## Requirements & limits

- Manual capture needs access to the target browser session. Crawling requires Node.js/npm, Playwright and its Chromium browser; the reviewed package declares Playwright ^1.44.0 but no Node engines minimum.
- The Node.js reconstructor processes saved captures offline. The toolkit is experimental; generated architecture, OpenAPI, SDK and mock-server outputs need review.
- Browser-side capture cannot read HttpOnly cookies or bypass authorization. Request hooks see traffic only after installation; source-map references are hints, and true screenshots require browser automation.
- Authenticated captures may contain sensitive data. MIT-licensed.
