This commit performs a **maintenance update** to align Playwright's **WebKit browser integration** with version 26.4. It updates the core browser configuration in `packages/playwright-core/browsers.json` and the `BROWSER_VERSION` constant in `packages/playwright-core/src/server/webkit/wkBrowser.ts`. Furthermore, it revises **Safari user agent strings** in `packages/playwright-core/src/server/deviceDescriptorsSource.json` and updates **release notes** across multiple language bindings (C#, Java, JavaScript, Python) to document this change. This ensures Playwright accurately simulates the latest WebKit environment and provides up-to-date information to users regarding the supported browser version.

This commit performs a **chore** and a **refactor** to enhance the `playwright-core` package. It **updates the npm ignore rules** to ensure all markdown files from the `lib` directory are included in the published package, making more documentation or related assets available to consumers. Concurrently, it **refactors the internal path** for the `installSkill` function in `src/tools/trace/installSkill.ts`, directing trace skill installations into a new `skills` subdirectory. This primarily affects the **npm package contents** and the **internal organization of trace skill installations**.

This commit delivers a **bug fix** for the **Management Control Plane (MCP)**'s secret redaction functionality. It modifies the `_redactSecrets` function in `packages/playwright-core/src/tools/backend/response.ts` to explicitly **skip empty secret values** during response redaction. This prevents potential issues or unnecessary processing when secrets are not defined, ensuring the **response redaction** mechanism operates robustly. A new test case has been added to `tests/mcp/secrets.spec.ts` to verify this correct handling of empty secret values.

This commit introduces a **bug fix** and **refactoring** to the **`happyEyeballs` utility** within `playwright-core`, specifically addressing network address resolution. It modifies the `lookupAddresses` function in `packages/playwright-core/src/server/utils/happyEyeballs.ts` to perform **separate IPv4 and IPv6 lookups**. This change prevents issues caused by `AI_ADDRCONFIG` filtering, which previously could lead to incorrect or failed IP address resolution. By ensuring proper and reliable address discovery, this improves the stability and connectivity of Playwright's networking capabilities.

This commit **fixes** a critical issue within the **MCP (Multi-Context Playwright) extension** where the browser executable path for `chrome-for-testing` was not being resolved correctly. It **refactors** the browser connection logic in `cdpRelay.ts` by removing the `forceNewTab` parameter from `ensureExtensionConnectionForMCPContext` and improving channel-based path resolution. The `extensionContextFactory.ts` is updated to reflect this API change, and **MCP CLI tests** are enhanced to ensure unique socket directories for parallel runs. This ensures more reliable browser connections for the **MCP extension** and improves test stability.

This commit **fixes a packaging issue** within the **CLI** by adjusting the `.npmignore` configuration. Specifically, it modifies the ignore pattern to ensure that markdown files located within any `skill` directory are correctly included in the published npm package. This **chore** prevents the accidental exclusion of **skill documentation** and related assets, ensuring that distributed modules are complete and functional. The change directly impacts the **artifact packaging process**, resolving a bug where essential files were being omitted.

This commit introduces **new testing infrastructure** to validate Playwright's interaction with **Electron's `WebContentsView` API**. It adds a dedicated Electron application, `tests/electron/electron-webcontentsview-app.js`, which instantiates multiple `WebContentsView` instances for testing purposes. Concurrently, a new Playwright test in `tests/electron/electron-webcontentsview.spec.ts` is added to verify the correct discovery and interaction with these `WebContentsView` instances. This **enhances test coverage** for Electron applications, ensuring Playwright accurately identifies and manages these embedded web contents.

This commit **updates the Java API documentation** for the `Locator` and `LocatorAssertions` modules to improve clarity and correctness. It **clarifies return types** for `Locator` methods such as `allInnerTexts()` and `allTextContents()`, correcting the examples to show `List<String>` instead of `String[]`. Additionally, the documentation for `LocatorAssertions.containsClass()` is refined to demonstrate the use of `Arrays.asList()` for arguments, promoting more idiomatic Java usage. This **documentation update** ensures that users have accurate and best-practice code examples for these **Playwright API methods**.

