[Codex] Decouple default builds from robotgo dependencies

[dmisiuk]

Summary

• refactor the visual screenshot harness to use an abstract screenshot engine with a mock fallback so default builds no longer import robotgo
• add build-tagged robotgo engine implementations so full visual evidence still compiles when opting into the visualtests tag

Testing

• make format-check
• make vet
• go build ./...
• go test ./tests/unit ./tests/integration ./tests/e2e

	// CaptureScreen captures a screenshot using the configured engine
	func (sc *ScreenshotCapture) CaptureScreen(eventType string) (string, error) {
	// Ensure output directory exists
	if err := os.MkdirAll(sc.OutputDir, 0755); err != nil {
	return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to create output directory: %w", err)
	}
	if sc.capturer == nil {
	factory := &ScreenshotEngineFactory{}
	sc.capturer = factory.CreateEngine()
	}
	// Generate filename with timestamp and event type
	filename := fmt.Sprintf("%s_%s_%s.png",
	sc.TestName,
	eventType,
	sc.Timestamp.Format("20060102_150405"))
	filePath := filepath.Join(sc.OutputDir, filename)
	img, err := sc.capturer.Capture()
	if err != nil {
	return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to capture screen: %w", err)
	}
	// Save with PNG format for lossless compression
	if err := imaging.Save(img, filePath); err != nil {
	return "", fmt.Errorf("failed to save screenshot: %w", err)

[P0] Restore error propagation for unwritable screenshot directories

The new fallback engine causes CaptureScreen to succeed even when a caller points it at a non‑existent or unwritable directory. Existing tests rely on the function returning an error for paths such as /invalid/path/…, but after this change the call now silently creates the directory and writes a mock image, so TestVisualUtilsComprehensive/ScreenshotCapture_InvalidDirectory fails. Either preserve the previous behaviour by surfacing an error when the directory cannot be created or written to, or update the tests. As it stands, go test ./tests/visual fails.

	// GenerateVisualReport generates a visual test execution report
	func (vtl *VisualTestLogger) GenerateVisualReport() error {
	reportPath := filepath.Join(vtl.OutputDir, fmt.Sprintf("%s_visual_report.html", vtl.TestName))
	// Create HTML report with visual timeline
	htmlContent := vtl.generateHTMLReport()
	if err := os.WriteFile(reportPath, []byte(htmlContent), 0644); err != nil {
	return fmt.Errorf("failed to write visual report: %w", err)

[P0] Visual report generation ignores read‑only directories

GenerateVisualReport writes directly with os.WriteFile and only relies on the syscall error. When the tests make the output directory read‑only (chmod 0444), the call still succeeds when executed as root, so TestVisualUtilsErrorPaths/GenerateVisualReport_InvalidPermissions now fails. To make the behaviour consistent and detect permission problems, check the directory’s writable bit (e.g. via os.Stat/ModePerm) before writing and return an explicit error when write permission is absent. Otherwise the negative permission test continues to fail.

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors the visual screenshot testing infrastructure to decouple default builds from robotgo dependencies. The changes introduce an abstract screenshot engine with build-tagged implementations that allow visual tests to compile conditionally while maintaining backward compatibility.

Key changes:

• Abstracted screenshot engine interface with mock fallback implementation
• Split robotgo implementation into build-tagged files (stub and full versions)
• Migrated legacy integration tests to new E2E testing framework with recording capabilities

The defer statement to free the bitmap should be placed immediately after the nil check for bitmap to ensure proper cleanup even if subsequent operations fail.

The lazy initialization of sc.capturer is not thread-safe. If multiple goroutines call CaptureScreen simultaneously, they could create multiple capturer instances. Consider using sync.Once or adding a mutex to protect this initialization.

[Copilot]

The stderr event uses the same timestamp as the exit event (duration.Seconds()). Consider using a slightly earlier timestamp like duration.Seconds() * 0.9 to ensure stderr appears before the exit message in the recording timeline.
