Conversation
Closes #11 A bridge, not a replacement guide — explicitly does not claim to replace Playwright. Familiar-vs-different framing: what's familiar (accessibility- first getByRole/getByLabel locators, auto-waiting, web-first assertThat, convention over config) with a Playwright->Selenium Boot API mapping, and what's genuinely different (WebDriver/W3C architecture, JVM/Java runtime using installed browsers, Selenium Grid scaling). Includes an honest "when to use which" table. Added to the Migration sidebar. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
