// Lightpanda (https://lightpanda.io) — a headless browser built from scratch for automation.
// Runs real JavaScript in V8 but never paints a page: no screenshots, no coordinate clicks.
// Perfect for fast smoke tests; keep a Playwright job for rendering-sensitive checks.
//
// Requirements: `lightpanda` binary from https://lightpanda.io/docs/open-source/installation
// on your PATH, or pointed to by LIGHTPANDA_PATH / binaryPath below.
// The helper starts `lightpanda serve` per run and stops it automatically.
