> Introduce a facility, in the form of JUnit5 annotation, to allow for capturing a desktop screenshot of a failed test.
> 
> The primary intent is to be able to debug an intermittent test case, rather than wholesale addition of the new annotation to all the tests.
> 
> The log contains a base-64 encoded screenshot (like this: `data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEU...` )
> so it can be rendered in Safari (Chrome truncates the image possibly due to following a url length limit)
> 
> Additionally, provided a utility class to capture the screenshots at the specific point in a test and write it to stdout/stderr:
> 
> 
> // write a base-64 encoded screenshot to stderr
> ScreenshotCapture.writeScreenshot(System.err);
> 
> 
> Example:
> 
> ![jenkins-screenshot](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/abebd76f-747a-4d6d-a9a6-63c6e9426830)
