Description

SingleFile supports a `--browser-height=$HEIGHT` option, we should parse our `DIMENSIONS` config var and get the height, and pass that to SingleFile when archiving to trigger full-page screenshots. This will help archiving longer twitter/reddit/etc. threads that autoload on scroll / larger screens.

Research direction

Locate where the DIMENSIONS configuration is parsed and where the SingleFile extractor is invoked during archiving. Verify how the height is represented, then confirm that the resulting browser-height option is passed to SingleFile and supports full-page archiving for long pages.
