+/**
+ * Regression test for #3768.
+ *
+ * The webview autosave must export the document *silently*. SuperDoc's
+ * `export()` defaults `triggerDownload: true`, which opens a browser
+ * "Save File" dialog (via `showSaveFilePicker`). Because the debounced
+ * autosave and the Cmd/Ctrl+S handler both call `saveDocument()`, the dialog
+ * popped on essentially every edit. Passing `triggerDownload: false` makes
+ * `export()` return the Blob directly — which is what the `postMessage` save
+ * path consumes.
+ *
+ * Uses static analysis of the source (no webview/DOM runtime needed), matching
+ * the approach in superdoc-contract.test.ts.
