About

This document outlines the configuration of a systemd unit designed to run the Playwright MCP server. The setup is opinionated, adhering to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and the curated SELinux policies found in Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions.

Rootful Container Execution

This systemd unit runs the Playwright MCP container in "rootful" mode, meaning the container is managed by a podman process running as the root user. This is in contrast to Podman's default and more secure "rootless" mode, which allows non-privileged users to run containers. Running as root is a deliberate choice in this configuration, often necessitated by requirements like binding to privileged ports below 1024.

architect> /ask why is it that you keep insisting on speaking to me in Spanish or German? What is causing this?

Nothing inside your repository is making me switch languages—the cause is on my side.
I’m instructed to reply in whichever language the user is using. The model decides which language that is by looking at the most recent user messages and guessing their predominant
language. If a previous turn of yours (or of another user in the same thread) was in Spanish or German, my heuristic may still “think” that’s the correct language and continue in it until
it notices enough English again. In short, it’s an over-eager language-detection heuristic, not anything in your codebase.

	│ The vector extension for RISC-V is an enhancement to the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) that allows multiple operations to be performed on multiple data elements in parallel, thereby increasing the │
	│ throughput of calculations and improving performance in data-intensive applications. This extension introduces new vector registers, vector instructions, and data alignment concepts to optimize the processing of │
	│ vector data.
