90
- | `barebrowse dialog-log` | JS dialog log → `.barebrowse/dialogs-<timestamp>.json` |
91

95
- - `--selector=CSS` — Wait for CSS selector to match
96
- - `--timeout=N` — Max wait time in ms (default: 30000)
97
-
98
- ## Snapshot Format
99
-
100
- The snapshot is a YAML-like ARIA tree. Each line is one node:
101
-
102
- ```
103
- # https://example.com/
104
- # 379 chars → 45 chars (88% pruned)
105
- - heading "Example Domain" [level=1] [ref=3]
106
- ```
107
-
108
- - `[ref=N]` — Use this number with click, type, fill, hover, select, drag, upload
109
- - Refs change on every snapshot — always take a fresh snapshot before interacting
110
- - **act mode** (default): interactive elements + labels — for clicking, typing, navigating
111
- - **read mode**: all text content — for reading articles, extracting data
112
-
113
- ## Workflow Pattern
114
-
115
- 1. `barebrowse open <url>` — start session
116
- 2. `barebrowse snapshot` — observe page (read the .yml file)
117
- 3. Decide action based on snapshot content
118
- 4. `barebrowse click/type/fill/press/scroll/drag/upload <ref>` — act
119
- 5. `barebrowse snapshot` — observe result (refs are now different!)
120
- 6. Repeat 3-5 until goal achieved
121
- 7. `barebrowse close` — clean up
122
-
123
- ## Tips
124
-
125
- - **Always snapshot before interacting** — refs are ephemeral and change every time
126
- - **Use `fill` instead of `type`** when replacing existing text in input fields
127
- - **Use `--mode=read`** for snapshot when you need to extract article content or data
128
- - **Use `back`/`forward`** to navigate browser history instead of re-entering URLs
129
- - **Use `upload`** for file inputs — pass absolute paths to the files
130
- - **Use `wait-for`** when content loads asynchronously — more reliable than `wait-idle`
131
- - **Check `dialog-log`** if JS alerts/confirms were auto-dismissed during your session
132
- - **Use `save-state`** to persist cookies/localStorage for later sessions via `--storage-state`
133
- - **Check `console-logs`** when page behavior seems wrong — JS errors show up there
134
- - **Check `network-log --failed`** to debug missing content or broken API calls
135
- - **Use `eval`** as an escape hatch when ARIA tree doesn't show what you need
136
- - **One session per project** — `.barebrowse/` is project-scoped
137
- - For bot-detected sites, use `--mode=headed` (requires browser with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`)

- ## Snapshot Format
98
-
99
- The snapshot is a YAML-like ARIA tree. Each line is one node:
100
-
101
- ```
102
- # https://example.com/
103
- # 379 chars → 45 chars (88% pruned)
104
- - heading "Example Domain" [level=1] [ref=3]
105
- ```
106
-
107
- - `[ref=N]` — Use this number with click, type, fill, hover, select, drag, upload
108
- - Refs change on every snapshot — always take a fresh snapshot before interacting
109
- - **act mode** (default): interactive elements + labels — for clicking, typing, navigating
110
- - **read mode**: all text content — for reading articles, extracting data
111
-
112
- ## Workflow Pattern
113
-
114
- 1. `barebrowse open <url>` — start session
115
- 2. `barebrowse snapshot` — observe page (read the .yml file)
116
- 3. Decide action based on snapshot content
117
- 4. `barebrowse click/type/fill/press/scroll/drag/upload <ref>` — act
118
- 5. `barebrowse snapshot` — observe result (refs are now different!)
119
- 6. Repeat 3-5 until goal achieved
120
- 7. `barebrowse close` — clean up
121
-
122
- ## Tips
123
-
124
- - **Always snapshot before interacting** — refs are ephemeral and change every time
125
- - **Use `fill` instead of `type`** when replacing existing text in input fields
126
- - **Use `--mode=read`** for snapshot when you need to extract article content or data
127
- - **Use `back`/`forward`** to navigate browser history instead of re-entering URLs
128
- - **Use `upload`** for file inputs — pass absolute paths to the files
129
- - **Use `wait-for`** when content loads asynchronously — more reliable than `wait-idle`
130
- - **Check `dialog-log`** if JS alerts/confirms were auto-dismissed during your session
131
- - **Use `save-state`** to persist cookies/localStorage for later sessions via `--storage-state`
132
- - **Check `console-logs`** when page behavior seems wrong — JS errors show up there
133
- - **Check `network-log --failed`** to debug missing content or broken API calls
134
- - **Use `eval`** as an escape hatch when ARIA tree doesn't show what you need
135
- - **One session per project** — `.barebrowse/` is project-scoped
136
- - For bot-detected sites, use `--mode=headed` (requires browser with `--remote-debugging-port=9222`)
