Description

These would mainly test the crosstalk/highlight functionality...

I'm not sure what the best approach is in terms of testing infrastructure. Using RSelenium in animint was a big headache, but it seems there have been a bunch of improvements lately.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the existing test infrastructure in the repository, understand the crosstalk/highlight functionality, and explore lightweight JavaScript testing options (e.g., Cypress, Playwright) to avoid RSelenium complexity.
