General rendering strategy
Use Remotion's bundled browser for rendering, including compositions using
<HtmlInCanvas>. It includes the required browser APIs and Remotion's browser
fixes. Let Remotion download or update it as needed. Do not reuse a recording
browser or set --browser-executable, browserExecutable, or chromeMode
unless the user explicitly requests a different browser.
