Never issue input as parallel tool calls. Stop at decisions requiring new evidence or user approval, leave `continueOnError` off, and never blindly replay a partially completed flow.
 27. **Use trusted input when the page needs a user gesture** - DOM-mode events are untrusted, so Chrome may refuse audio or media start, popups, clipboard writes, and fullscreen. `executionMode: "auto"` picks debugger input only for file inputs, media, `target=_blank` links, rich-text editors, or when the debugger is already attached (`execution.selectionReason` says why). Use `executionMode: "cdp"` to force it (click, hover, drag, type, fill, press_key, touch); `input.perform` accepts it once for every step. If a DOM click reports `changed: false` on a page that should react, retry once with `cdp` rather than repeating the DOM click. CDP input is not available for targets inside iframes.
 28. **Simultaneous presses need touch** - a mouse has one pointer. For chords or multi-finger gestures use `input.touch` with several `points` (optionally `to` end positions for swipes and pinches); add `holdMs` to `input.click`/`input.press_key` when the press must last.

+  "returnLastResult": true,
+  "steps": [

+
+The final read is returned in `lastResult.result`. Only the final step's result is retained, at most 16384 UTF-8 JSON bytes. If `lastResult.truncated` is true, narrow the read without replaying the actions. For a final action instead of a read, request `observe: true` on that step to receive its effects. Sequence steps do not observe by default. Completed input dispatch alone does not prove application success.

+When the result requires a new decision, return to the agent before continuing. Individual calls remain appropriate for exploratory flows:

Steps run in order inside the extension; it stops at the first failed step (or a `dom.wait_for` that times out) unless `continueOnError: true`, and reports `startedAtMs` for every step. It also accepts `page.get_state`, `page.get_text`, `dom.query`, and `dom.get_text` read steps. `returnLastResult: true` retains only the final successful step's bounded result; a failed final step never substitutes an earlier result.
 - `page.get_network` defaults to low-cost fetch/XHR instrumentation. All-resource CDP capture must be armed before the activity with `source: "cdp", capture: "start"`, read later, and explicitly stopped.
 - `network.export_har` requires that explicit capture to still be armed. Params are `limit` (1-200), sanitized-URL substring `urlPattern`, and `delivery` (`auto`, `inline`, `artifact`). Inline bounds remove whole oldest entries; export never changes capture state. `bbx har` uses the same client to download, length/SHA-256 verify, delete, validate, and atomically write artifacts locally.
 - `page.handle_dialog` mutations are not atomically bound to `expectedDialogId`; treat `commandDispatched` as dispatch evidence and verify follow-up state.

+## Native JavaScript dialogs

+Input and evaluation calls return `DIALOG_BLOCKED` when a native alert, confirm,
+prompt, or beforeunload dialog blocks the operation. Do not retry the action or
+sequence. `input.perform` stops even with `continueOnError: true`.
+
+Inspect with `page.handle_dialog` using `action: "inspect"`, then explicitly
+accept or dismiss using the returned `dialogId` as `expectedDialogId`. Supply
+`promptText` only when accepting a prompt. The interrupted operation may already
+have taken effect and may finish after the dialog closes. Inspect postconditions
+before deciding on the next action. Dialog messages are only returned by explicit
+inspection, not in the blocking error. Dialogs that opened before debugger
+attachment may still be unobservable.

+## Multi-step flows
+
+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. Semantic input targets auto-wait for actionability, so skip separate find and pre-action wait calls. Wait for the expected application outcome when needed.

+`returnLastResult: true` returns `lastResult` with `index`, `method`, `byteLength`, `truncated`, and `result` from the final successful step. It never returns all intermediate results. 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.
+
+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.
+
+Stop the sequence at any decision that requires new evidence or user approval. Keep `continueOnError` off for dependent steps. On failure, inspect progress and postconditions before deciding what to do next; mutations are not rolled back and must not be blindly retried.

 Every tool call costs an agent round-trip, so steps sent one call at a time arrive seconds apart, and steps sent as parallel tool calls all land at once. When timing matters (music, games, animations, gestures, quick reactions), send the whole schedule as one `input.perform`:

Evaluation, sensitive reads, WebMCP execution, and dialog handling are not allowed in sequences.
 - `atMs` is the earliest start measured from the sequence start, so delays never accumulate; `delayMs` waits after the previous step finished. Steps always run in order, so a step whose `atMs` has already passed starts immediately.
 - A top-level `executionMode` applies to every step that supports it unless the step sets its own.
 - Add `dom.wait_for` steps to react to the page without a round-trip, e.g. click, wait for `.menu`, click the item. A wait that times out counts as a failed step.
