e2e @e2e-dev/web@0.12.0 Pins Playwright

@e2e-dev/web@0.12.0 pins its tested Playwright version, adds browser-install commands, init scripts, locale and timezone controls, and fixes several locator and navigation edge cases. The release makes e2e more reproducible while expanding Playwright compatibility for agent-driven tests.

// ANALYSIS

This is a practical hardening release for an ambitious AI testing framework: less dependency drift, more deterministic environments, and better parity with Playwright.

–Exact Playwright pinning prevents projects from silently running an untested browser engine.
–`initScripts`, locale, and timezone controls cover essential setup needs for realistic test environments.
–Navigation allowlists and improved action recording strengthen security and replay reliability.
–Teams upgrading must remove direct `playwright` dependencies and switch CI browser installation commands.
–The release reinforces e2e’s hybrid approach: agents handle flexible interaction, while assertions and replay keep runs deterministic.

Parakeet Redux Makes Local ASR Tiny

Moondream’s Parakeet Redux compresses NVIDIA’s 0.6B Parakeet model into a 178MB, 1.58-bit speech recognizer for fast CPU and Apple Silicon inference. It supports 25 languages and preserves near-original English accuracy, though noisy audio remains a clear weakness.
