Will this also allow codegen with non-incognito browser sessions, or would that be a new enhancement request?
The reason I ask incognito won't allow installation of browser extensions, so anyone who needs to use extensions would want codegen to support non-incognito mode (unless there's a way to do it now).

This issue is not about that, it would be a new one. We recommend for now just calling page.pause() inside your persistent context, which should also give you codegen.

Is there an update on this? I am currently looking into playwright and noticed the testIdAttribute not being respected when using the VS Code extension's "record" function. If I understood the various issues correctly this here would fix that as well? 🤔
