It most certainly does not require any glue code. Playwright cli gives you basically all of this out of the box.

ProofShot isn’t a Playwright alternative, it’s built on agent-browser (from Vercel Labs), which is a different runtime. The value isn’t “can control a browser” — playwright does that fine, and in fact agent-browser is built on top of Playwright, hence so is ProofShot :) The value is bundling video + screenshots + console errors + server logs + action timeline into a single viewer.html and uploading it to the PR. That’s what saves me review time. If your workflow doesn’t need that bundle, playwright-cli works great.
