Interaction model

• Prefer HTML view for lightweight reading when it preserves enough structure.
• If HTML view is insufficient, use screenshots or CUA for visible UI that refs cannot target reliably.
• Editing should use keyboard shortcuts and CUA only when the visible editor cannot be driven with refs or locators.

If you need per-slide screenshots from a read-oriented page:

js
await page.locator(`div.slide:nth-child(${index})`).screenshot({ type: 'jpeg', quality: 80 });
