"""The smallest useful DevTools example: three devtools lines, one Selenium test.

This is the script reproduced in the integration one-pager, so keep the two in
sync when either changes.

Run it:

    pip install -e packages/selenium-devtools-py
    python examples/selenium/python-test/web_form.py

``enable()`` starts the dashboard backend itself when none is running. Set
DEVTOOLS_PORT instead to attach to one you already have open. Run output (the
screencast .webm) lands in ``test-results/`` beside this file, matching the JS
adapters.
