  "what": "Drives a real browser and exposes the page to the model as a structured accessibility snapshot rather than a screenshot — so the agent targets elements deterministically without vision or pixel guessing. Adds network mocking, storage state, tracing, video and PDF generation. ~36k stars.",
  "why": "This is how Claude checks its own work. Have it load the article page, verify the layout at three breakpoints, confirm images lazy-load, and catch the broken nav before you do. The accessibility-tree approach doubles as a free a11y audit on a publication site.",
