Snapshots

After each command, patchright-cli provides a snapshot of the current browser state.

[Snapshot](.patchright-cli/page-2026-02-14T19-22-42-679Z.yml)

You can also take a snapshot on demand using patchright-cli snapshot command.

If --filename is not provided, a new snapshot file is created with a timestamp. Default to automatic file naming, use --filename= when artifact is a part of the workflow result.
