Research direction

Start by reviewing the Browser library's Playwright integration and the prior discussion in issue #867, then compare it with Playwright's experimental Electron support. Identify the relevant launch entry point and existing tests before defining the scope. Done means Electron applications can be launched and exercised through the library with coverage for the supported behavior.
