Recommended action: Pre-install the browser in the image (e.g. `uvx playwright install chromium --with-deps` as root, or a system Chrome) and/or set BrowserProfile(executable_path=...) so the runtime install is skipped. Option: Pre-install the browser in the image (e.g. `uvx playwright install chromium --with-deps` as root, or a system Chrome) and/or set BrowserProfile(executable_path=...) so the runtime install is skipped. [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Starting an Agent with a local browser when no Chromium/Chrome is installed Steps: 1. Install uv/uvx or pre-install Chromium during image build. 2. Run the install with --with-deps as root on Linux. 3. Pass executable_path to BrowserProfile/BrowserSession. Expected: The error no longer appears. Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
