Description
The full roadmap proposal for potato farm is at https://github.com/secondlife/roadmap/issues/339. The ultimate goal of the project is to allow automated regression testing using a flexible automation framework that allows us to capture performance, graphics appearance, or other types of information from viewer sessions triggered by GHA, and to make it easy to compare results across hosts, viewer versions, and specific runs.
The first step (Phase 0) is to get viewer sessions running reliably under GHA without assuming any special automation infrastructure in the viewer - see how far we can get with just a command line:
- GHA triggers a viewer session using a specified viewer build, runner, and command line
- Files generated by the run (SecondLife.log, preferences, image snapshots, etc) are captured as artifacts from GHA

Research direction
Read the full roadmap proposal in roadmap issue 339 first, then examine how GHA can launch a specified viewer build, runner, and command line. Done means a viewer session runs reliably under GHA without special viewer automation infrastructure, with SecondLife.log, preferences, image snapshots, and other generated files captured as artifacts.
