Drupal helpers

These are the public helpers the Drupal steps are built on. Your own step definitions call them on $this, the same way the shipped steps do, as Scenario styles explains. A trait's page gives each of its helpers a signature and a description.

HELPERS.md holds these helpers and the web helpers on 1 page. It ships with the package, so an AI coding agent in your project can read it from vendor/.
