Testing the way it should be

" summary

Claims that Cypress replaces Selenium for modern web testing with a JavaScript-first desktop app and headless Electron CI, demonstrates time travel snapshots that restore the DOM for each command, shows automatic retrying assertions that block until state matches, and uses native access to app run loop so tests can stub XHR, set state before load, and run debuggers. Demo runs on real sites, produces video/screenshots/logs for CI, and the project is in invite‑beta but installable from npm.
