+## interaction feedback loop
+
+Every browser interaction should follow a **observe → act → observe** loop. After every action, you must check its result before proceeding. Never chain multiple actions blindly — the page may not have responded as expected.
+
+**Core loop:**
+
+1. **Open page** — get or create your page and navigate to the target URL
+2. **Observe** — take an accessibility snapshot to understand the current state
+3. **Update priors** — read the snapshot, identify the element to interact with
+4. **Act** — perform one action (click, type, submit)
+5. **Observe again** — take another snapshot to verify the action's effect
+6. **Repeat** — continue from step 3 until the task is complete

+When debugging why a web app isn't working (e.g., content not rendering, API errors, state issues), use these techniques **before** resorting to screenshots:
+
+**1. Console logs** — use `getLatestLogs` to check for errors:
+
+```js

+const appLogs = await getLatestLogs({ page, search: /myComponent|state/i });

+```js
+const info = await page.evaluate(() => {
+  const msgs = document.querySelectorAll('.message');
+  return Array.from(msgs).map(m => ({
+    text: m.textContent?.slice(0, 200),
+    visible: m.offsetHeight > 0,
+  }));
+});
+console.log(JSON.stringify(info, null, 2));
+```
+
+**3. Combine snapshot + logs for full picture:**
+
+```js
+await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
+await page.waitForTimeout(2000);
+
+const snap = await accessibilitySnapshot({ page, search: /dialog|error|message/ });
