Require playwright-core 1.62+, where asLocator now lives

[DavertMik]

main, #129 and #130 all fail the same twelve renderCall tests. None of them caused it.

error: Playwright output is not compatible with this Playwright version
(playwright-core/lib/utils does not expose asLocator)
  at getAsLocator (src/playwright-recorder.ts:20)

Cause

Playwright 1.62 dropped lib/utils from playwright-core and moved the isomorphic helpers into lib/coreBundle, which the package publicly exports:

"exports": { "./lib/coreBundle": "./lib/coreBundle.js", ... }

asLocator now lives there under iso. The recorder still required playwright-core/lib/utils.

package.json asked for playwright ^1.62 but never for playwright-core, so the copy at the root of the tree was whatever satisfied @axe-core/playwright's playwright-core >= 1.0.0 peer. A fresh install dedupes it to 1.62.1 and CI goes red; a tree still holding an older copy resolves lib/utils and passes. That is the whole CI-vs-local split, and it made the break invisible during development.

Change

• package.json — playwright-core: ^1.62 as a direct dependency, so the root copy is the one the recorder is written against.
• src/playwright-recorder.ts — getAsLocator() reads iso.asLocator from lib/coreBundle. One entry point, no version ladder.

const asLocator = nodeRequire('playwright-core/lib/coreBundle')?.iso?.asLocator;

Explorbot supports Playwright 1.62+.

Verification

With playwright-core@1.62.1 now at the root, the local tree is the same one CI builds — no simulation involved:

bun test tests/unit/ 1022 pass · bun test tests/integration/ 80 pass, 1 skip (live-session test) · lint clean · format clean · build:npm ok.

The twelve renderCall tests are the regression guard — they fail the moment asLocator cannot be reached.

Merging this turns #129 and #130 green too.
