests to validate the surge pricing pipeline:
- Test SimpleSurgePricer with configurable thresholds (high=3, surge=1.5x)
- Verify discount pricing when demand is below low_threshold
- Test multi-product differential pricing based on demand signals
- Validate price propagation from pipeline through Redis to API

Test infrastructure:
- Playwright configuration with custom fixtures
- Python pipeline worker for direct test execution (bypasses Airflow)
- API client for event ingestion and price verification
- Event generator for creating realistic interaction sequences
- docker-compose.e2e.yml with minimal services for testing

docker-compose.e2e.yml

+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+| Scenario | Description | Expected Outcome |
+|----------|-------------|------------------|
+| **Baseline** | No interactions for product | Price = base_price (markup = 1.0) |
+| **Surge** | 5+ interactions (above threshold) | Price = base_price × 1.5 |
+| **Discount** | 1 interaction (at threshold) | Price = base_price × 0.9 |
+| **Multi-Product** | Different demand per product | Each product priced by its demand |
+| **Propagation** | Pipeline → Redis → API | Prices visible via API |
+| **Event Types** | Mix of view, click, cart | All events counted in demand |
+| **Multi-Session** | Events from different sessions | Demand aggregated correctly |
+
+## Test Configuration
+
+The tests use aggressive thresholds for fast feedback:
+
+```typescript
+pricing: {
+  highThreshold: 3,      // Surge after 3 interactions
+  lowThreshold: 1,       // Discount at ≤1 interaction
+  surgeMultiplier: 1.5,  // 50% price increase
+  discountMultiplier: 0.9, // 10% discount
+  windowSize: 10_000,    // 10 second window
+}
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start E2E Services
+
+```bash
+# Start minimal services for E2E testing
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml up -d
+
+# Wait for services to be healthy
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml ps
+
+# Optional: Start with Kafka UI for debugging
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml --profile debug up -d
+```
+
+### 2. Install Test Dependencies
+
+```bash
+cd e2e
+npm install
+npx playwright install
+```
+
+### 3. Run Tests
+
+```bash
+# Run all E2E tests
+npm test
+
+# Run with UI (interactive mode)
+npm run test:ui
+
+# Run specific test file
+npm run test:pricing
+
+# Run in debug mode
+npm run test:debug
+
+# View test report
+npm run test:report
+```
+
+### 4. Cleanup
+
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml down -v
+```
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `BACKEND_URL` | `http://localhost:5000` | Backend API URL |
+| `PROVIDER_URL` | `http://localhost:5001` | Pricing Provider URL |
+| `REDIS_HOST` | `localhost` | Redis host |
+| `REDIS_PORT` | `6378` | Redis port |
+| `KAFKA_HOST` | `localhost` | Kafka host |
+| `KAFKA_PORT` | `9092` | Kafka port |

+
+## Pipeline Worker
+
+The tests use a dedicated Python pipeline worker (`lib/pipeline-worker.py`) instead of Airflow for faster, more reliable test execution.
+
+```bash
+# Run pipeline manually
+python3 lib/pipeline-worker.py \
+  --store-mode hotel \
+  --high-threshold 3 \
+  --surge-multiplier 1.5 \
+  --json-output
+
+# Dry run (no Redis publish)
+python3 lib/pipeline-worker.py --dry-run
+```
+
+## Debugging
+
+### View Kafka Events
+
+```bash
+# Via API
+curl "http://localhost:5000/api/kafka/dump?topic=user-interactions&last_n=10"
+
+# Via Redpanda Console (if started with --profile debug)
+open http://localhost:8080
+```
+
+### Check Redis State
+
+```bash
+docker exec -it PHANTOM-e2e-redis redis-cli
+> GET prices:latest
+> KEYS *
+```
+
+### View Pipeline Logs
+
+The pipeline worker logs detailed information:
+
+```
+[INFO] Starting E2E pricing pipeline: mode=hotel, high_threshold=3, surge_multiplier=1.5
+[INFO] Fetched 15 interaction records
+[INFO] Computed demand for 3 products
+[INFO] Applied surge pricing:
+  e2e-test...: base=$100.00 -> optimal=$150.00 (demand=5, markup=1.50x)
+[INFO] Published 3 prices to Redis
+```
+
+## Writing New Tests
+
+```typescript
+import { test, expect } from '../lib/fixtures';
+import { generateTestProductId } from '../lib/event-generator';
+
+test('my new pricing test', async ({ api, events, triggerPriceUpdate }) => {
+  // 1. Create unique product ID
+  const productId = generateTestProductId('my-test');
+
+  // 2. Log base price
+  await api.logPrice({
+    productId,
+    price: 100.0,
+    sessionId: events.session,
+    storeMode: 'hotel',
+  });
+
+  // 3. Generate events
+  const surgeEvents = events.generateSurgeSequence(productId, 5);
+  await api.ingestEvents(surgeEvents);
+
+  // 4. Trigger pipeline
+  const result = await triggerPriceUpdate();
+
+  // 5. Verify results
+  expect(result.success).toBe(true);
+  const pricedProduct = result.prices?.find(p => p.productId === productId);
+  expect(pricedProduct?.optimal_price).toBeGreaterThan(100);
+});
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Backend not available"
+
+Ensure services are running:
+```bash
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml ps
+docker compose -f docker-compose.e2e.yml logs backend
+```
+
+### "No interactions found"
+
+Check Kafka topic has events:
+```bash
+curl "http://localhost:5000/api/kafka/dump?topic=user-interactions"
+```
+
+### "Pipeline timeout"
+
+Increase timeout in `playwright.config.ts`:
+```typescript
+timeout: 180_000, // 3 minutes
+```
+
+### "Price not updated"
+
+Check Redis has latest prices:
+```bash
+docker exec -it PHANTOM-e2e-redis redis-cli GET prices:latest
+```
