      The postinstall log shows two browsers being downloaded in parallel:

      • chrome (142.0.7444.175) → downloaded fine
      • chrome-headless-shell → failed with
      The browser folder (/Users/ec2-user/.cache/puppeteer/chrome-headless-shell/mac_arm-142.0.7444.175) exists but the executable (.../chrome-headless-shell-mac-arm64/chrome-headless-shell) is missing

      The directory was left behind from a prior interrupted/partial download, and puppeteer refuses to re-download over a half-populated folder.
