+- All browser actions go through `playwright-cli <command>` in the PowerShell tool, not through any MCP tool call
+
+**Step 0 — Playwright CLI Readiness Check (BLOCKING — must pass before any browser action)**:
+
+0a. Check if `playwright-cli` is installed:
+```powershell
+$playwright = Get-Command playwright-cli -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+if ($playwright) { playwright-cli --version } else { "NOT_INSTALLED" }
+```
+If output is `NOT_INSTALLED`, install it:

+Then verify installation succeeded:
+```powershell
+playwright-cli --version
+```
+If installation fails, log the error in context-snapshot.md under `## Browser Verification: SKIPPED — playwright-cli installation failed` and proceed to the next phase. Do NOT attempt browser verification without playwright-cli.
+
+0b. Learn playwright-cli usage (run once per session to understand available commands):
+```powershell
+playwright-cli --help
+```
+Use this output to determine the correct commands for your verification steps. Do NOT guess command syntax — refer to the help output.
+
+0c. Check if playwright-cli skill is installed for the current AI platform:

+$skillDir = $null
+if (Get-Command claude -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) {
+  $currentPlatform = "claude"

+
+0d. Read the installed playwright-cli skill for workflow guidance:
+After skill installation, read the skill's SKILL.md to understand recommended workflows and patterns. Use these patterns to construct your verification flow — do NOT invent your own patterns if the skill provides them.
+
+**Step 1 — Start Dev Server**:
+
+You know this project's tech stack. Detect and start the dev server yourself:
+
+1. Identify the dev server start command from project config (`package.json` scripts, `Makefile`, `docker-compose.yml`, etc.)
+2. **Detect the dev server port** — use the pre-detected port from pipeline if available, otherwise extract from project config. Do NOT hardcode or guess the port:
+   ```powershell
+   $DEV_PORT = "{{DEV_PORT}}"
+   if ($DEV_PORT -eq "{{DEV_PORT}}" -or [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($DEV_PORT)) {
+     $detectedPort = ""

+     if ($detectedPort) { $DEV_PORT = $detectedPort } else { $DEV_PORT = "3000" }
+   }
+   "Detected DEV_PORT=$DEV_PORT"
+   ```
+3. Verify the port is available and start the dev server in the background, capturing its process id:
+   ```powershell
+   $portBusy = Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort ([int]$DEV_PORT) -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+   if ($portBusy) { "PORT_IN_USE" } else { "PORT_FREE" }

+   $server = Start-Process -FilePath "powershell" -ArgumentList @("-NoProfile", "-Command", $devServerCommand) -PassThru
+   $DEV_SERVER_PID = $server.Id
+   ```
+
+   Wait for server to be ready: poll `http://localhost:$DEV_PORT` until it returns 200 or 302 (max 30 seconds, 2s interval):
    ```powershell
-   npm install -g @playwright/cli@latest
-   playwright-cli --version

+     }
+   }
+   if (-not $ready) { "DEV_SERVER_NOT_READY" }

-4. If no browser tool is usable after these steps, append `## Browser Verification: SKIPPED — no usable browser tool` to `context-snapshot.md`, then continue to reporting/checkpoint.
+4. Open the app in playwright-cli: `playwright-cli open "http://localhost:$DEV_PORT"`
+5. If the page requires authentication, use playwright-cli to register a test user and log in first
+
+**Step 2 — Verification**:
+
+Use `playwright-cli snapshot` on the running app to discover actual element refs, then verify these goals:
+{{BROWSER_VERIFY_STEPS}}
+
+Construct your verification workflow based on:
+1. The playwright-cli skill documentation (read in Step 0d)
+2. The `playwright-cli --help` output (captured in Step 0b)
+3. The current task's Verification Gates and implemented features
+
+Decide the concrete playwright-cli actions (click, fill, snapshot, screenshot, etc.) yourself based on the snapshot output and your knowledge of the implemented code. The goals above describe WHAT to verify — you determine HOW using playwright-cli commands.
+
+Take a final screenshot for evidence: `playwright-cli screenshot`
+
+**Step 3 — Cleanup (REQUIRED — you started it, you stop it)**:
+
+1. Close the playwright-cli browser: `playwright-cli close`
+2. Stop the dev server process and any remaining process bound to the dev server port:
+   ```powershell
+   if ($DEV_SERVER_PID) { Stop-Process -Id $DEV_SERVER_PID -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
+   Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort ([int]$DEV_PORT) -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
+     Select-Object -ExpandProperty OwningProcess -Unique |
+     ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_ -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
+   ```

