CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, ARCHITECTURE.md and TODO.md all said no browser exists
in this environment, so appearance had never been verified by anyone. Chrome
is on PATH. Its own --screenshot flag is what fails: it fires on the load
event, before this app's async IndexedDB read resolves, and captures a blank
page — which is presumably how the claim took hold.
scripts/screenshot.ts drives CDP instead: waits past the load event, seeds
IndexedDB via --eval-file and reboots the app with --reload, clicks with
--click, applies shadcn's class-based dark palette with --dark, and reports
console errors and uncaught exceptions. A page that renders blank from a
thrown error looks identical to an empty one, so the console output is half
the value.
Two defects found by simply looking:
- The month table's numeric columns had no horizontal padding, so figures ran
into each other: "+7,175.00 DKK4,200.00 DKK". Now padded.
- Dev logged "The script has an unsupported MIME type ('text/html')" on every
boot, because registerServiceWorker asks for sw.js and the "/*" catch-all
answered with the HTML shell. Dev now serves an inert worker.
Confirmed working, first time seen: the carry meter (including red where a post
is overspent), the Task 5 rule-history editor, the Task 6 "change from here"
control, and baked FX rates showing as "manual - 2026-09-01" in Settings.
Recorded in the docs, with the limits stated: this container's fontconfig maps
every generic family to a monospace face, so screenshots need a FONTCONFIG_FILE
override or you will chase a font bug that does not exist; Chrome starts from
an empty profile each run; and no screenshot can judge how a design feels.
