Research direction

Start by locating the existing styling bar and the test subreddit/session UI; the issue asks for a similar testing bar in new Reddit and sh Reddit. Define the supported actions—vote changes, posting as configurable test users, and immediate scheduler execution—and consider the work complete when these can be triggered within a test session.

Description

testing

Since test subreddits are intended to have less than 50 users, something like a testing bar could appear, that looks similar to the styling bar (in new reddit and sh reddit).

It could have actions like modifying vote count on posts and comments, posting as multiple users (puppeteer users that only exist on that test session) with customized stats (karma, rep, etc.), execute instantly a scheduler, etc.
