Can a scenario be tagged @ui and @api at once? Lint says "found @hybrid @ui @api"

✖ features/hybrid/seed-then-view.feature:6  tags/layer  Scenario must carry exactly one layer tag (@ui, @api, @hybrid); found @hybrid @ui @api.

  Both halves of that have the same answer: feature-level tags are counted, and that is why you have two.

  Lint reads the effective tag set — Feature tags, plus Rule tags if you use them, plus Scenario tags, plus any tags on an Examples: block, all merged. So your @hybrid on the Feature line and your @ui @api on the scenario add up to three layer tags on that scenario.

  The thing you actually want is the one you already have on the Feature line. @hybrid is exactly "this scenario uses the API client and a browser context in the same test":

  @hybrid
  Feature: Seed then view
  
    @smoke
    Scenario: A post created over the API shows on the page
      Given I create a post with title "Ship it"
      When I am on the posts page
      Then I should see the text "Ship it"

  Drop @ui @api from the scenario and the file lints.

  One consequence of the merge that catches people later: it also applies to a Feature that is tagged with one layer and holds a stray scenario of another. If @ui is on the Feature line you cannot make one scenario in that file @api — you get found @ui @api on that scenario and nothing you write on the scenario removes the inherited tag. Move it to its own file under the module for that layer.
