+
+Act on the observation the table was read from. An observation is valid only until the page changes: browser_act refuses a target whose page moved and returns the new table instead. That refusal is not a failure of the page — read the returned table and choose again. The tools never retry a mutation by themselves.

Use browser_eval for programmatic work instead. If Chrome shows that prompt anyway, approve that exact popup once and never retry: the retry drops the sheet and raises a new one, which is how one approval turns into an endless prompt.`
