Bind the browser, print attach instructions, and pause on the first plugin context so agents can attach via `python -m playwright cli`. Requires -s/--capture=no and a single xdist worker. Mirrors the skill- based path from microsoft/playwright#38610 (not MCP). Co-authored-by: Copilot App <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com> Copilot-Session: 36905b3d-2f7c-4da8-8cc7-a644814e8004
Same as microsoft/playwright-python#3091. PyPI publishing is unaffected (handled by .azure-pipelines/publish.yml). conda-forge still has the package if people want it from there.
