+ Use `input.perform` when the next authorized steps are known. Form filling, opening a menu and choosing a known item, or navigating and checking an expected result do not need a model round-trip per action.

At most 16384 UTF-8 JSON bytes are retained. Larger results are omitted with `truncated: true` and `maxBytes`; inspect with a narrower read, never replay the actions just to recover evidence. If the final step fails, no earlier result is substituted.
285
+
286
+ For an action as the final step, set its `observe: true` to receive effects without a separate read. Observation remains opt-in for every sequence step, preserving timed schedules. For asynchronous outcomes, include a specific wait before reading. Completed steps alone do not prove application success.

Inspect postconditions; never repeat the action through DOM fallback.
