get:
summary: The DOM snapshot at the failure
description: 'The snapshot at or before the moment the test failed: the end of the last action that failed in the step where the test error was recorded, so a caught error in an earlier step or an earlier toPass retry does not count; if none failed there, the end of the action running when the test error was recorded, or the next action event if it never ends (a timeout fails no action); otherwise the next action event after the test error; with no test error, the first action that failed; failing that, the last snapshot. Takes the same formats as snapshots/{id}, plus placeholder, and sends the same headers, except on a placeholder answer.'

description: '`1` returns 200 with a short HTML page (format=html only; other formats keep their error) in place of an error response. The `x-placeholder` header names the reason: `routeError` for no snapshot, a snapshot whose root refers to one the trace does not have, cached like any response; `notFound` for an unknown, malformed or expired link and `unavailable` for a storage or read error or an unexpected error, both sent with `cache-control: no-cache`. Default: unset, so errors keep their status. Other values are ignored.'

get:
summary: One DOM snapshot, rendered by format
description: '{id} is a snapshot name from the catalog (exact) or a trace timestamp in ms (snapshot at or before). Formats: json (default) — the catalog entry plus available formats; dom — the reconstructed markup as inert text, for reading and diffing; html — a browser-renderable styled page like the Playwright trace viewer''s (stylesheets inlined from the trace''s CSSOM captures, subresources rewritten to captured request bodies, scripts stripped, CSP-locked); aria — an approximate aria tree (static roles/accessible names; no layout, so visibility is best-effort); text — readable page text with interactive markers.'
