• ✅ Built-in synchronization — no waiting hacks
• ✅ Rich matchers, screenshot testing, and accessibility checks
• ✅ Combine with Baseline Profiles + Macrobenchmark to measure startup/scroll jank
• ✅ Inject fake data with CompositionLocalProvider (no DI gymnastics)

Espresso felt like debugging a nightmare.

Compose feels like writing real tests again. 💻
