+/**
+ * Render smoke over EVERY registered tool: each page must return 200, mount its
+ * island (a visible <h1>), and not throw an uncaught exception. This one spec
+ * auto-covers all existing tools and every future tool the moment it's added to
+ * the registry — the cheap safety net beneath the per-tool happy-path specs.
+ *
+ * `pageerror` (uncaught JS) is collected but reported as an annotation rather
+ * than a hard failure, because a few tools legitimately throw on load in a
+ * headless browser (no WebGPU / camera / mic). The hard signal is: page loads
+ * and the island hydrates.
