Rebuild UI test foundation with page objects, wait helpers, and screen objects

Replace brittle localized-string selectors and broken wait helpers with a
robust, identifier-first UI test infrastructure. All 41 UI tests pass on
iOS 26.2 simulator (iPhone 17).

Foundation:
- BaseUITestCase with deterministic launch helpers (launchClean, launchOffline)
- WaitHelpers (waitUntilHittable, waitUntilGone, tapWhenReady) replacing sleep()
- UITestID enum mirroring AccessibilityIdentifiers from the app target
- Screen objects: TabBarScreen, CameraScreen, CollectionScreen, TodayScreen,
  SettingsScreen, PlantDetailScreen

Key fixes:
- Tab navigation uses waitForExistence+tap instead of isHittable (unreliable
  in iOS 26 simulator)
- Tests handle real app state (empty collection, no camera permission)
- Increased timeouts for parallel clone execution
- Added NetworkMonitorProtocol and protocol-typed DI for testability
- Fixed actor-isolation issues in unit test mocks

+### UI Testing
+
+UI tests live in `PlantGuideUITests/` using a page-object foundation. See [Docs/XCUITest-Authoring.md](Docs/XCUITest-Authoring.md) for the full guide.
+
+**Key patterns:**
+- Inherit `BaseUITestCase`, not `XCTestCase`
+- Launch with `launchClean()`, `launchWithMockData()`, or `launchOffline()`
+- Locate elements via `UITestID.*` identifiers (mirrors `AccessibilityIdentifiers` in app)
+- Navigate with screen objects: `TabBarScreen`, `CameraScreen`, `CollectionScreen`, `TodayScreen`, `SettingsScreen`, `PlantDetailScreen`
+- Wait with `waitForExistence(timeout:)`, `waitUntilHittable()`, `waitUntilGone()` -- never `sleep()`
+- One assertion focus per test method

+## Claude GitHub App
+
+### Installation
+1. Go to [github.com/apps/claude](https://github.com/apps/claude)
+2. Click "Install" and select this repository
+3. Grant the requested permissions (read/write for code, issues, and pull requests)
+4. Authenticate with your Anthropic account when prompted
+
+### How It Works
+- The app reads this `CLAUDE.md` file for project context and contribution rules
+- Claude responds to `@claude` mentions in issues and PRs
+- No API key configuration needed - authentication is handled through the GitHub App integration
+
+### Triggering Claude
+- **Issues**: Mention `@claude` in an issue to request implementation help
+- **PRs**: Mention `@claude` to request code review or changes
+
+## Claude Contribution Rules
+
+### Scope
+- Work ONLY on the issue explicitly assigned to you.
+- One issue = one pull request.
+- Do not refactor unrelated code.
+- Do not change public APIs unless the issue explicitly says so.
+
+### Safety Rules
+- Never auto-merge.
+- Never force-push to main.
+- Never delete code unless instructed.
+- Preserve existing behavior unless tests say otherwise.
+
+### iOS Rules
+- Respect Swift concurrency (MainActor, async/await).
+- Do not introduce Combine unless already used.
+- Prefer pure functions for new logic.
+- No new dependencies without approval.
+
+### Output Expectations
+Each PR must include:
+- Clear summary of changes
+- Files touched (with rationale)
+- Risks and how to test

