How do I run WordPress Playground on a Mac?

WordPress Playground runs a complete WordPress \u{2014} PHP compiled to WebAssembly plus SQLite \u{2014} entirely in the browser or under Node, with no web server or database to install. Useful for trying a plugin or theme against a throwaway site, reproducing a bug on a known-clean install, or previewing a migration before touching production. The @wp-playground/cli package runs one locally (npx @wp-playground/cli server), and Blueprints (JSON) declare a starting state \u{2014} WordPress version, PHP version, plugins, content \u{2014} so a scenario is reproducible. Complements the WASM Runtimes pane.
