Browser automation

Two pathways — never mix in the same spool dispatch.

exec:browser runs JS against page. Globals available: page, snapshot, screenshotWithAccessibilityLabels, state. 15s live window, then backgrounds; output drains automatically on every subsequent plugkit call.

browser: prefix is playwriter session management. One command per block.

Core

Write to .gm/exec-spool/in/browser/<N>.txt:

await page.goto('https://example.com')
await snapshot({ page })

browser:
playwriter session new --direct

browser:
playwriter -s 1 -e 'await page.goto("http://example.com")'

Session state persists across browser: calls. -e arg uses single quotes outside, double inside JS strings.

Timing

Never await setTimeout(N) with N > 10000. Poll instead.

Write to .gm/exec-spool/in/browser/<N>.txt:

const start = Date.now()
while (!state.done && Date.now() - start < 12000) {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 500))
}
console.log(state.result)

Assertion failed: UV_HANDLE_CLOSING is normal background-on-exit noise; ignore it.

Patterns

Data extraction — write to .gm/exec-spool/in/browser/<N>.txt:

const items = await page.$$eval('.title', els => els.map(e => e.textContent))
console.log(JSON.stringify(items))

Console monitoring — set listeners first, then poll. Write to .gm/exec-spool/in/browser/<N>.txt:

state.logs = []
page.on('console', msg => state.logs.push({ type: msg.type(), text: msg.text() }))

Then write to .gm/exec-spool/in/browser/<N+1>.txt:

console.log(JSON.stringify(state.logs.slice(-20)))

Constraints

• One playwriter command per browser: block
• exec:browser body is plain JS, no shell quoting
• Browser tasks drain automatically on every plugkit interaction
• Sessions reap after 5–15 min idle; cleaned up on session end
• Never write standalone .mjs/.js Playwright scripts as a fallback — exec:browser errors must be debugged through exec:browser retries, not by creating test files on disk
