 ## Shared browser contract and native WebKit limits (PROP-0040)
 
 `browser/contracts.ts` owns the backend-neutral names and input schemas for `browser_*` tools;
 providers adapt those definitions rather than inventing host-specific selectors. The isolated Harness
 backend supports accessibility snapshots and snapshot-scoped refs. A native WebKit host backend
-currently supports navigation, tab management, visible-text reads and page-level scrolling without a
-ref. It does not support accessibility snapshots, snapshot refs or ref-based click/type/select/scroll,
-browser screenshots, browser waits or keyboard presses.

 For an unsupported operation the native provider returns an explicit `browser_unsupported` refusal
 with “Nothing was done”; it never treats a snapshot ref as a selector and never silently switches to
