Research direction
Explore the Squoosh codebase to identify core user flows such as image upload, compression, and download. Look for any existing test setup (e.g., in a `tests/` directory or configuration files like `cypress.json` or `playwright.config.ts`). Determine which e2e testing framework is already in use or recommended by the project. Start by writing a single test for the basic image compression workflow.
