+ * `bridge-call`/`bridge-screenshot` cases, the server-side half) instead of
+ * Playwright's `page.evaluate` (`client.ts`'s `PageTransport`). Used by

+ * a human is watching, with zero new browser windows and zero extra vite
+ * instances.
+ *
+ * The `bridge-call` op is a session-generic primitive (see
+ * `command-listener.ts`'s `dispatchBridgeMethod` doc comment) — this
+ * transport issues one HTTP round trip per call and carries no state beyond
+ * the port, so it (or a sibling built the same way) is equally usable by a
+ * one-shot CLI/REPL call, not just a whole scripted run.
+ *
+ * Deliberately imports nothing from `@playwright/test` — see
+ * `bridge-transport.ts`'s module doc for why that matters (no browser launch
