Description

If you make a room with Alice and Bob and send messages, it would be nice if we could provide a way for Element X or Element Web R to hook into one of these accounts so the test author can:
- see if the test configuration makes sense
- sanity check for any obvious errors that the test is not catching

For Element X this would just involve dumping the sqlite directory somewhere and then making the app read it. For Element Web R this would involve exposing the Chrome session of the client instance. The latter feels doable at this stage.

Research direction

Start by locating the test room/account setup and the client-instance handling for Element X and Element Web R. Investigate how a test could expose the SQLite directory or Chrome session, and consider the work complete when a test author can inspect a running test environment and sanity-check its state through one of those clients.
