  "works": "Re-checked a different way: the official MCP TypeScript SDK client and system Chrome against a new local shop page with different traps, offline. A 4 second delayed export was proved with a 10 second budget and correctly failed with a 1.5 second budget; a no-op button gave no; a navigation proved yes; a double submit was caught by a request count check; a delete answered 403 behind an 'Item deleted' message did not pass and the network view showed the 403. Delete buttons are refused until a dangerous-action confirmation is given, and bad predicates and wrong arguments were refused before anything ran.",
  "breaks": "New: a false success claim over a 200 reply whose JSON body reported failure (ok false with an error, while the page showed 'Subscribed!') passed as a verified yes; the only warning was a clause saying the response body was never recorded. On the zero-install mode there is no way to turn on body capture (that needs the in-page SDK wired with body capture), so this kind of silent failure can't be caught on an unwired page. A flow saved automatically from a drive that ended in a page navigation could not be replayed (verify called it unverifiable). The report command said 4 of 8 claims held while the context command for the same session said 3 proved and 4 failed. The unknown verdict on the 403 delete again blamed page churn on a page with none. Ending a session with a pass claim right after said no browser session was connected. A URL returning a 404 JSON reply was reported only as 'not an HTML page' without the status. Tool results still carry promotional text aimed at the agent, and step screenshots and journals are written into the project folder by default.",
