 **E1 — extração do hook compartilhado de busca assíncrona com debounce (2026-08-23):** a 3ª cópia do efeito de busca async (requestId + `setTimeout(250)` + loading/failed) — introduzida pela C143 em `DemandResponsibleMultiSelect` (demand), e presente em `ResponsibleMultiSelect` (C90) e `AsyncSearchCombobox` — vira o hook `useAsyncSearchOptions({ open, query, search, isQueryReady? }) → { options, loading, failed }` (`src/hooks/useAsyncSearchOptions.ts`, novo; constante `ASYNC_SEARCH_DEBOUNCE_MS` exportada). Os 3 componentes consomem o hook e mantêm só o que é seu (grupos por typeLabel, avatares, headings de sugestões do município, `pinnedOptions`, filtro de selecionados, mensagens de vazio); semântica de query vazia preservada por consumidor (Demand busca sempre → sugestões; ResponsibleMultiSelect reseta via `isContactSearchQueryReady`; combobox com gate configurável — o efeito sync `selected←value` fica no componente).

 **C142 — interface do /campanha respeita o perfil de permissão do assessor (2026-08-21):** a entrega fechada parte do C141 (que definiu os eixos `visibility`/`editing` no `campaignUser` e os gates server-side). Com o C142, a UI de todos os rascunhos staff do `/campanha` obedece de ponta a ponta o perfil de edição do assessor: com `editing = somente_leitura` não há nenhum controle de escrita em lugar nenhum (listas, detalhes, tabs, wizards); com `editing = tudo` o assessor enxerga/edita tudo o que vê; com `carteira` mantém o comportamento por carteira. Discriminação das entregas: (1) núcleo puro `src/lib/campaignAdvisorProfile.ts` com `advisorEditingScope()`/`rowEditingAllowed()` (retorna `none` para combinação incoerente `editing=tudo` + `visibility≠tudo`) e `gate: 'writable'` em `requireCampaignPageActor` (redireciona para `/campanha`); (2) todas as células compartilhadas (CampaignInlineEditableCell, MunicipalityRelationEditor, PhonesFieldEditor, DemandDescriptionEditor/Card/WorkflowCard, MunicipalityV2\*Cells, MunicipalityGoalAccountCard, ActivityTaskChecklist, SuggestionCard, MunicipalityPledgesPanel, etc.) ganharam o prop `readOnly`; (3) páginas staff — municípios (lista desktop+mobile, detalhe com tabs Overview/Updates/Leaderships/Suggestions, edição), pessoas (invite e criação gated), lideranças, dobradinhas, demandas, atividades, apoiadores, organizações — escondem os botões de criação (`Nova demanda`, `Nova atividade`, `Planejar giro`, `Novo`/`Importar CSV`, `Nova organização`, `Nova liderança`, `Nova dobradinha`) com `editingScope !== 'none'`; (4) home: `homeActionsForRole(role, editingScope)` filtra os 4 wizards para `somente_leitura` (sobra só o atalho de navegação); (5) `shouldMountQuickActionsFab` não monta o FAB para `somente_leitura`; (6) registry de quick actions (`resolveQuickActionsForPath`) recebe `editingScope` e filtra; (7) e2e novo `tests/e2e/campaignPermissionProfile.e2e.spec.ts` cobre os 3 perfis (somente_leitura sem controles, carteira com carteira, tudo com tudo) usando `createCampaignUser` com `visibility`/`editing`. Verificação: tsc/lint/format/knip/cycles/units (2419) + `gate:fast` verdes; PR em main com auto-merge (rebase); nada muda para coordinator/candidate/leader.
 
 **S10 — Pixel do Meta (Facebook) na página pública de campanha (2026-08-19):** o time de campanha paga pode configurar o ID numérico do Pixel (Dataset do Events Manager) no admin — global `SiteSettings` → group "Rastreamento / Ads" → "ID do Pixel do Meta (Facebook)", mesma validação/normalização do precedente dos abaixo-assinados (5–20 dígitos, sem HTML/JS; regras agora vivem num único dono em `facebookPixel.ts`, com o `Petition` refatorado para o helper compartilhado). Com o ID configurado, a home pública de campanha (`/`) carrega o base code + `PageView` do Meta (injeção no layout do grupo `(home)` via `next/script`, escopada só à página de campanha — nada de PageView vazando para notícias/etc.); sem ID, nada é carregado (fail-closed). A conclusão da captura de novidades (S9) dispara exatamente um `Lead` (`content_name` "novidades-da-campanha", `eventID` UUID) no padrão do `PetitionForm` — nunca no page load. Leitura via `getCachedGlobal('site-settings')` (ISR sob a tag `global_site-settings`; a edição do admin já revalida a home). Migração `20260819_213947_add_site_settings_facebook_pixel_id` (colunas `tracking_facebook_pixel_id` + versão, sem backfill). Fora da fatia (gatilhos herdados do plano da petição): CAPI/Advanced Matching, dedup `eventID`, fila/retry de `Lead` e cookie banner/CMP. E2e novo `campaignHomePixel` (script `#meta-pixel-*` presente só com ID configurado, CDN stubada; `mode: serial` por precedente).

