os/debian — OS Install Verification (debian:13)

A stock debian:13 container, provisioned with Ansible to install exactly the OS packages needed for the Robot Framework suites under tests/ (Browser Library / Playwright) to run headless.

How this works

Opening this folder as a devcontainer (or running it in CI via docker run) does two things, in order:

1. .devcontainer/oncreate.sh bootstraps Ansible and runs the shared browser-deps role to install the packages listed above.
2. .devcontainer/postcreate.sh then runs every Robot Framework suite under tests/ to verify the install actually works end-to-end — not just that packages installed, but that real headless browser tests pass.

A full run log (per-step status, exact versions, this file's content again) is written to report.md inside the container. That file is not committed to this repo — see it after opening the devcontainer yourself, or download it from the os-report-debian artifact on the upstream CI run.
