So ... Test Driven Development?

1. Planner (Write a failing test or tests) 2. Executor (Generate a solution) 3. Verifier (Until the tests no longer fail) 4. Repeat

Yeah, that’s a pretty good analogy.

The main difference is that the “tests” are predicates over live browser state and are often proposed alongside the plan on the fly, not written upfront by a developer. But conceptually it’s very close: make the expected outcome explicit, try an action, verify, and only move forward if the condition actually holds.