+
+## Rules
+
+1. **Every test class inherits `BaseUITestCase`** -- not `XCTestCase`.
+2. **Launch via helpers** -- `launchClean()`, `launchWithMockData()`, `launchOffline()`.
+3. **Locate elements by accessibility identifier** (`UITestID.*`), never by localized text.
+4. **Use screen objects** for navigation and assertions (e.g., `TabBarScreen`, `CollectionScreen`).
+5. **No `sleep()`** -- use `waitForExistence(timeout:)`, `waitUntilHittable()`, or `waitUntilGone()`.
+6. **Tests must be deterministic** -- launch args control fixtures; no dependency on device state.
+7. **One assertion focus per test** -- if testing collection empty state, don't also test search.
+
+## Writing a New Test
+
+### Step 1 - Add identifiers (if needed)
+
+In the app source, add `.accessibilityIdentifier(AccessibilityIdentifiers.Foo.bar)`.
+Mirror the ID in `UITestID.Foo.bar`.
+
+### Step 2 - Create or extend a screen object
+
+```swift
+struct FooScreen {
+    let app: XCUIApplication
+
+    var myButton: XCUIElement {
+        app.buttons[UITestID.Foo.myButton]
+    }
+
+    @discardableResult
+    func waitForLoad(timeout: TimeInterval = 5) -> Bool {
+        app.navigationBars["Foo"].waitForExistence(timeout: timeout)
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 3 - Write the test
+
+```swift
+final class FooFlowUITests: BaseUITestCase {
+
+    @MainActor
+    func testMyFeature() throws {
+        launchWithMockData()
+        let foo = TabBarScreen(app: app).tapFoo()
+        XCTAssertTrue(foo.waitForLoad())
+        foo.myButton.tapWhenReady()
+        // assert...
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Step 4 - Verify compile
+
+```bash
+xcodebuild build-for-testing \
+  -project PlantGuide.xcodeproj \
+  -scheme PlantGuide \
+  -destination 'platform=iOS Simulator,name=iPhone 17' \
+  -quiet
+```
+
+## Launch Configurations
+
+| Helper              | State        | Data | Network |
+|---------------------|-------------|------|---------|
+| `launchClean()`     | Fresh       | None | Online  |
+| `launchWithMockData()` | Seeded   | Mock | Online  |
+| `launchOffline()`   | Fresh       | None | Offline |
+
+All launchers pass `-UITesting` and `-SkipOnboarding`.
+
+## Wait Helpers (WaitHelpers.swift)
+
+| Method                     | Purpose                              |
+|---------------------------|--------------------------------------|
+| `waitUntilHittable()`     | Element exists AND is tappable       |
+| `waitUntilGone()`         | Element has disappeared              |
+| `waitForValue(_:)`        | Element value matches string         |
+| `tapWhenReady()`          | Wait then tap                        |
+| `app.waitForLaunch()`     | Tab bar appeared after launch        |
+| `app.waitForElement(id:)` | Any descendant by identifier         |
+
+## Tab Labels
+
+The app has 4 tabs. Use `UITestID.TabBar.*`:
+
+| Tab        | Label         |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| Camera    | `"Camera"`    |
+| Collection| `"Collection"`|
+| Today     | `"Today"`     |
+| Settings  | `"Settings"`  |
+
+Note: The third tab is **"Today"** (not "Care").

+# UI Test Generation Prompt Template
+
+Use this prompt when asking an AI to generate a new UI test for PlantGuide.
+
+---
+
+## Prompt
+
+Write a UI test for **[FEATURE DESCRIPTION]** in PlantGuide.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Inherit from `BaseUITestCase` (not `XCTestCase`)
+- Import only `XCTest`
+- Mark test methods `@MainActor`
+- Launch with `launchClean()`, `launchWithMockData()`, or `launchOffline()` as appropriate
+- Navigate using screen objects: `TabBarScreen(app: app).tapCollection()`
+- Locate elements via `UITestID.*` identifiers, not localized strings
+- Wait with `waitForExistence(timeout:)`, `waitUntilHittable()`, `waitUntilGone()`
+- Never use `sleep()`
+- One assertion focus per test method
+- Use Given/When/Then comments for clarity
+
+### File Structure
+
+```swift
+import XCTest
+
+final class [Feature]UITests: BaseUITestCase {
+
+    @MainActor
+    func test[Behavior]() throws {
+        // Given
+        launchWithMockData()
+        let screen = TabBarScreen(app: app).tap[Tab]()
+        XCTAssertTrue(screen.waitForLoad())
+
+        // When
+        screen.[element].tapWhenReady()
+
+        // Then
+        XCTAssertTrue([assertion])
+    }
+}
+```
+
+### Available Screen Objects
+
+- `TabBarScreen` -- `tapCamera()`, `tapCollection()`, `tapToday()`, `tapSettings()`
+- `CameraScreen` -- `captureButton`, `hasValidState()`
+- `CollectionScreen` -- `searchField`, `filterButton`, `viewModeToggle`, `emptyStateView`
+- `TodayScreen` -- `todaySection`, `overdueSection`, `emptyStateView`
+- `SettingsScreen` -- `clearCacheButton`, `notificationsToggle`, `versionInfo`
+- `PlantDetailScreen` -- `plantName`, `favoriteButton`, `editButton`, `deleteButton`
+
+### Available Identifiers
+
+See `PlantGuideUITests/Foundation/UITestID.swift` for the full list.
+All identifiers mirror `PlantGuide/Core/Utilities/AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift`.
+
+### If an identifier is missing
+
+1. Add it to `AccessibilityIdentifiers.swift` in the app
+2. Add `.accessibilityIdentifier(...)` to the view
+3. Mirror it in `UITestID.swift` in the test target

+- Use screen objects for element access and assertions
+- Launch with `launchClean()`, `launchWithMockData()`, or `launchOffline()`
+- Replace `sleep()` with `waitUntilHittable()` / `waitUntilGone()` / `waitForExistence(timeout:)`
