Lightpanda adds Web Scheduler API across window and worker contexts

Lightpanda, an open-source headless browser built in Zig for AI agents and automated web workflows, has introduced support for the Scheduler API (scheduler.postTask) across both window and web worker contexts. This update allows web applications relying on browser-level task prioritization and scheduled execution to run seamlessly without script breakages.

// ANALYSIS

Omitting modern browser APIs like `scheduler.postTask` is a common failure point for lightweight headless browsers attempting to execute modern web applications. By implementing the Scheduler API in both main thread and worker contexts, Lightpanda significantly boosts compatibility with contemporary front-end frameworks without giving up its signature low-memory performance advantages.

–**Full Context Support**: Implements `scheduler.postTask` in both window and worker execution scopes.
–**Framework Compatibility**: Prevents crashes on web pages utilizing modern JavaScript task scheduling and prioritization libraries.
–**Enhanced Automation**: Increases execution reliability for Playwright and Puppeteer pipelines targeting modern web applications.
