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.

AutoFirmer Capture (Chromium extension)
Polls the dashboard for an on/off flag and, while it's on, scrapes the target tab's HTML and posts it back to the dashboard.
Install (unpacked)
- Start the dashboard (
npm run dev) sohttp://localhost:3000is up. - Open
chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode (top right). - Load unpacked → select this
extension/folder. - Click the extension icon to open the popup and set:
- Dashboard URL — default
http://localhost:3000. Use the VPS IP if the dashboard runs elsewhere. - Poll interval — seconds between status checks (default 3).
- Target URL pattern — a Chrome match pattern like
https://*.tradovate.com/*. Leave blank to capture whichever tab is active. - Element selector — optional CSS selector; matching elements get their on-screen position measured alongside the HTML.
- Dashboard URL — default
The badge shows ON (green) while capturing, ! (red) if the dashboard is
unreachable, and nothing when the switch is off.
Flow
AutoBuyer page --PATCH /api/autobuyer/status--> SQLite settings
extension --GET /api/autobuyer/status--> { enabled }
extension --POST /api/autobuyer/capture-> html + viewport + element rects
AutoBuyer page --GET /api/autobuyer/capture-> renders the HTML
Scope
host_permissions is deliberately narrow — https://*.tradeify.co/* plus localhost
for the dashboard. The extension is technically incapable of reading any other site,
so an accidental capture of your bank or mail tab can't happen. The default
Target URL pattern matches, so it only ever captures the broker tab regardless
of which tab is focused.
To automate a different broker, add its pattern to host_permissions in
manifest.json, update the popup's target pattern, and reload the extension. Avoid
going back to <all_urls> — that re-enables scraping whatever tab is active.
Notes
- The extension never captures the dashboard's own pages — otherwise it would just mirror its own output back.
chrome://,about:and Web Store pages cannot be scripted by any extension; they're skipped.- MV3 service workers are torn down when idle. Each poll makes an extension API call, which keeps the worker alive; a 30-second alarm revives it if Chrome kills it anyway. So worst-case cadence is 30s, normal cadence is the poll interval.
