Install or uninstall the capture extension in Firefox or Chrome without a window, without a click and without administrator rights — the runnable file shapes and commands, not a store link for someone to press. Call this when a capture route needs the extension present, when a run is finished and it should be gone again, or when asked whether an agent can set up a browser extension by itself. Firefox installs and removes in well under a second over its own control channel; Chrome fetches the signed store build itself. Also returns what the extension lets you do that this endpoint cannot, and the conditions under which installing on a machine is yours to decide.
