 3. **Map** pixel coordinates to character grid positions (spatial layout preserved)
 4. **Annotate** interactive elements with `[ref]` numbers for agent interaction
 
+## Selector Strategy
+
+TextWeb builds stable CSS selectors for each interactive element, preferring resilient strategies over brittle positional ones:
+
+| Priority | Strategy | Example |
+|----------|----------|---------|
+| 1 | `#id` | `#email` |
+| 2 | `[data-testid]` | `[data-testid="submit-btn"]` |
+| 3 | `[aria-label]` | `input[aria-label="Search"]` |
+| 4 | `[role]` (if unique) | `[role="navigation"]` |
+| 5 | `[name]` | `input[name="email"]` |
+| 6 | `a[href]` (if unique) | `a[href="/about"]` |
+| 7 | `nth-child` (fallback) | `div > a:nth-child(3)` |
+
+This means selectors survive DOM changes between snapshots — critical for multi-step agent workflows.
+
+## ATS Workflow Examples (Greenhouse / Lever)
+
+For multi-step ATS flows, use a stable `session_id` and combine wait/assert guards:
+
+```javascript
+// Keep one session for the whole application
+await textweb_navigate({ url: 'https://job-boards.greenhouse.io/acme/jobs/123', session_id: 'apply-acme' });
+
+// Fill + continue
+await textweb_type({ ref: 12, text: 'Christopher', session_id: 'apply-acme' });
+await textweb_type({ ref: 15, text: 'Robison', session_id: 'apply-acme' });
+await textweb_click({ ref: 42, session_id: 'apply-acme', retries: 3, retry_delay_ms: 400 });
+
+// Guard transition
+await textweb_wait_for({ selector: '#step-2.active', timeout_ms: 8000, session_id: 'apply-acme', retries: 2 });
+
+// Validate before submit
+await textweb_assert_field({ ref: 77, expected: 'San Francisco', comparator: 'includes', session_id: 'apply-acme' });
+
+// Persist auth/session for follow-up flow
+await textweb_storage_save({ path: '/tmp/ats-state.json', session_id: 'apply-acme' });
+```
+
+Useful session tools:
+- `textweb_session_list` → inspect active sessions
+- `textweb_session_close` → close one session or all
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests (form + live + ATS e2e)
+npm test
+
+# Form fixture tests
+npm run test:form
+
+# Live site tests — example.com, HN, Wikipedia
+npm run test:live
+
+# ATS multi-step fixture test
+npm run test:ats
+```
+
+Test fixtures are in `test/fixtures/` — includes a comprehensive HTML form and an ATS-style multi-step application fixture.
