### Browser Not Starting (Linux)
If you see `"Failed to start Chrome CDP on port 18800"`:
**Most likely cause:** Snap-packaged Chromium on Ubuntu.
**Quick fix:** Install Google Chrome instead:
```bash
wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb
```
Then set in config:
```json
{
"browser": {
"executablePath": "/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable"
}
}
```
