Research direction
Start by reviewing the Cypress test suite in test/e2e/, especially the dbReset command in commands.js (line 28). Check the roadmap #148 for release 1.5 context. Look at existing test runs to identify slow tests and consider disabling video recording in CI to speed up. Also review the Contributing Guidelines for PR submission.
