Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 3cc7ddcc5c Add scrollToLoad and an absent variant of waitFor
scrollToLoad walks a progressively-loading list to the bottom before the steps
that act on its items run. Stopping is two-part: no new matches appeared AND the
container was already pinned to the bottom — counting alone stops early on a slow
fetch. Hitting the scroll cap is reported rather than passed off as done, so a
later step never works quietly on a partial list.

The scrolling element is usually not the window. Lists like this live in a div
with its own overflow, and scrolling the document does nothing at all, so the
step walks up from a matched item to the ancestor that actually scrolls —
overflow allows it and there is more content than fits — with containerSelector
to name one outright when the guess is wrong. Verified against a page whose
document also scrolls, which is the case that tells the two apart: it found the
inner div and pulled 12 items up to 60 in 7 scrolls.

waitFor gains `absent`, for waiting on something to go rather than arrive — a
modal closing after a reset. It only accepts a genuine "selector matched
nothing"; an unreachable extension looks the same from a distance and would
otherwise satisfy the gate for the wrong reason, sending the next iteration into
a page that still has the modal open.

The locate queue carries a free-form options blob now, so a new kind of request
stops meaning a new column each time.

Also fixes a missing comma in the reset flow that broke the build.

Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 3ac9fe060f Raise the browser the extension reported, and add a diagnostics script
focus.py raised the first browser in its list that happened to be running. On a
machine with both Chrome and Edge installed that is a coin flip, and losing it is
silent: coordinates measured from a tab in one browser, the click delivered into
a window of the other. It presents as selectors failing for no reason. A VPS with
both installed hit exactly this.

The extension now reports which browser is hosting it, and that travels with the
measurement, so the clicker raises the browser the coordinates actually came
from. Asking for a browser that is not running now fails honestly instead of
quietly raising a different one, and the verification step rejects the wrong
browser coming forward. Chromium, Opera and Vivaldi are recognised alongside
Chrome, Edge and Brave, on both platforms.

diagnose.py answers the question a remote desktop makes hard: whether the mouse
is really moving or the viewer simply is not drawing it. It moves the cursor and
reads the position back from the OS, so the answer does not depend on anything
being rendered, and it reports DPI mode, screen size, whether this is an RDP
session, and whether the browser can be raised at all. Nothing is clicked.

Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 65a1103cda Derive capture scope from host_permissions, drop the target URL setting
The popup's target URL pattern was doing two jobs. As a fallback for locate
requests it is now dead — every step carries its firm's pattern. As the thing
deciding which tab gets scraped it was still load-bearing: without it, capture
falls back to whichever tab is active, which means scraping a banking or mail
tab and storing it in the dashboard's database.

So the setting goes, but the scoping moves to the manifest rather than
disappearing. host_permissions already lists exactly the hosts this extension is
allowed to read; capture now queries those (minus localhost, which is the
dashboard mirroring its own output back). The two cannot drift apart, and adding
a firm — which means adding its host to the manifest anyway — scopes capture
without a second place to remember.

With more than one firm open, capture prefers the active tab over the first
match, so it follows attention rather than tab order. That case could not arise
while a single pattern matched one site.

Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 22db6eae8d Add repeat blocks, per-run inputs, skipIfNotFound, and orphaned-run recovery
Repeat. A `repeat` block runs its steps several times, with the count either
fixed in the config or taken from an input the user sets on the dashboard. The
block is unrolled in resolveSteps before the runner sees it, so the runner needs
no loop, the run's total step count stays honest, and every iteration appears in
the log as its own line — a failure on the third purchase reads as "(3/5)"
rather than as an indistinguishable repeat of the first.

Counts are clamped server-side against the automation's declared min/max, and
expansion is capped at 400 steps and three levels of nesting. Each iteration can
be a purchase, so the number is not taken on trust from the client, and the
confirmation dialog names it before anything runs.

skipIfNotFound on a click or type step tolerates an element that is not on the
page — a cookie banner, a modal that only sometimes appears. Only absence is
tolerated. That distinction needed a new NotFoundError: previously a missing
element, an unreachable dashboard, a missing tab and a covered button all
surfaced as the same DashboardError, and skipping that whole class would mean a
step quietly passing while the extension was down.

Orphaned runs are now reaped. Only one run executes at a time, so a run left in
'running' when its runner went away blocked every future run — restarting the
daemon mid-run deadlocked the queue, which is exactly what happened. The
heartbeat decides: a runner that is gone, or up and reporting idle, is not
driving that run whatever the status column says. Gated on the busy flag rather
than elapsed time alone, since a run sitting in a waitFor gate or a sign-in wait
can legitimately go minutes without progress.

