From b21396af11d141ad9e13d786438e5716a4cf4e67 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: david catalan Date: Sat, 30 May 2026 12:25:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/25] feat(web): add web plugin with browser automation and page analysis skills MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Introduces a new top-level plugins/web plugin containing 9 skills for interacting with arbitrary webpages — browser layer detection, Chrome CDP control, CDN bot probing, overlay dismissal, spatial DOM capture, page skeleton reduction, and structured resource extraction. Skills included: - browser-universal: dispatch layer detecting playwright-cli / MCP / cmux / CDP - cdp-connect: zero-dep Chrome CDP control via Node 22 built-in WebSocket - cdp-ext-pilot: launch Chrome with unpacked extensions, test via CDP - browser-probe: escalation ladder to detect CDN bot protection, emit recipe - page-prep: dismiss cookie/GDPR/modal overlays via CMP DB + heuristics - visual-tree: capture spatial DOM hierarchy as structured tree + nodeMap - reduce-page: two-phase page-to-skeleton tokenizer (inject + LLM reasoning) - page-collect: extract icons, metadata, text, forms, videos, social links - domain-mask: HTTPS reverse proxy for masking URLs during demos All skills: license Apache-2.0, pass skills-ref validate, score ≥90% on tessl skill review, tessl lint shows tile as valid. Full release plumbing included (tile.json, per-skill package.json + .releaserc.json + evals). Deferred: migrate-header and brand-setup (heavy AEM/EDS coupling) will follow in a separate PR targeting plugins/aem/edge-delivery-services.

Write temp scripts to `.playwright-cli/` and clean up after. + +**When to use `run-code` vs `eval`:** +- `eval` — quick expressions: `document.title`, `el.getBoundingClientRect()` +- `run-code` — multi-statement extraction, large DOM reads, anything > 1 line +- `run-code --filename=` — complex code with special characters, or scripts > 3 lines + +## eval only accepts pure expressions + +`playwright-cli eval "EXPR"` wraps the argument as `page.evaluate(() => (EXPR))`. This means: + +- **Works:** pure expressions — `42`, `document.title`, `JSON.stringify(obj)`, comma expressions `(x = 1, x + 2)` +- **Fails:** statements — `var x = 1; x`, `return 42`, `if (x) { ... }`, block bodies `{ ... }` +- **Fails:** IIFEs with statements — `(() => { var x = 1; return x; })()` errors with "result is not a function" + +If you need to run multi-statement code, use one of: +1. **`initScript`** — inject a script file before navigation via config: `{"browser":{"initScript":["path/to/script.js"]}}`. **CRITICAL:** initScript runs in Playwright's isolated execution context, NOT the main world. `var` at top level does NOT propagate to `window`. You MUST use explicit `window.myGlobal = ...` to make globals visible to subsequent `eval` calls. +2. **Comma expressions** — chain pure expressions: `(window.x = compute(), window.y = transform(window.x), JSON.stringify({x: window.x, y: window.y}))` +3. **Two-step** — store to global in one eval, read in another: `eval "window.result = heavyComputation(), 'ok'"` then `eval "window.result.field"` + +## Injecting large scripts (bundles, libraries) + +Never inline a bundle into eval via `$(cat "file.js")` — it breaks shell quoting and hits the expression-only limitation. + +Never serve from localhost and fetch/inject via `
