sootsim screenshot
Capture the canvas from the currently connected sim — full-screen by default, or cropped to a logical rect via —area / —id / —text. Falls back to a fresh headless chromium when no bridge is running.
terminal

Examples
terminal
Gallery Mode
Gallery mode exists so you do not have to hand-curate every target screen. It is especially useful for:
- visual smoke coverage after renderer changes
- theme reviews
- design QA passes across multiple entry points
If you only need one artifact, use --output and keep the capture narrow.