+
+**Using: opencli** (reuses Chrome logged-in sessions)
+
+**CRITICAL CONSTRAINT — opencli browser ONLY**:
+- You MUST use `opencli browser` for ALL browser interactions in this phase
+- All browser actions go through `opencli browser <command>` in the PowerShell tool
 
-Use `opencli` instead of `playwright-cli` only when the scenario requires an existing Chrome login/session or third-party integration cookies.
+**Step 0 — OpenCLI Readiness Check (BLOCKING)**:
 
-Record your choice:
+0a. Check if `opencli` is installed:
 ```powershell
-$BROWSER_TOOL = "playwright-cli"   # or "opencli" or "skipped"
-"Selected browser tool: $BROWSER_TOOL"
+$opencli = Get-Command opencli -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
+if ($opencli) { opencli --version } else { "NOT_INSTALLED" }
 ```
+If `NOT_INSTALLED`: `npm install -g @jackwener/opencli@latest`. If installation fails, log `## Browser Verification: SKIPPED — opencli installation failed` and proceed.
+
+0b. Verify Browser Bridge: `opencli doctor`. If fails, log skip and proceed.
 
-If `$BROWSER_TOOL -eq "skipped"`, do NOT start a dev server and do NOT run browser commands. Go directly to result reporting and the checkpoint update.
+0c. Learn usage:
+```powershell

+Use `opencli browser state` to discover elements with `[N]` indices, then verify:
 {{BROWSER_VERIFY_STEPS}}
 
-Use the selected browser tool to inspect current page state, perform actions, and take a final screenshot:

