01 / DECISION

When this primitive earns a place

Use Browser Run when rendering or browser behavior is necessary and plain HTTP retrieval cannot prove the result.

02 / ARCHITECTURE

Build the smallest defensible path

Allowlist origin and route, reject arbitrary navigation, cap actions and time, isolate sessions, and store only the minimum screenshot or extraction evidence.

  1. 01Name the contract

    Use Browser Run when rendering or browser behavior is necessary and plain HTTP retrieval cannot prove the result.

  2. 02Add one primitive

    Allowlist origin and route, reject arbitrary navigation, cap actions and time, isolate sessions, and store only the minimum screenshot or extraction evidence.

  3. 03Capture failure evidence

    Prove blocked destinations, timeout, screenshot provenance, and zero state reuse; compare the rendered assertion with a deterministic expectation.

03 / REPRODUCE

Evidence before confidence

Prove blocked destinations, timeout, screenshot provenance, and zero state reuse; compare the rendered assertion with a deterministic expectation.

04 / BOUNDARY

The production boundary

Browser automation can trigger real side effects and encounter private data. Do not log in, purchase, submit, or bypass controls without explicit authorization.

05 / FIRST-PARTY SOURCES

Keep first-party sources authoritative

Product behavior, limits, pricing, and availability can change. Re-check these sources before acting.
