- Automatically detects when browsers are not installed - Runs 'npx playwright install <browser>' automatically on first use - Handles browser installation for chromium, firefox, and webkit - Provides clear error messages if auto-installation fails - Updates README with browser installation information - No breaking changes - fully backward compatible Fixes issue where users get 'Executable doesn't exist' error on first run. Users no longer need to manually run 'npx playwright install' before using the server.

Review Summary
This PR introduces automatic browser installation functionality and updates several dependencies. While the auto-installation feature is valuable for user experience, there are critical security and stability issues that must be addressed before merging.
🚨 Critical Issues Found:
- Security Vulnerability: Command injection risk in
installBrowsers()function due toshell: trueusage - Breaking Change Risk: Express v5 upgrade introduces breaking changes that could affect HTTP server functionality
- Resource Management: Memory leaks and process cleanup issues in timeout handling
✅ Positive Changes:
- Automatic browser installation improves user experience
- Dependency updates bring security patches and new features
- Comprehensive documentation updates in README
🔧 Required Actions:
- Remove
shell: truefrom spawn options to prevent command injection - Add input validation for browserType parameter
- Fix timeout and process cleanup logic
- Consider staying on Express v4.x to avoid breaking changes
The auto-installation feature is well-designed conceptually, but the implementation needs security hardening before it can be safely deployed.

🛑 Breaking Change Risk: Express v5 introduces breaking changes that could affect the HTTP server functionality. The major version bump from 4.18.2 to 5.2.1 includes changes to middleware behavior, error handling, and API compatibility that may break existing functionality.

Add input validation to prevent command injection attacks. The browserType parameter should be validated against a whitelist of allowed values.

🛑 Resource Leak: The timeout handler doesn't clean up process event listeners, potentially causing memory leaks. The process may continue running even after timeout.

Clear the timeout when the process completes to prevent the timeout handler from executing after successful completion.

Clear the timeout in the error handler to prevent race conditions between error and timeout handlers.
