-// Text comparison for the web-first matchers, and readable notes for the
-// failures that invisible characters cause.
-//
-// Two rules, and they are deliberately different:
-//
-//   * **Matching is Playwright's.** `expect(locator).toHaveText(...)` and
-//     `toContainText(...)` normalize whitespace on BOTH sides exactly as
-//     playwright's own text engine does (`normalizeWhiteSpace` in
-//     playwright-core). Without this the SDK disagreed with itself: the same
-//     string matched through `getByText("15 000 kr")` (playwright's engine,
-//     which normalizes) and failed through `toContainText("15 000 kr")`
-//     (ours, which did a raw `includes`). The case that reported it is
-//     Swedish number formatting — `Intl.NumberFormat("sv-SE")` groups
-//     thousands with U+00A0 NO-BREAK SPACE, and JavaScript's `\s` covers
-//     U+00A0, so normalization makes a typed space match it.
-//
-//   * **Diagnostics are wider.** A value the author compares themselves
-//     (`expect(body).toContain(...)`, `toHaveValue`) is still exact, as it
-//     must be — so when such a comparison fails on characters that print the
-//     same, the message has to say so. `textDifferenceNote` reports the
-//     invisible or look-alike characters that are the whole difference, and
-//     `escapeInvisible` makes the two printed strings differ on screen.
+// Text diagnostics only. Browser comparisons are delegated to Playwright.
