Lightpanda CLI adds networkalmostidle support

Lightpanda, a lightweight headless browser built in Zig for AI agents and web automation, has updated its CLI to support `networkalmostidle` as a `--wait-until` condition. This integration allows automated tasks to proceed as soon as network activity subsides, ensuring that pages are effectively loaded without waiting for non-essential network connections to close, resulting in faster and more reliable agent interactions.

// ANALYSIS

While headless Chrome continues to dominate despite its massive resource footprint, Lightpanda is aggressively closing the feature gap for AI agents.

* Efficiency: Dramatically reduces idle time for scrapers and AI agents by moving forward as soon as major network traffic ceases.

* Compatibility: Seamless integration of `networkalmostidle` via the CLI matches expectations set by Puppeteer and Playwright.

* Lightweight alternative: Combines Zig's low-overhead performance with browser-native idle states, presenting a viable alternative to Chromium.
