Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked kotest runner task (#186) and the existing Selfie runner architecture. The issue lists support for JS, Node.js via mocha, and in-browser testing via Karma; done means each requested runner works in its stated environment, including the browser filesystem flow described here.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement js
  • make our kotest runner support js (#186)
  • create selfie-runner-mocha for Node.js testing
  • create selfie-runner-karma for in-browser testing
    • piping the filesystem to/from the browser is tricky, but karma-snapshot figured it out
    • this is why the FS is provided by SnapshotStorage
