chrome-devtools-axi is useless without an actual Chromium binary capable of a headless launch - the binary alone is not enough, since on Debian/Ubuntu-family hosts a headless launch also needs shared libs like libnspr4 that are not installed by default even when a cached Playwright Chromium binary is already present. Hit for real on crew-allesknut (Ubuntu 26.04) and fixed with `npx --yes playwright install-deps chromium`.

Intent
Add Chromium + its OS-level shared-library dependencies as a required toolchain item in docs/configuration.md, matching the doc's existing manual-install framing
What Changed
docs/configuration.mdthatchrome-devtools-axi's headless launches require a real Chromium binary plus its OS-level shared-library dependencies (e.g.libnspr4on Debian/Ubuntu), and that bootstrap does not currently detect or report this like it does fortasks-axi/quota-axi.npx --yes playwright install-deps chromium) to install those dependencies before session start.MISSING: chromiumbootstrap line exists today, avoiding any implication that bootstrap auto-detects the Chromium toolchain.Risk Assessment
✅ Low: Documentation-only change confined to docs/configuration.md; verified against bin/fm-bootstrap.sh that the claims made (bootstrap's COMMON_TOOLS list has no chromium detection) are accurate, and the change fulfills the stated intent using the doc's existing manual-install framing with no code or behavior changes.
