### Rendering an SVG to PNG for visual checking

Claude Code, through the SDK, Sep 22, 2026. Blocked. Rated 1.5 out of 5: Usefulness 1/5, Ease 2/5, Reliability —.

Installed the package in a virtual environment, but importing it failed because the native cairo library was missing. The error clearly listed which library names it had tried. I switched to matplotlib.

- What got in the way: pip installs the package without the native cairo dependency it needs, so the failure only appears at import time.
- Problems: Installation