-- `opencli browser open http://localhost:$DEV_PORT`, `opencli browser state`, `opencli browser screenshot`, `opencli browser close`
+Chain commands in PowerShell with semicolons and inspect each result, for example: `opencli browser click <N>; opencli browser wait time 1; opencli browser state`

 ```
 
-**Dev server setup**:
+**Step 1 — Start Dev Server**: use the same port detection and server lifecycle pattern as the playwright-cli path:
 ```powershell
 $DEV_PORT = "{{DEV_PORT}}"
-if ($DEV_PORT -eq "{{DEV_PORT}}") {
-  $detected = node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); const s = p.scripts ? p.scripts.dev : ''; const m=s.match(/-p\s+(\d+)/); console.log(m?m[1]:'')"
-  if ($detected) { $DEV_PORT = $detected } else { $DEV_PORT = "3000" }
+if ($DEV_PORT -eq "{{DEV_PORT}}" -or [string]::IsNullOrWhiteSpace($DEV_PORT)) {
+  $detectedPort = ""
+  if (Test-Path -LiteralPath "package.json") {
+    $detectedPort = node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); const s=(p.scripts?.dev) || ''; const m=s.match(/-p\s+(\d+)/); console.log(m?m[1]:'')"
+  }
+  if (-not $detectedPort -and $env:NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL -match ':([0-9]+)') {
+    $detectedPort = $Matches[1]
+  }
+  if ($detectedPort) { $DEV_PORT = $detectedPort } else { $DEV_PORT = "3000" }
 }
 "Detected DEV_PORT=$DEV_PORT"
+```
+```powershell
 $portBusy = Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort ([int]$DEV_PORT) -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
 if ($portBusy) { "PORT_IN_USE" } else { "PORT_FREE" }
-$server = Start-Process -FilePath "powershell" -ArgumentList @("-NoProfile", "-Command", "<start-command>") -PassThru
+$devServerCommand = "<start-command>"
+$server = Start-Process -FilePath "powershell" -ArgumentList @("-NoProfile", "-Command", $devServerCommand) -PassThru
 $DEV_SERVER_PID = $server.Id
 ```
 
-Wait for readiness:
+Wait for server to be ready: poll `http://localhost:$DEV_PORT` until it returns 200 or 302 (max 30 seconds, 2s interval):
 ```powershell
 $ready = $false
 for ($i = 0; $i -lt 15; $i++) {
   try {
     $response = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://localhost:$DEV_PORT" -UseBasicParsing -TimeoutSec 2
     if ($response.StatusCode -in @(200, 302)) { $ready = $true; break }
-  } catch { Start-Sleep -Seconds 2 }
+  } catch {
+    Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
+  }
 }
 if (-not $ready) { "DEV_SERVER_NOT_READY" }
 ```
 
-**Verification goals**:
+Start server, wait for ready, then:
+```powershell
+opencli browser open "http://localhost:$DEV_PORT"
+if ($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0) { opencli browser state }
+```
+
+**Step 2 — Verification**:
+
+Use `opencli browser state` to discover elements with `[N]` indices, then verify:
 {{BROWSER_VERIFY_STEPS}}
 
-Use `opencli browser open http://localhost:$DEV_PORT`, `opencli browser state`, indexed interaction commands from `opencli browser --help`, and `opencli browser screenshot`.
+Chain commands in PowerShell with semicolons and inspect each result, for example: `opencli browser click <N>; opencli browser wait time 1; opencli browser state`
 
-**Cleanup**:
-```powershell
-opencli browser close
-if ($DEV_SERVER_PID) { Stop-Process -Id $DEV_SERVER_PID -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
-Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort ([int]$DEV_PORT) -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
-  Select-Object -ExpandProperty OwningProcess -Unique |
-  ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_ -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
+**Step 3 — Cleanup**:
+1. `opencli browser close`
+2. Stop the dev server process and any remaining process bound to the dev server port:
+   ```powershell
+   if ($DEV_SERVER_PID) { Stop-Process -Id $DEV_SERVER_PID -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
+   Get-NetTCPConnection -LocalPort ([int]$DEV_PORT) -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
+     Select-Object -ExpandProperty OwningProcess -Unique |
+     ForEach-Object { Stop-Process -Id $_ -Force -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue }
+   ```
+
+**Step 4 — Reporting**:
+
+Append results to `context-snapshot.md`:
+```
+## Browser Verification
+Tool: <playwright-cli or opencli>
+URL: http://localhost:$DEV_PORT
+Dev Server Command: <actual command used>
+Tool version: <version>
+Steps executed: [list of commands used]
+Screenshot: [path]
+Result: PASS / FAIL (reason)
+Server cleanup: confirmed
+Browser cleanup: confirmed
 ```
 
-Append results to `context-snapshot.md` with URL, command used, opencli version, steps executed, screenshot path, PASS/FAIL reason, and cleanup status.
+If verification fails, log the failure details but continue to commit. Failures do NOT block the commit, but you MUST attempt verification and MUST clean up the dev server.
 
-**Checkpoint update**:
+**Checkpoint update**: Run the update script to set step `browser-verification` to `"completed"`:
 ```powershell
-Invoke-PrizmPython {{PIPELINE_DIR}}\scripts\update-checkpoint.py --checkpoint-path {{CHECKPOINT_PATH}} --step browser-verification --status completed
+Invoke-PrizmPython {{PIPELINE_DIR}}\scripts\update-checkpoint.py `
+  --checkpoint-path {{CHECKPOINT_PATH}} `
+  --step browser-verification `
+  --status completed
 ```
