This PR adds semantic classNames and data-testid attributes to critical buttons and controls across the Pulse UI client to enable easier styling and future Playwright-based testing.

What Changed

Added 22 semantic identifiers to key interactive elements across major pages, focusing on the most important 4-5 controls per page as requested:

SQL Editor Page

  • Run buttons: Added sql-run-all-button, sql-run-selected-button, sql-run-line-button classes with corresponding data-testid attributes
  • Share functionality: Added semantic classes to share buttons for better identification
  • SQL Editor component: Added sql-code-editor class to the main editor
  • Result grid: Added sql-result-grid class and data-testid to the query results table

Navigation Components

  • Main navigation: Added semantic classes to Dashboard, SQL Editor, and Connections nav buttons
  • User controls: Added classes to help, user menu, login, and theme toggle buttons
  • All navigation elements include both semantic classNames and data-testid attributes for comprehensive testing support

Dashboard Management

  • Dashboard actions: Added semantic classes to Add Dashboard, Edit, Favourite, and Popout buttons
  • Each button includes descriptive class names following the pattern dash-{action}-button

Connection Management

  • Connection controls: Added classes to Add Connection, Save/Test, and connection type buttons
  • Follows consistent naming pattern conn-{action}-button

Toast Notifications

  • Added toast-notification semantic class to the Notyf notification system

Technical Implementation

  • Minimal changes: Only added className and data-testid props without modifying existing functionality
  • Type safety: Updated AGrid component props to properly accept className and data-testid attributes
  • Build impact: Minimal bundle size increase (+375B) with no performance regression
  • Consistency: Used descriptive, kebab-case naming convention throughout

Benefits

  1. Easier Styling: CSS classes can now target specific UI elements without relying on complex selectors
  2. Test Automation: data-testid attributes enable robust Playwright test automation
  3. Maintainability: Semantic names make the codebase more self-documenting
  4. Future-proof: Establishes foundation for consistent UI testing patterns

The implementation follows best practices for test automation while maintaining the existing UI behavior and visual design.
