Request a stable screenshot API that captures the current rendered frame without waiting for page stability

Summary

I'd like to request a more stable screenshot API in playwright-cli.

Today, playwright-cli screenshot can fail on complex pages because of things like font readiness, pending resource loading, or unstable rendering state.

I also tried bypassing it with run-code + CDP Page.captureScreenshot, but that is still not reliable enough on some real pages.

What I need

I need a screenshot API with this behavior:

• do not wait for page stability
• do not wait for fonts or all resources to finish loading
• just capture whatever is currently rendered in the browser right now
• if the page is partially rendered, that is fine
• if resources are still loading, that is also fine
• returning a valid screenshot is more important than waiting for a "perfect" screenshot

Why this matters

For debugging and E2E evidence collection, an imperfect screenshot is often much better than no screenshot.

Right now, there is no reliable "capture now" API:

• the built-in screenshot path can fail
• direct run-code + CDP is also not stable enough as a workaround

Request

Could playwright-cli provide a stable screenshot API or mode whose contract is:

capture the current rendered browser frame as-is, without waiting for page stability, font readiness, or resource completion

Something like:

• playwright-cli screenshot --capture-now
• playwright-cli screenshot --no-wait
• playwright-cli screenshot --best-effort

The exact name is not important. The key is to prioritize operational reliability over screenshot completeness.
