WSL first-render success (34.7%) is dominated by a downloaded chrome-headless-shell that launches into `libnss3.so: cannot open shared object file` — doctor/preflight only checked the binary exists, never that it can load its libraries. - New linuxDeps.ts: /etc/os-release distro detection (Debian/Fedora/Arch/Alpine) + WSL detection, per-distro Chrome dep set, ldd-based shared-lib probe. - preflight.checkChrome downgrades a found-but-unlaunchable Chrome to a render-blocking error with the exact per-distro install command. - Distro-aware ffmpeg hints; launch failures converted to actionable guidance pointing at `hyperframes doctor` (skipped on ARM64). - Detect + print remediation (no auto-install). Render-reliability workstream P1-4. Success measured on PostHog dashboard 1783183. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
