+parked absolutely at `0,0` inside that host because a second webview stacked below the
+1px clip still has no copyable surface. During capture, the renderer raises the target
+webview above the other resident webviews; an overlay or sibling above the target can make
+full-page CDP capture fail. Main captures only after the renderer acknowledges two
