That makes sense for some of the examples the described (e.g. a QA workflow asking the agent to take a screenshot and put it into a folder).
However, this is not true for an active dev workflow when you actually do want it to see that the elements are not lining up or are overlapping or not behaving correctly. So token savings are possible...if your use case doesn't require the bytes in context (which most active dev use cases probably do)*
I was actually thinking if I should support daemons just to support playwright. Now I don't have a use case for it
