Description
After the release, I tested the PyPI package and noticed the
screenshottool failed because the Playwright browser wasn't found. Playwright ships Chromium separately from the Python package, so installing the published package (pixi/uv/pip) doesn't fetch it, and the docs only mentioned the manual step in troubleshooting.Fix: a new
pls install-browsercommand downloads Chromium into the same environment that runspls, with a clear hint on failure, a startup warning when the browser is missing, and the step added to the pixi/uv/pip install docs.Verified end-to-end: with no browser present,
is_browser_installed()returnsFalseand capture raises the hint; afterpls install-browser, it returnsTrue.AI Disclosure
Tool & Model: Claude Code + Opus 4.8
