happo for npm release notes

• Restore --skippedExamples flag for the finalize command [by @trotzig in #467]

This version adds support for a --skip CLI argument (can be used with all integrations) and a --only CLI argument (Storybook only). These flags can be used to reduce the snapshots usage by running through a limited set of Happo examples. These arguments are defined as JSON arrays, with items following one of these structures:

{ "component": "Card" }

{ "component": "Card", "variant": "bordered" }

{ "storyFile": "./src/stories/Card.stories.js" }

The last format (using storyFile) is only supported for Storybook runs.

• Add --only CLI flag for Storybook integration to render only stories matching a given list, complementing the existing --skip functionality [by @trotzig in #463]
• Support storyFile items in --skip for Storybook integration, allowing entire story files to be skipped by path [by @trotzig in #460]
• Adjust auto-chunking to account for skipped stories, ensuring chunk count scales proportionally when --skip is used [by @trotzig in #462]
• Add release-with-ease dev dependency and release script for automated version management [by @trotzig in #465]

• A new experimental autoApplyPseudoStateAttributes: true|false option has been added to Playwright and Cypress integrations. If you enable it, Happo will automatically collect and represent :focus, :focus-visible, :active, and :hover states in the screenshots. This new option must be paired with the target config applyPseudoClasses: true.

• Flip allowPointerEvents default from false to true by @lencioni in https://github.com/happo/happo/pull/440

Happo no longer injects CSS to disable pointer events by default. In most cases this is the right behavior, and the allowPointerEvents setting is unlikely to be needed going forward.

If you notice unexpected diffs caused by hover effects after updating, you can set allowPointerEvents: false in your target config to restore the previous behavior.

As a side effect, Storybook interaction tests that were previously silently skipped due to pointer-events: none errors may now start appearing in your Happo reports.
