+ *
+ * Two rules shape this file.
+ *
+ * 1. A number means the same control twice. Playwright MCP and browser-use both
+ *    hand out refs, and both pay for it by making the model re-read after every
+ *    action. Here the page keeps a registry, so a ref survives a read, a
+ *    checkbox and a tool boundary; only a navigation drops it, and a click on a
+ *    dead ref says so instead of clicking something else.
+ *
+ * 2. Text is read from the viewport, not the document. A 60-paragraph article
+ *    is 2.4k tokens if the whole page is printed. The person is looking at a
+ *    screenful, the model is acting on a screenful, and scrolling is a call it
+ *    can make on purpose.
