Context Reporter adds object-aware problem reports to the TYPO3 backend.
Editors report a problem where it happens, and the report automatically
carries the TYPO3 context: page, record, content type, file or folder, site,
language, workspace, backend module, system and browser. An optional
screenshot is annotated and redacted in the editor's browser.

The screenshot shows what the user sees. The TYPO3 context tells the
developer what the problem actually belongs to.

Reports are downloaded, emailed or sent to a webhook, so they end up in the
tools a team already uses. Context Reporter is not a ticket system. It
supports TYPO3 13.4 LTS and TYPO3 14.3.
