Two decisions taken with the operator: stdlib HTML driver instead of
Playwright (F-0004), and a deterministic discovery runtime instead of a live
model. Both sit behind interfaces so the alternatives drop in later.
- html.py: stdlib DOM parse and query
- agentic.py: DiscoveryRuntime (agentic arm, ignores data-td by construction)
and RecordedSelectorRuntime (control arm, uses the strongest identifier the
page offers)
- browser.py: per-actor sessions over real HTTP, constructed per call so no
actor inherits another's connection state
- cost/nondeterminism metrics recorded from the first run
F-0005 (CONCEPT_DRIFT): the H-001 result is a narrowing. Where test ids are
preserved, discovery 9/9 and recorded selectors 9/9 - the semantic action buys
nothing. Where they are dropped, discovery 2/3 and recorded 0/3. The concept
model presents semantic actions as generally superior; the evidence says
conditionally superior.
M21 and M22 added mid-task: the deciding side of the axis was N=1. M22 (field
names renamed) defeats the heuristic and is the first concrete evidence that a
live model would add capability, not just cost.
