What changed

  • adds webwright-python, a supported entry point that executes scripts and modules with Webwright's own installed interpreter
  • shares ~/Library/Caches/ms-playwright by default on macOS while preserving an explicit PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH
  • replaces pip install playwright recovery advice with the shared uv-tool workflow
  • documents one-time uv tool install setup
  • declares and locks pytest as a project test dependency

Why

Repository scripts were invoking ambient python or python3, even when Webwright and Playwright were already installed in Webwright's uv-tool environment. That encouraged repeated per-repository installations and made browser automation fail under a deliberately clean system Python.

Validation

  • uv run --no-python-downloads pytest -q tests/unit/test_script_runner.py tests/unit/test_doctor.py (12 passed)
  • webwright-python reports the shared tool interpreter, Playwright 1.61.0, and /Users/cbaer/Library/Caches/ms-playwright
  • installation and resolution completed with Python downloads disabled

Author

Closing because this upstream proposal was opened by AI without human authorization. We will keep any environment-integration work local/internal unless explicitly invited to contribute upstream.
