Recommended action: Set XDG_CONFIG_HOME and XDG_CACHE_HOME to a writable dir (e.g. /tmp/.chromium) and give Puppeteer a writable userDataDir.
Option: Point XDG dirs and userDataDir at writable /tmp [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Read-only root filesystem with writable /tmp
Steps:
1. ENV XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/tmp/.chromium
2. ENV XDG_CACHE_HOME=/tmp/.chromium
3. puppeteer.launch({userDataDir:'/tmp/.puppeteer-profile'})
Expected: Chrome starts
