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.

"""Automation runner — the process that makes dashboard buttons do something.
Leave this running. It polls the dashboard for queued runs, and when one appears
it works through that automation's steps, driving the real mouse and keyboard,
reporting each step back so the page can show progress.
python runner.py # against http://localhost:3000
python runner.py --api http://vps:3000
Steps come from the server, so adding a new button means editing
lib/automations.ts — nothing here needs to change.
Stop with Ctrl-C. A run in progress can be halted from the dashboard's Stop
button; the runner notices between steps.
