Create isolated Puppeteer browser contexts with browser.createBrowserContext() for parallel sessions

Verified steps

  1. Launch a single browser with puppeteer.launch() and then call browser.createBrowserContext() for each isolated session rather than launching separate browser processes
  2. Open pages within each context using context.newPage(); pages within a context share cookies and storage with each other but are fully isolated from other contexts
  3. When the session is done, call context.close() to destroy the context and all its pages; this also clears all cookies and storage for that context
  4. The default context (browser.defaultBrowserContext()) cannot be closed; only explicitly created contexts can be disposed
  5. For parallel test execution, create one context per test worker and close it in the test teardown step
