`Libretto`, deterministic browser automation generation for coding agents

Turns browser automation from runtime prompting into generated scripts you can inspect and debug. Strong pattern for brittle back-office flows, but still an early tool signal rather than a proven default.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Shifts from runtime AI actions to generated code, so flows can be versioned, reviewed, and patched like normal automation scripts.
  2. Combines Playwright UI steps with in-session network/API calls, targeting better reliability on messy legacy sites.
  3. Includes manual action recording, step-through debugging, and a read-only mode to reduce accidental writes during development.
  4. The real takeaway is the workflow: use agents at development time, not at runtime, when determinism matters more than autonomy.
