* under the emulation layer captures a *mixed* frame: the panes that
* re-rendered come out light while the rest of the chrome stays dark, with
* the DOM and computed styles insisting the whole page is light. The app is
* not at fault -- update() calls applyTheme() synchronously and the CSS does
* flip --bg to #f6f8fa. The compositor simply does not repaint everything a
* CSS-variable change touches while metrics are overridden. Launching Chrome
* at --window-size and never calling setDeviceMetricsOverride renders it
* correctly, which is what docs/screenshots-light.mjs does.
*
* assertTheme() stays either way: without it this script wrote a dark
* screenshot under a light caption and reported success, and that is how the
* README came to show the same theme twice for months.
