Likely-insufficient library set for Playwright Chromium (latent)

Adding nspr and nss here resolves the immediate libnspr4.so / libnss3.so errors called out in the PR description, but Playwright's downloaded Chromium binary usually pulls in additional runtime deps that are still missing from this LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

  • libatk-1.0.so.0 (atk)
  • libatk-bridge-2.0.so.0 (at-spi2-atk)
  • libcups.so.2 (cups)
  • libdbus-1.so.3 (dbus)
  • libdrm.so.2 (libdrm)
  • libgbm.so.1 (mesa)
  • libxkbcommon.so.0 (libxkbcommon)
  • libgtk-3.so.0 (gtk3, headed mode only)

Once Chromium loads NSS successfully it will typically fail on the next missing library. You can verify with ldd node_modules/playwright-core/.local-browsers/chromium-*/chrome-linux/chrome | grep 'not found' on a Linux host.

Cleaner alternative: pkgs.playwright-driver.browsers bundles a working Chromium with all system deps and is usually what nixpkgs users reach for. If you want to keep the LD_LIBRARY_PATH approach, add the packages above so the fix is complete for typical launch() / page.goto flows.

The same comment applies to programs/bash/default.nix:124, programs/zsh/default.nix:54, and programs/fish/default.nix:33.
