| 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. |

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:
uv run python scripts/check_screenshots.py .agents/evidence/pr/
uv run python scripts/verify_screenshots.py .traces/trace_*.html
git add .agents/evidence/pr/
Fixing common failures
| Failure | Fix |
|---|
very small image (WxH; minimum is 400x400) | Retake screenshot at a larger viewport or higher resolution |
narrow desktop viewport (Wpx < 1280px) | Resize browser window to >= 1280px wide before capturing |
mostly blank/white image | Ensure the screenshot captures actual content, not an empty page |
No sidebar — viewer not rendered | Viewer HTML is broken; regenerate from trace JSONL |
JS errors | Check viewer.html for syntax errors in embedded data |
