Screenshot pipeline

Captures real WHP screenshots into src/assets/screenshots/whp/.

Local-only. Never runs in CI. CI builds the static site; it never opens a browser or hits WHP.

Prerequisites

1. A demo WHP account (prod recommended for accuracy; staging works internally).
2. Network access to that WHP host.
3. Node 20+ and Playwright Chromium installed: npx playwright install chromium.

Configure

Create tools/screenshots/.env (gitignored):

WHP_BASE=https://whp01.cloud-hosting.io:8443
WHP_USER=demo-kb
WHP_PASS=…

The script reads these via process.env; pass them in your shell or use a .env loader like dotenv-cli.

Run

# Load .env into your shell (one option):
set -a; source tools/screenshots/.env; set +a
npm run screenshots

Outputs one PNG per entry in shots.config.ts to src/assets/screenshots/whp/<id>.png. Existing files are overwritten.

Capture rules

• Viewport: 1440×900. Locked. No fullPage. Playwright's viewport screenshots never include browser chrome — no address bar, no tab strip.
• Mask list: defaults (account ID, server hostname, user IP, billing column) plus per-shot additions.
• No address bar in any image. Multi-server fleet — we don't want a specific host in any screenshot.
• Use selector to clip to a region (e.g., just the sidebar) when the full viewport is noisier than useful.

Refresh workflow

UI changed? → run the capture (see below) locally → review the diffs (git diff --stat shows changed PNGs) → open each changed PNG and eyeball it for accidental leakage (server hostname, IP, account ID, customer domains/usernames) → commit → push.

• A page covered by shots.config.ts (a plain navigate-and-shoot page): npm run screenshots.
• A page that needs interaction — opening a modal, ticking checkboxes, switching tabs — lives in a section capture script (see below). Re-run that script instead.

When a section is reworked (not just restyled), also: re-walk the new UI to find every state worth a screenshot, update the section script's steps, add/rename the whp-<section>-* ids, then refresh the .mdx references and run npm run build to confirm links and images resolve.

Section capture scripts

shots.config.ts + run.ts only do navigate → redact → screenshot. Anything that needs interaction or per-section redaction gets its own capture-<section>.ts, run directly with tsx:

set -a; source tools/screenshots/.env; set +a
npx tsx tools/screenshots/capture-dns.ts

Script	Covers	Auth
capture-admin.ts	Server Settings tabs, admin pages	WHP_ADMIN_USER
capture-site-builder.ts	Site Builder editor states	WHP_USER
capture-dns.ts	Domains & DNS list, Add Domain modal, records editor, bulk toolbar	WHP_USER

Each script carries its own redact() (text-node + input-value swaps) so fleet hostnames, IPs, and customer data become neutral placeholders while brand/demo domains stay visible. Copy the closest existing script when adding a new section — match its viewport (1440×900), deviceScaleFactor: 2, and read-only discipline (open modals and tick boxes for the shot, but never save/delete/submit).

Adding a new shot

1. Static page? Add an entry to shots.config.ts with a stable id, then npm run screenshots.
2. Interactive state? Add the step to the relevant capture-<section>.ts (or copy one for a new section), then npx tsx tools/screenshots/capture-<section>.ts.
3. Reference the new file in your .mdx: ![Alt text](~/assets/screenshots/whp/<id>.png).