Lucid Trading is scaffolded with no automations yet. One match pattern covers
both its hosts — `*.` matches the apex as well as subdomains, confirmed against
a live tab. Its signed-out pattern is `//lucidtrading.com/` rather than
`lucidtrading.com/dashboard`: the leading slashes anchor it to the start of the
host, and without them the substring also matches dash.lucidtrading.com, which
would abort every step while properly signed in.

Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 b748f95372 Add automation framework, typing, and runner for the autobuyer
Turns the autobuyer from a page scraper into something that acts. A dashboard
button queues a run; a desktop process executes it against the real browser.

lib/automations.ts — automations are declarative step lists nested inside the
firm whose site they drive. Steps are click / type / wait / navigate, and they
inherit the firm's tab pattern and URL, so one firm's automation can't act on
another's tab. Adding a button means adding an entry here; the page renders
buttons from the API and the runner receives steps from the server, so neither
needs editing. Runs key on firm:automation — every firm will plausibly have its
own "buy-accounts", and a bare id would resolve to the wrong one.

clicker/runner.py — the daemon behind the buttons. Claims a queued run, works
through the steps, reports each one back for the page's live log. Only one run
executes at a time: two processes driving one physical mouse would interleave
clicks. Heartbeats on its own thread, because a step can block for tens of
seconds and folding the beat into the main loop would show the runner as offline
in the middle of the run it was executing.

clicker/actions.py — one implementation of the safety checks, shared by the CLI
and the runner. Refuses to act when the element is covered by an overlay, when
coordinates fall off-screen, when the browser can't be confirmed frontmost, or
(for type) when the target isn't an editable field.

Typing: uneven human cadence, and the field is read back afterwards and compared
against what was typed — a field that never took focus fails silently and looks
identical to success otherwise. Non-ASCII is rejected because pyautogui skips
those characters without complaint, and newlines because Enter may submit the
form. Typos are deliberately not simulated: a mistyped digit in a trading form
is a real loss, and the correction is the part that can go wrong.

Extension: opens the firm's page when no tab matches, navigates to a specific
page for a navigate step (skipped when already there, so page state survives),
and retries the locate while a freshly loaded React app mounts — `complete` only
means the document loaded.

Staleness reporting, after it cost three debugging rounds: Chrome doesn't reload
an unpacked extension and Python doesn't reload a running process, so both now
report their version. A stale runner gets a red banner naming both versions and
the automation buttons are disabled, rather than failing mid-run on a step type
it predates.

Scale detection is now conservative: a raw OS/browser width ratio is only
trusted when it lands on a real scaling factor. On this multi-monitor desktop
the previous logic would have silently halved every coordinate.

Verified end to end against the live browser: navigate, locate, and a real
click (run #12, all three steps). API round-trips, claim-once semantics, run
cancellation, the heartbeat online/offline lifecycle, motion geometry and
timing, focus activation, and typing verification all pass.

Brandon LiandClaude Opus 5 54221bbc0c Add autobuyer page capture, browser extension, and desktop clicker
Builds the pipeline the autobuyer needs: see the page, find an element,
click it.

extension/ — MV3 Chromium extension. Polls /api/autobuyer/status and,
while on, scrapes the target tab's HTML and posts it back. Also serves
locate requests: focuses the window, scrolls the element into view, and
reports its position. host_permissions is scoped to tradeify plus
localhost so it cannot read other sites — an empty target pattern would
otherwise capture whatever tab happened to be active, including banking
or mail.

app/api/autobuyer/ — status toggle, capture store, and the locate request
queue. CORS is open because the extension's origin changes every time an
unpacked extension is reloaded.

app/autobuyer/page.tsx — ON switch, source view (default) and a rendered
view. The render uses sandbox="allow-scripts" without allow-same-origin:
the page's own JS is needed because sites ship content at opacity:0 and
fade it in, but the frame must not reach the dashboard's same-origin API
routes, which serve firm credentials.

clicker/ — Python CLI. Asks the extension where a selector is, adds the
element rect to the window's screen position and the browser chrome
height to get desktop coordinates, then clicks with a human motion model
(curved path, eased velocity, occasional overshoot, dwell before press).
Raises the browser application first, since macOS consumes a click on an
unfocused window rather than delivering it.

Refuses to click when the element is covered by an overlay, when the
coordinates fall off-screen, or when the browser cannot be confirmed
frontmost.

Verified: API round-trips, capture pruning, locate claim-once semantics,
motion geometry and timing, and focus activation — the last two against
stubs, since pyautogui and pyobjc are not installed here. NOT verified
end to end: Chrome is still running a stale build of the extension, so a
locate request has never completed against a real page and no real click
has been sent.
