It resumes where your last `wait` or `call` on that target left off, so an event that lands while you're acting — or before the wait attaches — still fires it immediately; arm order doesn't matter.

Per turn — act via `typebulb call`, arm `wait <file> --match <tag>` in the background, end your turn; on wake, read state with `typebulb call <file> <getState>` (never parse it from the log line) and repeat. **`call` always boots a fresh `server.ts` instance** — it never attaches to the running bulb's server — so any state shared between the page and your calls must live on disk (load/save it in each export), not in `server.ts` module memory. A bulb's uncaught browser errors land in the same log as `[runtime error] …`, so the wake channel also catches your bulb breaking. For embeds, the same subscription is `typebulb wait agent` on the mirror — see [Emitting an embedded bulb](#emitting-an-embedded-bulb).

At most one handler, in one page, may return a value; a slow check needs `--wait=<ms>` above the 5s default.
 - **Slow work settles in the handler** — a handler may be async, and the reply waits for its promise: keep a done-promise, `await` it, and return the finished state, with `--wait=<ms>` sized to the work (instead of polling flags in a sleep loop, or snapshot-polling from outside). The sharp edge: settle the promise on *every* exit of the run — success, failure, supersession, in a `finally` — and start idle with an already-resolved one, or the handler hangs and reads as a broken bulb. One case stays two-step: a `tb:*` gesture that kicks off slow work replies with the immediate frame (runtime-answered), so follow it with this settle probe.
 - **Rendered truth** — `typebulb send <file> tb:snapshot` prints the page's accessibility outline (roles, names, visible text) without disturbing its state. Use it when logs say ok but the screen might not, and as the first probe on a live page in a state you can't reproduce — a save would hot-reload and destroy it. (`tb:` messages are answered by the runtime, never your handlers, and imply `--wait`.) Its first line is the page's geometry — viewport, content size, and a fits-or-overflows verdict — so an unwanted scrollbar shows up in the first read.

Only what the outline names is measurable; give a structural container an `aria-label` to measure it (a one-line edit that also improves the outline).

Only what the outline names is measurable; give a structural container a `role` **and** an `aria-label` (`<div role="group" aria-label="board">`) to measure it — a label alone leaves it invisible.
 - **Acting on the page** — `typebulb send <file> 'tb:click button "Pass"'` clicks the one control matching that role and name (exact, else a unique case-insensitive substring) and replies with a fresh snapshot; `tb:set combobox "strength" = hard` is the same for form controls (checkboxes and radios take `tb:click`). A disabled, readonly, or covered target is an error naming it — that silence is the bug class these verbs catch. Needs exactly one page open, and the reply is the immediate frame (slow work: follow up with `tb:snapshot`). Only what the outline names is targetable: real `<button>`s and labeled controls, not an `onClick` `<div>`.
 - **Poking state** — for state beyond what a form control expresses (`tb:set` covers those), author a set-handler up front: a `tb.onMessage` branch that takes a data payload (JSON arrives parsed), applies it to your state — committing the change if your framework needs an explicit step — and returns the new state: `typebulb send <file> '{"set":"speed","value":2}' --wait` prints it. In React, register it in an effect so it closes over the setters (the returned unsubscribe is the cleanup).
 - **A page must be open** — the CLI runs no browser of its own, so every client-side check waits on a real window (and `--no-open` means there isn't one). `send` says which case it is: nobody has ever connected (share the link), or a page dropped and hasn't returned (it's stale — reload it). Never open a window at the user: the server logs `[page] connected` when a page attaches, so end your turn with the link, arming `typebulb wait <file> --match "[page] connected"` in the background first — the user opening the page is your wake-up.
-- **Reading a canvas** — `typebulb send <file> tb:png` writes the page's canvas to a PNG (a stable per-bulb path under `~/.typebulb/`, overwritten each read) and prints the path — rendered truth for a bulb whose output is drawn, with no probe handler and nothing disturbed. One canvas needs no name; several take `tb:png "<name>"` (an `aria-label` on the canvas names it). A WebGL/WebGPU canvas without `preserveDrawingBuffer` reads back blank outside its own frame — capture during the draw instead.

+- **Measuring layout** — `typebulb send <file> 'tb:rect button "Pass"'` prints that control's viewport-relative rect as JSON (`{x, y, width, height, viewport}`, integers): how big something ended up, whether two things align, whether one is offscreen — arithmetic on rects, no probe handler. Only what the outline names is measurable; give a structural container a `role` **and** an `aria-label` (`<div role="group" aria-label="board">`) to measure it — a label alone leaves it invisible.
 - **Acting on the page** — `typebulb send <file> 'tb:click button "Pass"'` clicks the one control matching that role and name (exact, else a unique case-insensitive substring) and replies with a fresh snapshot; `tb:set combobox "strength" = hard` is the same for form controls (checkboxes and radios take `tb:click`). A disabled, readonly, or covered target is an error naming it — that silence is the bug class these verbs catch. Needs exactly one page open, and the reply is the immediate frame (slow work: follow up with `tb:snapshot`). Only what the outline names is targetable: real `<button>`s and labeled controls, not an `onClick` `<div>`.
 - **Poking state** — for state beyond what a form control expresses (`tb:set` covers those), author a set-handler up front: a `tb.onMessage` branch that takes a data payload (JSON arrives parsed), applies it to your state — committing the change if your framework needs an explicit step — and returns the new state: `typebulb send <file> '{"set":"speed","value":2}' --wait` prints it. In React, register it in an effect so it closes over the setters (the returned unsubscribe is the cleanup).
 - **A page must be open** — the CLI runs no browser of its own, so every client-side check waits on a real window (and `--no-open` means there isn't one). `send` says which case it is: nobody has ever connected (share the link), or a page dropped and hasn't returned (it's stale — reload it). Never open a window at the user: the server logs `[page] connected` when a page attaches, so end your turn with the link, arming `typebulb wait <file> --match "[page] connected"` in the background first — the user opening the page is your wake-up.
-- **Reading a canvas** — `typebulb send <file> tb:png` writes the page's canvas to a PNG (a stable per-bulb path under `~/.typebulb/`, overwritten each read) and prints the path — rendered truth for a bulb whose output is drawn, with no probe handler and nothing disturbed. One canvas needs no name; several take `tb:png "<name>"` (an `aria-label` on the canvas names it). A WebGL/WebGPU canvas without `preserveDrawingBuffer` reads back blank outside its own frame — capture during the draw instead.
