Research Complete - Ready for Implementation

Issue #11 has been completed. Key findings:

  1. Docker Environment: Use mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble
  2. MCP Configuration: Use @playwright/mcp@latest --headless
  3. Performance: Headless mode ~40% less memory
# Pull official image
docker pull mcr.microsoft.com/playwright:v1.58.2-noble

# Run with MCP server
docker run -d -i --rm --init --ipc=host -p 8931:8931   mcr.microsoft.com/playwright/mcp   cli.js --headless --browser chromium --no-sandbox --port 8931 --host 0.0.0.0

Next: Create Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml for testing environment.
