Research direction

Start by locating the code that creates and reads .ss snapshots, then inspect how snapshot tests are covered. Determine the integration boundary for .ss.asar using asar and verify binary snapshots can be written and read; the issue names no files or tests, so a focused regression test should define done.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

The .ss file extension we are using right now is optimized for text. It would be good to have a snapshot extension optimized for binary. I think asar is perfect for that, using .ss.asar.
