Regenerating this tour
The series comes from a Playwright script against the seeded demo case. Rebuild the app, then run from the repository root:test-results/readme/ with light and dark variants of every shot. The light variants are referenced directly; manually copy the dark variants (e.g., screenshot-case-dark.png) into website/content/images/ to update the dark-mode versions on the site.
