Cross-origin-inside-cross-origin therefore remains an inherent Cypress limitation (documented in code), but for the common case of cross-origin iframes nested in a same-origin parent we now at least emit the percyElementId entry so downstream tooling sees the structure. Same skip rules as before (about:blank, javascript:, data:, blob:, vbscript:, chrome:, chrome-extension:, srcdoc).
