/**
* 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.
