+# Smoke / screenshot test
+
+The [`smoke`](../../.github/workflows/smoke.yml) workflow launches the real
+Waybar binary inside a **headless sway** compositor (software-rendered, no GPU)
+and checks three things:
+
+1. **It starts and stays alive** — with real modules (`clock`, `cpu`, `memory`,
+   `disk`) loaded, Waybar must not crash or log a fatal error.
+   ([`modules-config.jsonc`](modules-config.jsonc))
+2. **It renders** — a deterministic config ([`config.jsonc`](config.jsonc) +
+   [`style.css`](style.css)) is captured with `grim`; the bar strip must not be
+   blank.
+3. **It looks right** — the screenshot is compared to `reference.png` with an 8%
+   fuzz and an 800-pixel tolerance. Regressions fail the job, and the screenshot
+   and diff are uploaded as artifacts.
+
+## Updating the reference image
+
+`reference.png` must be generated by the CI environment (local rendering differs
+from Ubuntu's). To (re)bless it:
+
+1. Push your change and open the run of the `smoke` workflow.
+2. Download the `waybar-screenshot` artifact.
+3. Commit its `bar.png` as `test/smoke/reference.png`.
+
+Do this whenever an **intended** visual change makes the golden comparison fail.
+
+## Run locally
+
+On a machine with `sway`, `grim` and `waybar`:
+
+```sh
+./test/smoke/run.sh test/smoke/config.jsonc test/smoke/style.css /tmp/bar.png
+```
