You can maintain a persistent Playwright session by enabling the js_repl feature to keep browser, context, and page handles alive across code edits, reducing startup time and flaky restarts during iterative UI debugging.

Yes, you can debug local Electron apps without restarting the toolchain by launching a persistent workspace session that preserves the Electron app window handle across multiple QA iterations and rapid visual verification checks.

You can switch between explicit viewport and native window modes during a Playwright QA session by following the guided bootstrap steps, allowing flexible visual verification for both local web and Electron applications.

Yes, you must enable the js_repl feature to reuse browser contexts and handles across edits, which is required to follow the setup and bootstrap steps for maintaining a stable, long-lived Playwright debugging environment.

Playwright debugging sessions flake or restart because standard configurations drop handles after each execution, whereas using a persistent session with shared contexts prevents these disruptive restarts during local web app testing.

The best way to run rapid QA checks is to start a persistent Playwright session in your workspace, which allows you to reuse shared handles and contexts for iterative development without restarting the entire toolchain.
