// tests/uat/lib/launch.ts — Plan 01-11 harness launch helper.
//
// Wraps puppeteer.launch with the project's invariants:
// - enableExtensions points at the absolute path to dist-test/ (the
// test bundle that carries the gated test hooks per Plan 01-11
// Task 2). NOT dist/ — that would defeat the harness entirely.
// - headless defaults to true (CI-friendly); HEADLESS=0 env opens a
// real Chrome window for local debugging.
// - --auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen" auto-accepts
// the screen-share picker so getDisplayMedia resolves without
// operator interaction (RESEARCH §9). The literal string is
// en_US-locale-sensitive; document the fallback in tests/uat/README.md.
// - Downloads land in a fresh per-run temp dir so assertion 5
// (SAVE_ARCHIVE) can poll for session_report_*.zip without
// colliding with operator downloads.
