feat(install): add --no-progress to silence download progress bar#41104
Merged
Conversation
Adds a `--no-progress` flag to `playwright install` and a `PLAYWRIGHT_DOWNLOAD_NO_PROGRESS` env variable (also honored during automatic installs, e.g. `npm install`) to suppress the noisy download progress bar. The "Downloading ..." / "... downloaded to ..." lines and errors are still printed. The progress is gated at the source in the download child process to avoid wasted per-chunk IPC. Fixes: microsoft#41099
