+### Added

+- **E2E coverage collection auto-fixture**: New `_coverageCollector` automatic fixture collects Istanbul coverage (`window.__coverage__`) from the browser after each test and writes per-test JSON files to `<outputDir>/coverage/`. Enabled via `E2E_COLLECT_COVERAGE=1`. Zero overhead when disabled — no `page.evaluate` call or fs operations. Designed for use with instrumented dynamic plugin builds (nyc instrument).
