fix(install): support non-sudo service-user installs on apt distros (#25814)
The Debian/Ubuntu branch of install_node_deps() ran 'npx playwright install
--with-deps chromium' unconditionally. Playwright invokes sudo interactively
to apt-install Chromium's system libraries, which blocks the installer for
non-sudo users (systemd service accounts, unprivileged operator users) on
an unsatisfiable password prompt.

Changes:
- install.sh: gate --with-deps behind a sudo capability check on the apt
  branch (matches the existing Arch/pacman branch pattern). Non-sudo users
  fall back to 'npx playwright install chromium' alone and the installer
  prints the exact 'sudo npx playwright install-deps chromium' command an
  administrator can run separately.
- install.sh: add --skip-browser (alias --no-playwright) to skip the
  Playwright step entirely for headless installs that don't need browser
  automation. Mirrors the existing --no-venv / --skip-setup shape.
- installation.md: add a 'Non-Sudo / System Service User Installs' section
  covering the admin/service-user split, the --skip-browser flag, and the
  ~/.local/bin PATH gotcha (the root cause of the 'No module named dotenv'
  error users hit when running the repo source 'hermes' script with system
  Python instead of the venv launcher).
- test_install_sh_browser_install.py: regression coverage for the
  --skip-browser flag and the sudo-gate on the apt branch.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
