Research direction

Start by reviewing PR #32 and the current image-based test setup. Investigate how failures in CI attempt to open an interactive browser session, then define and implement a replacement testing approach. Done means image-based test failures no longer hang while trying to open an interactive browser in CI.

Description

I originally introduced image-based tests in PR #32. Although it is very easy to run such tests, when they fail in CI they hang as they attempt to open an interactive browser session. I cannot see an easy way around this, so instead I plan to rewrite the image-testing system in some other way that is easier to use when tests fail.
