Vishot Runner Browser

Browser-side capture tooling for Vishot scene rendering entrypoints.

Purpose

This package is the browser capture engine used by scene packages such as @proj-airi/scenarios-stage-tamagotchi-browser. It provides:

• the package export surface in src/index.ts
• the captureBrowserRoots() programmatic API
• the capture CLI entry in src/cli/capture.ts
• Vite dev-server startup for scene packages
• Playwright-driven export of each data-scenario-capture-root element as its own PNG
• an optional imageTransformers pipeline for converting emitted PNG files into other final image artifacts such as AVIF

Usage

pnpm -F @proj-airi/vishot-runner-browser capture -- ../scenarios-stage-tamagotchi-browser --output-dir ../scenarios-stage-tamagotchi-browser/artifacts/final
pnpm -F @proj-airi/scenarios-stage-tamagotchi-browser capture

The browser capture package can run directly against a scene package root, or indirectly through the consumer package's own capture script. In both cases it starts the scene package's Vite app, opens it in Chromium, waits for the frontend ready signal, and exports each capture root into packages/scenarios-stage-tamagotchi-browser/artifacts/final.

Programmatic usage from a scene package looks like this:

import path from 'node:path'

import { captureBrowserRoots } from '@proj-airi/vishot-runner-browser'

const sceneAppRoot = path.resolve(process.cwd())
const requestedFormat = 'avif'

await captureBrowserRoots({
  sceneAppRoot,
  routePath: '/docs/setup-and-use',
  outputDir: path.resolve(sceneAppRoot, 'artifacts', 'final'),
  imageTransformers: requestedFormat === 'avif'
    ? [avifTransformer]
    : undefined,
})

The capture primitive is still PNG because Playwright screenshots write PNG files. If you want AVIF, WebP, or optimized PNG outputs, add an imageTransformers pipeline that rewrites the emitted files after capture.

Notes

• captureBrowserRoots() accepts either sceneAppRoot or baseUrl.
• Use routePath to target a specific page when a scene app has multiple routes.
• Scene packages mark readiness through window.__SCENARIO_CAPTURE_READY__.
• The CLI treats <render-entry> as the scene package root and captures the default / route.
• The parser accepts repeated --root flags for named capture roots.
• If an image transformer returns a different output file, Vishot treats that derived file as authoritative and removes the intermediate PNG only after the full batch validates successfully.
