Demonstrates how to run an HTTP server inside an actor using the container web server feature.

The actor starts an Express.js app on the port provided by ACTOR_WEB_SERVER_PORT. A simple web form lets you submit URLs; the actor screenshots each one with Puppeteer and stores the images in the default Key-Value Store, showing thumbnails in the UI.

Use this as a template for actors that need to accept external input or display progress while running.
