Search results behavior

Single click usually selects. To open a search result, double click the gridcell.

• Results commonly open in a dialog, not a new tab.
• After closing the dialog, take a fresh snapshot before touching the next result.

Helper for reading multiple results:

const readGdriveResults = async (page, refs, action = 'snapshot', delay = 100) => {
  const results = [];
  for (const ref of refs) {
    await page.locator(ref).dblclick();
    await sleep(delay);
    if (action === 'snapshot') {
      results.push((await snapshot(page)).tree);
    } else if (action === 'screenshot') {
      results.push(await page.locator(ref).screenshot());
    }
    await page.keyboard.press('Escape');
    await snapshot(page);
  }
  return results;
};

Working style

• Prefer search, folder, and direct file URLs over browsing from the Drive home surface.
• Re-snapshot after open, close, share, and move dialogs because Drive re-renders panes heavily.
