Separate Camofox’s REST service from the Camoufox engine, understand accessibility snapshots and element references, and define an authorized first use.
Follow a minimal localhost REST workflow with explicit identity, authentication and snapshot checks before attempting actions or importing credentials.
Plan a reproducible local browser-service deployment with Node 22, explicit binding and separate service-health and page-readiness tests.
Trace the server’s browser lifecycle and distinguish isolation of browser state from caller authorization and resource admission.
Inspect character-based pagination, preserved navigation tails, x-ref extraction and numeric coercion using two small, directly tested helper modules.
Build a workload-specific evaluation of cold launch, snapshots, screenshots, concurrency and correct authorized task completion.
Read the actual key policies, avoid exposing an unauthenticated browser service, and inventory profiles, traces, uploads and crash reporting.
Compare service operations, browser-state requirements and observation fidelity on one authorized task instead of treating stealth claims as a selection score.
Create a replayable owned-page test suite that links observations to actions and catches semantic extraction errors without relying on public-site experiments.
