//! Downloading a known-good browser.
//!
//! # Why this exists
//!
//! Every other part of proofsheet is deterministic, and then the first run on
//! a fresh machine fails because there is no Chrome. "Install Chrome" is a
//! surprisingly bad instruction: a desktop Chrome auto-updates underneath
//! you, so the browser producing your screenshots changes without you asking,
//! and the images churn. Chrome for Testing exists precisely to be pinned.
//!
//! # Why it shells out, and why that reasoning is provisional
//!
//! Fetching over HTTPS from Rust means a TLS stack, and unzipping means an
//! inflate implementation; this crate has neither. The original argument was
//! "the crate hand-rolls its WebSocket, so it should not take dependencies
//! here either" -- which is aesthetic consistency, not an engineering
//! criterion, and it does not survive contact with the real questions:
//! reliability, attack surface, portability, diagnosability, maintenance and
//! size.
//!
//! The counter-argument that actually bites: this command is the onboarding
//! path, and depending on combinations of curl / unzip / python3 / PowerShell
//! multiplies the environment states that must work. Dependency count is not
//! the metric; controlled failure surface is.
//!
//! So this implementation is treated as PROVISIONAL. It stays only while it
//! behaves like a declared runtime dependency:
//!
//! - tools are detected up front, before a 100MB download ([`preflight`])
//! - the archive lands in a temp path and a partial install is cleaned up
//! - the archive's SHA-256 is recorded, and re-verified on reinstall
//! - the installed binary must execute and report a version
//! - the exact external commands are named in every error
//!
//! Measured failure data across clean OS images decides whether it graduates
//! or is replaced by a TLS + inflate dependency. Not taste.
//!
//! # On verification
//!
//! Chrome for Testing publishes no checksums -- its manifest carries only
//! `platform` and `url` -- so there is no upstream hash to check against.
//! What is possible is trust-on-first-use: record the SHA-256 of what was
//! downloaded next to the install, and verify it if the same version is
//! fetched again. That does not protect the first download beyond TLS, and
//! this comment exists so nobody later mistakes it for something stronger.
//! It does make a pinned version reproducible across a team and CI.
