How to reproduce

Code:

import { run } from 'sitespeed.io';
import fs from 'fs';
import { execSync } from 'child_process';

const outputFolder1 = 'LiveMonitoringResult';
if (!fs.existsSync(outputFolder1)) {
  fs.mkdirSync(outputFolder1);
}

async function runLiveMonitoring() {
  const options = {
    urls: ['https://example.com'], // List of URLs to monitor
    resultBaseDir: outputFolder1, // Directory to store the results
    runs: 1, // Number of runs
    browser: 'chrome', // Browser to use for testing
    connectivity: {
      profile: 'cable', // Network connectivity profile
    },
    live: 5000, // Interval for live monitoring in milliseconds (e.g., 5000 = 5 seconds)
    visualMetrics: false, // Disable visual metrics collection to avoid errors
  };

  try {
    await run(options);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error during live monitoring:', error);
  }
}

// Function to run the monitoring periodically
function startMonitoring(interval) {
  runLiveMonitoring(); // Run immediately
  setInterval(runLiveMonitoring, interval); // Schedule subsequent runs
}

// Start monitoring with a specified interval (e.g., every 5 minutes)
const monitoringInterval = 1 * 60 * 1000; // 5 minutes in milliseconds
startMonitoring(monitoringInterval);

Reproduce the supplied live-monitoring script, then read lib/plugins/browsertime/filmstrip.js and lib/plugins/html/htmlBuilder.js around the visualMetrics failure. Trace the related message flow through lib/core/queueHandler.js, lib/plugins/assets/index.js, and lib/plugins/browsertime/index.js. Done means the reported visualMetrics TypeError and duplicate summary errors no longer occur in the documented scenario.