+# OPS46 — Infra de teste e2e: e2e local não coleta (next/cache) + allocator de município com wrap
+
+Status: implementado
+Atualizado em: 2026-08-23
+Issue: #733
+Impl plan do plano de intenção: `docs/plans/ops46-infra-teste-e2e-local-allocator.md`
+
+## Fase 1 — e2e local não coleta (`Cannot find module 'next/cache'`)
+
+### Causa raiz (medida)
+
+- `next@15.4.11` não declara `exports` no package.json → ESM nativo do Node
+  **nunca** resolve o subpath `next/cache` (o arquivo existe como `cache.js`,
+  mas ESM não tenta extensões — `ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND` com "Did you mean to
+  import next/cache.js?").
+- `server-only` (0.0.1) resolve `index.js` (que lança) sem a condição de
+  export `react-server` (`--conditions=react-server`).
+- `pnpm test:e2e` carrega ambas as correções via
+  `NODE_OPTIONS="--no-deprecation --conditions=react-server --import=tsx/esm"`
+  — por isso o CI passa: o CI nunca roda `playwright` bare, sempre via script.
+  Qualquer invocação bare (extensão VS Code, `pnpm exec playwright test
+  --list`, runs ad-hoc) quebra na coleta.
+- CI vs máquina: sem delta — o CI usa o mesmo comando com os mesmos flags;
+  a hipótese do plano ("investigar o que difere no ambiente CI") se resolveu
+  em "nada difere — o CI só roda pelo script".
+
+### Abordagem implementada (aprovada no GATE)
+
+Fix no nível do runner, zero mudança em código de produção:
+
+1. `tests/helpers/e2eEsmResolve.mjs` — hook de resolução ESM com 2 rewrites:
+   - `next/cache` → `next/cache.js` (entry oficial, TS mapeia para `cache.d.ts`);
+   - injeta `react-server` nas `conditions` de resolução (equivalente exato do
+     flag `--conditions=react-server`, aplicado em runtime via `nextResolve`).
+2. `tests/helpers/e2eEsmLoader.mjs` — entry `--import` que registra a hook
+   (o padrão do tsx: `--import` só funciona se o módulo chamar `module.register`).
+3. `playwright.config.ts` — quando `NODE_OPTIONS` **não** tem
+   `--conditions=react-server` (invocação bare): `register()` a hook no
+   processo main (a coleta do `--list` acontece aqui, pós-load do config) e
+   propaga `--import=<loader>` via `NODE_OPTIONS` para os workers (herdam o
+   env no spawn). Com os flags presentes (script), nada muda.
+
+### Opções rejeitadas
+
+- `next/cache` → `next/cache.js` na fonte (~40 arquivos): toca código de
+  produção para um problema de infra de teste e não resolve `server-only`
+  (o comando bare continuaria quebrando); não idiomático.
+- Patch do `next` via pnpm `patchedDependencies` adicionando `exports`:
+  exports parcial quebra qualquer subpath não listado; frágil por versão.
+- `--import`/flags no script apenas + documentar: não satisfaz o aceite
+  (`pnpm exec playwright test --list` coleta na máquina do humano).
+
+### Verificação Fase 1
+
+- `pnpm exec playwright test --list` (bare, sem flags): **198 testes em 41
+  arquivos** (antes: `Total: 0 tests in 0 files`).
+- Run real bare `--project=admin`: **5 passed** (workers com a hook).
+- Run real bare `--project=campaign` `campaignHomeActions`: **18 passed**.
+- `pnpm test:e2e --list` (script, flags): inalterado, 198.
+
+## Fase 2 — allocator de município com wrap destrutivo
+
+### Medição (plano: "medir primeiro")
+
+- Claims por ciclo completo num DB persistente: **~505** (432
+  `getMunicipality()` no int + 73 `claimMunicipality()` no e2e) > 435 do
+  catálogo → o wrap acontece em **todo** ciclo de suíte completa. Bug agudo
+  (não teórico): após o wrap, dois runs concorrentes podem receber o mesmo
+  índice e o purge-on-claim de cada um apaga as linhas vivas do outro.
+
+### Abordagem implementada
+
+Registry de claims em módulo compartilhado vitest-free
+`tests/helpers/campaignMunicipalityAllocator.ts` (mesma convenção do
+`campaignResidue.ts` — importável pelo processo Playwright do e2e):
+
+- Tabela `campaign_fixture_municipality_claims` (`index` PK, `run_id` text,
+  `claimed_at` timestamptz default now()) criada lazy com a sequence
+  (`CREATE IF NOT EXISTS`, corrida 23505 tolerada).
