Custom Test

/**
 * API CRUD flow executed serially.
 * 
 * Purpose:
 * - Test the full lifecycle of a resource (Create, Read, Delete)
 * - Ensure data consistency across operations
 * - Clean up test data after execution
 * 
 * Key Actions:
 * - POST to create a resource
 * - GET to verify creation
 * - DELETE to clean up
 * - test.describe.serial ensures tests run in order
 * 
 * @see https://playwright.dev/docs/api-testing
