Recommended action: Use download.saveAs(localPath) (or createReadStream) instead of path(); set connect option exposeNetwork: '<loopback>' (or specific hosts) to reach client-local apps. Option: saveAs + exposeNetwork [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Any Playwright connect()-based remote browser Steps: 1. Replace fs reads of await download.path() with await download.saveAs(dest) 2. Pass exposeNetwork: '<loopback>' in connect options for localhost targets Expected: Downloads readable locally; local app reachable Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