This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Playwright CLI** by adding support for a **global configuration file** located at `~/.playwright/cli.config.json`. This allows users to define CLI settings that apply across all projects, affecting how workspaces are initialized and browsers are managed. It also involves a significant **refactoring** of the CLI architecture, moving workspace initialization logic from the client's `program.ts` to a dedicated daemon process, which now handles `install` commands and browser management. New test cases in `tests/mcp/cli-config.spec.ts` verify the correct interaction between global and project-level configurations.

test(video): add test for ffmpeg process cleanup with empty video (#39889)

This commit introduces a **bug fix** within the **Playwright Core** library, specifically targeting the `browser_set_storage_state` tool, likely used in the `mcp` context. It **validates and resolves file paths** by ensuring the client filename is properly handled *before* calling the `setStorageState` function. This change, implemented in `packages/playwright-core/src/tools/backend/storage.ts`, prevents potential issues arising from incorrect path handling. Ultimately, it enhances the reliability and robustness of state management operations within Playwright's internal tools.

This commit introduces a **new capability** to the **Electron API**, allowing users to specify an `artifactsDir` when launching an Electron application via `electron.launch()`. This new option directs where application artifacts, such as downloads, will be saved, defaulting to a temporary directory if not provided. The change impacts the `playwright-core` client and server implementations, updates the internal protocol definition, and includes comprehensive documentation for `Electron.launch()` along with new tests to validate artifact saving behavior. This enhancement provides greater control over managing output files during Electron application testing.

This commit **fixes** an issue preventing **video recordings** from being correctly saved to the **`artifactsDir`** when connecting to a **remote browser**. It makes the `recordVideo.dir` option **optional** across the **Playwright API and protocol**, allowing the server-side **`screencast` module** to automatically default to `artifactsDir` for video storage in remote contexts. This ensures **consistent and reliable video artifact management** for remote Playwright sessions, with new tests verifying the correct behavior and file naming.

This commit **updates the CI/CD pipeline** by modifying the **Dependabot rebuild workflow** (`.github/workflows/dependabot_rebuild.yml`). It introduces a mechanism to **retrigger infrastructure checks** on Dependabot Pull Requests by programmatically closing and reopening them after a rebuild. This **maintenance chore** ensures that all necessary CI validations are consistently executed, improving the reliability of automated checks for dependency updates. Additionally, it streamlines the workflow by removing the redundant `doc-and-lint` and `lint-snippets` jobs, optimizing CI run times for these specific PRs.

This commit **unifies and standardizes** the **socket path computation** across Playwright's core components. It introduces a new utility function, `makeSocketPath` in `packages/playwright-core/src/server/utils/fileUtils.ts`, to centralize this logic. This **refactoring** ensures that the **core server**, **CLI daemon**, and **dashboard application** consistently generate socket file locations. The change improves maintainability and reduces potential discrepancies in socket management, with related test configurations updated to use the `PLAYWRIGHT_SOCKETS_DIR` environment variable.

This commit **enhances the CI pipeline** by integrating additional **infrastructure checks** into the **Dependabot rebuild workflow**. It introduces new `doc-and-lint` and `lint-snippets` jobs to `.github/workflows/dependabot_rebuild.yml`, ensuring these critical quality checks execute immediately after Dependabot rebuilds a commit. This **maintenance improvement** ensures that automated dependency updates adhere to project code quality and documentation standards. The change prevents potential issues from being merged without proper validation, thereby improving the overall stability and consistency of the codebase.

This commit performs **maintenance** on the **CI/CD pipeline** by updating the `upload-blob-report` **GitHub Action**. It upgrades the underlying `upload-artifact` action to version 7 and introduces the `overwrite: true` option. This change ensures that when CI jobs are retried, any previously uploaded **blob reports** from earlier attempts are automatically overwritten with the latest results, preventing stale data and improving the accuracy of artifact management. The update specifically affects the **artifact upload mechanism** within the CI workflow, ensuring that only the most current report is retained.

This commit introduces a **new feature** to the **HTML reporter**, enabling the generation of **CSP-compatible reports** by preventing asset inlining. A new `doNotInlineAssets` option is added, which triggers a **refactoring** of the `HtmlBuilder`'s asset writing logic in `packages/playwright/src/reporters/html.ts` to output separate asset files. The internal bundling process (`packages/html-reporter/bundle.ts`) and the `ZipReport`'s loading mechanism (`packages/html-reporter/src/index.tsx`) are also updated to support this "unpacked" report format. This enhancement provides greater flexibility for environments with strict Content Security Policies.

This commit performs a **refactoring** to standardize the enum value used for filtering console messages and page errors. It renames the `sinceNavigation` filter option to **`since-navigation`** (kebab-case) within the **Playwright core protocol and client/server implementations**. This **maintenance** task ensures consistent naming conventions for the `filter` argument in `Page.consoleMessages` and `Page.pageErrors` methods. The change impacts the internal protocol definition, type definitions, server-side handling, and client-side usage, requiring corresponding updates in the **documentation** and **tests**.
