The element under the mouse pointer scrolls, so use `mousemove` to move over it first.

record navigation:

```bash
playwright-cli open
playwright-cli tracing-start
playwright-cli goto https://example.com

### Raw output

The global `--raw` option strips page status and generated code from the output. It keeps
the result value, errors, and the page snapshot (or the link to the snapshot file).
Commands that don't produce output return nothing.

```bash
playwright-cli --raw eval "JSON.stringify(performance.timing)" | jq '.loadEventEnd - .navigationStart'
```

### Targeting elements

By default, use refs from the snapshot to interact with page elements.
