Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported npm install, npx puppeteer browsers install chrome, and JSON-to-SVG launch sequence. Inspect how highcharts-export-server locates Puppeteer's Chrome and compare that with the installation location used by Puppeteer. Done means the downloaded Chrome instance is detected and the conversion completes successfully.
