+### Scaffold safety and edge cases
+
+The trusted runner discovers the most likely form, fillable fields, submit
+control, and form container on the unauthenticated page. It writes only
+discovered selectors and generated placeholders to the private `0600` config.
+The agent treats that config as opaque and user-owned. Scaffold status exposes
+only the file path, profile id, counts, and action, never inspected DOM text,
+input values, URLs, or selectors.
+
+Scaffolding rejects pages without a discoverable fillable field or submit
+control, form-less pages without an explicit success condition, remote HTTP
+login pages, cross-origin base URLs, malformed success options, symlinked or
+permissive auth paths, and invalid or non-empty existing configuration. Report
+these blockers; do not bypass them. No generated profile is usable until the
+user replaces its secret placeholders.
+
+## Detailed scenario-design guidance
+
+Use the bundled declarative runner throughout. This workflow does not require
+a separate browser CLI or executable Playwright scripts.
+
+### Build the proof before the steps
+
+Write down three things first:
+
+1. **Setup:** the page and state needed to expose the behavior.
+2. **Action:** the smallest user interaction that exercises it.
+3. **Oracle:** the observable state that proves success or reproduces failure.
+
+Good oracles are product-visible and specific: an exact URL, a stable status
+message, a field value, item count, enabled/disabled state, or checked state.
+Avoid treating “the click did not throw” or “the screenshot looks plausible” as
+proof.
+
+When verifying a fix, prefer a focused regression flow over a broad tour of the
+application. If multiple independent states matter, assert each one explicitly.
+
+For explicit exploratory/manual QA, keep exploration bounded rather than turning
+it into an open-ended crawl. Run at most three minimal rounds. Each round should
+start from one concrete hypothesis, produce a deterministic observation plus a
+meaningful screenshot, and use that evidence to decide whether another round is
+justified. Verification tasks remain one browser run per profile.
+
+### Choose resilient locators
+
+Prefer locators that match how users and accessibility APIs identify controls:
+
+1. `testId` when the product exposes a stable test contract.
+2. `role` with accessible `name` for buttons, links, headings, dialogs, and
+   similar semantic elements.
+3. `label` for form controls.
+4. `placeholder` or visible `text` when they are stable product copy.
+5. `css` only when no semantic contract exists.
+
+Use `exact: true` when duplicate or substring matches are possible. Avoid CSS
+that encodes DOM depth, generated classes, styling details, or element order.
+If a locator is ambiguous, inspect nearby source or rendered copy and choose a
+more specific product contract rather than adding arbitrary delays.
+
+### Wait for state, not time
+
+Runner interactions inherit Playwright auto-waiting. Usually an action followed
+by an assertion is enough. Use `waitFor` only when the next operation depends on
+a distinct attached/detached/visible/hidden transition.
+
+After navigation and visible interactions, the runner also waits for DOM
+readiness, tracks requests causally started by that action through a bounded
+readiness window, waits for common visible
+`aria-busy`/progress/loading/spinner/skeleton markers, and keeps a 500 ms stable
+interval. EventSource/WebSocket traffic is ignored, and a long poll is not
+allowed to pin the entire flow timeout. A visible busy indicator may still hold
+readiness until `timeoutMs`. This is a safe baseline, not an application-specific
+oracle: explicitly wait for a custom loader to become hidden and assert the
+loaded content when the application uses different readiness semantics.
+
+`waitForTimeout` is bounded to five seconds and should be exceptional—for a
+known animation, debounce, or externally scheduled transition with no
+observable intermediate state. Sleeping longer hides races instead of proving
+behavior. If a normal operation legitimately needs more time, adjust the flow's
+`timeoutMs` rather than inserting repeated sleeps.
+
+All assertion actions retry until that timeout. This makes an action followed
+directly by `assertText`, `assertVisible`, `assertURL`, or another assertion
+safe for asynchronously rendered outcomes. `assertText` requires the locator to
+be visible and matches rendered `innerText`; use `assertTextContent` only when
+hidden/raw DOM text is deliberately part of the oracle. Use `assertAttribute` for
+observable state such as `aria-expanded`, `aria-invalid`, or `data-state`
+instead of reading DOM state through executable JavaScript.
+
+### Responsive and scrolling scenarios
+
+Set the flow's top-level `viewport` whenever the bug depends on a breakpoint or
+available height. Assert `viewportWidth` or `viewportHeight` with
+`assertDOMMetric` when the dimensions themselves are part of the proof; the
+runner also includes the applied viewport in its result.
+
+Use `wheel` to reproduce real pointer-wheel input. Add a locator when the wheel
+must target a nested scrolling container—the runner hovers it before sending
+the input. Because browser scrolling may be scheduled after the wheel event,
+wait only for a short known settling interval when a direct metric assertion is
+otherwise racy.
+
+Use safe `evaluate` `scrollTo`/`scrollBy` operations for deterministic setup or
+to distinguish input handling from layout behavior. Use the `metrics` operation
+to retain a named page/element snapshot in result `observations`, and use
+`assertDOMMetric` for pass/fail. Raw JavaScript expressions are intentionally
+excluded: flows remain declarative and cannot inspect authentication storage or
+execute arbitrary same-origin requests.
+
+### Deterministic browser environment
+
+Set top-level `environment` when locale, timezone, color scheme, or motion
+preferences can change the behavior. The runner otherwise uses stable defaults
+(`en-US`, `UTC`, `light`, `reduce`) instead of inheriting host settings. Prefer
+asserting product-visible copy or state derived from those settings; do not use
+screenshot pixels as the only oracle.
