github remorses/playwriter playwriter@0.0.80

  1. Ghost cursor overlay during recording — smooth animated cursor visualizes automated mouse actions (clicks, moves, presses) directly on the page during screen recordings, driven by Playwright onMouseAction callbacks so both page.mouse.* and locator.click() are captured

  2. Demo video creation — new createDemoVideo() automatically detects and speeds up idle sections between interactions, with hardware encoder detection (h264_videotoolbox, etc.) and optimized FFmpeg output for social media

  3. resizeImage() sandbox utility — shrink screenshots before feeding them to LLMs; default mode fits within 1568×1568px, supports explicit width/height/maxDimension

  4. Descriptive click timeout errors — when locator.click() times out, the error now explains why ("Element is not visible", "Element is not stable", etc.) instead of a generic timeout message

  5. Faster action timeouts — default Playwright action timeout reduced from 10s to 2s so agents get fast failures with descriptive errors; navigation timeout unchanged at 10s

  6. State-aware page-close warnings — executor warns when a closed page is referenced in session state and reports which state key(s) need reassignment, with automatic fallback to another open tab

  7. Popup detection warnings — executor emits [WARNING] when popup windows open during execution so agents are aware of context changes

  8. recording and ghostCursor namespaces — cleaner API in the execute sandbox: recording.start/stop/isRecording/cancel and ghostCursor.show/hide, with backward-compatible top-level aliases

  9. Multi-profile Chrome support — auto-selects the correct extension when multiple Chrome profiles are connected simultaneously

  10. Snapshot diff scoped by locatorshowDiffSinceLastCall cache now isolated per locator scope; also skipped automatically when search is provided

  11. Relay state centralized to Zustand store — internal relay state (extensions, targets, playwright clients) unified in a single immutable atom, eliminating scattered Maps and fixing edge-case reconnect bugs

  12. page.onMouseAction callback in Playwright fork — fires for both page.mouse.* and locator.click() actions; Locator.selector() now publicly typed (@xmorse/playwright-core@1.59.6)

  13. Suppress stack traces for timeout/abort errors — CLI and MCP output is cleaner; only the message is shown for expected timeout failures
