- `showActions({ style: { point, highlight, title } })` takes CSS declarations for each decoration
- point marker and target highlight are opt-in, rendered via dedicated screencast elements
- deprecate `fontSize` in favor of `style.title`
- cursor stays at the last action point, survives navigations and travels along a slightly curved path
- macOS-style cursor
- `--cursor` for `video-start`, `--point-style`, `--highlight-style`, `--title-style` for `video-show-actions`

## ✨ Highlights - **🎬 Smooth 60 fps, styleable videos** — `video-start --fps=60` records smooth 60 fps videos instead of the default 25, and `video-start --cursor` renders an animated mouse cursor that travels to each action point and stays visible between actions. `video-show-actions` takes `--point-style`, `--highlight-style` and `--title-style` CSS declarations; the action point marker and the target highlight are now only shown when styled. ([microsoft/playwright#42752](microsoft/playwright#42752), [microsoft/playwright#42758](microsoft/playwright#42758)) - **🧰 WebMCP tools show up in the snapshot** — the tools a page registers are listed at the top of the page snapshot with their descriptions and input schemas, so `webmcp-call` can be used without running `webmcp-list` first. Set `webmcp: false` in the config file (env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_WEBMCP=false`) to stop collecting page-registered tools. ([microsoft/playwright#42671](microsoft/playwright#42671)) - **🌗 Switch between light and dark color scheme** ([microsoft/playwright#42243](microsoft/playwright#42243)) — an agent working on a dark theme had no way to see it mid-session. New `set-color-scheme`, `set-reduced-motion`, `set-forced-colors`, `set-contrast` and `set-media` commands emulate media features on the fly, and the matching `clear-*` commands reset them. ([microsoft/playwright#42668](microsoft/playwright#42668)) - **📁 Absolute paths in results** ([microsoft/playwright#42497](microsoft/playwright#42497)) — links to snapshots, screenshots, console logs and downloads are relative to the working directory, which a consumer without one cannot resolve. Set `filePaths: "absolute"` in the config file (env `PLAYWRIGHT_MCP_FILE_PATHS=absolute`) to get absolute paths instead. ([microsoft/playwright#42673](microsoft/playwright#42673)) ## 🐛 Fixes - `fix(chromium): bypass service workers on the storage state page` — `state-save` no longer runs the site's own scripts, or fails when they redirect, for origins with an active service worker ([microsoft/playwright#42656](microsoft/playwright#42656)). ([#42664](microsoft/playwright#42664), [#42741](microsoft/playwright#42741)) - `fix(mcp): keep upload modal, skip short secrets and bad headers` — a failed `upload` keeps the file chooser open so it can be retried, secrets shorter than 4 characters no longer rewrite the whole output with `<secret>` markers, and `route` ignores header lines that have no name. ([#42713](microsoft/playwright#42713)) ## 📦 Upgrading ```bash npm install -g @playwright/cli@0.1.21 ```
