Flaky end-to-end test with fixed waits

A Playwright test clicks Save, waits 3 seconds and then checks for a success message. It fails randomly on CI. What is the better approach?

await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Save' }).click()
await page.waitForTimeout(3000)
expect(await page.locator('.toast').isVisible()).toBe(true)

A.Use await expect(page.getByRole('status')).toBeVisible(), which retries until it passes or times outB.Increase the wait to 10 seconds so slow CI machines have timeC.Run the test with retries: 5 and ignore the failuresD.Check the message with page.evaluate and document.querySelector
