name: screenshot-validation description: Validate screenshot and viewer HTML quality for PR evidence. Run this after adding or modifying images under .agents/evidence/pr/ or .agents/recordings/, or after generating a new viewer HTML file. Combines image quality checks (resolution, blankness, file size) with Playwright-based viewer rendering verification. user_invocable: true

Screenshot Validation

Validate that evidence images and viewer HTML files meet quality standards before committing. This catches issues that would otherwise fail CI or produce misleading PR evidence.

Image quality check

Checks PNG/JPG/GIF/WEBP files for:

• Minimum dimensions: 400x400 pixels (hard fail)
• Desktop viewport width: >= 1280px (warning if narrower)
• File size: <= 5MB (warning if larger)
• Blankness detection (PNG only): fails if > 90% of pixels are white/transparent

Run on specific files or directories

uv run python scripts/check_screenshots.py .agents/evidence/pr/
uv run python scripts/check_screenshots.py .agents/recordings/
uv run python scripts/check_screenshots.py path/to/specific-image.png

Run on git-staged images

scripts/check_screenshots.sh

This shell wrapper automatically finds staged PNG/JPG files and runs the quality check on them — useful as a pre-commit sanity check.

Viewer HTML rendering verification

Uses Playwright (headless Chromium) to verify that generated viewer HTML files actually render correctly — not just raw JSON or Python errors.

Checks:

• No JavaScript errors on page load
• Normal traces render a sidebar with entries and a detail panel
• Empty embedded traces render the explicit "No API calls captured" state
• Body text doesn't contain raw JSON dumps or Python tracebacks

Run

uv run python scripts/verify_screenshots.py .traces/trace_*.html

Requires Playwright to be installed (uv pip install playwright && playwright install chromium).

Typical workflow

After generating new evidence for a PR:

# 1. Check image quality
uv run python scripts/check_screenshots.py .agents/evidence/pr/

# 2. If you generated new viewer HTML, verify it renders
uv run python scripts/verify_screenshots.py .traces/trace_*.html

# 3. If all passes, stage and commit
git add .agents/evidence/pr/
