fix: enable Playwright MCP browser automation in Docker containers
Resolves Playwright browser installation failures in Docker by using Wolfi's system Chromium instead of downloading Playwright's bundled browsers at runtime. ## Problem When running in Docker, agents attempted to install browsers via `browser_install` tool, which failed due to: - Permission issues (non-root user couldn't install system dependencies) - npx @playwright/mcp spawns with its own Playwright dependency separate from global installations - Playwright's bundled browsers require runtime download (~280MB) and glibc deps - Environment variables alone (PLAYWRIGHT_BROWSERS_PATH) weren't sufficient ## Solution **Dockerfile changes:** - Use Wolfi's native `chromium` package (guaranteed compatible, already installed) - Remove Playwright browser installation step (saves ~280MB and build time) - Add explicit `SHANNON_DOCKER=true` environment variable for reliable detection - Set PLAYWRIGHT_CHROMIUM_EXECUTABLE_PATH to point to system Chromium **Code changes (claude-executor.js):** - Detect Docker via `process.env.SHANNON_DOCKER` (more reliable than /.dockerenv) - Conditionally add `--executable-path /usr/bin/chromium-browser` CLI arg for Docker - Local: Use Playwright's bundled browsers (downloaded to ~/Library/Caches/) - Docker: Use system Chromium with no runtime downloads ## Research Findings - @playwright/mcp has separate playwright-core dependency (v1.56.0-alpha) - MCP server spawned via npx doesn't inherit browser binaries from global install - --executable-path CLI argument is required (env vars insufficient) - /.dockerenv file is unreliable (missing in BuildKit, K8s, can be spoofed) ## Testing ✅ Docker: All 5 parallel agents successfully navigate, screenshot, create deliverables ✅ Local: All 5 parallel agents successfully navigate, screenshot, create deliverables ✅ No browser_install calls, no permission errors ✅ Image size reduced by ~280MB Fixes #docker-playwright-browser-issues 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
