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