+
+### Causal network and dialog expectations
+
+Put `expectResponse` or `expectDialog` on the interaction that causes the event.
+The runner arms both listeners before the interaction, avoiding the race in a
+separate “click, then wait” sequence. Response expectations deliberately match
+only an exact allowlisted-origin pathname, HTTP method, and status. This proves
+that a matching request started and received a response within the action
+window without retaining its URL query, headers, or body.
+
+Dialog expectations match a fixed dialog type and exact/included message, then
+accept or dismiss it declaratively. A mismatch is dismissed before the step
+fails so the page cannot freeze. Actual event metadata is never included in
+failure diagnostics. Do not place secrets in expected messages or response
+paths even though the runner keeps diagnostics generic.
+
+### Drag, upload, and download scenarios
+
+Use `dragTo` for native DOM drag/drop and assert the resulting product state.
+Optional source/drop positions are relative bounded coordinates. Canvas-only,
+OS-native, or custom synthetic-event drag protocols remain unsupported; do not
+work around that with executable JavaScript.
+
+Uploads are memory-only base64 payloads declared in the flow. This intentionally
+prevents a flow from selecting arbitrary project files, credential config, or
+directories. Keep fixtures minimal and non-secret. An empty file list clears a
+file input.
+
+Use the atomic `download` action rather than clicking a download link directly.
+Always match the suggested filename and choose a tight `maxBytes`. Retain a
+download only when its contents are needed as evidence; otherwise the runner
+deletes it after validation. Retained downloads use generated private names,
+not server-provided paths, and are scanned for configured authentication before
+publication. `maxBytes` bounds the runner's private evidence copy and triggers
+cancellation while it grows, but it is not a network-bandwidth guarantee: the
+browser can receive temporary bytes before cancellation.
+
+### Same-origin frames and popups
+
+Use a scoped `target` for iframe or named popup interactions. The runner checks
+the live frame origin before every scoped step and checks a popup after it loads;
+both must remain in `allowedOrigins`. This supports embedded application UI and
+same-origin auxiliary windows without opening a route around the network guard.
+Cross-origin login, payment, and third-party widgets remain intentionally out of
+scope. Each popup adds a separate private video artifact, so open only the
+windows needed for the proof.
+
+### Authentication transitions
+
+Add `authRejectedIf` directly after initial navigation and after transitions
+that can redirect to login or display an expired-session marker. This converts
+stale credentials into an explicit update request instead of misreporting a
+product regression.
+
+Do not encode credentials, tokens, storage values, or login form secrets in the
+flow. The trusted runner applies the selected profile internally. For form auth,
+video starts on the login page and includes field filling and submission; password
+inputs remain masked, but visible identifiers can appear, so treat the video as
+sensitive private evidence. Tracing starts only after login succeeds and is
+sanitized before retention.
+
+### Evidence strategy
+
+The runner always attempts a final or failure screenshot, records video from the
+first page, and creates a sanitized post-auth trace. Add named `screenshot`
+steps only at states that materially help explain the result—for example before
+and after a destructive interaction, or when a transient success message is
+the oracle.
+
+Use evidence by purpose:
+
+- **Screenshot:** quick review of one meaningful visual state.
+- **Video:** chronological confirmation of the complete user flow.
+- **Trace:** action/DOM timing diagnosis for a failed or flaky interaction.
+
+Videos automatically show a transient cursor and yellow pulse for clicks and
+double-clicks. After a native `dragTo` gesture completes, its resolved
+source-to-target route is replayed over 450 ms with a large orange cursor and
+progressively drawn high-contrast trail, followed by a green drop marker. These
+annotations are
+runner-owned, pointer-transparent, and accessibility-hidden; they cover the main
+page, same-origin frames, declared popups, and form-auth submission. Their
+bounded animations finish within the normal post-action stable interval, so
+they explain the chronology without becoming screenshot or assertion oracles.
+
+Assertions determine pass/fail; evidence explains it. Preserve and link every
+artifact group returned on both passed and failed runs.
+
+For visual QA, do not stop at artifact generation. Open at least one meaningful
+PNG with the model's image-capable `read` path and inspect layout, clipping,
+overlap, state styling, and other visual defects relevant to the scenario. If
+the active model cannot read images, explicitly report visual inspection as
+unavailable rather than treating deterministic assertions as a visual pass.
+
+### Diagnose failures without weakening the test
+
+Classify the first failing step:
+
+- wrong target/setup or service unavailable;
+- authentication rejected or expired;
+- locator no longer matches the product contract;
+- expected state never appeared;
+- actual product behavior contradicts the expectation.
+
+Fix the flow only when its setup or locator is wrong. Do not replace a precise
+assertion with a vague one, increase timeouts reflexively, or remove the failing
+step to manufacture a pass. Keep the failure artifacts and state the expected
+versus observed behavior.
+
+### Cleanup and isolation
+
+Each runner invocation owns one isolated context and evidence directory and
+closes its browser resources in a `finally` path. Do not create parallel shared
+or default sessions outside the runner. Test multiple auth profiles with
+separate invocations so cookies, storage, traces, and evidence cannot mix.
+
+Keep the declarative flow and every generated screenshot, video, trace, and
+result manifest inside `$PI_SUBAGENT_AGENT_DIR/browser-qa/`. The launcher owns
+that path and the runner validates it before opening a browser. Do not override
+the environment path or copy evidence into shared `.pi/qa-runs`/`.pi/qa-flows`
+directories: the agent-local workspace is intentionally removed by the normal
+sub-agent shutdown and cleanup lifecycle. Authentication config remains a
+separate persistent input under project `.pi/`.
