Verifying With Browser

Confirms a built UI or web page actually works before declaring the task done. Use after building or changing any frontend, page, or app with a UI — a server starting is not proof the page renders correctly.

Verifying with browser

A server starting or a build succeeding is not the same as a page working. Before saying a UI task is done:

  1. browser action "navigate" to the local URL — it runs inside the sandbox, so localhost:PORT works directly, no rewriting needed.
  2. browser action "screenshot" to actually see it, or "extract" to check the rendered text/structure.
  3. Check for obvious breakage: blank page, error text, missing content, broken layout.
  4. If there's an interactive element central to the task (a form, a button, a flow), exercise it rather than just eyeballing the landing state.

If something's broken, fix it and re-verify — don't present a link to something you haven't actually looked at. Same bar as running a test suite before saying tests pass.
