with sync_playwright() as playwright:
    run(playwright)

Automatically create and fill in a timecard for companies that use Unanet timekeeping. Leverages playwright due to javascript loading inline elements of the page. Targets the first timecard row and fills in the target hours. Unanet doesn't really see to care if we logout but we do anyway.

Will 100% break if you get a forced password change or change the charge code.
