If you are working on front-end features, please use the following: - Check out `main`, `make clean frontend`, and run e2e tests with `VISUAL_TEST=1` to generate outputs. This will initially fail, as no screenshots exist. You can run the e2e tests again to assert it passes. - - Check out your branch, `make clean frontend`, and run e2e tests with `VISUAL_TEST=1`.
