v0.59.0

This release works through the Piwi Picker and editor audits: the picker picks inside open shadow roots, narrows a locator to the repeated row or card it sits in, words its results and writes the action and assertion an element calls for, while the VS Code and JetBrains integrations gain a getting-started walkthrough, a Failures node per Playwright config, running the test at the cursor, and every --repeat-each result.

Full diff: v0.58.0…v0.59.0

✨ Highlights

• 🎯 Picking that reaches more of the page — Pick elements inside open shadow roots, pick the outlined or focused element with Enter, and keep the picked element outlined with an offer to pick another.
• 🧱 Repeated rows and cards — Piwi Picker narrows a locator to the repeated row or card it sits in, derives the repeated pattern in multi-pick, and lint suggests test ids from names and repeated containers.
• ✍️ The action and the assertion — Pick results are worded instead of scored, and Piwi Picker writes the action and the assertion the picked element calls for.
• 🧪 A Locators console with a history — The console keeps a history, copies a locator in other forms, adds it to the session and sends it to the paired editor.
• ⏯️ Recordings you can pause and replay — Pause and resume a recording from its bar, give it a title its spec and steps file take, and replay a plain recording before exporting it.
• 🧑‍💻 Editors, from first run to the test at the cursor — A getting-started walkthrough in VS Code and a first-run notification in JetBrains, one Failures node per Playwright config, running the test at the cursor and running tests as VS Code tasks.
• 🔁 Every --repeat-each result kept — A run keeps each repetition of a test, and the editors read a repeated run's total from its counts.
• 📍 Lists as you left them — Coming back to a page shows each list, and each tab's scroll, as the user left it.
