+ *
+ * These tests:
+ * 1. Launch a REAL Chrome browser to https://members-ng.iracing.com/web/racing/hosted/browse-sessions
+ * 2. Use REAL NutJsAutomationAdapter with REAL nut.js mouse/keyboard
+ * 3. Use REAL TemplateMatchingService with REAL OpenCV template matching
+ * 4. Capture REAL screenshots from the ACTUAL display
+ *
+ * Tests will FAIL if:
+ * - Permissions not granted (macOS accessibility/screen recording)
+ * - User is NOT logged into iRacing
+ * - Template images don't match the real iRacing UI
+ * - Real automation cannot execute
+ *
+ * PREREQUISITES:
+ * - User must be logged into iRacing in their default browser
