Description

Add the ability to “promote” any test screen capture, e.g. add a "promote” button to each test screenshot on the report -- clicking the button promotes the selected changes to a reference image.

Reference files would then be updated on a selector by selector basis (without having to run an entirely new reference pass).

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the test screenshot capture flow and implement a button to promote a screenshot to reference image.
