/**
 * Regenerates most of the README screenshots from the mock server.
 *
 * Drives headless Chrome over CDP, so the viewport is exactly the size the
 * images already use rather than whatever a window happens to be.
 *
 *   npm run dev:mock                       # in another terminal
 *   node docs/screenshots.mjs docs/screenshots
 *   node docs/screenshots-light.mjs docs/screenshots
 *
 * Restart the mock before a run. The filters shot creates rules, so a second
 * run against the same mock shows them twice.
 *
 * The files shot was taken by hand until 2026-08-27, and had gone stale twice
 * over by the time anyone noticed. Anything the docs show should be generated
 * from the mock, or it describes whatever the app looked like on the day
 * somebody had a screenshot tool open.
 *
 * Two shots are deliberately not taken here:
 *
 * - **mobile**, because at the tail of this sequence the app would not render
 *   the message list at 500px within the wait. A short run of its own is
 *   reliable, and it is a screenshot, not a mystery worth solving.
 *
 * - **inbox-light**, because of setDeviceMetricsOverride. Swapping the theme
 *   under the emulation layer captures a *mixed* frame: the panes that
 *   re-rendered come out light while the rest of the chrome stays dark, with
 *   the DOM and computed styles insisting the whole page is light. The app is
 *   not at fault -- update() calls applyTheme() synchronously and the CSS does
 *   flip --bg to #f6f8fa. The compositor simply does not repaint everything a
 *   CSS-variable change touches while metrics are overridden. Launching Chrome
 *   at --window-size and never calling setDeviceMetricsOverride renders it
 *   correctly, which is what docs/screenshots-light.mjs does.
 *
 * assertTheme() stays either way: without it this script wrote a dark
 * screenshot under a light caption and reported success, and that is how the
 * README came to show the same theme twice for months.