+- `claimMunicipalityIndex(payload, catalogSize, runID)`: `nextval` → índice →
+  `INSERT ON CONFLICT ("index") DO NOTHING RETURNING`; conflito = run vivo
+  segura o slot → pula; claim **stale** (TTL 2h, run crashado) → rouba e
+  retenta; tudo ocupado por claims vivos → erro claro ("exhausted") em vez
+  de colisão silenciosa.
+- `releaseMunicipalityClaims(payload, runID)`: `DELETE WHERE run_id` — chamado
+  no `cleanup()` de ambos os fixtures (int `CampaignFixtures.cleanup`,
+  e2e `CampaignE2EOwnership.cleanup`), só quando o fixture claimou
+  (Set `claimedMunicipalityIndexes` — cleanup sem claims não toca a tabela).
+- O fixture int perdeu o allocator inline (`nextAllocatedMunicipalityIndex`
+  + a sequence própria); o e2e idem (CREATE SEQUENCE + nextval inline).
+
+### Guards e testes
+
+- Guard estático novo no `testMunicipalityAllocatorConventions.unit.spec.ts`:
+  proíbe `nextval(`/`campaign_fixture_municipality_alloc` em `tests/int`,
+  `tests/e2e` e `tests/helpers` fora do módulo do allocator — todo claim passa
+  pelo registry.
+- Spec int comportamental `tests/int/campaignMunicipalityAllocator.int.spec.ts`
+  (catalogSize sintético, robusto a concorrência da suíte paralela):
+  1. exclusividade viva através de múltiplos wraps (âncora segura 1 slot por
+     120 claims de runs efêmeros > 3 wraps do espaço de 40);
+  2. exaustão (erro claro) + recuperação após release;
+  3. steal de claim stale (envelhecida 3h);
+  4. release libera slots para reuso.
+
+### Verificação Fase 2
+
+- Spec do allocator: 4/4 verdes, estável em re-runs.
+- Suíte int completa: **92 arquivos / 819 testes, todos verdes** (o fixture
+  refatorado claima ~432 municípios sob 8 workers paralelos).
+- Tabela de claims **zerada** ao final da suíte (release funcionando).
+- e2e campaign (`campaignHomeActions`, wizard com claims reais): 18/18, claims
+  zeradas após o run.
+
+## Riscos e notas
+
+- A hook depende de `module.register` (estável desde Node 20.6); só ativa em
+  invocações bare — o path do script (`pnpm test:e2e`) fica intocado e é o
+  fallback se algo mudar.
+- TTL 2h > duração de qualquer run vivo; claim crashado bloqueia slots até o
+  TTL (erro de exaustão menciona o prazo).
+- Um run vivo não pode claimar mais de `catalogSize` slots (a própria
+  exclusividade exaure) — correto por design; fixtures reais liberam por
+  teste.
+- Durante a entrega, o `--list` bare regenerou o `importMap.js` sem envs
+  `S3_*` (classe OPS69/OPS70 #87, já documentada) — restaurado com
+  `generate:importmap` + envs dummy.
+
+## Aceite
+
+- [x] Fase 1: `pnpm exec playwright test --list` coleta na máquina do humano
+- [x] Fase 2: sem colisão de claim após N wraps (stress test com wraps reais)
+- [x] Guards: `testMunicipalityAllocatorConventions` verde após a mudança

+/**
+ * Cross-process municipality allocator — shared by the int
+ * (`campaignFixtures.ts`) and e2e (`campaignE2EFixtures.ts`) suites.
+ *
+ * Deliberately VITEST-FREE: the e2e fixture imports this module inside the
+ * Playwright process, and a vitest import there crashes at load time (same
+ * rule as `campaignResidue.ts` — OPS45).
+ *
+ * The Postgres sequence hands out globally unique catalog indexes across
+ * parallel workers, but it is NEVER reset: worktree test databases are
+ * persistent, and a full int + e2e cycle claims ~505 of the 435 catalog
+ * slots, so the residue space wraps on every cycle. Once it wraps, two
+ * concurrent runs can receive the SAME index — and the purge-on-claim
+ * contract turns that collision into corruption (each run deletes the other
+ * run's live rows). The claims registry below keeps the sequence as the
+ * cursor but makes a claim exclusive per LIVE run:
+ *
+ *  - claim: nextval → index → INSERT (index, run_id) ON CONFLICT DO NOTHING;
+ *    a conflict means a live run holds the slot, so skip to the next value;
+ *  - stale steal: a claim older than STALE_CLAIM_WINDOW belongs to a
+ *    CRASHED run (its cleanup never ran), so it is deleted and the slot is
+ *    reclaimed — without this, one aborted run would block slots for hours;
+ *  - release: the fixture deletes its own rows at cleanup, so the slots
+ *    become claimable again for later runs;
+ *  - exhaustion: all slots held by fresh claims → clear error instead of a
+ *    silent collision.
